02 The Unsinkable Ship

Chapter 2 The Unsinkable Ship Arf! Arf! Jack opened his eyes. He shivered. Wherever they were now, it was cold. Very cold. Teddy barked again. Shhh! said Jack. Annie shined the flashlight on her clothes. Wow! We're dressed like old -fashioned kids! she said. Instead of pajamas and a poncho, she wore a sailor dress and a long wool cloak.

第二章 永不沉没的轮船 汪！汪！ 杰克睁开眼睛，打了个哆嗦。 不管他们现在在哪儿，这儿都很冷，冷极了。 泰迪又叫了起来。 嘘！杰克说。 安妮拿手电筒照了照自己的衣服。 哇！我们穿得像过去的小朋友！她说。 她没穿睡衣和雨披， 反而穿了一条水手裙，还有一件长长的羊毛斗篷。

Jack had on an overcoat and knee -length pants with long socks. His backpack had turned to leather. He also had on a shirt and tie. Where are we? he wondered aloud. Jack and Annie looked out the window. The moonless sky glittered with stars. There was a soft wind and the sound of water lapping. The treehouse seemed to be resting on a wooden deck between two giant columns. Jack looked up and saw smoke coming out of the columns. We must have landed on the ship between the smokestacks, he said. Then Jack looked straight ahead and saw a box high in the air near the front of the ship. That must be the lookout's nest, he said.

杰克穿了一件外套，及膝的裤子配着长袜子。 他的背包变成了皮制的。 他还穿了衬衫，打了领带。 我们这是在哪儿？他出声问道。 杰克和安妮往窗外看去。 没有月亮的夜空里，星星闪着光。 风吹得柔柔的，还能听到水流拍打的声音。 树屋好像停在两根巨大立柱之间的木甲板上。 杰克抬头一看，正有烟从立柱里冒出来。 我们肯定是落在船上烟囱之间的位置了，他说。 接着杰克往前看，看到船头附近的高处有个小亭子。 那肯定是瞭望台，他说。

Jack sat back in the treehouse and opened their book. Annie handed him the flashlight. Let's find out where we are, he said. He turned to a picture of a huge ocean liner. By the light of the flashlight, he read, Late at night, on April 14, 1912, an English ocean liner was making her first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. She was going to New York City. Carrying 2 ,200 passengers, the ship was four city blocks long. Most people believed the ship was unsinkable. Oh, man, we're in 1912, said Jack. He pulled out his notebook and wrote, April 14, 1912. This ship is huge, said Annie. How will we ever find a gift to help free Teddy?

杰克靠在树屋里，翻开了他们的书。 安妮把手电筒递给了他。 我们来看看现在在哪儿吧，他说。 他翻到印有一艘巨型远洋客轮的那页。 借着电筒的光，他读道： 1912年4月14日深夜， 一艘英国远洋客轮正进行它跨越大西洋的首次航行。 它的目的地是纽约市。 船上载着2200名乘客， 这艘船有四个城市街区那么长。 绝大多数人都认为这艘船永不沉没。 天呐，我们回到1912年了，杰克说。 他掏出自己的笔记本写道： 1912年4月14日。 这艘船好大呀，安妮说。 我们要怎么才能找到能解救泰迪的礼物呀？

You can't go looking for a gift said Jack. You have to wait until someone gives it to you Right said Annie with a sigh Well, I guess we just have to be ourselves like Morgan said and maybe we'll get lucky This is hard said Jack the little dog whined Don't worry Teddy said Annie will free you from your spell Just then a shout came from the lookout's nest iceberg ahead Jack and Annie turned back to the window just in time to see a huge iceberg looming out of the sea The iceberg was dark with a fringe of white at the top and it was right in front of the ship

你不能主动去找礼物，杰克说，你得等别人把礼物送给你才行。 好吧。安妮叹了口气说。 嗯，我猜我们只要像摩根说的做自己就好，说不定我们运气好呢。 这可太难了。杰克说，小狗呜呜叫了起来。 别担心，泰迪，安妮说，我会帮你解开咒语的。 就在这时，瞭望台传来一声大喊：前面有冰山！ 杰克和安妮赶紧转回头看向窗外，刚好看见一座巨大的冰山从海面冒了出来。 冰山颜色很深，顶部带着一圈白边，正好挡在船的正前方。

Jack felt a jolt. Then he heard a grinding sound. The ship was scraping against the mountain of ice. Erf, erf! Teddy barked. Shh! Don't be scared! said Annie. She picked the dog up and hugged him. The scraping sound stopped. The ship slid past the iceberg until they lost sight of it. The night was calm again. See? Annie said to Teddy. It was just a little bump. This ship is unsinkable. But Jack was worried. Wait, I have to read more about this, he said. Don't read now, Jack, said Annie. It's time to get the gift. Come on, Teddy. She picked up the little dog and the flashlight, and she climbed out the treehouse window.

杰克感到一阵震动，接着他听到了摩擦的声音，船正在冰山上刮过去。 呜汪！呜汪！泰迪叫了起来。 嘘！别害怕！安妮说，她把小狗抱起来搂在怀里。 摩擦声停了，船驶过了冰山，直到冰山看不见了。 夜晚又恢复了平静。 你看？安妮对泰迪说，只是小碰了一下而已，这艘船是不会沉的。 但是杰克很担心，等一下，我得再多看看相关的内容，他说。 现在别看书啦，杰克，安妮说，该去找礼物啦，走吧，泰迪。 她抱起小狗，拿上手电筒，爬出了树屋的窗户。
