1 A Ship?

High tide in Hawaii.

夏威夷涨潮啦。

Chapter 1. A Ship? Jack and Annie were sitting on their porch reading books. Jack was reading about gorillas. Annie was reading about pilgrims. Suddenly Annie closed her book. She looked up into the sunset. Hey! Annie said with a smile. Jack looked over at her. It's back! She said, jumping up. Oh man! Breathed Jack. He knew she was talking about the Magic Treehouse.

第一章 一艘船？ 杰克和安妮正坐在门廊上看书。杰克在看关于大猩猩的书，安妮在看关于清教徒的书。 突然安妮合上书，抬头望向日落的方向。 “嘿！”安妮笑着喊了一声，杰克扭头看向她。 “它回来了！”她跳着站起来喊道。 “我的天呐！”杰克轻声叹道，他知道安妮说的是魔法树屋。

Annie could always tell when it was back. Jack closed his book and stood up. We're going to the woods, he called through the screen door. There's something we have to check on. Be back before dark, their mom said. We will, said Jack. He picked up his backpack. Then he and Annie headed across the yard. When they got to the sidewalk they started running. They ran up their street and into the Frog Creek woods. In the last light of day, they hurried between the trees. Finally they came to the tallest oak. They held their breath as they looked up. The magic tree house was back. Good going, said Jack. Thanks, said Annie.

每次魔法树屋回来，安妮总能第一时间察觉到。 杰克合上书站了起来。 “我们去树林里一趟。”他隔着纱门喊道。 我们有件事得去确认一下。 “天黑前要回来哦。”妈妈叮嘱道。 “我们会的。”杰克回答。 他拿起自己的背包。 然后他和安妮穿过院子往外走。 走到人行道上之后，他们就跑了起来。 他们沿着街道一路跑，冲进了青蛙溪树林。 借着黄昏最后一点天光，他们在树木间快步穿行。 终于，他们来到了那棵最高的橡树下。 他们屏住呼吸抬头望去。 魔法树屋真的回来了。 “干得好。”杰克说。 “谢啦。”安妮说。

She started up the ladder. Jack followed. It was nearly dark inside, but the sun -dried wood smelled like a summer day. What kind of special magic will we look for this time? said Jack. They glanced around the treehouse. They saw the scrolls they'd brought back from Shakespeare's theatre. They saw the twig for the mountain gorillas and the pouch of corn seeds from the first Thanksgiving. There! said Annie. She pointed to a book in the corner. A piece of paper was sticking out of it. Jack picked up the book. Then he pulled out the paper and read.

她开始爬梯子，杰克跟在后面。树屋里几乎全暗了，但被太阳晒干的 木头闻起来有夏日的气息。 “这次我们要找的是什么特殊魔法呀？”杰克问。 他们扫了一圈树屋，看到了之前从莎士比亚 剧院带回来的卷轴，还有送给山地大猩猩的小树枝，以及从 第一个感恩节带回来的一袋玉米种子。 “在那儿！”安妮指着角落的一本书喊道，有一张纸条从 书里露出来。杰克拿起书，抽出纸条读了起来。

Dear Jack and Annie, good luck on your fourth journey to find a special magic. This secret rhyme will guide you. To find a special magic, build a special kind of ship that rides the waves both high and low on every kind of trip. Thank you, Morgan." Jack looked at Annie. A ship? he said. She shrugged. Yep, I guess we have to build a ship. Where do we go to build it? She and Jack looked at the book's cover. It showed palm trees, a beach, and a beautiful ocean. The title was, A Visit to Old Hawaii. Oh wow, said Annie. I love Hawaii.

亲爱的杰克和安妮，祝你们第四次寻找特殊魔法的旅程顺利。这首秘密谜语会指引你们。 想要找到特殊魔法，就得造一艘特别的船，不管旅途遇到什么浪，它都能稳稳航行。 “谢谢你们，摩根。” 杰克看向安妮。 “造船？”他问道。 她耸了耸肩。 “对呀，看来我们得造一艘船。我们要去哪儿造船呀？” 她和杰克看向书的封面，封面上画着棕榈树、沙滩，还有一片美丽的大海。 书名是《探访古夏威夷》。 “哇哦！”安妮叫道，“我超爱夏威夷的！”

How do you know you love it?" Jack asked. We've never been to Hawaii. Well, we're going now," said Annie. She pointed at the cover. We wish we could go there. The wind started to blow. The treehouse started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still.

“你怎么知道你喜欢夏威夷呀？”杰克问。 我们从来没去过夏威夷呀。 “哎呀，我们现在就要去啦。”安妮说。 她指着封面。 “我们希望能去那里。” 风刮了起来。 树屋开始旋转。 它转得越来越快。 然后一切都静止了。 彻底静止了。
