3 Stuck in My Head

CHAPTER THREE STUCK IN MY HEAD I STOOD AT my window and watched the searchlight make its circular pattern across the sky, flashing by my window every six seconds. Just like Hannah promised, the searchlight went off right before ten o'clock. I hadn't realized how much brighter the night was with the searchlight. Now that it was off, I could see how dark it was. There was no moonlight or starlight —it was cloudy out. Oh, and there were fireflies. In our backyard. A

我站在窗前，看着探照灯在天空中划出一个圆形的图案，每六秒钟从我的窗前闪过一次。 正如汉娜承诺的那样，探照灯在十点前熄灭了。 我没有意识到探照灯下的夜晚是多么明亮。 现在灯已经关了，我可以看到里面有多黑。 没有月光，也没有星光——外面是阴天。 哦，还有萤火虫。 在我们的后院。一个

bunch of them. How could something so little blink so brightly? The searchlight needed a big red gasoline-powered generator to shine its light. Fireflies don't have generators. The searchlight is used to attract people. Fireflies use their light to attract other fireflies. I thought. I didn't know that for sure.

一堆人。这么小的东西怎么能闪烁得这么亮？ 探照灯需要一个巨大的红色汽油发电机来发光。 萤火虫没有发电机。 探照灯是用来吸引人的。 萤火虫用它们的光来吸引其他萤火虫。 我想。我不确定。

There was something there. Right at the edge of my mind. Something needed to be figured out. Something needed to be done. I climbed into bed. But I didn't fall asleep for quite a while. Something was stuck in my head. Fireflies.

那里有些东西。 就在我的脑海里。 有些事情需要弄清楚。 需要做点什么。 我爬上了床。但我好一会儿都没睡着。 有件事在我脑海里挥之不去。 萤火虫。
