2 A Fire Breather

CHAPTER 2

第二章

A Fire Breather Lucas spotted Clara outside a stall. He watched her gently brush her horse, Scallop. Scallop was a velvet- brown Arabian horse with a black mane, a black tail, and white socks. The horse had been a reward from King Caleb for finding Queen Tasha's lost emerald. "Clara!" called Lucas. "You'll never guess what!"

喷火师卢卡斯在一个摊位外发现了克拉拉。 他看着她轻轻地抚摸她的马，扇贝。 扇贝是一匹天鹅绒棕色的阿拉伯马，长着黑色的鬃毛，黑色的尾巴，穿着白色的袜子。 这匹马是迦勒国王找到塔莎王后丢失的祖母绿的奖励。 “克拉拉！”卢卡斯喊道。“你绝对猜不到是什么！”

Clara stopped brushing. Her green eyes lit up when she saw her friend. "What?" she asked. "André and Grom found a red dragon's egg on Crestwood!" said Lucas. "A red dragon's egg!" exclaimed Clara. "Do you know what that means?" "It means there's a scarlet dragon inside!" "Exactly," said Clara. Then her face became serious. "And you know what they say about red dragons." "Sure," answered Lucas. "The legends say they're the most magnificent dragons in all the world!" "And the most feared," Clara added.

克拉拉停止了刷牙。当她看到她的朋友时，她那双绿色的眼睛亮了起来。 “什么？”她问。“安德鲁和格罗姆在克雷斯伍德发现了一个红龙蛋！”卢卡斯说。 “一个红龙蛋！”克拉拉叫道。 “你知道那是什么意思吗？”“意思是里面有一条红龙！”“没错，”克拉拉说。 然后她的脸变得严肃起来。 “你知道人们是怎么说红龙的。” “当然可以，”卢卡斯回答。“传说它们是世界上最壮美的龙！”“也是最可怕的，”克拉拉补充说。

"Not to worry," Lucas said. "It's all in the training." Clara rolled her eyes. "Have you ever trained a fire-breathing dragon?" she asked.

“别担心，”卢卡斯说。 “一切都在训练中。” 克拉拉翻了个白眼。“你训练过喷火龙吗？”她问。

"Actually, I've never even trained a dog," Lucas said. "But the knights and wizards know all about dragon training." "I suppose," said Clara. "But what if it sets Wrenly on fire?" "Then we'll put the fire out," said Lucas. "Trust me. A red dragon is going to be amazing." "Well, it certainly is exciting," Clara admitted. Lucas gave Clara a pat on the shoulder. "Well, I'd better be off," he said. "My parents are taking me to see the egg right now." Clara waved as Lucas ran back to the castle.

“事实上，我从来没有训练过狗，”卢卡斯说。 “但是骑士和巫师都知道驯龙的事。” “我想是的，”克拉拉说。“但如果它把兰利点着了怎么办？”“那我们就把火扑灭，”卢卡斯说。 “相信我。一条红龙会很神奇的。” “嗯，这确实令人兴奋，”克拉拉承认。 卢卡斯拍了拍克拉拉的肩膀。 “好了，我得走了，”他说。 “我父母现在正带我去看蛋。” 克拉拉挥手示意卢卡斯跑回城堡。
