Chapter 3

3 Aisha landed gently in the snow beside the force field. PlushyPup hovered by her face, pushing his fuzzy snout against her cheek. "I can't go in the glade," he explained, "but I'll see you again soon."

艾莎轻轻地落在了力场旁边的雪地上。 毛绒狗在她的脸旁徘徊，把毛茸茸的鼻子贴在她的脸颊上。 “我不能去林间空地，”他解释说，“但我很快就会再见到你的。”

With his fluffy tail wagging at full speed, the puppy flew off. Aisha was sad to see him go, but she was thrilled to be going into the glade. It looked so lovely and warm in there, for one thing! She pushed one paw through the force field. Instantly, warmth covered it like a glove. She pulled her paw out again and it was wrapped in

小狗全速摇着毛茸茸的尾巴飞走了。 看到他离开，艾莎很难过，但能走进林间空地，她又很兴奋。 首先，它看起来是那么可爱和温暖!她伸出一只爪子穿过力场。 瞬间，温暖像手套一样覆盖了它。 她又把爪子抽出来，爪子被裹住了

cold once more. The glade formed an unchanging bubble of perfect spring weather. Aisha poked her head through the dancing air of the force field. It was strange to have her face so warm while the rest of her was so cold. Two dragons already hovered in the glade, just above the lush grass, watching Aisha closely. One dragon was the bright color of rubies, and the other was a rich jade green. Mei, the ruby dragon, and Quinn, the jade dragon, were Aisha's friends from jewelry class. You could tell they were Treasure Dragons because they had silver and gold on their wings, like Aisha. "Is the rest of you coming in, too?" Mei asked, looking like she was trying very hard not to laugh. "We have a quest to go on, you know." "Oops! Sorry," said Aisha, stepping completely into the glade and warming up her whole body. As she did, the majestic tree in the center began to sway. The wooden branches softened into long

又冷了。林间空地形成了一个一成不变的泡泡，充满了完美的春天天气。 艾莎把她的头伸到力场中舞动的空气中。 奇怪的是，她的脸如此温暖，而她的其他部分却如此寒冷。 两条龙已经在林间空地上徘徊，就在茂盛的草地上，密切地注视着艾莎。 一条龙是明亮的红宝石色，另一条是丰富的玉绿。 红龙梅和玉龙奎恩是艾莎在珠宝课上的朋友。 你可以看出它们是藏宝龙，因为它们的翅膀上有金银，就像艾莎一样。 “你们其他人也要进来吗?”梅问道，看起来她很努力地忍住不笑。 “你知道，我们还有一段路要走。” “哎呀!对不起。”艾莎说，她完全走进空地，全身都暖和起来。 当她这样做的时候，中心那棵雄伟的树开始摇晃起来。 木头树枝变软了

arms, the leaves of the tree turned into flowing hair, and a kind, ageless face appeared. Within moments, the tall tree had transformed into the Tree Queen! Her warm brown eyes greeted each of them in turn. "Welcome back, Treasure Dragons! I'm relieved you're here. As I am sure you've noticed, the Magic Forest is not as it should be. A strange winter has arrived. The snow is spreading far and wide." "I've heard that the Shadow Sprites are stronger in winter," said Aisha. "It's true," agreed the Tree Queen. "But that's not all. The snow makes it easier for the sprites to hide the objects they have stolen from the forest's vault. As you know, the longer the treasure is out of the vault, the more problems it causes for the forest. You three have already found the Forest Book, thank goodness. But now you must find the Magic Mirror. If it isn't returned to the vault soon, the Magic Forest may be wintry forever."

手臂，树叶变成了飘逸的头发，一张慈祥的、不老的脸出现了。 不一会儿，那棵高大的树就变成了树后!她温暖的棕色眼睛依次向他们每个人打招呼。 “欢迎回来，宝龙!”你来了我就放心了。 我相信你已经注意到了，魔法森林并不是它应有的样子。 一个奇怪的冬天来了。 雪正在向四面八方蔓延。” “我听说影子精灵在冬天更强大。”艾莎说。 “这是真的。”树后同意道。 “但这还不是全部。雪使精灵更容易隐藏他们从森林金库偷来的物品。 如你所知，宝藏离开金库的时间越长，给森林带来的问题就越多。 谢天谢地，你们三个已经找到了《禁林之书》。 但现在你必须找到魔镜。 如果不尽快把它放回金库，魔法森林可能永远都是冬天。”

The Treasure Dragons looked at one another in dismay. Snow could be fun, but the Magic Forest was supposed to be warm and springlike! Aisha shivered even though the air in the glade was warm. "We'll find that Magic Mirror," she vowed. "Come on, let's head off right now!" "I love your enthusiasm, Aisha." The Tree Queen smiled. "But first there are some things you need to know." The queen's wavy hair billowed in the glade's gentle breeze. "As the name suggests, this is no normal mirror. You will know when you've found it. It feels… different."

宝龙们惊愕地面面相觑。 下雪可能很有趣，但魔法森林应该是温暖的，像春天一样!尽管林间空地上的空气很暖和，艾莎还是打了个寒颤。 “我们会找到魔镜的。”她发誓。 “来吧，我们现在就出发!”“我喜欢你的热情，艾莎。” 树后笑了。“但首先有些事情你需要知道。” 王后的卷发在林间空地的微风中飘动。 顾名思义，这不是一面普通的镜子。 当你找到的时候你就知道了。 感觉……不一样。”

"Like the Forest Book was no normal book," said Mei. The Tree Queen nodded. In their last quest, the Treasure Dragons had recovered the Forest Book, an ancient and magical text that held all the secrets of the forest. "You must be on your guard at all times," continued the Tree Queen, "for the Magic Mirror is very powerful." "What does it actually do?" Quinn asked softly. She was the shy one of the group. "Good question. If you look into the mirror, you will see yourself. But you won't see how you really look. Instead, you will see all the things you worry about. If you sometimes think you have a funny nose, you will have a VERY funny nose. If you worry about not feeling brave, fear will show on your face," explained the Tree Queen. "This is why the Magic Mirror belongs in the vault. There it is safe, and useful. It reflects all the things that are starting to go wrong in the forest and shows us

梅说:“《森林之书》不是一本普通的书。” 树后点点头。在他们最后的任务中，宝龙找到了森林之书，一本古老而神奇的书，里面包含了森林的所有秘密。 “你们必须时刻保持警惕，”树后继续说，“因为魔镜是非常强大的。” “它到底是做什么的?”奎因轻声问道。 她是那群人中害羞的一个。 “好问题。如果你照镜子，你会看到你自己。 但你不会看到你真正的样子。 相反，你会看到所有你担心的事情。 如果你有时认为你的鼻子很滑稽，你的鼻子就会很滑稽。 如果你担心自己不够勇敢，恐惧就会表现在你的脸上。”树后解释说。 “这就是魔镜应该放在金库里的原因。 在那里它是安全的，有用的。 它反映了森林中开始出现问题的所有事情，并向我们展示了
