Chapter 6

6 The sharks silently swam closer. The closer they got, the more Grace wanted to swim off with the dolphins! But she reminded herself that she was a Sea Dragon. Just thinking that made her feel braver. She took a deep breath. "Stay calm," FinFin reminded her gently.

鲨鱼悄悄地游近了。 他们越靠近，格蕾丝就越想和海豚一起游走!但她提醒自己，她是海龙。 我只是觉得这让她更勇敢了。 她深吸了一口气。“保持冷静，”芬芬温柔地提醒她。

Grace nodded, but it wasn't easy when there were sharks approaching! She knew nerves were not such a bad thing. She often felt nervous before a swim meet. It helped her think and move fast! Zoe and Sofia appeared on either side of Grace. "We've got this," Zoe said steadily. "We're almost as big as those sharks." "Totally," Sofia agreed. "Plus, we can roar!" Grace felt a wave of relief. Facing off against a school of Shiver Sharks was the scariest thing she'd ever done. But it was so much better having friends to share in the adventure. Grace puffed out her chest and spread her wings wide, making herself as big as she could. "Stop right there, Shiver Sharks!" she called. "We need to talk to you."

格蕾丝点了点头，但当鲨鱼靠近时，这并不容易!她知道紧张并不是一件坏事。 她在游泳比赛前经常感到紧张。 这有助于她思考和快速行动!佐伊和索菲亚分别出现在格蕾丝的两边。 “我们能搞定，”佐伊坚定地说。 “我们几乎和那些鲨鱼一样大。” “完全正确，”索菲亚表示同意。“另外，我们还能吼叫!”格蕾丝感到如释重负。 面对一群颤抖的鲨鱼是她做过的最可怕的事情。 但有朋友一起分享冒险的感觉要好得多。 格蕾丝鼓起她的胸膛，展开她的翅膀，使自己尽可能大。 “站住，颤抖的鲨鱼!”她喊道。 “我们需要和你谈谈。”

To her surprise, the sharks stopped instantly. Even more surprising was what happened next. The sharks began to shiver! "That's weird. Are they cold?" Zoe muttered. "I can hear their teeth chattering." "I think they might be scared!" Sofia whispered. Grace stared at the huge creatures. It seemed impossible, but the Shiver Sharks did look like

令她惊讶的是，鲨鱼立即停止了。 更令人惊讶的是接下来发生的事情。 鲨鱼开始颤抖了!“这是奇怪的。 它们冷吗?”佐伊嘟囔着。 “我能听到他们的牙齿在打战。” “我想他们可能害怕了!”索非亚低声说。 格蕾丝盯着这些巨大的生物。 这似乎是不可能的，但颤栗鲨看起来确实像

they were trembling with fear. Grace risked swimming a little bit closer. Instantly, the sharks shrieked and disappeared into the gloomy depths. "Please don't come any closer!" one of them called in a shaky voice. "What's wrong?" Grace asked. "You're Shiver Sharks. You're the scariest creatures in the sea!" One of the sharks, who was speckled with light green dots, came closer. "You have that all wrong. Everyone does. We're not the scariest creatures. We're the most scared ones!" Grace was so surprised she burst out laughing. "Don't laugh," said the green-spotted shark. "Everyone we meet says we're terrifying. All the other sea creatures swim off, screaming, when we approach. How do you think that makes us feel? The screaming hurts our ears. And it makes us so jumpy." "Sorry," Zoe said gently, swimming up beside Grace. "The Diamond Dolphins told us you were

