Chapter 10

10 "We did it!" cheered Grace. Zoe and Sofia whooped with delight, and little FinFin swished her tail joyfully. The few remaining Fire Sparks whirled off into the air and flew away, humming with fury.

“我们成功了!”格蕾丝欢呼道。 佐伊和索菲亚高兴地叫了起来，小芬芬高兴地摇着尾巴。 剩下的几颗火苗旋转着飞向空中，愤怒地哼着歌飞走了。

"Yeah, buzz off, you annoying things," Zoe called after them, laughing. "Hey, is the Sea Keeper okay?" Even as she spoke, the dolphin poked his nose up above the surface of the water. He gazed around, looking confused. "Where am I? And who are you?" Before Grace could answer, the water around them began to churn. For a horrible moment, Grace thought the Fire Sparks were back. But a moment later a silver dolphin snout appeared, etched with swirling designs. Then another snout popped up—and another and another! Suddenly the sea was full of Diamond Dolphins, chattering around their returned leader. They were so excited that their dorsal fins flashed with color. The Diamond Dolphins circled their leader, squeaking happily. "You are in Dolphin Cove," they reminded him. "The Shiver Sharks kidnapped you. I bet it's because you're a Sea Keeper. But

“是啊，走开，你们这些讨厌的东西，”佐伊笑着在他们身后喊道。 “嘿，海洋守护者还好吗?”就在她说话的时候，海豚把鼻子探出了水面。 他环顾四周，一脸困惑。 “我在哪儿?”你是谁?”格蕾丝还没来得及回答，他们周围的水就开始搅拌了。 在那可怕的一刻，格蕾丝以为火花火回来了。 但过了一会儿，一只银色的海豚鼻子出现了，上面刻着漩涡图案。 然后另一个鼻子冒了出来——一个又一个!突然间，大海里满是钻石海豚，围着它们归来的首领叽叽喳喳。 它们兴奋得背鳍闪闪发光。 钻石海豚围着他们的首领转，高兴地吱吱叫着。 “你在海豚湾，”他们提醒他。 “颤抖鲨绑架了你。 我打赌是因为你是海洋守护者。 但

everything is better now that the Sea Dragons rescued you!" "The Shiver Sharks did NOT kidnap him," Grace called. She had to speak loudly to be heard over the dolphin chattering. "It was the Fire Queen and her Fire Sparks." "In fact," Zoe chimed in, "the sharks actually helped us. They told us where we'd find your leader!" "You know, dolphins shouldn't be scared of Shiver Sharks," Sofia added. "They're very friendly." The Diamond Dolphins looked at one another doubtfully. Clearly, they didn't believe the Sea Dragons. But then their leader spoke. "It's coming back to me now," he said slowly. "The Sea Dragons are speaking the truth. The Shiver Sharks had nothing to do with my capture." He turned to Grace, Zoe, and Sofia. "And if the sharks helped you find me, then we owe them an apology. Perhaps we should

现在海龙救了你，一切都好了!”“颤抖鲨没有绑架他，”格蕾丝喊道。 她必须大声说话才能盖过海豚的叽叽喳喳声。 “是烈火女王和她的火花。” “事实上，”佐伊插嘴说，“鲨鱼实际上帮助了我们。 他们告诉我们在哪里可以找到你们的领袖!”“你知道，海豚不应该害怕鲨鱼，”索菲亚补充说。 “他们非常友好。”钻石海豚们疑惑地面面相觑。 很明显，他们不相信海龙。 但是他们的领袖说话了。 “我现在想起来了，”他慢慢地说。 “海龙说的是实话。 我的被捕跟颤抖鲨一点关系都没有。” 他转向格蕾丝、佐伊和索菲亚。 “如果鲨鱼帮你找到了我，那么我们应该向它们道歉。 也许我们应该

give them a gift. What would they like, do you think?" Grace smiled. "You know what would make them really happy? Visit them for afternoon tea and races!" The dolphin leader's dorsal fin flashed green with pleasure. "Then that is what we'll do. And what about you, Sea Dragons? How can we thank you? Would you like to come for a feast in Dolphin City? We could catch shrimp in your honor. They are delicious eaten raw. And their shells are so very crunchy!" "That's very kind, but there's no need to thank us. Plus, we have to get home," Grace said hastily. She didn't even like cooked shrimp—she was pretty sure she would not like them raw and with their shells on! With happy high-pitched goodbyes, the dolphins leapt into the air and dove back underwater, swimming swiftly away as one big, contented pod.

