2 En Garde!

CHAPTER 2

第二章

En Garde! "Long ago, there was little peace in the kingdom of Wrenly," Clara began. "The king, together with the Great Dragon of Crestwood, formed a sacred band of knights called the Knight Spires of Wrenly." Lucas made a fist. "They are the greatest knights of all time! Instead of riding horses, they ride powerful creatures, like bears and tigers!"

警戒!“很久以前，兰利王国几乎没有和平，”克拉拉开始说。 “国王和克雷斯渥的巨龙，组成了一支神圣的骑士队伍，叫做雷利的骑士尖塔。” 卢卡斯握紧了拳头。“他们是有史以来最伟大的骑士！”他们骑的不是马，而是强大的动物，比如熊和老虎！”

Clara nodded. "That's right! And the Great Dragon of Crestwood chose only the best knights from across the land to be a part of the Knight Spires. Their job was to be the ultimate defenders of the kingdom." Tublock sat down with a whump. Clara continued, "This year the Knight Spires will choose a thirteenth member to add to the squadron." Lucas leaped to his feet as if he were the Thirteenth Knight. He pulled a pretend sword from his hip.

克拉拉点点头。“没错!克雷斯渥的巨龙只从全国各地挑选最优秀的骑士加入骑士尖塔。 他们的任务是成为王国的终极捍卫者。” 塔布洛克砰的一声坐了下来。 克拉拉继续说道：“今年骑士尖塔将选出第十三位成员加入这个中队。” 卢卡斯跳了起来，好像他是第十三骑士。 他从臀部抽出一把假剑。

"En garde!" he cried, waving his pretend sword at Clara. Clara drew her own pretend sword and pointed it toward the prince. She loved to play-fight with Lucas because she almost always won.

“预备！”他喊道，向克拉拉挥舞着他的假剑。 克拉拉抽出她自己的假剑，指着王子。 她喜欢和卢卡斯玩格斗游戏，因为她几乎总是赢。

Then the play-fighting began. They lunged, tumbled, rolled over in the snow, and got back on their feet. The giant children cheered wildly. Then Lucas fell into a snowbank. Clara pointed her pretend sword at him. "Okay, okay, I surrender!" Lucas cried.

然后打闹开始了。 他们猛扑过去，摔倒了，在雪地里翻了个身，然后又站了起来。 高大的孩子们疯狂地欢呼。 然后卢卡斯掉进了雪堆里。 克拉拉用她的假剑指着他。 “好吧，好吧，我投降！”卢卡斯哭了。

The giants clapped for Clara. "So, can anyone become a Knight Spire?" Thea asked.

巨人们为克拉拉鼓掌。 “那么，任何人都能成为骑士尖塔吗？”西娅问。
