10 RIP

CHAPTER 10

第十章

RIP Mary led the way back up the turret. When they reached the forgotten room, she stood before the fireplace and addressed Ruskin. "Here's what I need, dear dragon," she said. "It is something precious, and you must be willing to give it to me freely." Ruskin tilted his head to one side, wondering what it could be.

安息吧，玛丽领着大家回到塔楼。 当他们来到那间被人遗忘的房间时，她站在壁炉前对罗斯金说话。 “这就是我需要的，亲爱的龙。”她说。 “这是一件珍贵的东西，你必须愿意无偿地给我。” 罗斯金把头歪向一边，想知道那是什么。

Then Mary kneeled down in front of him. "What I need is some of your dragon breath." Ruskin immediately blew a small ball of dragon fire and held it out for the ghost. Mary laughed as if Ruskin had performed a cute puppy trick. "No, not your dragon fire," she said. "Your dragon breath."

然后玛丽在他面前跪了下来。 “我需要一点你的龙息。” 罗斯金立即吹了一个火龙球，递给鬼魂。 玛丽笑了起来，好像罗斯金表演了一个可爱的小狗把戏。 “不，不是你的火龙。”她说。 “你的龙息。”

轻轻地对着壁炉呼吸。 绿色的火花很快就变成了柔和的绿色火焰。 随着绿色火焰的闪烁，房间发生了变化。 黑暗和阴郁变得光明、温暖和诱人。 铺上了新亚麻布的天篷床活了起来。 窗帘看起来干净利落。 梳妆台上的镜子和梳子闪着珍珠般的白光。 玛丽也不再像幽灵一样苍白了。
