11 Treasure!

11. TREASURE! Jim and his dad were back aboard the Blackhole. They'd tied the car-boat along- side the ship and left Bones sitting on the backseat, guarding the parrots. Jim had just outlined the plan to his mom and Grandpa, and had made sure the fiddler, who was hopping around on the poop deck singing shanties, hadn't heard any of it. As Jim talked, Grandpa had been busy whittling a lump of timber

11. 宝藏!吉姆和他爸爸回到了黑洞号。 他们把汽车船拴在船边，让骨头坐在后座上看守鹦鹉。 吉姆刚刚向他的妈妈和爷爷概述了这个计划，并确保那个在船尾甲板上跳来跳去唱着“棚屋”的小提琴手没有听到。 吉姆说话的时候，爷爷正忙着削一块木头

he'd picked from their basket, fashioning himself a temporary leg. "So, do ye want to join us, Grandpa?" said Jim's dad. "Me, ye, and Jim can get back yer leg from the Pirate Cruncher, we'll grab a shipful o' gold and maybe rescue a few o' them pirates!" "Let's go!" said Grandpa, strapping his temporary peg to his leg before flinging his belt over his shoulder. "I've got an argument to finish with that beast, I 'ave." "Grandpa can go if he wants, but you're not goin' anywhere!" said Jim's mom, glaring at her husband. "That cursed fiddler is your friend, ye invited him, so ye can stay 'ere! I've had enough of his singin' for one day!"

他从他们的篮子里捡东西，给自己做了一条临时的腿。 “那么，爷爷，你想加入我们吗？”吉姆的爸爸说。 “我，你，还有吉姆，可以把你的腿从海盗脆饼里救出来，我们可以抢到一船金子，也许还能救几个海盗！”“我们走吧！”爷爷说，把他的临时绑腿绑在腿上，然后把皮带甩到肩上。 “我得跟那畜生吵个没完，我得。” “爷爷想去就去吧，但你哪儿也不许去！”吉姆的妈妈瞪着丈夫说。 “那个该死的小提琴手是你的朋友，你邀请了他，所以你可以住在这里！”我今天听够了他的歌声！”

"But I want to..." mumbled Jim's dad. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, grabbed the keys to the vehicle from out of his hands, and climbed down the rope ladder and into the driver's seat. The old fiddler appeared over the Blackhole's rail and serenaded them with a shanty as they chugged away. "Off you go, boys, but I think I'll stay here! I doubt what you find will bring you good cheer. For a pile of old metal you don't really need has brought on a dangerous case of greed!

“但是我想……”吉姆的爸爸喃喃地说。 她在他的脸颊上吻了一下，从他手中夺过车钥匙，爬下绳梯，坐上了驾驶座。 老小提琴手出现在黑洞的栏杆上，当他们嘎吱嘎吱地离开时，他给他们唱了一首小夜曲。 “你们走吧，孩子们，但我想留在这里！”我怀疑你的发现会给你带来快乐。 因为一堆你并不真正需要的旧金属已经带来了贪婪的危险案例！

And being greedy, you know, is wrong, which brings me at last to the end of my so—" "Oh, be quiet!" grumbled Jim's dad. The chug-chug-chug of the car-boat had sent Grandpa to sleep. Squawk was snoring on his shoulder, and Bones was fast asleep across his lap. Jim was sitting cross-legged on the front of the vehicle, scanning the horizon with a telescope. "LAND AHOY!" he yelled, pointing to a solitary palm tree in the distance.

你知道，贪心是不对的，这使我最终要结束我的……”“哦，安静点！”吉姆的爸爸抱怨道。 汽车船的轧轧轧轧声把爷爷弄睡着了。 Squawk在他的肩膀上打着鼾，Bones在他的腿上睡得很熟。 吉姆盘腿坐在车的前部，用望远镜扫视着地平线。 “着陆啊！”他指着远处一棵孤零零的棕榈树喊道。

Jim's mom turned to port a little and opened the throttle. Jim climbed around the windshield and toward the rear of the boat, where the cage of parrots was perched. Pretty Polly! Pieces of Eight! Fish and Chips! Eat yer greens! Yer mother was a lubber!

吉姆的妈妈把车转向左舷，打开了油门。 吉姆爬过挡风玻璃，向船尾爬去，那里停着一笼鹦鹉。 美丽的波利!八个里亚尔！炸鱼薯条！吃蔬菜！你妈妈是个笨蛋！

"Shhh!" said Jim, with his finger to his lips. "Ye'll need to be quiet now. Just fer a while!" Jim pulled a tarpaulin up around the cage and shackled the top closed with a lock and chain. He hung the key around his neck and jumped into the front seat, next to his mom. "Do ye think it'll wait for us to climb ashore, Mom? Before it eats us?" "I reckon it will," said his mom. "I'll drive on yonder sand and we'll see what happens. Maybe fasten yer seatbelt and stay in the vehicle. We'll be tossed about like a force ten before we end up in its tummy." As they drew nearer to the island, Jim spotted an enormous treasure chest

“嘘！”吉姆用手指按着嘴唇说。 “你现在需要安静。 等一会儿！”吉姆拉了一块防水油布围在笼子周围，用锁和链子锁住了笼子的顶部。 他把钥匙挂在脖子上，跳上前排座位，坐在他妈妈旁边。 “你认为它会等我们爬上岸吗，妈妈？” 在它吃掉我们之前？”“我想会的，”他妈妈说。 “我把车开到那边的沙滩上，看看会发生什么。 你最好系好安全带，待在车里。 我们会像一股力量一样被甩来甩去，然后就会被扔进它的肚子里。” 当他们靠近小岛时，吉姆发现了一个巨大的宝箱
