11 Hatching Day

CHAPTER 11 HATCHING DAY The Land of the Firehawks was very busy the morning of the ceremony. Skyla weaved garlands from vines and flowers to hang as decorations. Tag gathered fruit and nuts. Even Claw was helping out by keeping a close eye on the golden eggs.

第十一章孵化日举行仪式的那天上午，火鹰之地非常忙碌。 斯凯拉用藤蔓和花朵编成花环挂在墙上作为装饰。 泰格收集水果和坚果。 就连克劳也在帮忙，密切关注着金蛋。

Everyone was very excited about the ceremony, especially Blaze.

每个人都对典礼感到非常兴奋，尤其是Blaze。

"I can't wait to see the firehawk hatch!" she said. Blaze flew from one side of the temple's great hall to the other to hang up Skyla's decorations. Blaze landed next to her friends. "It was amazing when you hatched," Tag told her. "At least we know what to expect this time," Skyla said. "When your egg caught fire, we thought something terrible had happened!" Tag placed the food he had gathered into large golden bowls. He laid them out on the long table.

“我等不及要看火鹰孵化了！”她说。 火焰从神庙大厅的一边飞到另一边，把斯凯拉的装饰品挂了起来。 布雷兹落在了她的朋友们旁边。 “你孵出来的时候真是太棒了，”泰格告诉她。 “至少我们知道这次会发生什么。”斯凯拉说。 “当你的蛋着火的时候，我们以为发生了什么可怕的事情！”泰格把他收集到的食物放进大金碗里。 他把它们放在长桌上。

"The hall looks wonderful," Talia said, looking around. "It is time to begin." TOOT-TOOOOT! A loud trumpet sounded. Soon the hall was filled with hundreds of firehawks waiting for the ceremony to start. "The hatching ceremony helps new firehawks gain control over their powers right away," Talia said. "All firehawks are born into fire. It gives us strength and power. It shows us the way to the light— the way to know what is good."

“大厅看起来棒极了。”塔利亚说着环顾四周。 “是时候开始了。”TOOT-TOOOOT !一阵响亮的喇叭响起。 很快，大厅里挤满了数百只等待仪式开始的火鹰。 塔利亚说：“孵化仪式可以帮助新火鹰立即控制自己的能力。” “所有的火鹰都生在火中。 它给了我们力量和力量。 它给我们指明了通往光明的道路——一条知道什么是好的道路。”

Blaze nodded. There was another loud trumpeting sound. TOOT-TOOOOT! Two firehawks started banging on drums. They led the way through the crowd, with Talia following behind. Tag, Blaze, Skyla, and Claw walked beside the leader of the firehawks. The rest of the firehawks followed in a line.

火焰点了点头。又是一阵响亮的号角声。 TOOT-TOOOOT !两只火鹰开始敲鼓。 他们在人群中走在前面，塔利亚跟在后面。 泰格、火焰、斯凯拉和爪子走在火鹰的首领旁边。 其余的火鹰排成一行跟着。

Once everyone was outside the temple, they gathered around the nest. The six golden eggs looked shinier than ever. Tag thought they might even be glowing. "Blaze," Talia called. "Step into the nest." Tag patted Blaze's shoulder. "Good luck!" he said. Blaze smiled and climbed into the nest. The drums stopped, and everyone was silent. Then, one by one, the eggs lit up. They burst into golden flames, which reached higher and higher until Tag couldn't see Blaze anymore.

大家一出庙，就聚集在鸟巢周围。 六个金蛋看起来比以前更闪亮了。 泰格甚至认为它们可能会发光。 “火焰。”塔利亚喊道。“到巢里去。” 泰格拍了拍布雷兹的肩膀。 “祝你好运！”他说。Blaze笑了笑，爬进了鸟巢。 鼓声停了，大家都沉默了。 然后，鸡蛋一个接一个地亮了起来。 他们突然爆发出金色的火焰，火焰越升越高，直到泰格再也看不到火焰了。
