04 Vile Booty

Chapter 4 Vile Booty Jack started to run across the hot sand. He ran as fast as he could, but the pirates ran faster. Before Jack knew it, the biggest pirate had grabbed him. Jack struggled, but the pirate had huge, strong arms. He held on to Jack and laughed a mean, ugly laugh. He had a shaggy, black beard. A patch covered one eye. Jack heard Annie yelling. He saw her coming down the rope ladder. Stay where you are! Jack shouted.

第四章 肮脏的战利品 杰克开始在滚烫的沙子上飞奔。 他拼尽全力跑，可海盗们跑得更快。 杰克还没反应过来，就被块头最大的海盗抓住了。 杰克拼命挣扎，可海盗的胳膊又粗又壮。 他紧紧攥着杰克，发出一声阴险又难听的笑。 他留着乱蓬蓬的黑胡子，一只眼睛戴着眼罩。 杰克听见安妮在大喊，看见她正顺着绳梯往下爬。 待在那儿别动！杰克大喊。

But Annie kept coming. Leave him alone, you bully! She cried. The other two pirates laughed meanly. They were dirty and ragged. Annie charged up to the biggest pirate. Let him go! She said. She hit the pirate with her fist and kicked him. But the pirate just growled. Then he grabbed her too. And with his giant hands, he held Jack and Annie as if they were two kittens. No one escapes, Captain Bones! He roared. His breath was terrible. Let go! Annie shouted into his face. But Captain Bones just smiled. All his teeth were black. Annie fell silent. Captain Bones laughed loudly. Then he turned to the other two.

可安妮还是不停往下爬。 放开他，你这个坏蛋！ 她喊道。 另外两个海盗阴险地笑了起来。 他们俩浑身脏兮兮的，衣服破破烂烂。 安妮冲到大个子海盗面前。 放开他！ 她说。 她用拳头打海盗，还抬脚踢他。 可海盗只是低吼了一声。 紧接着他也把安妮抓住了。 他用那双大手抓着杰克和安妮，就像捏着两只小猫咪。 没人能从我骨头船长手里逃走！ 他怒吼道。 他呼出的气难闻死了。 放开我们！ 安妮对着他的脸大喊。 可骨头船长只是笑了笑。 他的牙齿全都是黑的。 安妮一下子安静下来。 骨头船长放声大笑。 接着他转向另外两个海盗。

Find out what's in their house, you dogs," he said. "'Aye, aye, Captain,' they answered, and they started up the ladder to the treehouse. "'What do you spy, Pinky?' shouted Captain Bones. "'Books, Captain,' Pinky shouted down. "'Ahh, books,' growled Captain Bones. He spit on the sand. "'I want gold, you dogs.'" "'Dogs are nicer than you,' said Annie. "'Shh,' said Jack. "'What about you, Stinky?' Captain Bones roared. "'Just books, Captain,' shouted Stinky. "'Ahh, books,' said Captain Bones. He spit on the sand again. "'I hate books. Keep looking, dogs. Find me something good.' Captain Bones grabbed Jack's backpack.

去看看他们的窝里有什么，你们这些狗东西。他说。 是，是，船长。他们应着，就顺着梯子往树屋爬。 你找到什么了，平基？骨头船长大喊。 是书，船长。平基往下喊道。 啊，书。骨头船长低吼道。 他往沙子上吐了口唾沫。 我要的是金子，你们这帮废物。 狗都比你好。安妮说。 嘘。杰克说。 你呢，斯丁奇？骨头船长吼道。 只有书，船长。斯丁奇大喊。 啊，又是书。骨头船长说。 他又往沙子上吐了口唾沫。 我最讨厌书了。 继续找，你们这帮废物。 给我找点值钱的好东西。 骨头船长一把抓过杰克的背包。

What's in here? he said. Jack quickly opened the pack. Just paper, a pencil, a book. Another book! roared Captain Bones. That's vile booty! A gleeful shriek pierced the air. Captain Bones froze. What's that? he shouted. Look, Captain, look! Pinky leaned out the treehouse window. He held the medallion. It glimmered in the sunlight. Oh, brother, thought Jack. Throw it down! cried Captain Bones. It's not yours! shouted Annie. Captain Bones dropped Jack and Annie. He caught the medallion as it fell. Gold! Gold! Gold! he cried. Captain Bones

这里面装的是什么？他说。 杰克赶紧打开背包。 只有纸、一支铅笔，还有一本书。 又是书！骨头船长怒吼道。 这破玩意儿也配叫战利品！ 一声兴奋的尖叫划破了天空。 骨头船长一下子僵住了。 那是什么？他大喊道。 快看，船长，快看！ 平基从树屋的窗户探出身来。 他手里举着那枚徽章。 徽章在阳光下闪着光。 哎哟，糟了。杰克心里想。 把它扔下来！骨头船长大喊。 那不是你的！安妮大喊。 骨头船长松开了杰克和安妮。 他接住了掉下来的徽章。 金子！是金子！金子啊！他大叫道。 骨头船长

threw back his head and laughed horribly. He grabbed two of his pistols. He shot them into the air. Pinky and Stinky howled like wolves.

仰着头发出恐怖的大笑。 他抓起自己的两把手枪。 对着空中开了两枪。 平基和斯丁奇像狼一样嚎了起来。
