6 Shapes in the Clouds

CHAPTER 6

第六章

Shapes in the Clouds "We have no time to lose!" Lucas cried, running up the gangplank with the others close behind him. They cast off and headed east in a blustery wind. The ship creaked and heeled to one side. Whitecaps foamed on the crests of the dark green waves. The sun poked out between clouds, and its rays shimmered like spotlights on the water.

“我们不能再浪费时间了！”卢卡斯喊道，跑上跳板，其他人紧跟在他后面。 他们扬帆起航，在狂风中向东驶去。 船嘎吱嘎吱地向一边倾斜。 深绿色的浪尖上泛起白浪。 太阳从云层间探出头来，光线像聚光灯一样在水面上闪烁。

Falsk stayed close to Clara, who leaned on the rail and studied the choppy water for clues. "Do you think I'll ever see my fairy friends again?" Falsk asked sorrowfully. "What if the last thing they remember about me is how I tricked Amber Quill into jumping into a mud puddle?" Clara looked the False Fairy in the eye. "You must think good thoughts and be strong for your fairy family,"

法尔斯克紧靠在克拉拉身边，克拉拉靠在栏杆上，研究着波涛汹涌的水面，寻找线索。 “你觉得我还能再见到我的仙女朋友吗？”福尔斯克悲伤地问。 “如果他们记得的最后一件事是我是如何骗安布尔·奎尔跳进泥坑的呢？”克拉拉直视着假仙女的眼睛。 “为了你的仙女家族，你必须要有好的想法，要坚强。”

she said. Falsk nodded as a tear rolled down her cheek. "If we do find the fairies, I promise I'll never play another prank for the rest of my life."

她说。福尔斯克点了点头，泪水顺着脸颊滚落下来。 “如果我们真的找到了仙女，我保证在我的余生中我再也不会恶作剧了。”

Then Clara held a finger to her lips. "Shh," she said. "Do you hear something?" Falsk listened. An eerie tune whistled in the wind. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Falsk knew instantly what this bewitching sound meant. "That's the song that charmed the other fairies!"

然后克拉拉把一根手指放在嘴唇上。 “嘘，”她说。“你听到什么声音了吗？”Falsk听着。 一阵诡异的曲调在风中呼啸。 Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo…… 法尔斯克立刻明白了这迷人的声音意味着什么。 “就是这首歌把其他仙女迷住了！”

Swiftly she slipped her hand into her pocket and pulled out a tuft of milkweed fluff to push into her ears. "Get below, Falsk!" the prince shouted. "Ruskin, help her down." The red dragon led Falsk into the ship's cabin to get her farther away from the strange humming sound.

她迅速把手伸进口袋，掏出一簇马利筋绒毛塞进耳朵里。 “到下面去，法尔斯克！” “罗斯金，扶她下来。”红龙把法尔斯克带进船舱，让她远离那奇怪的嗡嗡声。
