STORM WARNING by LINDA SUE PARK

琳达·苏·帕克的风暴警报

CHAPTER 1 "Bahamas." "Jamaica." "Bahamas." "Jamaica." Dan gritted and clenched every part of his body that could be gritted or clenched. He tried one more time. "BA–HA–MAS. Amy, think about it—" "I am thinking about it!" his sister shot back. "Which is more than you're doing! Look, if we're going to go where she went, it has to be Jamaica. She wasn't even a pirate when she lived in the Bahamas!" They were talking about Anne Bonny, who had disguised herself as a man and become a swashbuckling pirate way back in the 1700s. And who might — or might not — be one of their ancestors. In China, Dan had found a miniature

第一章“巴哈马群岛”。“牙买加”。 “巴哈马群岛”。“牙买加”。丹握紧了他身体上每一个可以握紧的部位。 他又试了一次。“BA-HA-MAS。 艾米，考虑一下——”“我正在考虑呢！”他妹妹反驳道。 “这比你做的还厉害！”听着，如果我们要去她去过的地方，那就得去牙买加。 她住在巴哈马群岛的时候甚至都不是海盗！”他们谈论的是安妮·邦尼，早在18世纪，她就把自己伪装成一个男人，成为了一个虚张声势的海盗。 谁可能是——也可能不是——他们的祖先之一。 在中国，丹发现了一个微缩模型

portrait of a woman with Anne Bonny's name on the back. It was their only lead to the next step in their quest. Amy and Dan were Cahills. For more than five hundred years, Cahill family members had been among the most influential people in the world. Scientists like Galileo and Marie Curie; artists and writers like Vincent Van Gogh and Mark Twain; world leaders — Napoleon and George Washington; the list went on and on… and it was looking like Anne Bonny might have been a Cahill, too. In the early 1500s, the Cahill family had separated into branches, each bearing the legacy of a child born to Gideon and Olivia Cahill. Oldest son, Luke: the Lucians. Strategists, politicians, businesspeople. Sister Katherine: the Ekaterina branch, innovators and inventors. Brother Thomas: the Tomas clan of explorers, adventurers, and athletes. And sister Jane: the Janus line, populated by artists and visionaries. Since that time, the factions had been battling one another in a desperate race to find the secret to becoming the most powerful people on the

一个女人的肖像，背后是安妮·邦尼的名字。 这是他们下一步探索的唯一线索。 艾米和丹是卡希尔家的。五百多年来，卡希尔家族成员一直是世界上最有影响力的人之一。 像伽利略和居里夫人这样的科学家；艺术家和作家，如文森特·梵高和马克·吐温；世界领导人——拿破仑和乔治·华盛顿；名单越来越长，看起来安妮·邦尼也可能是卡荷尔家的人。 16世纪初，卡希尔家族分成了几个分支，每个分支都继承了吉迪恩和奥利维亚·卡希尔所生的孩子的遗产。 大儿子卢克：卢西亚人。 战略家、政治家、商人。 凯瑟琳修女：叶卡捷琳娜分支，创新者和发明家。 托马斯兄弟：托马斯家族的探险家、冒险家和运动员。 妹妹简：Janus系列，由艺术家和梦想家组成。 从那时起，各派系就在一场绝望的竞赛中相互争斗，以找到成为地球上最强大的人的秘密

planet. Amy and Dan had joined that race. Not that they knew what they were doing at first. When their beloved grandmother Grace died, the terms of her will gave them a hint toward the first Clue — and set in motion an adventure they could never have imagined. Not alone, either. Other teams were chasing down the Clues, too — teams that would do anything to keep Amy and Dan from getting there first. Explosions, cave–ins, atttempts to poison them, drown them, bury them alive. In France, Austria, Japan, Korea, Egypt, Australia, South Africa, China… Dan and Amy had survived it all, finding several of the precious Clues along the way. And they still didn't know what they were doing. They were now in the Beijing airport waiting for Nellie, their au pair, who was at the currency exchange window. "Jamaica was the last place anyone ever saw or

