4 Shaking Like a Leaf

CHAPTER 4

第四章

Shaking Like a Leaf Lucas and Clara galloped alongside the team of knights into the forest of Trellis. "Be on the lookout for anything unusual," Dame Laurel called to the others. Not far into the woods Ruskin got spooked. That's odd, Lucas thought. I wonder what scared him. The young dragon flew to the safety of his master and landed on the back of Lucas's horse.

卢卡斯和克拉拉和一队骑士一起飞奔进了格里斯森林。 “注意任何不寻常的事情，”劳雷尔夫人对其他人喊道。 刚进树林，罗斯金就被吓到了。 这真奇怪，卢卡斯想。 我想知道是什么吓到他了。小龙飞到了主人的安全地带，落在了卢卡斯的马背上。

"What's wrong?" Lucas called over his shoulder. Ruskin whimpered and leaned in close against Lucas's back. Does Ruskin sense something we can't see? the prince wondered. Lucas scanned the forest again. Everything seemed normal to him except that he did not see any sign of villagers or homes. Where was Trellis, anyway? "Look at the trees!" Clara cried suddenly. "There's something wrong about the way the leaves are blowing. They are moving in the opposite direction of the wind." Sir Desdan looked at the trees and roared with laughter. "You're right! The leaves are shaking in the breeze—shaking like scared little children!" he mocked. Then he laughed even harder.

“怎么了?”卢卡斯回头叫道。 罗斯金呜咽着，靠在卢卡斯的背上。 罗斯金感觉到什么我们看不见的东西吗？ 王子纳闷。卢卡斯又扫视了一下森林。 在他看来，一切似乎都很正常，只是没有看到任何村民或房屋的迹象。 到底格里斯在哪儿？ “看那些树！”克拉拉突然叫了起来。 “树叶吹的方式有点不对劲。 它们与风的方向相反。” 德斯丹爵士望着树林，放声大笑。 “你是对的!树叶在微风中颤抖——像受惊的小孩子一样颤抖！”他嘲笑道。 然后他笑得更厉害了。
