8 The Dream Team

CHAPTER 8

第八章

The Dream Team Glub! Glub! Glurp! The swamps of Bogburp bubbled with stench and steam. Clara pinched her nose. "It smells like rotten eggs!" Lucas nodded. "That's why it's the perfect barrier to the Dream Portal," he said. The prince took a deep breath and held it the rest of the way across Bogburp. When the land turned

梦之队！Glub !Glurp !博格伯普的沼泽充斥着恶臭和蒸汽。 克拉拉捏了捏她的鼻子。“闻起来像臭鸡蛋！”卢卡斯点点头。 “这就是为什么它是通往梦之门的完美屏障。”他说。 王子深吸了一口气，在穿过博格堡的路上一直屏住呼吸。 当大地转向

back to meadows, the two friends breathed normally again. "Lucas, look up ahead," Clara cried. "It's that swirling blue-and-pink mist we saw in our dreams!" Lucas steered toward the mist and saw a circle of glittering black stones—just like they had read about in the fairy tale. "It's the rock formation!" he said. But Clara wasn't looking at the ground. She was looking up in the sky. "It's Ruskin!" she called out. The dragon was in a nosedive, flying headfirst into the mist. "We have to go after him!" Lucas said.

回到草地，两个朋友又恢复了正常的呼吸。 “卢卡斯，抬头看看，”克拉拉叫道。 “这就是我们在梦里看到的蓝粉相间的漩涡雾！”卢卡斯把车开向雾中，看见一圈闪闪发光的黑石头——就像他们在童话故事中读到的那样。 “这是岩层！”他说。 但是克拉拉没有看地面。 她抬头望着天空。 “是罗斯金！”她喊道。 巨龙急速俯冲，头朝下飞进了雾中。 “我们得去追他！”卢卡斯说。

Clara nodded as Lucas aimed the dragon-flyer toward the mist at the heart of the rock formation and squeezed her eyes tight. They had entered the Dream Portal. Instead of seeing another world, Lucas woke up in his own bed with Ruskin nestled by his feet. The prince scratched his head.

克拉拉点了点头，卢卡斯把飞龙瞄准了岩石中心的薄雾，紧紧地挤着她的眼睛。 他们进入了梦之门。 卢卡斯并没有看到另一个世界，而是在自己的床上醒来，拉斯金依偎在他的脚边。 王子挠了挠头。

Okay, what's going on? he thought. Was I dreaming again? Then he heard a knock on his door.

好吧，怎么回事？他想。 我又在做梦吗？然后他听到有人敲门。

"Prince Lucas?" It was Sherman, the prince's personal attendant. "Your presence is required in the great hall." Lucas hopped out of bed. "Be right there!" The prince ran to his closet. Hanging on the back of the door was a scarlet suit of armor—the same color as Ruskin. It had a note pinned to it. Lucas, This is your BIG day. To be the part, you must dress the part. Love,

“卢卡斯王子?”是谢尔曼，王子的私人随从。 “请到大厅里来。” 卢卡斯跳下床。“马上就到！”王子跑到他的衣橱。 门后面挂着一套猩红色的盔甲——和罗斯金的颜色一样。 上面别着一张纸条。 卢卡斯，今天是你的大日子。 要成为一个角色，你必须穿得像那个角色。 爱,
