THE TIMEKEEPERS The Ancient Olympics SJ KING

计时员是古代奥林匹克运动之王

Chapter 1 Adventure time It was the final game of the soccer tournament, so the crowd didn't mind the hot Mexican sun. They shouted and cheered as the clock counted down the last seconds of the match. Rosa's team was tied 2-2, and the ball was in midfield.

这是足球锦标赛的最后一场比赛，所以人们并不介意墨西哥的烈日。 当比赛的时钟倒数到最后几秒时，他们大声欢呼。 罗莎的球队以2比2打平，球在中场。

"Come on, Rosa," she said to herself. "We can still win!" She dodged the girl who was marking her and raised an arm—she was free and onside. Her teammate kicked the ball across the front of the goal, straight toward Rosa. Suddenly, the ball stopped in midair and the players were as still as statues. The crowd of spectators were silent, their flags stopped in midwave.

“来吧，罗莎，”她自言自语道。 “我们还能赢！”她躲开了那个盯着她的女孩，举起了一只胳膊——她自由了，在里面。 她的队友把球踢过了球门，直直地踢向罗莎。 突然，球停在半空中，球员们像雕像一样一动不动。 围观的人群鸦雀无声，他们的旗帜在半空中飘扬。

There was no birdsong, no distant roar of traffic—not a sound. Rosa wasn't worried—she knew exactly what was happening! Instead, she was excited. Rosa belonged to a secret organization called the Timekeepers, who traveled into the past, putting history back on track when it had gone wrong. And an evil villain, named DeLay, was always causing chaos throughout the centuries... Rosa glanced at her wrist. The hands on her special watch were spinning backward! She was being called to the History Hub, the Timekeepers' HQ. DeLay must have messed up history again, she thought.

没有鸟鸣，没有远处车辆的轰鸣声——一点声音也没有。 罗莎一点也不担心——她清楚地知道发生了什么！相反，她很兴奋。 罗莎属于一个叫计时员的秘密组织，他们穿越到过去，在历史出错的时候把它拉回正轨。 还有一个邪恶的恶棍，名叫迪莱，几个世纪以来一直在制造混乱…… 罗莎瞥了一眼自己的手腕。 她那块特制手表上的指针在向后旋转！她被召唤到历史中心，计时员的总部。 她想，拖延一定又把历史搞乱了。

Rosa flipped up her watch face to reveal a screen of buttons, and pressed the biggest one. She gasped as her feet left the ground amid a whirl of colors. Bright, white light hid the field, the stadium, everything... The next moment, Rosa's soccer cleats touched down and the white light shimmered and disappeared. She was inside a fantastic museum. Its shelves and glass-fronted display cabinets were crammed with historical objects. The History Hub!

罗莎掀开表盘，露出一屏按钮，按下最大的那个。 当她的脚在一片色彩的漩涡中离开地面时，她倒吸了一口气。 明亮的白光遮住了球场、体育场、一切…… 下一刻，罗莎的钉鞋落地，白光闪烁着消失了。 她在一个奇妙的博物馆里。 它的架子和玻璃陈列柜里堆满了历史文物。 历史中心！

"Rosa, here!" she called, then glanced at some of the objects: a young prince's crown from the 14th century, a papyrus scroll from ancient Egypt, and a gold locket containing a piece of paper that was too fragile to unfold. Something rustled. Rosa looked up at a large cuckoo clock on the wall. A little red door opened and a bright-eyed bird looked out. "Cuckoo!" the bird said. "Hi, Tempo!" said Rosa. "Am I first to arrive?" "Cuckoo!" the bird replied, bobbing her head. White light flashed and a dark-haired girl appeared. "Yasmin, here!" she said. Yasmin loved all things technology!

“罗莎，在这里！”她喊道，然后扫了一眼那些东西：一顶14世纪年轻王子的王冠，一卷古埃及的莎草纸，还有一个金挂坠盒，里面装着一张太脆弱而无法展开的纸。 沙沙作响。罗莎抬头看了看墙上的一个大布谷鸟钟。 一扇红色的小门打开了，一只眼睛明亮的小鸟向外张望。 “杜鹃！”小鸟说。“嗨，泰普！”罗莎说。 “我是第一个到的吗？”“布谷鸟！”鸟儿摇着头回答。 一道白光闪过，一个黑发女孩出现了。 “雅斯明，在这儿！”她说。雅斯敏喜欢所有科技产品！
