10 The Invisible Wall

CHAPTER 10 THE INVISIBLE WALL The friends stared at the rushing water. "How can we cross the waterfall?" Tag asked. "There's no bridge." "We will have to fly over it," Blaze said. Tag noticed the dark smudge on the edge of the paper again. "What if there's something bad waiting for us on the other side?"

朋友们凝视着奔涌的河水。 “我们怎样才能穿过瀑布呢？”标签要求。 “没有桥。”“我们必须飞过它，”布雷兹说。 泰格又注意到纸边的黑点。 “如果另一边有不好的事情等着我们怎么办？”

"What if my family is over there?" Blaze replied. She gave the paper to Tag, and he tucked it back in his sack. Blaze opened her wings. She took off, so Tag followed. "We'll be right back!" Tag called out to Skyla, who watched from the edge of the water. But as soon as Blaze and Tag got close to the waterfall, a great wind and spray of water pushed them back. They tried again but it felt like there was an invisible wall holding them back.

“如果我的家人在那里怎么办？”大火答道。 她把那张纸给了泰格，他把它塞回了自己的口袋里。 火焰张开了翅膀。她走了，泰格也跟着走了。 “我们马上回来！”泰格向在水边观望的斯凯拉喊道。 但布莱泽和泰格刚接近瀑布，一阵大风和水花就把他们推了回去。 他们又试了一次，但感觉有一堵看不见的墙挡住了他们。

"It's no good," Tag said, landing back where they'd begun. "We'll have to find another way." "Skyla?" Blaze called out. Skyla was nowhere to be seen. "Over here!" she replied, poking her head out of some bushes a little farther down. "I found a secret path behind the waterfall. We should follow it." "Are you sure you can do this?" Tag asked. He knew Skyla was terrified of water. Skyla nodded. "It may be the only way across."

“不行，”泰格说，回到了他们出发的地方。 “我们得另想办法。” “Skyla ?”火焰喊道。 斯凯拉不见了。 “在这里！”她回答道，把头从矮树丛里探了出来。 “我在瀑布后面发现了一条秘密小路。 我们应该遵循它。”“你确定你能做到吗？”标签要求。 他知道斯凯拉怕水。 Skyla点点头。“这可能是过河的唯一办法。”

Tag and Blaze followed her through the bushes and onto a narrow ledge behind the waterfall. They carefully shuffled along, staying close to the rock wall. Whooooooooooo! A whistling sound filled the air.

泰格和布雷兹跟着她穿过灌木丛，来到瀑布后面的一个狭窄的岩架上。 他们小心翼翼地拖着脚步走着，紧贴着岩壁。 Whooooooooooo !空气中充满了呼啸的声音。

The wind blew harder and harder. It's strange for the wind to be so strong back here, Tag thought. It's as if someone—or something— doesn't want us to reach the other side. He held on to Blaze and Skyla so that they weren't swept over the waterfall.

风刮得越来越厉害。 泰格想，这儿的风这么大，真奇怪。 就好像有人——或者有什么东西——不想让我们到达另一边。 他抓住布雷兹和斯凯拉，这样他们就不会被冲下瀑布。

The water fell faster and heavier beside them. The roar of the water filled the air. "Watch out!" Blaze shouted. Just then, the strange and powerful wind swept the wall of water into one gigantic wave. It surged toward them. "Get beneath my wings!" Blaze yelled.

他们身边的水落得又快又重。 水的轰鸣声充满了空气。 “小心!”大火喊道。 就在这时，一阵奇怪而猛烈的风把水墙吹成一个巨大的波浪。 它向他们涌来。“到我翅膀下面去！”大火喊道。
