03 Where Is Here?

Chapter 3 Where is here? Jack looked out the window. He looked down at the picture in the book. He looked back out the window. The world outside and the world in the picture, they were exactly the same. The Pteranodon was soaring through the sky. The ground was covered with ferns and tall grass. There was a winding stream, a sloping hill, and volcanoes in the distance. Where are we? stammered Jack. The Pteranodon glided down to the base of their tree. The creature coasted to a stop and

第三章 这里是哪儿？ 杰克朝窗外望去。 他低头看了看书里的图片。 他又抬头看向窗外。 外面的世界和图片里的世界，居然一模一样。 无齿翼龙正划过天空。 地面上长满了蕨类植物和高高的草。 还有一条蜿蜒的小溪，一座缓坡山丘，远处矗立着几座火山。 我们在哪儿？ 杰克结结巴巴地问。 无齿翼龙飞降到他们待的那棵树的树根处。 这个生物滑翔着停了下来，然后

stood very still. What happened to us? said Annie. She looked at Jack. He looked at her. I don't know, said Jack. I was looking at the picture in the book. And you said, wow, I wish I could see a Pteranodon for real, said Annie. Yeah, and then we saw one in the Frog Creek woods, said Jack. Yeah, and then the wind got loud and the treehouse started spinning, said Annie. And we landed here, said Jack. And we landed here, said Annie. So that means, said Jack. So that means what, said Annie. Nothing, said Jack. He shook his head. None of this can be real. Annie looked out the window again. But he's real, she said. He's very real.

一动不动地站着。 “我们发生什么事了？”安妮说。 她看着杰克。 杰克也看着她。 “我不知道。”杰克说。 “我刚才正看书里的图片呢。” “然后你说，哇，我真希望能亲眼看见一只无齿翼龙呀。”安妮说。 “对，然后我们就在青蛙溪林子里看见一只了。”杰克说。 “对，然后风变得好大，树屋开始转起来了。”安妮说。 “然后我们就落到这儿了。”杰克说。 “然后我们就落到这儿了。”安妮说。 “所以这说明——”杰克说。 “说明什么呀？”安妮说。 “没什么。”杰克说。 他摇了摇头。 “这些不可能都是真的。” 安妮又朝窗外看去。 “可他是真的呀。”她说。 他真的存在。

Jack looked out the window with her. The Pteranodon was standing at the base of the oak tree, like her guard. His giant wings were spread out on either side of him. Hi! Annie shouted. Shush! said Jack. We're not supposed to be here. But where is here? said Annie. I don't know, said Jack. Hi! Annie called again to the creature. The Pteranodon looked up at them. Where is here? Annie called down. You're nuts. He can't talk, said Jack. But maybe the book can tell us. Jack looked down at the book. He read the words under the picture. This flying reptile lived in the Cretaceous period. It vanished 65 million years ago.

杰克和她一起望向窗外。无齿翼龙正站在橡树的树根旁， 就像她的护卫一样。他巨大的翅膀向身体两侧展开着。 “嗨！”安妮大喊道。 “嘘！”杰克说，“我们不该待在这儿的。” “可是这儿是哪里呀？”安妮说。 “我不知道。”杰克说。 “嗨！”安妮又对着那个生物喊道。 无齿翼龙抬头看向他们。 “这里是哪儿呀？”安妮朝下喊道。 “你傻啦。他不会说话的。”杰克说。 不过说不定这本书能告诉我们。 杰克低头看向那本书。他读了图片下面的文字。 这种会飞的爬行动物生活在白垩纪时期。 它在6500万年前就灭绝了。

No. Impossible. They couldn't have landed in a time 65 million years ago. Jack, said Annie, he's nice. Nice? Yeah, I can tell. Let's go down and talk to him. Talk to him? Annie started down the rope ladder. Hey, shouted Jack. But Annie kept going. Are you crazy? Jack called. Annie dropped to the ground. She stepped boldly up to the ancient creature.

不，不可能。他们不可能落到了6500万年前的时代。 “杰克，”安妮说，“他很友好呀。” “友好？是啊，我看得出来。我们下去跟他聊聊吧。” “跟他聊天？” 安妮开始顺着绳梯往下爬。 “喂！”杰克大喊，可安妮还在往下爬。 “你疯了吗？”杰克喊道。 安妮跳到了地上。她大胆地走向那只古老的生物。
