那个

Chapter 1, Meow. It's still here, said Jack. It looks empty, said Annie. Jack and his seven -year -old sister gazed up at a very tall oak tree. At the top of the tree was a tree house. Late morning sunlight lit the woods. It was almost time for lunch. Shh, said Jack. What was that noise? What noise? I heard a noise, Jack said. He looked around...

第一章，喵。 “它还在这儿呢。”杰克说。 “看起来里面没人。”安妮说。 杰克和他七岁的妹妹抬头望着一棵特别高的橡树。 树的顶端有一座树屋。 上午晚些时候的阳光照亮了整片树林。 差不多到吃午饭的时间啦。 “嘘。”杰克说。 那是什么声音？ 什么声音？ “我听到有声音。”杰克说。 他四处张望……

around. It sounded like someone coughing. I didn't hear anything, said Annie. Come on, let's go up. She grabbed onto the rope ladder and started climbing. Jack tiptoed over to a clump of bushes. He pushed aside a small branch. Hello? He said. Anybody there? There was no answer. Come on, Annie called down. The treehouse looks the same as it did yesterday. Jack still felt that someone was nearby. Could it be the person who'd put all the books in the treehouse? Jack! Jack gazed over the top of the bushes. Was the mysterious person watching him now? The person whose name began with M? Maybe M wanted the gold medallion back. The one Jack had found on their dinosaur adventure. Maybe M wanted the leather belt back.

声音听起来像是有人在咳嗽。 “我什么都没听到呀。”安妮说，“走吧，我们爬上去。” 她抓着绳梯，开始往上爬。 杰克踮着脚走到一丛灌木旁边，拨开一根小树枝。 “喂？”他说，“有人在吗？”没人回应。 “快点呀！”安妮在上面往下喊，“树屋看起来和昨天一模一样。” 杰克还是觉得附近有人，会不会是把所有书都放在树屋里的那个人？ “杰克！”杰克从灌木丛顶端望过去。 那个神秘人现在是不是正盯着他看？就是名字首字母是M的那个人？ 说不定M想要回那枚金色奖章，就是杰克他们上次恐龙冒险时找到的那枚。 说不定M想要回那条皮腰带。

bookmark back, the one from the castle book. There was an M on the medallion and an M on the bookmark, but what did M stand for? Tomorrow I'll bring everything back, Jack said loudly. A breeze swept through the woods. The leaves rattled. Come on, called Annie. Jack went back to the big oak tree. He grabbed onto the rope ladder and climbed up. At the top, he crawled through a hole in the wooden floor. He tossed down his backpack and pushed his glasses into place. Hmm, which book is it going to be today? said Annie. She was looking at the book scattered around the treehouse. Annie picked up the book about castles.

还有那枚书签，就是城堡书里夹的那枚。奖章上有个M，书签上也有个M。 可是M代表什么呢？ “明天我就把所有东西都还回来。”杰克大声说。 一阵微风吹过树林，树叶沙沙作响。 “快点呀！”安妮喊道。杰克走回大橡树那里，抓住绳梯。 往上爬。到了顶端，他从木地板的洞里钻进去，把背包扔下来。 推了推滑下来的眼镜。 “嗯，今天我们要去哪本书里呀？”安妮问，她正看着散放在树屋里的书。 安妮拿起了那本讲城堡的书。

Hey, this isn't wet anymore, she said. Let me see. Jack took the book from her. He was amazed. It looked fine. Yesterday, it had gotten soaked in a castle moat. The castle book had taken Jack and Annie back to the time of night. Jack silently thanked the mysterious knight who had rescued them. Watch out! Warned Annie. She waved a dinosaur book in Jack's face. Put that away, said Jack. The day before yesterday, the dinosaur book had taken them to the time of dinosaurs. Jack silently thanked the Pteranodon who had saved him from a Pteranosaurus Rex. Annie put the dinosaur book back with the other books. Then she gasped. Wow, she whispered. Look at this. She held up a book about ancient Egypt. Jack caught his breath. He took the book from her. A green silk bookmark.

“嘿，它不再湿乎乎的啦。”她说。 给我看看。 杰克从她手里拿过书。 他惊讶极了。 书看起来完好无损。 昨天它还在城堡的护城河里泡得透湿呢。 这本城堡书把杰克和安妮带回了骑士时代。 杰克在心里默默感谢那位救了他们的神秘骑士。 小心！ 安妮提醒道。 她把一本恐龙书在杰克脸前晃来晃去。 “快把它收起来。”杰克说。 前天，这本恐龙书把他们带回了恐龙时代。 杰克在心里默默感谢那只把他从霸王龙爪下救出来的无齿翼龙。 安妮把恐龙书放回其他书旁边。 紧接着她倒抽了一口冷气。 “哇。”她小声说。 快看这个。 她举着一本讲古埃及的书。 杰克也屏住了呼吸。 他从她手里接过书。 一枚绿色的丝绸书签。
