[영어원서 읽기, magic tree house] #4 Pirates past Noon

잭과 애니는 이번에는 해적이 숨긴 보물을 찾아 시간여행을 떠난다. 그리고 각 여행지마다 흔적을 남겼던 M person의 정체가 점점 드러나는데... 흥미를 더해가는 매직트리하우스!

Tucked between two branches was the tree house. 주어가 길어서 도치된 문장이다. 자연스레 해석되지만, 초등학교용 동화에서 이런 어려운 문장드리 나오고 있다. 재미도있고, 은근히 영어도 배우는 것 같다. 

Rain fell in buckets. 비가 억수같이 쏟아졌다. 미국이나 우리나 표현이 비슷하다 ㅎㅎ

Jack couldn't tear himself away. 잭은 도망칠 수 없었다.

 

M person의 정체가 밝혀지고, 매직 트리 하우스는 사라진다. 잭과 애니의 모험은 어떻게 되는 것인지~
