07 Go! Go! Go!

Chapter 7. Go, go, go. Jack stared in horror at Annie. She must have borrowed a costume from the theater. He remembered Plato's words, a girl will get in terrible trouble if she tries to attend the Olympic Games. Jack shook his head at her and pointed his finger as if to say, get out of here. But Jack kept shaking his head at Annie. He even shook his fist.

第七章 冲呀，冲呀，冲呀。 杰克惊恐地盯着安妮。她肯定是从剧院借了套演出服。他想起 柏拉图说过的话：女孩子要是敢来参加奥林匹克 运动会，会倒大霉的。 杰克冲她摇摇头，伸手指着她，好像在说“快离开这儿”。可 杰克还是对着安妮摇头，甚至挥起了拳头。

Annie turned back to watch the race. It's not a joke! Jack shouted. Plato turned and looked at him. Of course not, said Plato. We take the games very seriously. Jack felt his face grow hot. He glared at Annie's back. Just then the trumpet sounded. The chariots are taking their places, said Plato. Jack saw the dozens of chariots lined up on the racetrack. Each chariot was pulled by four horses. Jack glanced back at Annie. She was looking up at him, pointing at the chariots. The trumpet sounded again. The horses took off. The crowd went wild. They were cheering.

安妮转过身去看比赛。 “这不是开玩笑！”杰克大喊。 柏拉图转过头看着他。 “当然不是，”柏拉图说，“我们对这场赛事非常重视。” 杰克感觉脸发烫，气呼呼地瞪着安妮的后背。 就在这时，号角吹响了。 “战车都在各就各位啦。”柏拉图说。 杰克看见几十辆战车在赛道上排成一列。 每辆战车都由四匹马拉着。 杰克回头瞥了一眼安妮。 她正抬着头看他，手指着那些战车。 号角再次吹响。 马儿们撒腿跑了出去。 人群彻底沸腾了。 大家都在欢呼喝彩。

and screaming and stamping their feet. Clouds of dust rose up as the chariots raced around the track. Annie turned back to watch the race. She began jumping up and down. Go, go, go! She shouted. A few people began staring at the strange small soldier with a high -pitched voice. Jack couldn't take it anymore. He had to get Annie away before it was too late. He shoved his notebook into his pack. I have to go! He shouted to Plato. The philosopher looked surprised. Jack was afraid to tell him that Annie had broken the rules. I had a great time, but I have to go home now, said Jack. Thanks for everything. Have a safe journey, said Plato.

还尖叫着、跺着脚。战车绕着赛道飞驰，扬起了阵阵尘土。 安妮转过身看比赛，开始蹦蹦跳跳的。 “冲呀！冲呀！冲呀！”她大喊。有几个人开始盯着这个声音尖尖的、奇怪的小个子士兵看。 杰克再也受不了了，他得趁还没出事赶紧把安妮带走。他把 笔记本塞进背包里。“我得走了！”他冲柏拉图大喊。这位哲学家看起来很惊讶。 杰克不敢告诉他安妮违反了规则。 “我玩得很开心，但我现在得回家了，”杰克说，“谢谢您为我做的一切。” “一路平安。”柏拉图说。

哦？

Jack waved and started down the steps. As he climbed down, he saw Annie pull off her helmet. Her pigtails flew up and down as she jumped and shouted, Go, go, go! Her soldier's cape fell off. Now lots of people were staring at her. Someone shouted for the guards. Annie was too busy cheering to notice anything. Jack moved as quickly as he could, but two big guards got to Annie first.

杰克挥了挥手，开始走下台阶。 他往下走的时候，看见安妮摘下了头盔。 她又跳又喊的时候，两根小辫子甩来甩去的， “冲呀！冲呀！冲呀！” 她身上穿的士兵披风也掉了下来。 这会儿好多人都盯着她看。 有人大喊着叫守卫过来。 安妮光顾着欢呼了，什么都没察觉到。 杰克拼尽全力往她那边赶， 可两个高大的守卫先走到了安妮面前。
