05 Sunlight and Midnight

CHAPTER 5 SUNLIGHT AND MIDNIGHT The wolf had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. Teddy snarled and barked. Annie rushed forward to grab the little dog. Suddenly the wolf stood up on its hind legs. Yikes! said Annie. She leaped back. Then she and Jack started to laugh. The fierce wolf was Blackhawk wearing a wolf's hide. His head came out through a slit.

第五章 阳光与午夜 那匹狼长着黄眼睛和尖牙齿。 泰迪狂吠了起来。 安妮冲上前要抓住这只小狗。 突然那匹狼用后腿站了起来。 “呀！”安妮叫道。 她猛地往后跳。 接着她和杰克都笑了起来。 这只凶巴巴的狼原来是披着狼皮的黑鹰。 他的头从狼皮的开口处钻了出来。

Near the wolf's neck, he gave Jack and Annie a little smile. That's a great wolf suit, said Annie. Why do you wear that, asked Jack. The wolf is the most powerful hunter of the buffalo, said Black Hawk. When I wear his skin, I feel his strength. Wow, said Annie. Black Hawk looked at his grandmother. May I show them the buffalo now? He said. Only show, said grandmother. Do not hunt, we have enough meat today. She looked back at Jack and Annie. Lakota never take more buffalo than we need. She said, that's good, said Annie. Black Hawk handed his wolf skin to

狼皮领口处的他朝杰克和安妮微微一笑。 “这套狼服好棒呀。”安妮说。 “你为什么要穿这个呀？”杰克问。 “狼是最厉害的野牛猎手。”黑鹰说。 我披上它的皮，就能感受到它的力量。 “哇。”安妮感叹道。 黑鹰看向他的祖母。 “我现在可以带他们去看野牛了吗？” 他问道。 “只许看哦。”祖母说。 不要捕猎，我们今天的肉已经够吃了。 她回头看向杰克和安妮。 “拉科塔人从来不会捕猎超出我们需求的野牛。” 她说道。“真好呀。”安妮说。 黑鹰把他的狼皮递给

Grandmother then he ran to the grazing ponies. He climbed on his then he herded two ponies one black and one yellow Over to Jack and Annie. I midnight high sunlight said Annie naming the ponies. She patted their noses Annie whispered Jack. How are we going to ride without saddles or reins? Just hold on to their mains. She said and grip with your legs watch Annie threw her arms around midnight's neck She slung her leg over the pony's back and pulled herself up I'll carry Teddy in the bag Annie said Jack picked up Teddy and slipped him inside the leather bag. He handed it to Annie who hung it over her shoulder Teddy's head

祖母，接着就朝正在吃草的小马群跑去。他翻上自己的马，赶着两匹小马过来，一匹黑一匹黄 走到杰克和安妮面前。“我要叫它午夜，叫它阳光。”安妮边给小马起名边拍了拍它们的鼻子 “安妮，”杰克小声说，“我们没有马鞍也没有缰绳，要怎么骑马呀？” “只要抓住它们的鬃毛就行。”她说，“用腿夹紧马腹，看着吧” 安妮伸手环住午夜的脖子 她抬起腿跨上马背，一用力就坐了上去 “我把泰迪放在袋子里带着。”安妮说 杰克抱起泰迪，把它塞进皮袋里。他把袋子递给安妮，安妮把袋子挂在了自己肩上 泰迪的脑袋

peeked out of the bag. Erf, he barked. Giddy up midnight, said Annie. The pony started to walk away. Wait, said Jack. He turned to Blackhawk. He had just a few questions. Blackhawk let out a wild whoop and took off too. Jack took a deep breath. He threw his arms around Sunlight's neck. Then he slung his leg over the pony's back. The pony started to move. Wait, wait, said Jack. He hopped on one foot trying to keep up. The pony stopped. Slowly, Jack pulled himself onto Sunlight's back. He gripped the pony's mane. Then he

从袋子里探了出来。 “呜汪。”它叫了一声。 “驾，午夜。”安妮说。 小马开始往前走去。 “等等。”杰克说。 他转头看向黑鹰。 他还有几个问题要问。 黑鹰大叫了一声，也策马跑了出去。 杰克深吸了一口气。 他伸手环住阳光的脖子。 接着他抬起腿跨到马背上。 小马开始往前动了。 “等等，等一下。”杰克叫道。 他单脚跳着想要跟上小马的步伐。 小马停了下来。 杰克慢慢爬上了阳光的背。 他紧紧抓住小马的鬃毛。 接着他

Carefully reached up and pushed his glasses into place. He looked over his shoulder. Grandmother was watching. She nodded at him. Lakota people admire those who do not show fear, Jack remembered. He liked Grandmother. He wanted her to admire him. He let out a wild whoop and sunlight took off like the wind. The whoop made Jack feel braver. He held tightly to sunlight's mane. They caught up with Blackhawk and Annie, and together they all rode through the tall grass. Shadows of clouds swept over the plains. They looked like giant dark birds spreading their wings. Blackhawk's pony stopped at the top of

小心翼翼地抬手把眼镜推回原位。 他回头望了一眼。 祖母正看着他。 她朝他点了点头。 杰克想起，拉科塔人敬佩不显露恐惧的人。 他很喜欢祖母。 他希望能得到她的赞赏。 他大叫了一声，阳光就像风一样冲了出去。 这声大叫让杰克觉得自己更勇敢了。 他紧紧抓着阳光的鬃毛。 他们追上了黑鹰和安妮，几个人一起骑马穿过 高高的草丛。 云的影子扫过平原。 它们看起来就像展开翅膀的巨大黑鸟。 黑鹰的马停在了

the grassy slope. Sunlight and midnight halted right behind him. Jack couldn't believe his eyes. Before them were thousands and thousands of grazing buffalo.

长满草的坡顶。 阳光和午夜紧跟在他身后停了下来。 杰克简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 他们面前有成千上万头正在吃草的野牛。
