外教读睡前故事 | King Jack and the Dragon 杰克王与龙

一起来听听今天的睡前故事吧~↓↓↓

Jack, Zak and Casper were making a den, a mighty great fort for King Jack and his men.

杰克、查克和卡卡要把帐篷搭，这将是杰克王和骑士们的城堡，坚固又伟大。

A big cardboard box, an old sheet and some sticks, a couple of trash bags, a few broken bricks.

一个超大的纸箱，几根长木棍和一条旧床单。两三个垃圾袋，再来几块碎砖。

A fine royal throne from a ragged old quilt, a drawbridge, a flag, and the castle was built.

一条破旧的棉被，变成华美的王位。一座吊桥，一面旗帜，建成了伟大的堡垒。

"Prepare to do battle, brave knights!" cried King Jack. "Protect your king's castle from dragon attack!"

“勇敢的骑士们，准备作战吧！“杰克王大喊着。”保卫国王的城堡，抵抗巨龙的侵犯！“

They spent the whole day…

他们用了一整天的时间…

Fighting dragons…

与巨龙搏斗，

And beasts…

同野兽作战。

Raaahhh!

呀——冲啊！

… and returned to their strong hold for fabulous feasts. "We'll all sleep the night in the fort," said King Jack. 

…然后，他们回到坚固的城堡，享受盛大的庆功宴。“今晚，我们都要在城堡里过夜，不回家了。”杰克王说。

Then a giant came by and went home with Sir Zak.

不一会儿，一个巨人走来，他把查克骑士领回了家。

"Two can fight dragons, no problem," Jack said…

 “两个人也能打败巨龙！”杰克说…

Then another giant came and took Caspar to bed.

接着，又来了一个巨人，带着卡卡回去睡觉。

Wrapped up in his blanket, Jack sat on his throne. 

杰克坐在王座上，裹着他的毯子。

"All right then," he said.  "I'll fight dragons alone."

“好吧，”他说。“ 那我就一个人跟巨龙作战。”

Then a strong gust of wind made the trees start to quiver.  "It's nothing," thought Jack, with a hint of a shiver.

接着一阵凶猛的风暴让树开始摇晃。“没什么，”杰克想，打了一个寒颤。

A mouse scampered over the roof, skitter-scurry. "It's nothing!" thought Jack. "There's no reason to worry."

一只老鼠，刺溜一声跑过屋顶。“没什么！”杰克想。“没什么好担心的。”

"BRRUP!" croaked a frog.  "It's nothing!" thought Jack, as he switched on his light in the deepening black.

“呱！”一只青蛙叫了起来。“没什么！“杰克想，顺便在越来越越黑的环境里拧开了灯。

"Too-Whoo!" called an owl.  "It's nothing!" Jack said, as he pulled up his blanket right over his head. 

“突突！“一只猫头鹰叫了起来。”没什么！“杰克说，顺便把他的毯子拉过头顶。

Then suddenly brave King Jack's heart skipped a beat.  He could hear something coming – a THING with four feet!

突然，勇敢的杰克王心儿一阵狂跳，他听到有什么东西正向他走来—— 一个四条腿的大家伙！

It was outside the drawbridge.  King Jack gave a yelp, "A dragon! A dragon! Mommy! Dad! Help!"

它在吊桥外面。杰克王尖叫起来，“一条龙！一条龙！妈妈！爸爸！救命！“

He wished he was anything else but a king, as the drawbridge fell open and there stood…

他开始许愿，希望自己可以是任何东西，只要不是国王就行，这时吊桥缓缓放下，而那里站着…

The THING!

那个东西！

"We're sorry," smiled Mommy, "if we gave you a fright. But it's time for brave kings to come in for the night."

“对不起，”妈妈笑道说，“我们吓到你了吧？但现在是勇敢的国王们该回家睡觉的时候啦。”

"And kings who've fought dragons all day need a bath," said Dad, as he lifted King Jack off the path.

“而且跟龙战斗了一天的国王们需要洗个澡，”爸爸说，说着他把杰克王抱起来离开了小道。

"I knew you weren't really a dragon," yawned Jack, as he bravely rode home on a big giant's back.

“我就知道你们不是什么巨龙，“杰克打了个哈欠，勇敢地骑着巨人，回家了。
