[영어원서 읽기, magic tree house] #6 Afternoon on the Amazon

모건을 구하기 위해 4가지 물건을 찾아야 하는 잭과 애니. 지난번 중세 일본에서 첫번째 물건, 문스톤을 찾았고, 두번째 물건을 찾기 위해 아마존으로 시간여행을 떠난다.

 

아마존 열대우림을 쉬운 단어들로 이렇게 설명하다니...

Only a few rays of light slanted through the gloom. 음습한 우림 내부.

In the rain forest, many living creatures blend in with their surroundings. This is called camouflage. 보호색을 띈 각종 곤충, 동물들.
