06 Song on the Wind

Chapter 6. Song on the Wind. Peanuts tracks! said Annie. We have to find her before she freezes! She wrapped her reindeer coat around her and headed across the snow. Jack pulled on his backpack and followed. The mouse's tracks led them between the fallen rocks and back onto the open plain. The wind blew harder. Snow swirled over the ground covering the tiny footprints. I can't see them anymore! wailed Annie.

第六章 风中之歌 “是皮纳特的脚印！”安妮说道。 我们得赶在她冻僵之前找到她！ 她裹紧身上的驯鹿外套，朝着雪地走去。 杰克背上背包，跟了上去。 小老鼠的脚印带着他们穿过散落的落石，回到了开阔的平原上。 风刮得更猛了。 雪在地上打着旋，盖住了小小的脚印。 “我看不到脚印了！”安妮哭喊道。

She and Jack now stood in the middle of the plane. They stared at the windswept snow. The mouse's tracks had vanished. Yikes! whispered Annie staring up. Jack followed her gaze on one of the cliffs was a tiger. A giant tiger with two long sharp fangs. A saber tooth, said Jack. I hope he doesn't see us whispered Annie. Me too. Jack whispered back. We better head back to the tree house. Jack and Annie stepped very softly across the snow. Then Jack glanced back at the cliff. The saber tooth was gone. Oh man, he said. Where is he? Run to the trees said Annie.

她和杰克此刻站在平原中央，盯着被风吹得乱飞的雪，小老鼠的脚印已经消失不见了。 呀！ 安妮抬头望着，小声说道。 杰克顺着她的目光看去，其中一处悬崖上站着一只老虎。 那是只巨虎，长着两根又长又锋利的尖牙。 是剑齿虎， 杰克说。 “希望他没看到我们。”安妮小声说。 “我也是，”杰克低声回应，“我们最好回树屋去。” 杰克和安妮踮着脚轻轻走过雪地，这时杰克回头瞥了一眼悬崖。 剑齿虎不见了。 “天呐，”他说，“他去哪了？”“快往树林跑！”安妮喊道。

He and Annie started running. They ran over the snowy plain, heading toward the tall bare trees in the distance. Suddenly Jack heard a crack. The ground caved in and Jack went with it. Annie fell beside him. They crashed down onto a heap of branches, snow and earth. They struggled to stand. Jack pushed his glasses into place. You alright? He asked Annie. Yes, she said. They both looked up. They were in a deep hole. All Jack could see were grey clouds moving overhead. This is a trap! Jack said.

他和安妮拔腿就跑，穿过积雪的平原，朝着远处那些光秃秃的高树跑去。 突然杰克听到咔嚓一声，地面塌了下去，杰克跟着掉了进去。 安妮也摔在他身边，他们砸在一堆树枝、积雪和泥土上。 他们挣扎着站起来，杰克把滑下来的眼镜推回原位。 “你没事吧？”他问安妮。“我没事。”她回答。 他俩抬头望去，他们正待在一个深坑里，杰克只能看到灰色的云在头顶飘着。 “这是个陷阱！”杰克喊道。

The Magnons must have put branches over this hole, then the snow hid the branches so we didn't see them." There's no way out," said Annie. She was right. They were helpless. The pit was too deep to climb out of. I feel like a trapped animal," Annie said. Me too," said Jack. He heard a yowl in the distance. The saber -tooth," whispered Annie. Jack pulled out the Ice Age book. He found a picture of the saber -tooth. He read, The saber -tooth was the fiercest beast of the Ice Age. It attacked humans as well as woolly mammoths and other large animals.

肯定是马格农人在坑上面盖了树枝，然后雪把树枝盖住了，我们才没看见。 “我们出不去了。”安妮说。 她说得没错。 他们现在无计可施。 这个坑太深了，根本爬不上去。 “我感觉自己像只被困住的小动物。”安妮说。 “我也是。”杰克说。 他听到远处传来一声嚎叫。 “是剑齿虎。”安妮小声说。 杰克掏出那本冰河时代的书。 他找到了一张剑齿虎的图片。 他读道： 剑齿虎是冰河时代最凶猛的野兽。 它会袭击人类，还有猛犸象和其他大型动物。

Oh, brother, said Jack. Listen! Annie grabbed him. What? Jack jumped. I hear music! Jack listened, but all he heard was the wind. You hear it? said Annie. No, said Jack. Listen carefully! He closed his eyes. He listened very carefully. He heard the wind. But this time, he heard another sound, too. Strange, haunting music. Ah! cried Annie. Jack opened his eyes. Staring down at them was a figure wearing reindeer antlers and an owl mask.

哦，天呐。杰克说。 你听！ 安妮一把抓住他。 怎么了？ 杰克吓了一跳。 我听到音乐声了！ 杰克仔细听，可他只听到了风声。 你听到了吗？ 安妮问道。 没听到。杰克说。 认真听！ 他闭上了眼睛。 他认认真真地听着。 他听到了风声。 可这一次，他还听到了另一种声音。 奇怪的、让人难忘的音乐声。 啊！ 安妮叫了起来。 杰克睁开了眼睛。 一个戴着驯鹿鹿角和猫头鹰面具的身影正低头看着他们。

The sorcerer whispered Jack. Squeak! Peanut peered down at them too.

是那个巫师。杰克小声说。 吱呀！ 皮纳特也正低头看着他们呢。
