10 A Special Magic

Chapter 10 A Special Magic Tap, tap, tap. Jack opened his eyes. The Frog Creek woods were still dark and rainy. We're home, Annie said. Jack sighed. I miss them already, he said. Me too, said Annie. Did you take a lot of notes on their habits and behavior? Jack shrugged.

第十章 特别的魔法 嗒、嗒、嗒。杰克睁开了眼睛。青蛙溪树林还是黑漆漆的，下着雨。 “我们到家啦。”安妮说。 杰克叹了口气。 “我已经开始想他们了。”他说。 “我也是。”安妮说，“你有没有把他们的习性和行为记好多笔记呀？” 杰克耸了耸肩。

I listed a few things about them," he said. But sometimes lists don't tell you much. You have to love gorillas to really know them." Yeah, that's right," said Annie. Jack opened his backpack. He pulled out their research book and put it in the corner. Then he pulled out the twig that Ho -Ho had given him. He smiled as he showed it to Annie. I promised Ho -Ho I'd eat this later," he said, but I think we should save it for Morgan instead. Good idea," said Annie. It'll prove to her that we found a special magic. Yeah, gorilla magic," said Jack. The magic of all animals," said Annie. Yeah," said Jack. He placed the twig next to the scrolls they'd brought back from Old England.

“我列了几条和他们相关的内容。”他说。 但有时候光列条目说明不了什么。 你得真心喜欢大猩猩，才能真正了解他们。 “对呀，你说得没错。”安妮说。 杰克打开了他的双肩包。 他掏出他们的调查手册，放到了角落里。 接着他掏出了嗬嗬送给他的那根小树枝。 他笑着把树枝递给安妮看。 “我之前答应嗬嗬晚点会把这个吃掉的，”他说，“但我觉得我们应该把它留给摩根。” “好主意。”安妮说。 这就能向她证明我们找到了一种特别的魔法啦。 “对呀，是大猩猩的魔法。”杰克说。 “是所有动物的魔法。”安妮说。 “嗯。”杰克说。 他把小树枝放在了他们从古英格兰带回来的卷轴旁边。

Let's go," said Annie. She started down. Jack pulled on his backpack. He put the flashlight in his pack. Then he grabbed the umbrella and followed Annie. They started through the Frog Creek woods. It was still cool and dark and rainy. Jack didn't mind, though. He didn't put on his jacket. He didn't take out the flashlight. He didn't put up the umbrella. Jack felt as if he weren't completely human yet. There was still a bit of gorilla left in him. Ho, ho, ho, he said in a low voice. Boo, boo, Annie said back. Ho, ho, ho, they said together.

“我们走吧。”安妮说。 她迈步往下走。 杰克背上双肩包。 他把手电筒塞进了包里。 然后他抓起雨伞，跟在安妮身后。 他们动身穿过青蛙溪树林。 天气还是凉飕飕的，天暗沉沉的，雨还在下。 不过杰克一点都不在乎。 他没穿外套。 他没掏手电筒。 他也没撑伞。 杰克感觉自己好像还没完全变回人类。 他身上还留着一点大猩猩的感觉呢。 “嗬、嗬、嗬。”他压低声音说。 “呜、呜。”安妮应声回道。 “嗬、嗬、嗬。”他们一起喊了出来。
