06 The Whale's Eye

Chapter 6 The Whale's Eye The rowboat tossed from side to side. The waves were huge. Salty spray stung Jack's eyes. He felt seasick. Hold her steady! shouted Captain Bones. He pointed at the sea. Our whale be mate for those evil brutes! Dark fins cut through the water. Sharks! One zoomed right by the boat. Jack could have reached out and touched it. He shuddered. Soon the rowboat pulled alongside the ship.

第六章 鲸鱼的眼睛 小划艇晃来晃去来回颠簸。 浪头大得吓人。 咸咸的浪花打得杰克眼睛疼。 他觉得晕船难受。 把船稳住！ 骨头船长大声吼道。 他伸手指着海面。 咱们的鲸鱼要成那些坏家伙的美餐啦！ 深色的鱼鳍划开海面。 是鲨鱼！ 有一头鲨鱼嗖地一下擦着船边游过。 杰克伸手就能碰到它。 他打了个寒颤。 没一会儿，小划艇就靠到了大船旁边。

The air was filled with wild fiddle music and bagpipes playing, and Jack heard jeers, shouts, and ugly laughter. Hoist them aboard! Captain Bone shouted to his men. Annie and Jack were hauled onto the deck. The ship creaked and moaned. It rolled.

空气里满是乱糟糟的小提琴和风笛声，杰克还听到了嘲笑声、 叫喊声，还有难听的哄笑声。 把他们拖到船上来！ 骨头船长冲他的手下大喊。 安妮和杰克被拽到了甲板上。 大船嘎吱嘎吱响，像是在呻吟。 船身晃来晃去。

From side to side, ropes flapped and snapped in the wild wind. Everywhere they looked, Jack and Annie saw pirates. Some were dancing, some were drinking, many were fighting, with swords or with their fists.

狂风里，缆绳晃来晃去，噼啪作响。 杰克和安妮放眼望去，到处都是海盗。 有的在跳舞，有的在喝酒，还有好多人在打架，要么挥剑要么挥拳头。

Lock them in my cabin, Captain Bones ordered. A couple of pirates grabbed Jack and Annie and threw them in the ship's cabin, then locked the door. The air inside the cabin was damp and sour smelling. A shaft of gray light came through a small round window. Oh, man, said Jack, we've got to figure out how to get back to the island. So we can get into the treehouse and go home, said Annie. Right. Jack suddenly felt tired. How would they ever get out of this mess? We better examine the book, he said. He reached into his pack and pulled out the pirate book. He flipped through the pages.

把他们锁到我的船舱里去。骨头船长下令道。 几个海盗抓住杰克和安妮，把他们扔进船舱，然后锁上了 舱门。 船舱里的空气潮乎乎的，还有股酸臭味。 一道灰蒙蒙的光从小圆窗透进来。 天呐，杰克说，我们得想办法回到岛上去。 这样我们就能进树屋回家啦。安妮说。 没错。 杰克突然觉得好累。 他们要怎么才能摆脱这堆麻烦啊？ 我们最好看看那本书。他说。 他把手伸进背包，掏出那本讲海盗的书。 他哗啦哗啦翻着书页。

He looked for information to help them. Look, he said. He found a picture of pirates burying a treasure chest. This might help. Together they read the words under the picture. Captain Kidd was a famous pirate. It is said that he buried a treasure chest on a deserted island. The chest was filled with gold and jewels. Captain Kidd, said Jack. So that's the kid that Bones keeps talking about, said Annie. Right, said Jack. Annie looked out the round window. And Captain Kidd's treasure is buried somewhere on the island, she said.

他想找点能帮到他们的信息。 快看，他说。他找到一张海盗的图片 正在埋宝箱。这说不定有用。 他们一起读图片下面的文字。 基德船长是个有名的海盗。据说他把一个宝箱 埋在了一座荒岛上。箱子里装满了黄金和珠宝。 基德船长。杰克说。 原来骨头船长一直说的就是这个基德呀。安妮说。 对呀。杰克说。安妮望着小圆窗外。 那基德船长的宝藏就埋在岛上的某个地方哦。她说。

Jack took out his notebook and pencil. He wrote, Captain Kids Treasure on Island. Jack, Annie said, shh, wait a minute, he said, I'm thinking. Guess what I see, said Annie. What? Jack asked. He looked back at the book. A whale. Neat, he said. Then he looked up. A whale? Did you say a whale? A whale. A huge whale. As big as a football field. Jack jumped up and looked out the window with her.

杰克掏出他的笔记本和铅笔。他写道， 基德船长的宝藏在岛上。 杰克，安妮说，嘘，等一下，他说，我正在想呢。 猜我看到什么了。安妮说。 什么？杰克问。 他回头继续看书。 一头鲸鱼。 真棒。他说。说完他抬起了头。 鲸鱼？你刚才说你看到鲸鱼了？ 是鲸鱼。一头超大的鲸鱼。跟足球场一样大。 杰克跳起来，和她一起往窗外看。
