10 A Touch of Magic

Chapter 10, A Touch of Magic. Oh, man, whispered Jack. He was lying on the floor of the treehouse. He was wearing his pajamas and rain poncho again. You okay? Annie asked. Yeah, you? said Jack. My heart's beating really fast, said Annie. Mine too, said Jack. He thought of the Titanic sinking into the -

第十章 一点魔法 “天啊。”杰克小声说。 他正躺在树屋的地板上。 他又穿上了自己的睡衣和雨披。 “你没事吧？”安妮问。 “我没事，你呢？”杰克说。 “我的心跳得好快。”安妮说。 “我也是。”杰克说。 他想起了泰坦尼克号沉入——

The cold, black sea. His eyes filled with tears. It was terrible, he said. Annie nodded. Jack could see tears on her cheeks. Teddy licked Jack's face. Hey, said Jack, how did you get out of my knapsack? Teddy whined. Jack and Annie stroked his furry head in ears. I think he has a touch of magic, said Annie. Slowly Jack sat up. He saved our lives, he said. And now we have the first gift to break the spell he's under, said Annie. She turned on her flashlight. She shined it on the silver pocket watch that hung from her neck.

冰冷漆黑的大海。 他的眼睛里盛满了泪水。 “太可怕了。”他说。 安妮点了点头。 杰克能看到她脸颊上挂着泪珠。 泰迪舔了舔杰克的脸。 “嘿，”杰克说，“你是怎么从我背包里跑出来的？” 泰迪呜呜叫了几声。 杰克和安妮摸了摸它毛茸茸的脑袋和耳朵。 “我觉得它有一点魔力。”安妮说。 杰克慢慢坐了起来。 “它救了我们的命。”他说。 “而且现在我们拿到了解除它身上诅咒的第一件礼物，” 安妮说。 她打开了手电筒。 她把手电筒光照向挂在自己脖子上的银色怀表。

Lucy's gift she said the watch had stopped the hands were at 220 Jack was silent then he sighed That's exactly when the ship went down. He said Annie looked at him. I guess that's when time stopped for the Titanic. She said Jack nodded Annie put the pocket watch on top of Morgan's note a gift from a ship lost at sea she said softly They were both quiet Then Jack took off his glasses and wiped the tears from his eyes Annie stood up. She took a deep breath

“这是露西的礼物。”她说，怀表停了，指针指向2点20分。 杰克沉默了一会儿，然后叹了口气。 “那正是沉船的时间。”他说。 安妮看着他。“我想对泰坦尼克号来说，时间就停在了那一刻。”她说。 杰克点了点头，安妮把怀表放在摩根的便签上，一份 来自失事海船的礼物。”她轻声说。 两个人都安静了下来。 然后杰克摘下眼镜，擦掉了眼里的泪水。 安妮站了起来，她深吸了一口气。

I'm ready to go she said let's put Teddy in your pack and take him home with us She shined her flashlight around the tree house

“我准备好走了。”她说，“我们把泰迪放进你的背包，带它一起回家吧。” 她用手电筒照了照树屋的四周。

Teddy, she said. There was no sign of the little dog. He's not here, said Annie. What are you talking about, said Jack? We were just petting him. He's up to his magic tricks again, said Annie. She sighed. We'll have to go home without him. But what happened to him, said Jack? I don't know, said Annie. But I have a feeling we'll see him again soon. She started down the rope ladder. Jack looked around the treehouse one last time. Teddy, he said. But the treehouse was quiet. Jack pulled on his backpack and climbed down the rope ladder. Annie was waiting for him.

“泰迪。”她喊。但是完全看不到小狗的影子。 “它不在这儿。”安妮说。 “你在说什么呀？”杰克说，“我们刚刚还在摸它呢。” “它又在耍它的魔法小把戏了。”安妮说。 她叹了口气。“我们只能不带它回家了。” “但是它怎么了呀？”杰克说。 “我不知道。”安妮说，“但我感觉我们很快就会再见到它的。” 她开始顺着绳梯往下爬。杰克最后扫了一圈树屋。 “泰迪。”他喊。但是树屋里静悄悄的。 杰克背上背包，顺着绳梯爬了下去。 安妮正在下面等他。

Without a word, Jack took her hand. The rain had stopped, but water still dripped from the trees. Stars glittered overhead in a clear sky. Silently, Jack and Annie left the Frog Creek woods. They walked up the dark street to their house and climbed the steps to their porch. Before they went inside, they looked out again at the night. Time might have stopped for the Titanic, Jack said. But books and memories keep the Titanic alive, don't they? It's a true story, but it's also like a myth now. Yeah, said Annie. And every time the story's told, we wish it had a different ending. Jack nodded. That was exactly how he felt.

杰克一言不发地牵住了她的手。 雨已经停了，但树上还在往下滴水。 晴朗的夜空中，星星在头顶闪闪发亮。 杰克和安妮静悄悄地离开了青蛙溪树林。 他们沿着漆黑的街道走到家，爬上台阶来到门廊。 进屋之前，他们又望了一眼外面的夜色。 “对泰坦尼克号来说，时间或许已经停止了。”杰克说。 但是书籍和记忆会让泰坦尼克号永远被人记得，对不对？ 它是个真实的故事，但现在也像一个传说了。 “对呀。”安妮说。 而且每次听到这个故事，我们都希望它有个不一样的结局。 杰克点了点头，他心里正是这么想的。
