15 Duncan Meets a Bear

CHAPTER 15 Duncan Meets a Bear The bear continued to grunt, and then proceeded to roll around the cave floor. The chief stepped forward and told the other young women caring for the girl to leave. "Let this brother help you," he said to the sick girl. Then, turning to Duncan, he said, "I leave you here, and trust you will do your best to make her better." Duncan now found himself alone with the bear and the poor, sick girl. The bear came toward

第十五章邓肯遇到一只熊熊继续咕噜着，然后在洞里滚来滚去。 酋长走上前去，让其他照顾小女孩的年轻妇女离开。 “让这个兄弟帮助你，”他对生病的女孩说。 然后，他转向邓肯，说：“我把你留在这里，相信你会尽力让她好起来。” 邓肯现在发现自己和熊还有那个可怜的生病的女孩在一起。 熊走过来

him, shaking all over. Duncan looked around quickly to see if he could run, but there was nowhere to go. The bear shook itself so hard that Duncan didn't know what to do. Then its head came off! It was a costume—underneath the fur was Hawkeye! "Goodness!" Duncan cried, "What on earth are you doing?" "I left the general and Chingachgook at the old beaver lodge," Hawkeye said, "where they are safe from the Hurons. Then Uncas and I made our way to the other camp—have you seen him?" "Yes," Duncan answered. "They captured him. They will kill him tomorrow. It's terrible!" "Oh, I knew it. That's why I am here. I could never leave him to such a terrible fate." "What happened?" Duncan asked. "Uncas moved too far forward for me to follow—he was too quick. Then a scuffle with one of the Hurons, a coward who ran away from

他浑身发抖。邓肯迅速环顾四周，想看看能不能跑开，但却无处可去。 熊抖得太厉害了，邓肯不知道该怎么办。 然后它的头掉下来了！那是一件戏服——皮衣下面是鹰眼！“天哪!”邓肯喊道：“你到底在做什么？”“我把将军和钦加古克留在了海狸的老房子里，”鹰眼说，“他们在那里不会受到休伦人的伤害。 然后我和昂卡斯去了另一个营地——你看见他了吗？”“是的，”邓肯回答。 “他们抓住了他。他们明天就会杀了他。 这真是太可怕了!”“哦，我就知道。 这就是我在这里的原因。我决不能让他遭受这样可怕的命运。” “发生什么事了?”邓肯问。 “恩卡斯向前走得太远了，我跟不上他——他跑得太快了。 然后和一个休伦人扭打起来，一个懦夫从

the fighting, led Uncas into an ambush!" "He has paid dearly for his speed," Duncan said. "But how did you get this costume?" Hawkeye laughed. "I came across one of the Hurons dressing up as a bear for a celebration. I tied him up and took the bear suit so I could come find you, and we could save Uncas and Alice." "Well," Duncan said, "you make a very good bear!" "One does not live in the woods for so long without learning the way a bear moves," Hawkeye replied. "Any luck finding Alice?" Duncan shook his head. "I have searched all of the lodges in the village and have seen no sign of her. I was hoping she might be in here." "You heard David," Hawkeye said. "He said that she expects you." "I think he was talking about this poor girl," Duncan said, pointing to the girl on the bed. "Maybe he was, but there's only one way to

导致昂卡斯中了埋伏！”邓肯说：“他为自己的速度付出了高昂的代价。 “但你是怎么弄到这身戏服的？”鹰眼笑了。 “我遇到一个休伦人打扮成熊参加庆祝活动。 我把他绑起来，穿上熊服，这样我就可以来找你，我们可以救恩卡斯和爱丽丝。” “嗯，”邓肯说，“你是一只非常好的熊！”鹰眼回答说：“一个人在森林里住那么久，不可能不学会熊的行动方式。” “找到爱丽丝了吗？”邓肯摇了摇头。 “我把村里所有的小屋都找遍了，没有看到她的踪影。 我希望她可能在这里。” “你听到大卫的话了。”鹰眼说。 “他说她在等你。” “我想他说的是这个可怜的女孩，”邓肯指着床上的女孩说。 “也许他是，但只有一个办法。

find out. I will get back into this costume and climb up above to see what I can discover," Hawkeye said as he put the bear's head back on. Hawkeye climbed up the walls of the cave, just as a bear would. It took him a while, but when he reached the top, he had a good look around. "Alice is here," he whispered. "There is another door behind you. She is on the other side of it." Duncan stepped forward. "I would say something to her," Hawkeye continued, "but I am afraid she will be scared, seeing as I am dressed up like a bear." The scout laughed. "Of course, you're not much better in your disguise." "Do I look that frightening?" Duncan asked. "You could probably scare a wolf," Hawkeye answered. "Look, there's a spring over there. You can wash your face first." It took only a few minutes for Duncan to shed

