Revolutionary War on Wednesday.

周三的独立战争

Chapter 1 Wednesday. Wake up, Jack! Annie whispered. Jack opened his eyes. He looked at his clock. It was six a .m. Come on! Annie whispered. She was standing at his bedroom door already dressed. Now? Said Jack. Yeah, it's Wednesday. We have to go to the tree house, she said. Oh man, Wednesday! Said Jack. Suddenly he was wide awake.

第一章 周三 醒醒，杰克！ 安妮小声说。 杰克睁开了眼睛。 他看了看闹钟。 现在是早上六点。 快起来呀！ 安妮小声催促道。 她站在他卧室门口，已经穿好衣服了。 现在就走？ 杰克问。 对呀，今天是周三。 我们得去树屋哦，她说。 天呐，周三！ 杰克说。 他一下子就彻底清醒了。

We have to help save Camelot said Annie. I know I know said Jack scrambling out of bed Meet you out front said Annie

“我们得去拯救卡米洛特呀。”安妮说。“我知道我知道。”杰克一边说一边忙不迭爬下床 “我在前门等你哦。”安妮说

Jack quickly changed into his jeans and t -shirt. He threw his notebook and pencil into his backpack. Then he slipped down the stairs and out the front door. Annie was waiting in the gray early light. All set? She whispered. Yep, said Jack.

杰克飞快换上牛仔裤和T恤，把笔记本和铅笔塞进了背包里。 接着他轻手轻脚走下楼梯，出了前门。 安妮正在灰蒙蒙的晨光里等着他。 “都准备好了吗？”她小声问。 “好了。”杰克回答。

They took off running across their yard. They ran down their quiet street and into the Frog Creek woods. Soon they came to the treehouse. They climbed up the rope ladder. In the early light they saw Morgan's note, the same note they'd found on Sunday. Jack picked it up and read aloud. Dear Jack and Annie, Camelot is in trouble. To save the kingdom, please find these four special kinds of writing for my library. Something to follow, something to send, something to learn, something to lend. Thank you, Morgan.

他们撒腿跑过自家院子，沿着安静的街道跑进了青蛙 溪树林。很快他们就来到了树屋下，顺着绳梯爬了上去。晨光中 他们看见了摩根的便条，就是周日他们找到的那张。杰克拿起便条 大声念了出来。 亲爱的杰克和安妮：卡米洛特陷入了危机。要拯救王国，请为我的图书馆找到四样 特殊的文字：可遵循之物、可寄送之物、可 学习之物、可出借之物。 谢谢你们，摩根。

Annie picked up a piece of paper lying on the floor. It was a list of rules from the famous nurse Clara Barton. They had met her on their journey to the Civil War. "'On Sunday we found the first special writing,' said Annie. "'Something to follow.' "'Yeah,' said Jack. And now we need to find the second thing. Something to send.' He picked up a book lying near the note. The cover showed soldiers on a snowy river bank. The title was The Revolutionary War. Jack frowned. "'Uh -oh,' said Annie. "'Another war,' said Jack, sighing. "'You still want to go?' said Annie.

安妮捡起地上的一张纸，那是著名护士克拉拉·巴顿写的一份守则 清单。他们之前去南北战争时期冒险的时候见过她。 “周日我们已经找到了第一样特殊文字，”安妮说，“就是‘可遵循之物’。” “对呀，”杰克说，“现在我们要找第二样东西，就是‘可寄送之物’。” 他拿起放在便条旁边的一本书，封面上画着站在积雪河岸上的士兵。 书名是《独立战争》。杰克皱起了眉头。 “哎呀，”安妮说。 “又是战争。”杰克叹了口气说。 “你还想去吗？”安妮问。
