02 Sleepyhead

Chapter 2, Sleepyhead Jack opened his eyes. Flaring hot sunlight flooded into the treehouse. Neat hats! said Annie. She and Jack were both wearing hats. I think they will protect us from the sun, said Jack. He and Annie looked out the window. Teddy looked out too. The treehouse had landed in a scrubby forest filled with droopy plants and dry brown trees.

第二章 小瞌睡虫 杰克睁开眼睛。炽热耀眼的阳光涌进了树屋。 "帽子好酷呀！"安妮说。她和杰克都戴着帽子。 "我觉得它们能帮我们挡太阳。"杰克说。他和安妮望向窗外。 泰迪也往外看。树屋降落在一片矮树丛里，到处都是蔫蔫的植物和干枯的棕褐色树木。

Man, this place needs rain, said Jack. He sat back on his heels and looked at the picture of where they had landed in the Australia book. He read, Australia's forests go through times of drought. A drought is a long period of time without any rain. The same forest can be flooded by heavy rains at other times of the year. Jack pulled out his notebook and wrote, drought equals no rain. Hey, Jack, said Annie, doesn't it smell like a cookout? Jack sniffed the air. It did smell like a cookout. Jack looked out the window. A wisp of -

"天呐，这地方太需要下雨了。"杰克说。 他蹲坐下来，看着澳大利亚那本书上标注他们降落地点的图片 书。 他读道："澳大利亚的森林会经历干旱时期。" 干旱就是很长一段时间都不下雨的情况。 一年里的其他时候，同一片森林也可能被大雨淹没。 杰克掏出他的笔记本，写下：干旱 = 不下雨。 "嘿，杰克，"安妮说，"你有没有闻到户外烧烤的味道？" 杰克嗅了嗅空气。 确实是户外烧烤的味道。 杰克看向窗外。 一缕——

Smoke floated above some trees in the distance. Maybe people are camping over there, Jack said. Let's go see, said Annie. Jack put his notebook and the Australia book into his backpack.

远处的几棵树上方飘着烟。 "说不定有人在那边露营呢。"杰克说。 "我们去看看吧。"安妮说。 杰克把他的笔记本和那本澳大利亚的书放进了背包里。

Put Teddy in there too said Annie Jack slipped the little dog into the pack then he followed Annie down the ladder When they stepped onto the ground the hot wind nearly blew their hats off The campers must be over there said Annie

"把泰迪也放进去吧。"安妮说。 杰克把小狗塞进背包，然后跟着安妮爬下了梯子。 他们刚踩到地面，热风就差点把他们的帽子吹飞了。 "露营的人肯定在那边。"安妮说。

She pointed at the smoke in the blue sky. They started walking across a sun -baked clearing. They passed bushes and scrawny trees. Lizards ran over the dry, cracked ground. Arf, arf! Teddy barked from Jack's pack. Whoa! said Jack. A pair of huge, funny -looking birds walked out from behind a bush. They were taller than Jack. They had fat bodies, long, skinny legs, and long, skinny necks. Who are you? Annie asked the strange pair. Jack opened his pack and took out the Australia book. He found a picture of the birds. They're emus, he said. He read aloud.

她指着蓝天里的那缕烟。 他们开始穿过一片被太阳烤得发烫的空地。 他们路过了灌木丛和瘦小的树木。 蜥蜴在干燥开裂的地面上跑过。 "汪！汪！"泰迪在杰克的背包里叫了起来。 "哇！"杰克喊道。 两只体型巨大、模样古怪的鸟从灌木丛后面走了出来。 它们比杰克还要高。 它们身体圆滚滚的，腿又长又细，脖子也又长又细。 "你们是谁呀？"安妮问这对奇怪的鸟儿。 杰克打开背包，拿出了那本澳大利亚的书。 他找到了这种鸟的图片。 "它们是鸸鹋。"他说，然后大声读了起来。

The emu is a large bird that doesn't fly. It can run as fast as 30 miles per hour. Wow, that's fast, said Annie. Erf, Teddy jumped out of Jack's backpack and barked at the strange birds. The emus gave the little dog a haughty look. Then they turned and walked proudly away. Jack wrote in his notebook, emus, proud birds, don't fly. Look, a live teddy bear. Said Annie. Jack looked up. Annie ran to a tree at the edge of the clearing.

鸸鹋是一种不会飞的大型鸟类。 它的奔跑速度可达每小时30英里。 "哇，跑得好快呀。"安妮说。 "嗷呜，"泰迪从杰克的背包里跳出来，对着这两只奇怪的鸟叫。 鸸鹋傲慢地瞥了这只小狗一眼。 然后它们转身，神气地走开了。 杰克在笔记本上写下：鸸鹋，骄傲的鸟，不会飞。 "快看，一只活的泰迪熊。" 安妮说。 杰克抬起头。 安妮朝着空地边缘的一棵树跑了过去。
