09 What Boy?

Chapter 9, What Boy? Welcome back, came a soft, lovely voice. Jack opened his eyes. It was Morgan. They hadn't seen Morgan in a long time. Morgan, cried Annie. She threw her arms around the Enchantress. Jack jumped up and hugged Morgan too. It's good to see you both, said Morgan. Arf, arf.

第九章 哪个男孩？ “欢迎回来。”一个温柔悦耳的声音响起。 杰克睁开了眼睛。 是摩根。 他们已经很久没见过摩根了。 “摩根！”安妮大叫道。 她张开双臂抱住了这位女魔法师。 杰克也跳起来抱住了摩根。 “见到你们两个真好。”摩根说。 汪，汪。

And it's good to see you too, Morgan said, smiling at the little dog. Look, said Annie. She reached into Jack's pack and pulled out the piece of painted bark. A gift from a kangaroo. We have all four gifts now, said Jack. Good work, said Morgan. She picked up their first gift. It was the pocket watch from the Titanic. Once upon a time, there was a boy who wasted time, Morgan said. This watch teaches him that time is very precious. It must be used wisely. Morgan picked up their second gift, the eagle's feather from the Lakota Indians. Sometimes the boy was afraid to stand up for himself, she said. The eagle's feather teaches him that a small creature can be one of the bravest.

“我也很高兴见到你呀。”摩根笑着对小狗说。 “快看！”安妮说。 她把手伸进杰克的背包，掏出了那块画着图案的树皮。 这是一只袋鼠送的礼物。 “现在四份礼物我们都集齐啦。”杰克说。 “做得好。”摩根说。 她拿起了他们的第一份礼物。 是来自泰坦尼克号的怀表。 “从前，有个男孩总是浪费时间。”摩根说。 这块怀表教会他，时间非常珍贵。 必须要明智地使用时间。 摩根拿起他们的第二份礼物，是拉科塔印第安人送的鹰羽。 “有时候这个男孩不敢维护自己的立场。”她说。 这根鹰羽教会他，小小的生命也可以非常勇敢。

Morgan picked up the lotus flower from the forest in India. Sometimes the boy did not respect nature, she said. This flower teaches him that nature holds many wonders. Morgan picked up the piece of bark with the painting of the rainbow serpent. Sometimes the boy didn't want to study other times and places, she said. This painting teaches him there is mystery, magic, and wisdom in the traditions of ancient peoples. What boy? Jack asked. Who are you talking about? asked Annie. Morgan didn't answer right away. She placed her hands on Jack's and Annie's shoulders. Thank you, she said, for helping this painting.

摩根拿起了他们从印度森林里得到的莲花。 “有时候这个男孩不懂得尊重自然。”她说，“这朵花教会他，大自然蕴藏着许多奇迹。” 摩根拿起那块画着彩虹蛇的树皮。 “有时候这个男孩不愿去了解其他时代和地方的知识。”她说，“这幅画告诉他” 奥秘、魔法和智慧 就藏在古老民族的传统之中。 “哪个男孩？”杰克问道。“你在说谁呀？”安妮问。 摩根没有立刻回答。她把手放在杰克和安妮的肩膀上。 “谢谢你们。”她说，“谢谢你们帮这幅画完成了使命。”

Boy learn his lessons. Thank you for breaking the spell. What boy? Jack asked again. Arf, arf, arf. Jack and Annie looked over at Teddy. Then something magical happened. In a flutter of time, in the spin of a whirlwind, Teddy was changed. He was no longer a dog. He was a boy.

那个男孩学到了属于他的教训。 谢谢你们解开了咒语。 哪个男孩？ 杰克又问了一遍。 汪，汪，汪。 杰克和安妮转头看向泰迪。 接着神奇的事情发生了。 时间一晃，旋风打转，泰迪变了模样。 他不再是一只小狗了。 他变成了一个男孩。
