6 Redhead

CHAPTER 6

第六章

Redhead Clara couldn't take her eyes off the baby dragon. "He's beautiful," she said. Even though they were in the lair, the dragon stayed on Lucas's arm. "He thinks I'm his mother," said Lucas. Clara laughed. "That's a good thing," she said. "Because you are his mother." Lucas smiled. "Let's take him to the playroom and think of some names for him." "I love to think up names!" Clara said. They hurried down the tunnel to the lair's playroom. Lucas set the baby dragon on the floor. Then they watched to see what he would do. The little dragon held out his wings and took a few quick steps.

红头发的克拉拉目不转睛地看着那只小龙。 “他很漂亮，”她说。 尽管他们在老巢里，龙还在卢卡斯的胳膊上。 “他以为我是他妈妈，”卢卡斯说。 克拉拉笑了。“这是件好事，”她说。 “因为你是他的母亲。” 卢卡斯笑了。“我们带他去游戏室，给他想几个名字。” “我喜欢想名字！”克拉拉说。 他们匆匆穿过隧道来到老巢的游戏室。 卢卡斯把小龙放在地板上。 然后他们看他会做什么。 小龙伸出翅膀，快步走了几步。

"He is so sweet," Clara gushed. "Maybe we should call him Sweetie Pie." "No way," said Lucas. "He needs a noble name."

“他太可爱了，”克拉拉滔滔不绝地说。 “也许我们应该叫他甜心派。” “不可能，”卢卡斯说。“他需要一个高贵的名字。”

They watched the baby dragon chase his tail. He went round and round. Then he noticed the chew toys and pounced on the rabbit. He batted it with his nose. Then he brought it to Lucas and dropped it on the floor. "Good boy," Lucas said. Clara smiled.

他们看着小龙追逐自己的尾巴。 他转了一圈又一圈。然后他注意到咀嚼玩具，扑向兔子。 他用鼻子拍打着它。 然后他把它拿给卢卡斯，扔在地板上。 “好孩子，”卢卡斯说。克拉拉笑了。

Then the dragon lay down in front of Lucas. "Awwww," he said. "The little guy needs a rest." Lucas pet the dragon's horns. "Let's think up more names," Clara said. "Okay," said Lucas. "How about Firefly?" "I like it," said Clara. "What about Fireball?" "That's a good one," Lucas said.

然后龙躺在卢卡斯面前。 “哇，”他说。“小家伙需要休息一下。” 卢卡斯抚摸着龙的角。 “我们再想几个名字吧，”克拉拉说。 “好吧，”卢卡斯说。“萤火虫怎么样？”“我喜欢它，”克拉拉说。 “火球怎么样？”“这是个好主意，”卢卡斯说。

They thought of all kinds of names: Mr. Flame, Big Red, Bonfire, and Rusty. "What do you think of Ruskin?" asked Lucas. "I really like it," said Clara. "It means 'redhead,'" Lucas said. "Even better!" said Clara. "Okay! Then his name shall be Ruskin!" Lucas declared. Then he addressed the baby dragon. "Hello, Master Ruskin," he said. The dragon didn't respond. "That's okay," Clara said. "He doesn't know his name yet."

他们想出了各种各样的名字：火焰先生、大红、篝火和Rusty。 “你觉得罗斯金怎么样？”卢卡斯问。 “我真的很喜欢它，”克拉拉说。 “它的意思是‘红发’，”卢卡斯说。 “更好！”克拉拉说。 “好吧!那他就叫罗斯金吧！”卢卡斯说。 然后他对小龙说： “你好，罗斯金少爷，”他说。 龙没有回应。 “没关系，”克拉拉说。 “他还不知道自己的名字。”
