[영어원서 읽기, magic tree house] #3 Mummies in the morning

잭과 애니는 이번에는 피라미드를 보기 위해 고대 이집트로 시간여행을 떠난다.

she sure knew how to get to him. ㅋㅋ그녀는 그를 다루는 법을 알았다 ㅋㅋ

He stepped out of the hot, bright sunlight into the cool, dark pyramid.

그는 뜨겁고 밝은 태양빛에서 벗어나 시원하고 어두운 피라미드로 들어갔다.

She backed away from him. 그녀는 그를 외면했다.

미국 초등학생 교재인만큼, 문맥상 파악이 가능한 단어들로 이루어졌음에도, 많은 상황과 묘사들을 적절히 해내고 있다. 갈 길이 멀다고 느꼈다ㅜㅜ 다행인 것은 무엇보다 이야기가 재미있다 ㅋㅋ
