09 Time Stops

Chapter 9 Time Stops. Where is it? shouted Annie. The front of the Titanic sank deeper into the sea. Jack and Annie fell forward. They grabbed the railing and held on for their lives. Maybe the treehouse fell into the ocean? shouted Jack. A great roar started coming from the ship. Jack imagined everything crashing forward. All the furniture, dishes, bicycles.

第九章 时间静止了。“它在哪儿？”安妮大喊。泰坦尼克号的船头向下沉 往海里越沉越深。杰克和安妮向前栽去，连忙紧紧抓住栏杆 拼尽全力攥住不撒手。“会不会树屋掉进海里了？” 杰克大喊。船上传来一阵巨大的轰鸣声，杰克想象着 所有东西都往前砸去：家具、盘子、自行车，全都是。

the grand clock on the staircase. He looked down. A giant wave of water rolled over a lower deck. Jack imagined water flooding the third class corridor, the card room, and the grand staircase. He closed his eyes waiting to be washed away. Erf, erf. The barking came from a distance. Daddy, cried Annie. Jack had forgotten all about the little dog. Holding on to the railing, he used one hand to pull off his knapsack. Teddy wasn't there. There was more frantic barking. Where's Teddy? cried Jack. He's calling us, shouted Annie.

还有楼梯上那座华丽的大钟。 他低头往下看。 一股巨浪翻涌着漫过了下层甲板。 杰克想象着海水涌进三等舱的走廊， 涌进牌室，还有那座宏伟的楼梯。 他闭上眼，等着自己被海水冲走。 汪！汪！ 狗叫声从远处传了过来。 “爸爸！”安妮哭着喊。 杰克早就把那只小狗忘得一干二净了。 他紧紧抓着栏杆， 腾出一只手扯下自己的背包。 泰迪不在里面。 更焦急的狗叫声又传了过来。 “泰迪在哪儿？” 杰克大喊道。 “他在喊我们呢！”安妮大叫。

We can't look for him, shouted Jack. We'll fall off the ship. Teddy barked and barked. He's close by, said Annie. She held onto the railing and moved slowly down the steep deck. Annie, cried Jack. Suddenly the lights on the Titanic went out. The world was pitch dark. Jack couldn't see Annie at all. Annie, he shouted. He tried to move down the deck too, but the ship tilted again. Jack slipped and fell. He rolled until he crashed into a smokestack. Jack, cried Annie. Here, here. Teddy kept barking.

“我们不能去找他，”杰克大喊，“我们会从船上掉下去的。” 泰迪叫个不停。“他就在附近，” 安妮说。她抓着栏杆，顺着陡峭的甲板慢慢往下挪。 “安妮！”杰克大喊。突然，泰坦尼克号的灯全灭了。 周围一片漆黑，杰克完全看不见安妮在哪儿。 “安妮！”他大喊着，也试着往甲板下方挪， 可船又倾斜了。杰克脚一滑摔倒了，一直滚到撞上烟囱才停下来。 “杰克！”安妮大喊，“这儿，我在这儿！” 泰迪也一直在叫。

The back of the Titanic was rising out of the ocean. The front of the ship was going down. Jack tried to go around the smokestack without falling. In the dark he could barely see the treehouse. It was stuck between a smokestack and the railing. It was lying on its side. Annie and Teddy were looking out the window. Teddy's barking, let me hear! cried Annie. Hurry, Jack! Jack crawled around the smokestack. He held out his hand. Annie grabbed it. She pulled him into the treehouse. Teddy licked his face. I wish we could go home! shouted Annie, pointing at the Pennsylvania book.

泰坦尼克号的船尾正慢慢抬出海面。 船头则在不断往下沉。 杰克试着绕开烟囱，免得掉下去。 黑暗里他隐隐约约看到了树屋。 它卡在烟囱和栏杆中间。 侧歪着躺在那儿。 安妮和泰迪正从窗户往外看呢。 泰迪在叫呢，我听到啦！ 安妮大喊道。 快点，杰克！ 杰克爬着绕过了烟囱。 他伸出手。 安妮一把抓住他的手。 把他拉进了树屋。 泰迪舔了舔他的脸。 我希望我们能回家！ 安妮指着那本宾夕法尼亚的书大喊道。

Jack heard a loud crack. The wind started to blow. The treehouse started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still.

杰克听到一声巨响，风刮了起来，树屋开始旋转。 它转得越来越快，然后一切都静止了，完完全全静止了。
