CHAPTER 8

第八章

Olaf The ship sailed past the island of Crestwood. Dragons played on the hillsides and soared overhead. Some snoozed in caves and some under the trees of the Great Pine Forest. A volcano puffed steam from the center of the island. Soon the ship docked at Hobsgrove. A thick cloud of fog hung over the island. Even when it was sunny everywhere else, Hobsgrove was always gray.

奥拉夫：船驶过克雷斯伍德岛。 龙在山坡上嬉戏，在头顶上翱翔。 有的在洞穴里打盹，有的在大松树林的树下打盹。 火山从岛中央喷出蒸汽。 不久，船停靠在霍布斯格罗夫。 岛上笼罩着一团浓雾。 即使其他地方都是晴天，霍布斯格罗夫也总是灰蒙蒙的。

Ivy creeped up the dark walls and spires of the castle, where André and Grom, the two brothers who ruled Hobsgrove, lived. André was known to be very kind and friendly, but Grom was not. He liked to keep to himself and spent most of his time in the dreary castle basement, mixing potions. Many of the wizards on the island of Hobsgrove worked by the hearths of their thatched-roof homes. Their cauldrons bubbled with magical healing potions made for the kingdom of Wrenly. A young wizard brought Lucas and Clara to Olaf's dark, smoky house. Olaf stood over his cauldron as it foamed and frothed. Lucas asked the black-bearded

常青藤爬上了城堡黑暗的墙壁和塔尖，这里是统治霍布斯格罗夫的安德烈和格罗姆两兄弟居住的地方。 大家都知道安德烈非常善良和友好，但格罗姆却不是。 他喜欢独来独往，大部分时间都呆在沉闷的城堡地下室里调制魔药。 霍布斯格罗夫岛上的许多巫师都在他们茅草屋顶的房子的壁炉边工作。 他们的坩埚里满是为雷利王国制造的神奇治疗药水。 一个年轻的巫师把卢卡斯和克拉拉带到奥拉夫黑暗、烟雾弥漫的房子里。 奥拉夫站在他的坩埚旁，看着它不停地冒着泡沫。 卢卡斯问黑胡子

wizard if he had the missing emerald. The wizard shook his head glumly. "No," he said. "That dreadful witch from Bogburp cursed me with clumsiness years ago." "What does that have to do with the missing emerald?" asked Clara. The wizard looked at them with sad brown eyes. "The emerald fell from my hand after I returned home

如果他有丢失的祖母绿。 巫师闷闷不乐地摇了摇头。 “不，”他说。“多年前，博格伯那个可怕的女巫诅咒我笨手笨脚。” “这和丢失的祖母绿有什么关系？”克拉拉问。 巫师用忧郁的棕色眼睛看着他们。 “我回家后，翡翠从我手中掉了下来

from Burth. It tumbled over Hob's Cliff and into the sea." "Oh no!" Lucas cried. "That emerald belonged to my mother, Queen Tasha." "That's most unfortunate," said the wizard. "Do tell her I'm sorry."

从Burth。它滚下了霍布崖，掉进了海里。” “哦,不!”卢卡斯哭了。“那颗翡翠是我母亲塔莎王后的。” “那太不幸了。”巫师说。 “一定要告诉她我很抱歉。”

Lucas kicked a stone on the path as he and Clara headed back to the dock. "What are we going to do now?" he asked. "Go diving for it?" "I have a better idea," said Clara. "Let's go to Mermaid's Cove." "What for?"

卢卡斯在和克拉拉返回码头的路上踢了一块石头。 “我们现在该怎么办？”他问。 “去潜水找它？”“我有一个更好的主意，”克拉拉说。 “我们去美人鱼湾吧。” “什么?”