给他们一份礼物。你觉得他们会喜欢什么?”优雅的笑了。 “你知道什么能让他们真正开心吗?” 去他们那里喝下午茶，参加比赛!”海豚首领的背鳍高兴地闪着绿光。 “那我们就这么办吧。 你呢，海龙们? 我们该怎么感谢你呢?你愿意来海豚城吃一顿大餐吗? 我们可以为你抓虾。 生吃很好吃。 它们的壳很脆!”“那真是太好了，不过不用谢我们。 再说，我们还得回家。”格蕾丝急忙说。 她甚至不喜欢煮熟的虾——她很确定她不喜欢生的带壳的虾!海豚们欢快地尖声说着再见，跃入空中，又潜入水中，作为一个心满意足的大群迅速游开了。

The Sea Dragons turned to look at one another. "I wonder how we get home," Zoe said, voicing what they were all thinking. "Maybe we return to the glade?" Sofia suggested. It was a good idea, but Grace had noticed something. The shells on their bracelets were glowing! Without really thinking, Grace took hers off and cupped it in her paws. Zoe and Sofia did the same. The shell quivered in Grace's paws, and she felt it pulling toward the other two shells like magnets being drawn together. "They're joining up," Sofia observed. When the three shells touched, there was a satisfying click and a sudden burst of light. When the light faded, the three shells had formed into one beautiful pearly shell. "Look!" Zoe pointed. "There's something in it!" Zoe was right. An image flickered on the shell's smooth surface. A moment later, the glade

海龙们转过身来，面面相觑。 “我想知道我们怎么回家，”佐伊说，说出了他们所有人的想法。 “要不我们回到林间空地去?”索非亚。 这是个好主意，但格蕾丝注意到了一些东西。 他们手镯上的贝壳在发光!格蕾丝想都没想就把她的手拿下来，捧在爪子里。 佐伊和索菲亚也这么做了。 贝壳在格蕾丝的爪子里颤抖着，她感到它像磁铁一样被拉向另外两个贝壳。 “他们会合了。”索非亚说。 当三枚炮弹碰在一起时，发出了令人满意的咔哒声和一道突然爆发的亮光。 当光线消失时，三个贝壳就变成了一个美丽的珍珠贝壳。 “看!”佐伊指出。“里面有东西!”佐伊是对的。 一个影像在贝壳光滑的表面上闪烁。 过了一会儿，林间空地

appeared on the shell. The Tree Queen's elegant face appeared, smiling broadly. "Thank you, Sea Dragons," she said in her warm, rich voice, "for rescuing the first Sea Keeper. You did very well on this first quest." "This first quest?" Grace leaned forward eagerly. "You mean, we get to come back? There will be more quests?" "That's right. Sea Dragons, your work here is not yet done," the Tree Queen said, her branches swaying. "What do you say? Will you three return to help rescue the other missing Sea Keepers?" Grace thought about their adventure. She and her friends had flown high in the sky. They'd swum deep underwater with wild sea creatures. They'd even battled the Fire Sparks—and won! Best of all, they'd rescued the dolphin leader. "Grace, you're shivering like a Shiver Shark." Sofia looked worried. "Are you nervous about something?" Zoe asked kindly.

出现在贝壳上。树后优雅的脸出现了，露出了灿烂的笑容。 “谢谢你们，海龙们，”她用温暖而丰富的声音说，“你们救了第一位海洋守护者。 你在第一次任务中做得很好。” “第一个任务?”格蕾丝急切地向前倾着身子。 “你是说，我们还能回来?” 会有更多的任务吗?”“这是正确的。 海龙们，你们在这里的工作还没有完成。”树后说，她的树枝摇摆着。 “你说呢?”你们三个会回来帮助营救其他失踪的海洋守护者吗?”格蕾丝想着他们的冒险。 她和她的朋友们飞得很高。 他们和野生海洋生物一起在深海中游泳。 他们甚至和火焰队打过仗，而且赢了!最重要的是，他们救出了海豚首领。 "格蕾丝，你抖得像个哆嗦鲨" 索菲亚显得很担心。“你有什么事紧张吗?”佐伊和蔼地问。
