"For a thousand years," said the ghost-queen, "I have waited for help."

"My brother hid the Book of the Dead. So tomb robbers would not steal it," said the ghost-queen. "Then he carved this secret message on the wall, telling me how to find it." She pointed to the wall.

"Poisonous snakes," said the ghost-queen. "Lakes of fire. Monsters. Demons."

"Before I journey on to the Next Life, I must pass through the horrors of the Underworld."

"Why do you need the Book of the Dead?" asked Annie. She didn't sound scared at all.
查看中文翻译
But Jack could only stare in horror.
查看中文翻译
Jack's heart was pounding so hard he thought he might faint.
查看中文翻译
"A ghost," Annie whispered.
查看中文翻译
"Yes," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack still couldn't speak.
查看中文翻译
The ghost began to speak. She spoke in a hollow, echoing voice.
查看中文翻译
"It will tell me the magic spells I need to get through the Underworld," said the ghost-queen.
查看中文翻译
"What kinds of horrors?" Annie asked.
查看中文翻译
"I am Hutepi," she said. "Queen of the Nile. Is it true that you have come to help me?"
查看中文翻译
"The Underworld?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Oh." Annie stepped closer to Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Someone must find my Book of the Dead," she said. "I need it to go on to the Next Life."
查看中文翻译
Jack was still in shock. He couldn't move.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, man," he whispered.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, that's not a strange problem," said Annie. "Jack can't see anything either. That's why he wears glasses."
查看中文翻译
"Jack, lend her your glasses," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
The ghost-queen stared in wonder at Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Hieroglyphs!" said Jack, finally finding his voice. "It's the ancient Egyptian way of writing. It's like writing with pictures."
查看中文翻译
Jack took his glasses off his nose. He held them out to the ghost-queen.
查看中文翻译
"Where?" asked Annie. "Here?" She squinted at the wall. "What do these tiny pictures mean?"
查看中文翻译
Jack smiled back at her. He put his glasses on. Then he stepped toward the wall and took a good long look.
查看中文翻译
The ghost-queen smiled at him. "Thank you, Jack," she said.
查看中文翻译
"But perhaps you will describe the hieroglyphs on these walls," said the ghost-queen.
查看中文翻译
She backed away from him. "I fear I cannot wear your glasses, Jack," she said. "I am made of air."
查看中文翻译
"Hi-row-who?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
The ghost-queen smiled sadly. "Alas, my brother forgot my strange problem. I cannot see clearly that which is close to my eyes. I have not been able to read his message for a thousand years."
查看中文翻译
"Oh. I forgot," said Annie.
