The day after Tom and Huck's adventure in the tavern, Becky reminded everyone that she was having a picnic

汤姆和哈克在酒馆冒险后的第二天，贝基提醒大家她要办野餐。

This interrupted Tom's thoughts

这打断了汤姆的思绪。

旁白 neutral

He stopped dreaming of Injun Joe, and he stopped dreaming of gold

旁白 neutral

The only thing he could think about was Becky and the picnic

他唯一能想到的就是贝基和野餐。

旁白 neutral

That night Tom couldn't sleep. He stayed up, waiting for Huck to call

那天晚上汤姆睡不着。他一直熬夜，等着哈克来叫他。

旁白 neutral

But Huck didn't call, so the next morning a sleepy Tom joined the rest of the children at the ferry landing

但是哈克没来，所以第二天早上，睡眼惺忪的汤姆和其他孩子在渡口会合了。

旁白 neutral

As they were getting ready to board the ferry, Tom overheard Becky's mother tell her," You'll be getting back late

正当他们准备登上渡船时，汤姆无意间听到贝基的妈妈对她说：“你们回来会很晚。

Why don't you stay with the Harpers tonight, near the landing."

When Tom heard this, he hatched a plan

" Becky," he said," let's spend the night at Widow Douglas' house instead

“贝基，”他说，“我们改去道格拉斯寡妇家过夜吧。

She'll have ice cream."

Becky was about to say no when Tom reminded her that her mother would never know

旁白 neutral

The ferry dropped the picnickers off at a spot about three miles from town

旁白 neutral

After they had eaten and played some games, somebody yelled," Who's ready for the cave?"

旁白 neutral

Everyone shouted," Yay!" So candles were quickly provided, and the children entered the cave

旁白 neutral

The cave was a confusing maze of twisting and turning tunnels, but most of the boys knew their way around a lot of it

这个洞穴像一个由弯弯曲曲的隧道组成的、令人迷惑的迷宫，但大多数男孩对其中很多地方都很熟悉。

After a while the boys and girls returned to the cave entrance

旁白 neutral

To Huck's surprise, one of the men seemed to be carrying a box under his arm

旁白 neutral

They headed toward the ferry landing, and then a little out of town

旁白 neutral

They stopped near the Widow Douglas' house

旁白 neutral

" There are lights on," growled Injun Joe." She must have company."

“灯亮着，”印第安·乔低吼道，“她肯定有客人在。”

旁白 neutral

" Maybe we shouldn't do this," said the second man

旁白 neutral

" No way," said Injun Joe." I want revenge

Huck stopped at the first house he came to

哈克在他碰到的第一户人家前停了下来。

旁白 neutral

It was the Welshman's house, and he banged on the door

旁白 neutral

As soon as the Welshman opened the door, Huck told him that Widow Douglas might be in danger

旁白 neutral

The Welshman and his sons grabbed their guns and ran into the night

威尔士人和他的儿子们抓起枪，冲进了夜幕里。

旁白 neutral

Huck returned at dawn to learn what had happened

天刚亮，哈克就返回村里打听情况。

旁白 neutral

" Sit down, boy," said the Welshman

“坐下吧，孩子，”威尔士先生说。

旁白 neutral

" First we'll have breakfast, and then we'll trade stories."

旁白 neutral

After breakfast Huck learned that Injun Joe and his partner had gotten away, but that the box contained only thieves' tools

吃完早饭哈克得知，印第安·乔和他的同伙逃走了，但箱子里装的只是些小偷工具。

Huck told the Welshman almost everything he knew

旁白 neutral

The Welshman was shocked that he and his boys had almost captured Injun Joe

旁白 neutral

All through the morning Huck stayed out of sight because he didn't want anyone to know that he was involved

整个上午哈克都躲着没露面，因为他不想让任何人知道这事跟他有关。

旁白 neutral

The Welshman had a lot of visitors who wanted to hear the tale, and he told them

威尔士先生那儿来了好多访客，都想听这个故事，他就讲给大伙儿听。

旁白 neutral

But he never mentioned Huck's name; instead he described a mystery man who had warned him of the crime

但他压根儿没提哈克的名字；相反，他描述说有个神秘人提前警告了他这桩罪行。

旁白 neutral

Soon the town was as curious about the mystery man as they were about the crime

很快，镇上的人对那个神秘人的好奇心，不亚于对这桩罪案本身。

旁白 neutral

But the Welshman wouldn't reveal Huck's identity

但威尔士先生不肯透露哈克的身份。

旁白 neutral

Although there was no Sunday school during summer vacation, the whole town gathered at the church

旁白 neutral

People wanted to hear more news about the thieves and the mystery man

旁白 neutral

Before long a new mystery appeared: where were Becky Thatcher and Tom Sawyer?

没过多久，一个新的谜团出现了：贝基·撒切尔和汤姆·索亚去哪儿了？

Judge Thatcher organized a search party, and the group went to the cave

旁白 neutral

They looked for Becky and Tom for three straight days, but were unable to find them

The only thing they found was Tom and Becky's names written on the wall of the cave

旁白 neutral

While Huck was following the thieves and most of the town was sleeping, Tom and Becky had become lost in the cave

Tom was an experienced explorer, but while he was with Becky, he had forgotten to mark their path

Becky cried, and Tom did his best to comfort her

贝基哭了起来，汤姆尽力安慰她。
