05 Into the Maze

CHAPTER 5 INTO THE MAZE Tag woke early the next morning. He checked that the stone was safe inside his sack. Then he woke Skyla and Blaze. "Time to go," he whispered. "We should make a plan," Skyla suggested, "to make sure we don't get lost in this ice cavern just like that little seal named Coralie." "Peep!" Blaze agreed.

第五章进入迷宫第二天，泰格很早就醒了。 他检查了一下石头是否安全地装在他的袋子里。 然后他叫醒了斯凯拉和布雷兹。 “该走了。”他低声说。 “我们应该制定一个计划，”斯凯拉建议道，“确保我们不会像那只名叫科拉莉的小海豹那样在这个冰洞里迷路。” “偷看!”大火同意了。

Tag pulled out a wingful of Skyla's acorns from his sack. "We could use these to mark our way." "I might need those for battle—if Thorn's spies show up," Skyla said. "Can we use berries instead?" "Okay," Tag said, jumping over a sleeping seal. "So, if we get turned around, we'll just follow the berries back to the exit." "Dark!" Blaze cried, looking up. "Dark! Dark!"

泰格从麻袋里掏出一翼斯凯拉的橡子。 “我们可以用这些标记我们的路。” “如果索恩的间谍出现的话，我可能需要这些东西。”斯凯拉说。 “我们能用浆果代替吗？”“好吧，”泰格说着跳过一只熟睡的海豹。 “所以，如果我们转过身来，我们就跟着浆果回到出口。” “黑暗!”布雷兹抬起头，叫道。 “黑暗!黑暗!”

A black cloud filled the sky. "The Shadow!" Tag shouted. As The Shadow moved slowly toward them in the distance, the sparkling white ice below turned black. "Let's go!" Skyla yelled. Blaze stood still. "Peep!" she cried, pointing her beak at the sleeping seals. "They will be safe hidden beneath the snow," Tag told her.

乌云笼罩着天空。 “影子!”泰格喊道。 当影子在远处慢慢地向他们移动时，下面闪闪发光的白色冰变成了黑色。 “我们走吧!”Skyla喊道。火焰一动不动地站着。 “嘘！”她叫道，用嘴指着熟睡的海豹。 “他们会安全地藏在雪下，”泰格告诉她。

The three friends ran inside the largest cavern. As they walked, Skyla placed berries on the icy floor to mark their route. "It's like we're in a giant maze of mirrors!" Tag said, walking along the shiny hallways. He could see his reflection in the floor and in the walls. The friends stopped at the end of the path. It split into two. "Which way, Blaze?" Tag asked.

三个朋友跑进了最大的洞穴。 他们走着走着，斯凯拉把浆果放在结冰的地板上，标记他们的路线。 “我们就像在一个巨大的镜子迷宫里！”泰格说着，沿着闪闪发光的走廊走去。 他可以在地板和墙壁上看到自己的倒影。 朋友们在小路的尽头停了下来。 它分裂成两半。“走哪条路，火焰？”泰格要求。

Blaze hopped along one path, then shook her head. She returned to hop down the other. "Is it this way?" Skyla asked. Blaze nodded. "Peep!" Tag and Skyla followed Blaze down the winding path. Twisting and turning, up and down, left and right, until Tag stopped suddenly. "Wait! We've been this way before," Tag said. He pointed to the berries on the ground. Skyla sighed. "Maybe Blaze doesn't know the way after all?" Blaze stamped her feet. "Peep!" she cried.

火焰沿着一条小路跳着，然后摇了摇头。 她转身跳下另一条。 “是这边吗？”Skyla问道。 火焰点了点头。“偷看!”泰格和斯凯拉跟着火焰沿着蜿蜒的小路走去。 扭动着，上下左右，直到泰格突然停了下来。 “等等!我们以前也经历过这种情况。” 他指着地上的浆果。 Skyla叹了口气。“也许Blaze根本不认识路？”火焰跺着她的脚。 “嘘！”她叫道。

Tag patted Blaze on the wing. "I'm sorry, Blaze," he said. "This can't be the right way." They turned around to head back the way they came. Tag paused. "There are already berries on this path, too," he said. "Peep!" Blaze said, holding up a berry in her beak. They walked until they found another path that split into two. "There are berries here, too!" Skyla said. "How are there berries on every path?" Tag frowned. "I think we've been walking in circles! We must be lost." "Lost!" Blaze peeped. Skyla hugged her. "How will we find our way out?" Skyla asked Tag.

泰格拍了拍火焰的翅膀。 “对不起，布雷兹，”他说。 “这不可能是正确的方式。” 他们转过身来，原路返回。 泰格停顿了一下。“这条路上也已经有浆果了，”他说。 “偷看!”Blaze说，嘴里衔着一颗浆果。 他们一直走，直到找到另一条分成两条的小路。 “这里也有浆果！”Skyla说。 “怎么每条小路上都有浆果？”泰格皱起了眉头。 “我想我们一直在兜圈子！”我们一定是迷路了。” “输了!”大火里。斯凯拉拥抱了她。 “我们怎样才能找到出路呢？”斯凯拉问泰格。
