06 Hand to Hand

Chapter 6 Hand to Hand Jack and Annie climbed onto the rock ledge and stepped into the cave. The air inside was cleaner and cooler than the air outside. I can't see anything, said Jack. He patted the head of the baby kangaroo. Me neither, said Annie. Arf, arf! I guess we'll have to follow Teddy's bark, said Annie. Let's hold hands. She held out her free hand to Jack. Jack.

第六章 手拉手 杰克和安妮爬上岩架，走进了山洞里。 洞里的空气比外面的更清新，也更凉快。 “我什么都看不见。”杰克说。 他轻轻拍了拍小袋鼠的脑袋。 “我也看不见。”安妮说。 汪，汪！ “看来我们得跟着泰迪的叫声走啦。”安妮说。 我们牵着手吧。 她把空着的那只手伸向杰克。 杰克。

took it, then he put his other hand out and touched the wall. The Joey moved in his pack. Jack and Annie walked into the darkness. Erf! Teddy kept barking, leading them on. Erf! Erf! Erf! Erf! Suddenly Jack felt something thump against his leg. He stopped and gasped. What is it? said Annie.

杰克握住她的手，接着伸出另一只手摸向岩壁。小袋鼠在他的背包里动了动。 杰克和安妮朝着黑暗深处走去。 汪呜！ 泰迪不停叫着，在前面给他们带路。 汪呜！汪呜！汪呜！汪呜！ 突然杰克感觉有什么东西撞了他的腿一下，他停下脚步，倒抽了一口冷气。 “怎么了？”安妮问道。

Arf! It was Teddy. His tail was wagging and hitting Jack's leg. What is it, boy? Jack asked him. Teddy let out a howl. As he howled, an amazing thing happened. A white line began to glow in the air. The glowing line grew until it looked like a giant snake. Then glowing handprints appeared below the snake. Jack felt Annie squeeze his hand. I think it's painted on the wall, she said.

汪！是泰迪呀。他摇着尾巴，不停拍打着杰克的腿。 “怎么啦，小家伙？”杰克问他。 泰迪嗷呜叫了一声。他叫的时候，神奇的事情发生了：一道白色的线条开始发亮 出现在半空中。发亮的线条越来越长，最后看起来像一条巨蛇。接着，发光的手印 出现在了巨蛇的下方。 杰克感觉到安妮捏了捏他的手。“我觉得这是画在墙上的。”她说。

But what is it? whispered Jack. I don't know, said Annie. She let go of Jack and put her hand inside one of the painted handprints. Jack did the same. Despite the glowing painting, the rock felt smooth and cool. It almost seemed to breathe. A ghost -like whistling sound came through the darkness, then a loud boom. What's that? Jack quickly took his hand off the wall. The boom came again. It sounded like thunder, said Annie. Arf, arf! Teddy's leaving, said Annie. She grabbed Jack's hand. They turned back the way they had come and followed Teddy's barking again.

“可这是什么呀？”杰克小声问。“我不知道呀。”安妮说。她松开杰克的手，把自己的 手放进了其中一个画好的手印里。杰克也跟着做了。尽管这幅画发着光， 岩石摸起来还是光滑又冰凉的。它好像还在呼吸似的。一阵像幽灵一样的呼啸声穿过 黑暗传了过来，接着是一声巨响。“那是什么？”杰克赶紧把手从岩壁上挪开。 巨响又传来了。“听起来像打雷。”安妮说。“汪，汪！泰迪要走啦。”安妮说。 她一把抓住杰克的手。两人转身顺着来时的路走，再次跟着泰迪的叫声往前。

They followed the little dog until they saw a flash of light. Lightning, said Annie. Lightning and thunder, we're at the front of the cave, yay. Annie pulled Jack toward the mouth of the cave and out into a pouring rain.

他们跟着小狗一直走，直到看见一道亮光闪过。 “是闪电。”安妮说。 有闪电还有打雷，我们到洞口啦，耶！ 安妮拉着杰克朝洞口走，走出山洞，外面正下着瓢泼大雨。
