6 The Golden Fleece

Chapter 6 The Golden Fleece Aeetes was annoyed but he had one last task up his sleeve. "You still have to fight the snake that guards the Golden Fleece," he told Jason. "I bet you can't do that."

第六章金羊毛埃厄忒斯很恼火，但他还有最后一件事要做。 “你还得和守护金羊毛的蛇战斗，”他告诉杰森。 “我打赌你做不到。”

But then, Aeetes began to worry. What if Jason had magic powers? "I'm not taking any chances," he said to himself. He called his army. Tonight, you must burn the Argo and kill all her crew! Medea overheard him. She turned white and rushed from the palace.

但随后，埃厄忒斯开始担心起来。 如果杰森有魔力呢？ “我可不想冒险，”他自言自语道。 他召集了他的军队。今晚，你必须烧掉阿尔戈号，杀死所有船员！美狄亚听到了他的话。 她脸色发白，冲出了宫殿。

Medea ran all the way to the Argo. "Jason! Jason!" she called. "My father is plotting to burn your ship!" We have to get the fleece now! "Hide the Argo," Jason ordered his crew hurriedly. Then he followed Medea into the woods.

美狄亚一路跑向阿尔戈号。 “杰森!杰森！”她喊道。 “我父亲正密谋烧掉你的船！”我们现在得去取羊毛！“把阿尔戈号藏起来，”伊阿宋赶紧命令他的船员。 然后他跟着美狄亚进了树林。

Deep in the dark woods stood a massive oak tree. The Golden Fleece hung from its branches, glittering in the moonlight. But the snake on guard was vast. Jason stared. It was the biggest snake he'd ever seen... as big as a dragon!

在黑暗的树林深处矗立着一棵巨大的橡树。 金羊毛挂在树枝上，在月光下闪闪发光。 但是那条站岗的蛇是巨大的。 杰森盯着。这是他见过的最大的蛇…… 像龙一样大！

As Jason and Medea approached, the snake hissed and bared its fangs. Then it slithered up to them, its scales rattling. "Don't worry," said Medea bravely. She began to sing.

当伊阿宋和美狄亚走近时，蛇发出嘶嘶声，露出了它的毒牙。 然后它爬向他们，它的鳞片格格作响。 “别担心，”美狄亚勇敢地说。 她开始唱歌。

Slowly, the snake's eyes closed. It was asleep. Jason scrambled up the tree and grabbed the fleece.

慢慢地，蛇的眼睛闭上了。 它睡着了。伊阿宋爬上树，抓起羊毛。