找出来。我要穿上这身戏服，爬到上面看看我能发现什么。”鹰眼边说边把熊的头戴上。 鹰眼像熊一样爬上了山洞的墙壁。 他花了一段时间，但当他到达山顶时，他环顾了一下四周。 “爱丽丝在这儿。”他低声说。 “你身后还有一扇门。 她在另一边。” 邓肯走上前去。“我想对她说点什么，”鹰眼继续说，“但我怕她会害怕，因为我打扮得像只熊。” 侦察员笑了。“当然，你的伪装也好不到哪里去。” “我看起来有那么可怕吗？”邓肯问。 “你可能会吓到狼。”鹰眼回答。 “看，那边有个泉水。 你可以先洗脸。” 邓肯只花了几分钟就脱毛了

his disguise. Then he raced down the passageway to the other door, while Hawkeye looked around the Hurons' secret hideaway for another way out. At last Duncan came to the farthest room and flung open the bark door. "Duncan!" Alice said. "Alice!" "I knew you would come for me!" she said. "But you are all alone?" Duncan told her that he had come with the Mohicans to rescue her. "Now," he said, "we need to get out of here— but you'll have to be very strong. Keep thinking of your father, and how happy he will be to see you." They were speaking quietly when Duncan felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Magua standing there! "What do you want?" Alice said. She folded her arms across her chest. Duncan stepped in front of her and stared at Magua. At first, no one

他的伪装。然后他沿着通道跑到另一扇门，鹰眼环顾休伦人的秘密藏身之处，寻找另一条出路。 最后，邓肯来到了最远的房间，猛地打开了树皮门。 “邓肯!”爱丽丝说。“爱丽丝!”“我就知道你会来找我的！”她说。 “你就一个人吗？”邓肯告诉她，他和莫希干人是来救她的。 “现在，”他说，“我们得离开这里——但你必须非常坚强。 想想你的父亲吧，他见到你会多么高兴啊。” 他们正在悄悄地说话，这时邓肯感到有人拍了拍他的肩膀。 他转过身来，看见Magua站在那里！“你想要什么？”爱丽丝说。 她双臂交叉在胸前。 邓肯走到她面前，盯着玛瓜。 一开始，没有人

moved. Then Magua stepped around Duncan and locked the door. There would be no escape. "You can try to keep us against our will," Duncan said, "but we will have our revenge. You will be dead—and by my hand!" Magua laughed. "Will you be so angry tomorrow when we punish you with Uncas?" The warrior turned and was about to leave, when a loud growl stopped him. Magua knew that it was a trick—he had seen the bear costume many times before. But when he tried to step around the bear, a louder and even angrier growl greeted him. The bear stood on its back legs and shook its front paws. "Foolish tricks," Magua said. "Go play with the children." The bear jumped forward and grabbed Magua. Duncan, acting quickly, grabbed some rope from the cave and tied him up. Magua pushed and pulled, but it didn't matter. He was bound up tightly in the rope.

感动。然后，马瓜绕过邓肯，锁上了门。 那就无处可逃了。“你可以试图违背我们的意愿留住我们，”邓肯说，“但我们会报复的。 你会死的，而且是死在我手里！”马褂笑了。 “明天我们用恩卡斯惩罚你的时候，你还会这么生气吗？”武士转身正要离开，突然一声咆哮拦住了他。 玛瓜知道这是个骗局——他以前见过很多次熊的服装。 但当他试图绕过熊时，迎接他的是一声更响亮、更愤怒的咆哮。 熊用后腿站着，摇晃着前爪。 “愚蠢的把戏，”马瓜说。 “去和孩子们玩吧。” 熊跳上前去抓住了玛瓜。 邓肯行动迅速，从洞里抓起一根绳子，把他绑了起来。 马瓜又推又拉，但没关系。 他被绳子紧紧地捆着。
