02 Any Girls Here?

Chapter 2. Any Girls Here? Jack opened his eyes. Warm sunshine streamed into the treehouse. We sure don't need a flashlight here, he said. Look, Morgan gave us clothes like the ones we wore in Pompeii, said Annie. Jack looked down. His clothes were similar to the ones he'd worn in the Roman town of Pompeii, a tunic and sandals. He also had a leather bag and

第二章 这里有女孩吗？杰克睁开眼睛。温暖的阳光涌进 树屋。“我们这儿肯定用不着手电筒啦。”他说。“你看，摩根给 我们的衣服和我们在庞贝穿的那套很像。”安妮说。杰克低头看。他的 衣服确实和他之前在罗马小城庞贝穿的差不多，是一件 束腰外衣和凉鞋。他还多了个皮袋，代替了

place of his backpack again. Annie looked out the window. And we landed in an olive tree, just like Pompeii, said Annie. Jack looked out the window. He caught his breath. Are we in the wrong place? He asked. I don't know, said Annie. Look past the trees. Doesn't it look like a big fair? Jack looked. Annie was right. Past the olive grove was a field filled with white tents. Beyond the field were red brick buildings with columns and huge crowds of people. What's going on? Jack asked. He pulled the research book out of his leather bag. He found a picture of the scene outside. Below the picture were these words.

他之前的双肩包。安妮朝窗外望去。 而且我们降落在一棵橄榄树上，和庞贝那次一模一样， 安妮说。杰克望向窗外，他瞬间屏住了呼吸。 我们是不是来错地方了？他问。“我不知道呀，” 安妮说，“看树林那边，看起来是不是像个超大的集市？” 杰克看了看。安妮说得没错。橄榄林的尽头是一片田野，到处都是白色的 帐篷。 田野那头是带立柱的红砖建筑，还有乌泱泱的一大群人。 这是怎么回事？杰克问。他从皮袋里掏出了那本研究手册。 他找到了一张印着窗外景象的图片，图片下方写着这些文字。

The Olympic Games began in ancient Greece over 2 ,500 years ago. Every four years, more than 40 ,000 people traveled to Olympia, the town where the Festival of Athletic Games took place. Oh, man, Jack whispered, we're at the ancient Olympics. Cool, said Annie. Jack wrote in his notebook, Olympia, first Olympics take place. Come on, let's go watch, Annie said. She started down the rope ladder. Jack threw his notebook and the research book into his leather bag. Don't forget, we have to get Morgan's

奥林匹克运动会起源于2500多年前的古希腊。 每四年，就有超过四万人前往奥林匹亚，这座举办体育竞技节的 小城。 我的天，杰克小声说，我们居然在古代奥运会现场。 太酷啦。安妮说。 杰克在笔记本上写：奥林匹亚，首届奥运会举办地。 走呀，我们去看看。安妮说。 她开始顺着绳梯往下爬。 杰克把笔记本和研究手册塞进了皮袋里。 别忘了，我们得找到摩根的

Story two, he said as he followed Annie. Annie waited as Jack stepped to the ground. Then they walked through the olive grove to where the tents were. Jack heard pipe music and smelled food roasting over fires. Groups of men talked excitedly to one another. That's funny, said Annie. I don't see any girls here. Oh, sure, there are girls, said Jack. Where, said Annie, show me. Jack looked around, but he only saw men and boys, no women or girls at all. Then he saw an outdoor theater. A woman was standing on the stage. She had yellow hair and a purple tunic. There, said Jack pointing. What's she doing, asked Annie.

第二个故事哦。他跟在安妮身后说道。 安妮等着杰克落到地面上。 接着他们穿过橄榄林，朝着帐篷所在的地方走去。 杰克听见了管乐声，还闻到了火上烤制食物的香气。 一群群男人凑在一起，兴奋地聊着天。 真奇怪呀。安妮说。 我在这儿一个女孩都没看到。 哦，肯定有的呀。杰克说。 在哪儿呢？安妮说，指给我看看呀。 杰克环顾四周，可他只看到了男人和男孩，根本没有女人或者女孩。 这时他看到了一个露天剧场。 舞台上站着一个女人。 她有着金色的头发，穿一件紫色的束腰外衣。 在那儿呢。杰克指着说道。 她在干嘛呀？安妮问。

A soldier was on stage with her. He wore a long cape, a helmet with a red crest hid his face. The woman and the soldier were waving their arms and talking loudly to each other.

台上还有个士兵和她在一起。他披着一件长斗篷，带红色羽饰的头盔遮住了他的脸。 那个女人和士兵正挥着胳膊，冲着对方大声说话。

I think they're doing a play, said Jack. I'll look. He pulled out the Greek book and found a picture of the theater. Listen, he said. He read aloud.

我觉得他们在演话剧呢。杰克说。 我来查查。 他掏出那本讲希腊的书，找到了一张这个剧场的图片。 你听哦。他说。 他大声念了起来。
