《龙女孩》第八册玛蒂·玛拉著《月光龙菲比》

1 The full moon was rising as Phoebe got ready for bed. Tonight it looked closer than usual. The moonlight shone through her window, bathing her room in a beautiful silvery glow that felt magical. Phoebe wasn't a big fan of the dark. In fact, she hated it! But when the moon was big and round like this, it was like having a night-light on. It kept her company and made her feel safe. Phoebe put her jeans and T-shirt in the laundry basket and slipped into her pajamas. They were

菲比准备睡觉时，满月正在升起。 今晚它看起来比平常更接近。 月光照进她的窗户，把她的房间沐浴在美丽的银色光芒中，感觉很神奇。 菲比不太喜欢黑暗。 事实上，她讨厌它!但当月亮又大又圆的时候，就像有一盏夜灯亮着一样。 它陪伴着她，让她感到安全。 菲比把牛仔裤和t恤放进洗衣篮里，然后穿上睡衣。 他们是

her favorite ones, with a swirling galaxy design. Often when she wore them, Phoebe would have dreams about being in a rocket ship, shooting through space. In these dreams, Phoebe was always with her best friends, Rosie and Stella. The three girls did everything together, including Sleepover Club most Friday nights. The original idea had been that they'd take turns sleeping at one another's houses, but Phoebe often

她最喜欢的，有旋涡星系的设计。 当菲比穿着它们的时候，她经常会梦见自己在一艘火箭飞船上，在太空中飞驰。 在这些梦里，菲比总是和她最好的朋友罗茜和斯特拉在一起。 这三个女孩做什么都在一起，包括大多数周五晚上的“过夜俱乐部”。 最初的想法是他们轮流睡在对方家里，但菲比经常这样做

asked Rosie and Stella to sleep at hers. Sometimes she got homesick, especially in the middle of the night when everything was dark and quiet. She felt more relaxed when Sleepover Club was at her home. Then she could make sure that her bedroom door was open just the right amount so that the light from the hallway filtered in. And secretly, she liked knowing her parents were only a couple of rooms away. At the most recent sleepover, something very strange had happened. Phoebe, Rosie, and Stella had been transported to a magical forest. And in that forest, they had become Dragon Girls! Not just any dragons, either. They were Night Dragons. Their adventure had been like the best dream ever, except it had actually happened. Phoebe loved feeling so powerful. She often felt nervous in her normal life, but nothing was scary when you were as strong as a dragon. And the flying! It had been a little difficult at first, but the more she practiced, the better she became. Phoebe often dreamed about flying, so actually

让罗西和斯特拉在她家过夜。 有时她会想家，尤其是在夜深人静的时候。 当“过夜俱乐部”在她家时，她感到更放松。 然后她可以确保卧室的门开得恰到好处，这样走廊上的光线就能照进来。 私下里，她喜欢知道她的父母就住在几个房间之外。 在最近的一次过夜聚会上，发生了一件非常奇怪的事情。 菲比、罗茜和斯特拉被送到了一个神奇的森林。 在那片森林里，她们变成了龙女!也不是普通的龙。 他们是夜龙。他们的冒险就像做梦一样美妙，只不过它真的发生了。 菲比喜欢这种强大的感觉。 她在平时的生活中经常感到紧张，但当你像龙一样强壮时，什么都不可怕。 还有飞行!一开始有点困难，但她练习得越多，就越好。 菲比经常梦到飞，所以实际上

doing it was incredible. Especially with her friends by her side. Phoebe pulled on her robe and went to stand by her window. She opened it so the night air flowed in. It had been a warm day, and the evening had yet to cool down completely. Phoebe leaned against her windowsill, looking out over the neighbors' yards. The Tree Queen, the ruler of the Magic Forest, had told Phoebe and her friends that they would be needed again soon. Phoebe had been worried when she first heard that they were going on a quest. She did not think of herself as brave. But when the Tree Queen explained that the evil Fire Queen was trying to banish nighttime from the Magic Forest, she knew they had to help. Even though Phoebe didn't like the dark, there were still lots of things she loved about nighttime. Sleepover Club, for instance! Gazing up at the moon each night was wonderful, too, seeing it wax and wane. She also loved snuggling up in her comfy bed and feeling like she was floating on a cloud as she fell asleep. And the way that her

这样做是不可思议的。尤其是有她的朋友在身边。 菲比穿上长袍，站到窗前。 她打开门，让夜晚的空气进来。 那天天气很暖和，晚上还没有完全凉下来。 菲比靠在窗台上，望着邻居的院子。 树女王，魔法森林的统治者，告诉菲比和她的朋友们，很快就会再次需要他们。 菲比第一次听说他们要去探险时很担心。 她认为自己并不勇敢。 但当树女王解释说邪恶的火女王正试图从魔法森林中驱逐黑夜时，她知道他们必须帮忙。 尽管菲比不喜欢黑暗，但她还是有很多喜欢夜晚的地方。 比如，“过夜俱乐部”!每天晚上仰望月亮，看着它盈盈亏缺，也是一件美妙的事。 她也喜欢依偎在舒适的床上，睡着时感觉自己漂浮在云端。 还有她的方式

dreams took her to all kinds of wild places? That was worth fighting for! As Phoebe looked up at the moon, she noticed that the moonlight was different somehow. Rather than its usual pale, silvery color, it was almost aqua. There was something else strange going on. Phoebe could hear distant singing. Magic Forest, Magic Forest, come explore… Phoebe felt a tingle of excitement. She had heard that song when she traveled into the Magic Forest last time! That had been on Friday, a Sleepover Club night. But tonight was Tuesday. Was she about to return to the forest anyway? And would Rosie and Stella be there, too? Phoebe was dying to go back to the Magic Forest, but she knew she wouldn't enjoy it so much if she was alone. Magic Forest, Magic Forest, come explore… The song was louder now. The aqua light from the moon seemed to be shining directly on

梦想把她带到了各种各样的荒野? 这是值得为之奋斗的!菲比抬头望着月亮，她注意到月光不知怎么的不一样了。 它不像往常那样苍白、银白色，而是近乎水色。 还有其他奇怪的事情发生。 菲比能听到远处的歌声。 魔法森林，魔法森林，来探索吧……菲比感到一阵兴奋。 她上次进魔法森林的时候听到过这首歌!那是在周五，一个通宵俱乐部的夜晚。 但今晚是星期二。她是要回到森林里去吗? 罗茜和斯特拉也会去吗? 菲比渴望回到魔法森林，但她知道，如果独自一人，她不会那么喜欢。 魔法森林，魔法森林，来探索吧……歌声更响了。 月亮的水光似乎直接照在我身上
