海盗飞越月球

Chapter 1. Too Late. Jack stared out his bedroom window. The rain kept falling and falling. The TV said it would stop by noon, said Annie, his seven -year -old sister. It's already past noon, said Jack. But we have to go to the tree house, said Annie. I have a feeling the in -person will be there today. Jack pushed his glasses into place and took a deep breath. He wasn't sure he was ready to meet the in -person yet.

第一章 太迟了 杰克盯着卧室窗外，雨下个不停。 “电视说雨中午前会停的。”他七岁的妹妹安妮说。 “现在已经过了中午了。”杰克说。 “可我们得去树屋呀。”安妮说，“我感觉那个神秘人今天会在那儿。” 杰克推了推眼镜，深吸了一口气。 他还不确定自己有没有准备好见那个神秘人。

Person who put all the books in the magic treehouse Come on said Annie Jack sighed Okay, he said you get our raincoats and boots. I'll get the medallion and bookmark Annie ran to get their rain gear Jack reached into his drawer. He took out the medallion It was gold the letter M was engraved on it Then he took out the bookmark. It was made of blue leather. It had the same M on it Both EMS match the M that was on the floor of the treehouse Jack put the medallion and bookmark into his backpack Then he threw in his notebook and pencil Jack liked to take notes about important things

就是那个把所有书放进魔法树屋的人呀 “快点呀。”安妮说 杰克叹了口气 “好吧，”他说，“你去拿咱们的雨衣和雨靴，我去拿徽章和书签。” 安妮跑去拿雨具，杰克伸手拉开抽屉，拿出了那枚徽章。 徽章是金色的，上面刻着字母M。 接着他拿出书签，是蓝色皮革做的，上面也有一模一样的M。 这两个M和树屋地板上的M完全一致。 杰克把徽章和书签放进了自己的背包里。 接着他又把笔记本和铅笔也塞了进去。 杰克喜欢把重要的事情都记下来。

I got our rain stuff," called Annie. Jack picked up his pack and went downstairs. Annie was waiting by the back door. She was putting on her boots. Meet you outside, she said. Jack pulled on his raincoat and boots. Then he put on his backpack and joined her. The wind was blowing hard. Ready, set, go! shouted Annie. They kept their heads down and charged into the rainy wind. Soon they were in the Frog Creek woods. Tree branches swayed, flinging rainwater everywhere. Yuck! said Annie. They splashed through puddles until they came to the tallest oak tree in the woods. They looked up.

“我拿到咱们的雨具啦！”安妮喊道。 杰克背起背包走下了楼。 安妮正在后门旁边等他。 她正在穿雨靴。 “我在外面等你哦。”她说。 杰克套上雨衣，穿好雨靴。 然后背上背包出门找安妮了。 外面的风刮得很大。 “预备，跑！” 安妮大喊道。 他们低着头，一头扎进了风雨里。 没一会儿他们就到了青蛙溪树林。 树枝晃来晃去，把雨水甩得到处都是。 “好讨厌！”安妮说。 他们踩着水坑一路往前跑，一直跑到树林里最高的那棵橡树前。 他们抬起头往上看。

Tucked between two branches was the treehouse. It looked dark and lonely against the stormy sky. Hanging from the treehouse was a rope ladder. It was blowing in the wind. Jack thought of all the books up there. He hoped they weren't getting wet. The in -person's been there, said Annie. Jack caught his breath. How can you tell? He said. I can feel it, she whispered. She grabbed the rope ladder and started up. Jack followed. Inside the treehouse it was chilly and damp, but the books were dry. They were all neatly stacked along the wall, just the way they had been the day before. Annie picked up a castle book on top of the tree.

树屋就嵌在两根树枝中间。 在暴风雨的天空映衬下，它看起来又暗又冷清。 树屋下面挂着一架绳梯。 绳梯在风中晃来晃去。 杰克想起了树屋里放着的所有书。 他希望那些书没有被淋湿。 “那个神秘人来过这儿了。”安妮说。 杰克一下子屏住了呼吸。 “你怎么知道的？” 他问道。 “我能感觉到。”她小声说。 她抓住绳梯，开始往上爬。 杰克跟在她后面。 树屋里又冷又潮，不过所有书都是干的。 书都整整齐齐地靠墙堆着，和前一天他们离开的时候一模一样。 安妮拿起了一摞书最上面的一本城堡主题的书