他们吓得发抖。 格蕾丝冒险游得更近了一点。 鲨鱼立刻尖叫起来，消失在阴暗的深海里。 “请不要再靠近了!”其中一个声音颤抖地喊道。 “怎么了?”恩问。 “你们是颤抖鲨鱼。你们是海里最可怕的生物!”其中一条身上有淡绿色斑点的鲨鱼走近了。 “你完全搞错了。每个人都一样。 我们不是最可怕的生物。 我们是最害怕的人!”格蕾丝惊讶得大笑起来。 “别笑，”绿斑鲨鱼说。 “我们遇到的每个人都说我们很可怕。 当我们靠近时，其他的海洋生物都尖叫着游开了。 你觉得我们会怎么想? 尖叫声伤了我们的耳朵。 这让我们很紧张。” “对不起，”佐伊轻轻地说，游到格蕾丝身边。 “钻石海豚队告诉我们你是

scary." "You shouldn't believe everything you're told," another shark said, sliding up beside the green-spotted one. "You do look very scary," Sofia added. "Well, we're not. Shiver Sharks are vegetarians, you know. And we're very shy. We keep trying to invite the dolphins to Shark City for tea and races so they can see that we're not scary. It takes a lot of courage for us to do that. We get so nervous!" "We hate being rejected," said a sad-looking shark. "Whenever we work up the courage to ask them, they just swim off. It's not very polite!" "It is kind of rude," Sofia agreed. "Poor sharks. How about we visit your city instead? Would you like that?" "You mean it?" the spotted shark asked. A murmur of excitement rippled through the group. "We've never had visitors before!" "I would have cleaned up!"

可怕的。”“你不应该相信别人告诉你的一切，”另一条鲨鱼说，滑到绿斑鲨鱼旁边。 “你看起来确实很可怕，”索菲亚补充道。 “嗯，我们不是。你知道，颤鲨是素食者。 我们都很害羞。我们一直试图邀请海豚来鲨鱼城喝茶和比赛，这样它们就能看到我们并不可怕。 我们需要很大的勇气去做这件事。 我们太紧张了!”“我们讨厌被拒绝，”一条愁眉苦脸的鲨鱼说。 “每当我们鼓起勇气问它们时，它们就游走了。 这是不礼貌的!”“这有点粗鲁，”索菲亚同意道。 “可怜的鲨鱼。我们去你的城市怎么样? 你喜欢吗?”“你是说真的吗?”斑点鲨问道。 一阵兴奋的低语声在人群中荡漾。 “我们以前从来没有来过客人!”“我会打扫的!”

"Will you stay for tea and races?" asked another shark. "We make the best sea tea. And racing is our favorite pastime." Grace looked over at Sofia. The Shiver Sharks didn't seem very frightening. But did they want to visit a whole city full of them? And did they have time? They had a dolphin leader to rescue. FinFin murmured in Grace's ear. "It's a good idea. That way you can make sure they don't have the Sea Keeper." Grace nodded. She did not think the Shiver Sharks had taken the dolphin leader. But FinFin was right. It was a good idea to check. "This way!" called the sharks excitedly. They had all stopped shivering. Instead, they swished their tails happily. The three Sea Dragons followed along behind. Grace still felt a little worried. She really hoped this wasn't a trap! But they needed to find the dolphin leader, and visiting Shark City would give them the perfect chance to look.

“你愿意留下来喝茶和比赛吗?”另一条鲨鱼问。 “我们做的海茶是最好的。 赛车是我们最喜欢的消遣。” 格蕾丝看着索菲亚。 颤栗鲨看起来并不是很可怕。 但是他们想参观一个充满了这些人的城市吗? 他们有时间吗?他们有一个海豚首领要救。 芬芬在格蕾丝耳边低声说。 “这是个好主意。这样你就可以确保他们没有海洋守护者。” 优雅的点了点头。她不认为寒颤鲨抓走了海豚首领。 但FinFin是对的。检查一下是个好主意。 “这边!”鲨鱼兴奋地叫道。 他们都停止了颤抖。 相反，它们高兴地摇着尾巴。 三只海龙跟在后面。 格蕾丝还是有点担心。 她真希望这不是一个陷阱!但他们需要找到海豚首领，而参观鲨鱼城将给他们一个绝佳的观察机会。
