06 Good Morning,Gorillas

Chapter 6. Good morning, gorillas. The pounding ended. There was silence, a long silence. Jack opened his eyes. He peeked around the tree. The silverback was sitting on the ground. His lips were curved in a smile. He looked pleased with himself. Was his whole act a fake? Jack wondered. Jack didn't know whether to be scared or to laugh. The only thing he did know was he still had to get to Annie.

第六章 早上好呀，大猩猩们。 捶打声停了下来。四周一片寂静，久久的寂静。杰克睁开眼睛，偷偷探出头往 树的四周看。银背大猩猩正坐在地上，嘴角弯起一抹笑意，他 看起来对自己的表现很满意。 他刚才的样子全是装出来的吗？杰克纳闷极了，他都不知道自己该害怕还是该笑。 他唯一确定的是，自己还是得去到安妮身边。

Jack pulled out the research book. He found the gorilla chapter again. He read, To safely get close to gorillas in the wild, it's wise to act like a gorilla yourself. Crouch down and rest on your knuckles like a gorilla. Keep your head down and act friendly. Jack packed up his research book. He put his pack on his back. Then he went down on his knees. Jack took a deep breath. He smiled a friendly smile. Pressing down on his knuckles, he moved out from behind the tree. His fingers hurt as he walked on them. The silverback grunted. Jack didn't look up. He kept smiling a friendly smile as he crawled through the brush toward the clearing.

杰克掏出那本研究手册，又翻到讲大猩猩的章节，读了起来： 想要安全靠近野生大猩猩，最聪明的做法就是模仿大猩猩的行为。 像大猩猩一样蹲下来，用指关节撑着地面，低着头，表现出友好的样子。 杰克把研究手册收起来，背上背包，接着跪了下来。 杰克深吸一口气，露出了一个友好的笑容。 他用指关节撑着地面，从树后面走了出来。 用指节走路的时候他的手指很疼，银背大猩猩哼了一声，杰克没有抬头。 他一直保持着友好的笑容，穿过灌木丛，朝着空地爬去。

When he got to the edge of the clearing, he glanced back. The giant gorilla was following him. He was frowning, but he didn't seem about to attack. Jack kept going. He moved into the clearing. Then he stopped. More gorillas were waking up. A large gorilla hugged Boo -Boo as if to comfort her. When Boo -Boo saw Jack, she screeched joyfully. All the other gorillas turned to look at him. They made nervous sounds. Jack's heart pounded, but he just smiled his friendly smile and kept crawling. He crawled around the gorillas and over to Annie. Wake up! he said, shaking her. Annie yawned, then opened her eyes. Oh, hi! she said.

爬到空地边缘的时候，他回头瞥了一眼，那只巨型大猩猩正跟在 他后面。他皱着眉头，但看起来不像是要攻击的样子。杰克继续往前，走进了 空地里，接着他停了下来。更多大猩猩醒了过来，一只成年大猩猩抱着布布 好像在安慰她。布布看到杰克的时候，开心地叫了起来，其他所有大猩猩都 转过头来看他，发出了不安的声响。杰克的心跳得咚咚响，但他还是露出了 友好的笑容，继续往前爬。他绕过大猩猩们，爬到了安妮身边。 醒醒！他晃了晃安妮说。安妮打了个哈欠，睁开眼睛。哦，你好呀！她说。

Are you okay?" asked Jack. Sure, she said. She sat up and looked around. She gasped. The gorillas were staring at Jack and Annie with bright, darting eyes. The silverback stared the hardest. Oh, wow! said Annie. A joyful smile crossed her face. Good morning, gorillas!

你还好吗？杰克问。 我没事呀，她说。 她坐了起来，四下张望。 她倒抽了一口冷气。 大猩猩们都睁着圆溜溜的眼睛，滴溜溜地盯着杰克和安妮。 银背大猩猩盯得最认真。 哇哦！安妮叫道。 她的脸上露出了开心的笑容。 早上好呀，大猩猩们！
