Chapter 3

3 Rosie landed gently on the grass and turned to face the force field. The air shimmered before her. Carefully, she pressed a paw against the glowing screen. It went right through! Rosie could faintly see her paw on the other side. Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, Rosie walked into the force field. Her scales tingled as she passed

罗茜轻轻地落在草地上，转身面对着力场。 空气在她面前闪烁。 她小心翼翼地把一只爪子贴在发光的屏幕上。 它直接穿过去了!罗茜能隐约看到她的爪子在另一边。 深吸一口气，闭上眼睛，罗茜走进了力场。 当她经过时，她的鳞片感到刺痛

through the shining air. It felt like stepping into a magic sunset. When she opened her eyes, Rosie cried out in delight. She was in the most beautiful glade filled with sweet-smelling flowers and colorful butterflies. Everything glowed gold in the rich twilight. Nearby was a deep pond, its water so clear that Rosie could see jewel-like fish swimming just below the surface. And there, right in the middle of the glade, grew a magnificent tree. Rosie couldn't stop looking at its branches, laden with rustling leaves and fresh blossoms. In fact, Rosie was so entranced that it took her a moment to notice that she wasn't alone. Two other dragons were in the glade! One had a crescent moon on her forehead, and the other had a bright, shining star on hers. The dragons were also different colors than Rosie. The moon dragon was the soft, glowing blues and whites of moonlight. The star dragon was deep purple and gleaming

透过闪亮的空气。感觉就像走进了一个神奇的日落。 罗茜睁开眼睛，高兴得叫了起来。 她在最美丽的林间空地上，到处是芬芳的花朵和五颜六色的蝴蝶。 一切都在朦胧的暮色中闪闪发光。 附近是一个很深的池塘，水是如此清澈，罗茜可以看到宝石般的鱼在水面下游泳。 在那里，就在空地的中央，长着一棵雄伟的树。 罗茜不停地看着它的树枝，上面挂满了沙沙作响的树叶和鲜花。 事实上，罗茜是如此着迷，以至于过了一会儿她才注意到她并不孤单。 林中空地上还有两条龙!一个额头上有一轮新月，另一个额头上有一颗闪亮的星星。 龙的颜色也和罗茜不一样。 月亮龙是柔和的，闪烁的蓝色和白色的月光。 这条星龙是深紫色的，闪闪发光

yellow. Both dragons glimmered in the twilight. They were looking around in the same amazed way that Rosie was. "Hi! Are you Night Dragons?" Rosie called. "I hope that you guys know what is going on, because I'm new here." "Rosie?" the star dragon asked. "It's me, Stella! And this is Phoebe. We just got here as well. Isn't

黄色的。两条龙在暮色中闪闪发光。 他们像罗茜一样惊奇地环顾四周。 “嗨!你们是暗夜龙吗?”罗西。 “我希望你们知道发生了什么，因为我是新来的。” “罗茜?”星龙问道。 “是我，斯特拉!”这是菲比。 我们也刚到这里。不是

this wild? We're DRAGONS!" Rosie felt a surge of happiness. There was only one thing better than coming to this magical place and discovering she was a dragon: discovering that her friends were, too! She rushed over and wrapped a wing over each of them. She figured that was probably how dragons hugged. "I'm SO happy to see you!" she roared. "Roaring is fun, isn't it?" Stella laughed. "It really is," agreed Phoebe. "Almost as good as flying!" The three friends roared as loudly as they could, until the air was filled with swirling pinks and purples and blues. Rosie suddenly stopped. "Oops! I just remembered. I was told to come here to meet the Tree Queen. We probably shouldn't be messing around. She might catch us being silly." Just then, something extraordinary happened. The majestic tree in the center of the glade began to sway back and forth. Its leaves rustled and

这个野生?我们龙!”罗茜感到一阵幸福。 只有一件事比来到这个神奇的地方，发现自己是一条龙更好:发现她的朋友也是一条龙!她冲过去，给他们每人裹上一只翅膀。 她想这可能是龙拥抱的方式。 “见到你我太高兴了!”她吼道。 “咆哮很有趣，不是吗?”斯特拉笑了。 “真的。”菲比同意。 “几乎和飞一样好!”三个朋友尽可能大声地咆哮，直到空气中充满了旋转的粉红色、紫色和蓝色。 罗茜突然停住了。“哎呀!我刚想起来。 有人叫我来这里见树后。 我们也许不应该瞎胡闹。 她会发现我们犯傻的。” 就在这时，不寻常的事情发生了。 林间空地中央那棵雄伟的树开始前后摇摆。 树叶沙沙作响

shook. To Rosie's amazement, the tree began to change. The trunk became a flowing dress, and two of the strong branches transformed into elegant arms. Moments later, a regal-looking figure appeared before them. Half woman and half tree. Her kind, wise eyes twinkled. "Welcome, Night Dragons," she said in a warm, woody sort of voice. "I am the Tree Queen of the Magic Forest. I am so pleased you are here. And I am delighted to hear that you are so good at roaring. That will be useful on your quest." Rosie and her friends looked at one another and laughed. The Tree Queen had heard them! She didn't seem upset, though. Rosie felt questions burning inside her. Maybe it wasn't polite to ask questions of a Tree Queen. But Rosie found it impossible to hold them in! "What IS this quest, exactly?" she asked. The Tree Queen's face became serious. "You have probably noticed that it is twilight here," she

震动。令罗茜吃惊的是，这棵树开始发生变化。 树干变成了一件飘逸的衣服，两根粗壮的树枝变成了优雅的手臂。 片刻之后，一个帝王般的身影出现在他们面前。 一半是女人一半是树。她那双善良、睿智的眼睛闪闪发亮。 “欢迎你们，夜龙们。”她用一种温暖而木然的声音说。 “我是魔法森林的树女王。 我很高兴你能来。 我很高兴听到你这么擅长咆哮。 这对你的探索很有用。” 罗茜和她的朋友们面面相觑，哈哈大笑。 树后听到了!不过，她似乎并不难过。 罗茜感到心中的疑问在燃烧。 也许问树后问题是不礼貌的。 但是罗茜发现不可能控制住他们!“这个任务到底是什么?”她问。 树后的脸变得严肃起来。 “你可能已经注意到这里已经是黄昏了，”她说

said, her leaves swaying gently. "Yes! I love this time of day," said Rosie. "It's just always too short." "Usually it is," agreed the Tree Queen. "But right now, we have the opposite problem. We are stuck in twilight and cannot move on to night." "That's weird," said Stella. "Why?" "It's the work of the Fire Queen and her Fire Sparks," the Tree Queen said.

说着，她的叶子轻轻摇曳。 “是啊!我喜欢一天中的这个时间，”罗西说。 “它总是太短。” “通常是这样。”树后同意道。 “但现在，我们面临着相反的问题。 我们被困在暮色中，无法进入黑夜。” “真奇怪，”斯特拉说。 “为什么?”“这是火女王和她的火花的杰作。”树女王说。
