03 E-hy!

Chapter 3. E .I. Jack opened his eyes. Annie was already looking out the window. The mouse peeked out of her pouch. Jack looked out the window, too. The air was fresh and cool. The treehouse was in a tree with white flowers. The tree was in a grove of trees on the side of a mountain. Nearby a wild stream rushed downhill. Two ninjas were standing on rocks near the water. They were staring at the valley below.

第三章 E.I 杰克睁开了眼睛。安妮已经正望着窗外。小老鼠从她的口袋里探出头来。 杰克也望向窗外。空气清新又凉爽。树屋停在一棵开满白花的树上。 这棵树长在山边的一片小树林里。 附近一条湍急的山溪顺着山坡往下流。 两个忍者站在水边的岩石上。他们正盯着下方的山谷看。

One ninja was tall, the other was short. They wore black pants and shirts, they had black scarves around their heads, and swords strapped to their backs. It was exactly like the picture in the book. Jack crouched below the window. Be careful, he whispered, to let them see you. Why not? Annie whispered back. They might think we're some kind of enemy, said Jack quietly. Annie crouched beside him. Jack pushed his glasses into place. Now he was going to look at the ninja book. He picked up the book, he turned to the beginning. He read, Very little is known about the shadowy warriors called ninjas. Historians believe that ninjas are the most powerful.

一个忍者个子很高，另一个很矮。他们穿着黑裤子黑上衣，头上缠着黑色头巾，背上还佩着剑。 这和书里的图片一模一样。 杰克蹲在了窗户下面。 “小心点，”他小声说，“别让他们看见你。” 为什么不行呀？ 安妮小声反问。 “他们可能会把我们当成敌人的。”杰克轻声说。 安妮蹲到了他身边。杰克推了推滑到鼻尖的眼镜。 现在他要看看那本关于忍者的书。 他拿起书，翻到开头的地方，读了起来： 人们对名叫“忍者”的暗影战士知之甚少。 历史学家认为，忍者是最厉害的战士。

lived in Japan between the 14th and 17th centuries. Both men and women were ninjas. Sometimes they fought to protect their families. Sometimes warlords hired them to be spies. Wow! whispered Jack. We're in Japan hundreds of years ago. Jack opened his backpack. He pulled out his notebook and pencil. He liked to take notes. He wrote, ninjas were warriors in old Japan. Jack whispered Annie. They're looking up. I think they know we're here. Jack peeked over the windowsill. His eyes met the dark eyes of the tall

他们生活在14到17世纪的日本，男人女人都可以当忍者。 有时候他们为了保护家人而战，有时候军阀会雇他们当间谍。 “哇！”杰克小声惊呼，“我们现在在几百年前的日本！”杰克打开背包，掏 出了他的笔记本和铅笔。他喜欢记笔记，他写道： 忍者是古代日本的战士。“杰克！”安妮小声喊他，“他们往上看了！” “我觉得他们知道我们在这儿了。”杰克从窗沿边偷偷往外看，刚好对上了高个子忍者

Hi! the ninja cried. He dashed toward the tree. The other ninja followed. Oh no! said Annie. We've got to go! Jack said. Where's the Pennsylvania book? He and Annie looked around wildly. But where was the book about Pennsylvania? It had the picture of the Frog Creek woods in it. Jack and Annie couldn't get home without it. It's He and Annie grabbed the top of the rope ladder. They pulled the ladder into the tree house. But the tall ninja leaped at the tree trunk. Then he started climbing up the tree.

“嗨！”那个忍者大喊一声，朝着这棵树冲了过来。另一个忍者也跟了上来。“哦糟了！”安妮叫道。 “我们得走了！”杰克喊道，“宾夕法尼亚的那本书在哪儿？”他和安妮慌慌张张地四处 张望。可是那本写着宾夕法尼亚的书在哪儿呢？里面还有青蛙溪树林的 照片。杰克和安妮没有它就回不了家。那本书 他和安妮抓住绳梯的顶端，把绳梯拉进了树屋里。 可那个高个子忍者纵身跳到树干上，接着就开始往树上爬。

The short ninja followed. They climbed just like cats. Jack and Annie huddled in a corner. The ninjas climbed into the treehouse. Neither one made a sound.

矮个子忍者跟在后面。他们爬树的动作就像猫一样灵活。 杰克和安妮缩在树屋的角落里。忍者们爬进了树屋。 两个人一点声音都没出。
