Chapter 4

4 "Dolphin Cove," Zoe repeated. "Either of you know where that might be? I arrived in the Magic Forest at a surf beach. I don't think that's where we're meant to go." "I arrived here in a lagoon," Sofia said. "It was so beautiful! But it wasn't a cove."

“海豚湾，”佐伊重复道。 “你们知道那可能在哪儿吗?” 我来到了魔法森林的一个冲浪海滩。 我不认为这是我们应该去的地方。” “我是在一个泻湖里来到这里的，”索菲亚说。 “太美了!”但那不是爱情。”

"I arrived at a cove," Grace said. "That's great!" Zoe said. "Could you find your way back there?" Grace closed her eyes, trying to remember which way FinFin had led her through the forest. Her mom always said she had a good sense of direction. But there had been so many twists and turns to get to the glade. She wasn't sure if she could find her way back. Grace felt a tugging at her wrist. Opening her eyes, she saw that the shell on her bracelet had changed. Before, it was plain white. Now it pulsed with an aqua light. And that wasn't all! Grace could hear a voice coming from inside the shell. She held the shell up to her ear. "I will guide you there, Sea Dragon. Just listen for the ocean," said a voice as gentle as the waves lapping on the shore. "My shell is going to show us the way," Grace said, turning to Zoe and Sofia. "Follow me!"

“我来到了一个小海湾，”格蕾丝说。 “太好了!”佐伊说。“你能找到回去的路吗?”格蕾丝闭上眼睛，努力回忆芬芬带她穿过森林的那条路。 她妈妈总说她有很好的方向感。 但是到林间空地的路上有很多曲折。 她不确定是否能找到回去的路。 格蕾丝感到有人在拽她的手腕。 睁开眼睛，她看到手镯上的贝壳变了。 以前，它是纯白色的。 现在它发出一道水光。 这还不是全部!格蕾丝可以听到一个声音从壳里传出来。 她把贝壳举到耳边。 “我带你去，海龙。 听着大海的声音，”一个声音说，声音温柔得像海浪拍打着海岸。 “我的贝壳会给我们指明方向，”格蕾丝说着，转向佐伊和索菲亚。 “跟我来!”

Together, the three Sea Dragons flew up and out of the glade and into the vast forest beyond. Grace held the shell to her ear and the voice told her when and where to turn. Zoe and Sofia flew alongside. "I love surfing in the water," Zoe said, cruising on a warm gust of wind, "but I have to say, air surfing is also pretty fun." "I keep imagining the amazing dives I could do from way up here!" Sofia laughed, doing a backward somersault. Grace was enjoying herself as well. Flying felt strangely natural to her. It was sort of like swimming—just with a better view! "We are almost there," cooed the voice in Grace's shell. Sure enough, Grace could see the tall palm trees and jewel-like cove glittering ahead. She turned to Sofia and Zoe. "Ready for a swim?" "You bet!" her friends chorused.

三只海龙一起飞了起来，飞出了林间空地，飞进了远处广阔的森林里。 格蕾丝把贝壳放在耳边，那个声音告诉她何时何地转向。 佐伊和索菲亚在旁边飞。 “我喜欢在水里冲浪，”佐伊乘着一阵暖风说，“但我不得不说，空中冲浪也很有趣。” “我一直在想象我能从这里进行的惊人潜水!”索非亚笑了，向后翻了一个筋斗。 格蕾丝也玩得很开心。 飞行对她来说是一种奇怪的自然感觉。 这有点像游泳——只是视野更好!“我们就快到了，”格蕾丝壳里的声音低声说。 果然，格蕾丝可以看到前面高大的棕榈树和宝石般的海湾闪闪发光。 她转向索菲亚和佐伊。 “准备好游泳了吗?”“当然!”她的朋友们齐声说。

The Sea Dragons flew lower and lower until they were just above the aqua-blue water. Grace and Zoe headed straight for the water, wings tucked in closely by their sides. But Sofia couldn't resist doing a few tumbles and spins as she elegantly dove in after the others. The warm seawater bubbled all around Grace. She blinked a few times. Usually she needed goggles to open her eyes underwater. But as a Sea Dragon, everything was just as clear down here as it had been in the air. Even better, Grace discovered she could breathe underwater! She looked around. Beams of sunlight shafted through the bright water, lighting up the underwater world of the cove. Pretty pink, purple, and pale blue seaweed grew like a garden, the delicate tendrils swaying back and forth. Shells of every shape and size decorated the seafloor. Colored fish darted here and there, many of them regarding the three Sea Dragons a little nervously.

海龙们飞得越来越低，直到刚刚飞到水蓝色的水面上。 格蕾丝和佐伊径直向水里游去，翅膀紧紧地夹在身体两侧。 但索菲亚还是忍不住做了几个翻滚和旋转，她优雅地跟着其他人跳了进去。 温暖的海水在格蕾丝周围沸腾。 她眨了几下眼睛。通常她需要护目镜才能在水下睁开眼睛。 但作为海龙，这里的一切和在空中一样清晰。 更棒的是，格蕾丝发现她可以在水下呼吸!她环顾四周。 阳光穿过明亮的海水，照亮了海湾的海底世界。 美丽的粉红色、紫色和淡蓝色海藻像花园一样生长，精致的卷须来回摆动。 各种形状和大小的贝壳装饰着海底。 彩色的鱼游来游去，许多都有点紧张地看着三只海龙。

"It's so beautiful!" Sofia said with a sigh that sounded like a waterfall. "Where are these Diamond Dolphins, I wonder?" Zoe mused. "Is your shell telling you anything, Grace?" "I don't think we're going to need the shell's help." Sofia laughed. "Look!" A pod of very excited-looking dolphins raced through the sparkling water. Grace loved dolphins and knew a lot about them. But she'd never seen dolphins like these. They looked like they were made from pure silver, etched with delicate swirls. Their fins were as clear as crystal.

“太美了!”索菲亚叹了口气说，声音听起来像瀑布。 “我想知道这些钻石海豚在哪里?”佐伊沉思。 “你的壳告诉你什么了吗，格蕾丝?”“我认为我们不需要贝壳的帮助。” 索非亚笑了。“看!”一群看起来非常兴奋的海豚在波光粼粼的水中奔跑。 格蕾丝喜欢海豚，对它们也很了解。 但她从未见过这样的海豚。 它们看起来像是纯银做的，上面刻着精致的漩涡。 它们的鳍像水晶一样清澈。

"Stay very still," Zoe whispered as the dolphins came closer. "They might be scared of us." But the dolphins were clearly not afraid! Soon Grace, Zoe, and Sofia were surrounded by chattering silver dolphins. They circled the Sea Dragons, staring at them curiously. "Hi! You must be the Diamond Dolphins," Grace said as one dolphin studied her wings in wonder.

“保持静止，”当海豚靠近时，佐伊低声说。 “他们可能害怕我们。” 但海豚显然并不害怕!很快，格蕾丝、佐伊和索菲亚就被叽叽喳喳的银海豚包围了。 他们围着海龙转，好奇地盯着它们看。 “嗨!你们一定是钻石海豚，”格蕾丝说，一只海豚惊奇地研究着自己的翅膀。