星球。艾米和丹也参加了比赛。 他们一开始并不知道自己在做什么。 当他们敬爱的祖母格蕾丝去世时，她的遗嘱给了他们第一个线索的暗示，并开启了一场他们从未想象过的冒险。 也不孤单。其他球队也在追逐线索——这些球队会不惜一切代价阻止艾米和丹先到那里。 爆炸，塌方，企图毒死他们，淹死他们，活埋他们。 在法国、奥地利、日本、韩国、埃及、澳大利亚、南非、中国，丹和艾米都活了下来，一路上找到了几条珍贵的线索。 他们仍然不知道自己在做什么。 他们现在在北京机场等他们的互惠生内莉，她在货币兑换窗口。 “牙买加是人们见到的最后一个地方

heard of her," Amy said. She had already researched Anne Bonny online. "So that's where we should start looking." "But—" Dan stopped, trying desperately to think of a way around Amy's reasoning. She was good at this stuff, at seeing the big picture. He was more a detail guy, and right now he was very interested in one particular detail about the Bahamas. Amy looked him right in the eye. "I know what you're thinking, Daniel Arthur Cahill," she said sternly. "Don't be ridiculous. We've got to beat the other teams to the next clue. We don't have time to waste at some dumb amusement park." Dan yelped. "'Dumb amusement park'? Is that what you think it is? Don't you know anything? Oceanus is the biggest water park in the world! They've got, like, a hundred waterslides! And you can swim with dolphins! And see stingrays and piranhas!" "Ha!" Amy pointed at him in triumph. "I knew you were thinking about Oceanus!" "Well, it's the last thing you'd think about,"

我听说过她，”艾米说。她已经在网上研究过安妮·邦尼了。 “所以这就是我们应该开始寻找的地方。” “但是——”丹停了下来，拼命想办法绕开艾米的推理。 她在这方面很在行，很有远见。 他更注重细节，现在他对巴哈马群岛的一个细节非常感兴趣。 艾米直视着他的眼睛。 “我知道你在想什么，丹尼尔·阿瑟·卡希尔。”她严厉地说。 “别傻了。我们得抢在其他队伍前面找到下一个线索。 我们可没时间浪费在什么无聊的游乐园里。” 丹叫喊起来。“‘愚蠢的游乐园’？ 你是这么想的吗？ 你什么都不知道吗？海洋是世界上最大的水上乐园！他们有上百个水上滑梯！你还可以和海豚一起游泳！还有黄貂鱼和食人鱼！”“哈!”艾米得意地指着他。 “我就知道你在想Oceanus!”“嗯，这是你最不可能想到的事情。”

Dan said bitterly. "The only person in the world who has no idea how to have fun, and she has to be my sister. No wait, I take that back. Your idea of fun is a library open twenty–four–seven." Amy's eyes widened in hurt. "D–Dan, that's not f–fair," she said, her slight stammer surfacing as it always did when she was upset. Dan's shoulders slumped. Hurting Amy's feelings always made him feel bad, but honestly, sometimes he couldn't help it. "Look, I know you think it doesn't make sense for us to go to the Bahamas first. But we don't know for sure that the clue is in Jamaica, either." "True," Amy admitted. Dan sensed her softening and strained his brain to come up with something that would convince her. "With every clue we've found, it's always been because we discovered a bunch of other stuff along the way, right? In the 'wrong' places. But if we hadn't gone to the wrong places first, we wouldn't have gotten what we needed to find the clue in the right place." His face was a little red now from the effort of

丹痛苦地说。“世界上唯一一个不知道如何玩乐的人，她一定是我妹妹。 不，等等，我收回那句话。 你心目中的乐趣就是一个24小时开放的图书馆。” 艾米伤心得睁大了眼睛。 “丹，这太不公平了。”她说，有点结巴了，她难过的时候总是这样。 丹的肩膀耷拉下来。伤害艾米的感情总是让他感觉不好，但说实话，有时他也忍不住。 “听着，我知道你觉得我们不应该先去巴哈马群岛。 但我们也不确定线索是否在牙买加。” “没错，”艾米承认。丹感觉到她的心软了，他绞尽脑汁想想出一些能说服她的办法。 “我们发现的每一条线索，都是因为我们在这个过程中发现了一堆其他的东西，对吧？” 在“错误的”地方。但如果我们没有先去错误的地方，我们就不会在正确的地方找到我们需要的线索。” 他的脸现在有点红，因为他的努力
