5 Ch5-Rhymes of the Christmas Knight

CHAPTER FIVE Rhymes of the Christmas Knight "Morgan?" said Annie. Annie ran to the table. She touched Morgan's cheek, then quickly pulled back her hand. "She's cold. She's as cold as ice!" said Annie. Tears filled her eyes.

第五章圣诞骑士的押韵“摩根?”安妮说。 安妮跑向桌子。她摸了摸摩根的脸颊，然后迅速缩回了手。 ”她很冷。她像冰一样冷!”安妮说。 泪水充满了她的眼睛。

Annie turned to the Christmas Knight in a fury. "What did you do to Morgan?" she asked. "Bring her back!" "Do not fear," said the Christmas Knight. His voice was softer and kinder. "She will come back to life after you complete your quest." "What—what exactly is our quest?" said Jack. "You must journey to the Otherworld," said the Christmas Knight. "There you will find a cauldron. The cauldron is filled with the Water of Memory and Imagination. You must bring a cup of the water back to Camelot. If you fail, Camelot will never come back to life. Never." "How do we do all that?" asked Annie, wiping her eyes.

安妮愤怒地转向圣诞骑士。 “你对摩根做了什么?”她问。 “把她带回来!”“不要害怕，”圣诞骑士说。 他的声音更柔和、更亲切了。 “你完成任务后，她会复活的。” “我们到底在寻找什么?”杰克问。 “你必须到另一个世界去。”圣诞骑士说。 “在那里你会发现一个坩埚。 大锅里装满了记忆和想象之水。 你必须带一杯水回卡梅洛特。 如果你失败了，卡梅洛特就永远不会复活了。 从来没有。”“我们要怎么做呢?”安妮擦着眼睛问。

"Remember these three rhymes," said the Christmas Knight. "Wait, let me write them down," said Jack. His hands trembled as he pulled out his notebook and pencil. He looked at the Christmas Knight. "Okay, I'm ready," he said. Gripping his pencil made Jack feel stronger. The knight's voice rang out from inside his helmet. "Beyond the iron gate The Keepers of the Cauldron wait." Jack quickly wrote down the knight's words. "Okay, what's next?" he asked.

“记住这三首押韵诗，”圣诞骑士说。 “等等，让我把它们写下来。”杰克说。 他掏出笔记本和铅笔，双手颤抖着。 他看着圣诞骑士。 “好吧，我准备好了，”他说。 紧握铅笔让杰克觉得自己更强壮了。 骑士的声音从他的头盔里传来。 “铁门那边，坩埚守护者在等着。” 杰克迅速记下了骑士的话。 “好吧，接下来是什么?”

The Christmas Knight went on: "Four gifts you will need— The first from me. Then a cup, a compass, And, finally, a key." "Cup… compass… key…. Got it," said Jack. The Christmas Knight's voice boomed again: "If you survive to complete your quest, The secret door lies to the west." Jack copied down the last rhyme, then looked up at the knight. "Anything else?" he asked. Without a word, the knight pulled off his red cloak. He dropped it to the floor. It fell silently

圣诞骑士接着说:“你需要四件礼物——第一件是我送的。 然后是杯子，指南针，最后是钥匙。” “杯子……指南针……钥匙....。 明白了。”杰克说。圣诞骑士的声音再次响起:“如果你活下来完成任务，秘密之门就在西边。” 杰克抄下最后一个押韵，然后抬头看着骑士。 “还有别的吗?”他问。 骑士二话没说，脱下他的红斗篷。 他把它掉在地板上。 它无声地落下

into a heap at Jack and Annie's feet. The Christmas Knight snapped his horse's red reins, then galloped out of the great hall.

在杰克和安妮的脚边堆成一堆。 圣诞骑士勒紧红缰绳，飞奔出了大厅。
