He pointed at the sea. “Or we’ll be meat for those evil brutes!”
他指了指大海，说：“不然我们就成了这些畜牲的盘中餐了。”
The rowboat tossed from side to side. The waves were huge. Salty spray stung Jack’s eyes. He felt seasick.
划艇剧烈地左右摇晃着。浪很大，溅起咸咸的海水，刺痛了杰克的眼睛。他有些晕船。
Dark fins cut through the water. Sharks. One zoomed right by the boat. Jack could have reached out and touched it.
只见深色的鱼鳍划过海面，原来是鲨鱼！其中一只从划艇旁边疾行而过，杰克若是伸出手都可以摸到它！
The air was filled with wild fiddle music and bagpipes playing. And Jack heard jeers, shouts, and ugly laughter.
空气中充满了狂野的小提琴音乐和风笛演奏。杰克听到了嘲笑，呐喊和恶心的笑声。
Soon the rowboat pulled alongside the ship.
但是不多久，划艇就来到了大船跟前。
He shuddered.
他不禁打了个哆嗦。
The ship creaked and moaned. It rolled from side to side. Ropes flapped and snapped in the wild wind.
海盗船发出嘎吱嘎吱的声音不停摇晃着。
A couple of pirates grabbed Jack and Annie. And threw them in the ship’s cabin. Then locked the door.
过来了两个海盗抓住杰克和安妮把他们扔到船长的船舱，然后锁上门离开了。
Everywhere they looked, Jack and Annie saw pirates.

“Hoist ’em aboard!” Cap’n Bones shouted to his men.
“把他们关起来。”骷髅船长命令海盗们。
“Lock ’em in my cabin!” Cap’n Bones ordered.
“把他们关到我的船舱去！”船长命令道。
Some were dancing. Some were drinking. Many were fighting. With swords. Or with their fists.
有的在跳舞，有的在唱歌。有些在用剑搏斗，还有的在用拳头打架。
“We better examine the book,” he said.
“咱们最好研究一下那本书。”他说。
The air inside the cabin was damp and sour-smelling. A shaft of gray light came through a small round window.
舱里的空气潮湿、酸臭。一束惨淡的白光从一扇小圆窗里射进来。
“Captain Kidd!” said Jack.
“基德船长！”杰克说。
He found a picture of pirates burying a treasure chest. “This might help.”
他发现了一张海盗埋财宝箱的图片，“这也许有用。”他说。
He flipped through the pages.

Jack took out his notebook and pencil. He wrote: Captain Kidd’s treasure on island.
杰克拿出他的笔记本和铅笔，写道：基德船长的财宝在岛上。
Together they read the words under the picture: Captain Kidd was a famous pirate. It is said that he buried a treasure chest on a deserted island. The chest was filled with gold and jewels.
他们一起读着图片下面的文字：基德船长是个著名的海盗，据说他把一只装满金子和珠宝的箱子埋在了一座荒岛上。
He reached into his pack and pulled out the pirate book.
于是把手伸进背包里，拿出了那本关于海盗的书。
“Right.” Jack suddenly felt tired. How would they ever get out of this mess?
“没错。”但杰克忽然感到没了力气，他们怎样才能从这困境中逃出去呢？
He looked for information to help them.
他在找寻对他们有用的信息。
“Oh man,” said Jack. “We’ve got to figure out how to get back to the island.”
“噢，天哪！我们得想办法回到小岛。”杰克说。
“So we can get into the tree house and go home,” said Annie.
“那我们就可以爬进树屋回家了。”安妮说。
“So that’s the kid that Bones keeps talking about,” said Annie.
“那么这就是骷髅船长所说的‘鸡的宝藏’啰！”安妮说。
“Right,” said Jack.
“对。”杰克回答。
“Look,” he said.
“看。”他说。
Annie looked out the round window. “And Captain Kidd’s treasure is buried somewhere on the island,” she said.
安妮从圆窗子里看出去，说：“基德船长的金银财宝一定埋在岛上的某个地方。”
“Shhh, wait a minute,” he said. “I’m thinking.”
“别吵！等一下，我在思考。”杰克说。
“Yep.” A big black rock looked like the eye of the whale.
“对。”一块黑色的大石头看上去就是鲸鱼的眼睛。
“Neat,” he said. Then he looked up. “A whale? Did you say… a whale?”
“好极了。”杰克说。他抬起头来，“一头鲸鱼？你刚才是说一头鲸鱼吗？”
“What?” Jack asked. He looked back at the book.
“什么？”杰克眼睛盯着书问。
“Oh man,” whispered Jack. Now he could see it.
“噢，天哪！”杰克小声说。他现在终于看见了。
Jack jumped up and looked out the window with her.

“Guess what I see?” said Annie.
“你猜我看见什么了？”安妮说。
“Where?” Jack asked. All he could see was the island. And stormy waves. And shark fins.
“在哪儿呀？”杰克问。他目所能及的就是小岛、汹涌的波涛和鲨鱼的鳍。
“Yep.” The slope of the island looked like the back of a whale.
“对。”岛上的斜坡看上去就像鲸鱼的背。
“See his eye?” said Annie.

“The gold doth lie beneath the whale’s eye,” whispered Jack. “Wow.”
