4 All That Glitters

CHAPTER 4

第四章

All That Glitters Percy sniffed Clara's boots. Then Clara took a giant step over Percy and walked toward Lucas. "So, guess what?" said Clara as she tried to ignore Bella's watchful eye. "What?" asked Lucas. "I have an idea for our next adventure." Lucas's eyes widened. He loved it when Clara got ideas. "What is it?"

闪闪发光珀西嗅了嗅克拉拉的靴子。 然后克拉拉跨过珀西一大步，朝卢卡斯走去。 “所以，你猜怎么着？”克拉拉说，她试图无视贝拉警惕的目光。 “什么？”卢卡斯问。“我有一个关于我们下一次冒险的主意。” 卢卡斯睁大了眼睛。他喜欢克拉拉有想法。 “什么事？”

"My teacher said we have to research a place in Wrenly that we haven't been to before," Clara explained. "Where haven't you been?" Lucas asked. "The Stone Forest," said Clara. "Have you ever been there?" "I've only seen it from the road," said Lucas.

“我的老师说我们必须研究一个我们以前没有去过的地方，”克拉拉解释说。 “你到哪儿去了？”卢卡斯问道。 “石林。”克拉拉说。 “你去过那里吗？”“我只是在路上看到的，”卢卡斯说。

"Same here," said Clara. Then Bella huffed. "Why would anyone want to go there?" she questioned. "Isn't it just a bunch of crummy old towers and creepy dark tunnels?"

“我也是，”克拉拉说。然后贝拉生气了。 “为什么会有人想去那里？”她问道。 “它不就是一堆破旧的塔楼和令人毛骨悚然的黑暗隧道吗？”

Clara almost said, Who asked you? But she stopped herself. If Bella didn't want to go to the Stone Forest, then Lucas wouldn't be able to go either. Hmm, thought Clara. How can I make this adventure sound like one that Bella would want to go on? She took a good look at the princess. Then she noticed the lovely gemstone hanging in the middle of the princess's forehead. It gave Clara an idea.

克拉拉差点说，谁问你了？ 但她停住了。如果贝拉不想去石林，那卢卡斯也不能去。 嗯，克拉拉想。我怎样才能让这次冒险听起来像贝拉想要继续的呢？ 她仔细地看了看公主。 这时，她注意到公主额头中间挂着一颗可爱的宝石。 这给了克拉拉一个主意。

"Bella, did you know the most beautiful jewels in the kingdom come from the Stone Forest?" she asked. "Those creepy underground tunnels are just bursting with precious gems."

“贝拉，你知道王国里最美丽的珠宝都来自石林吗？”她问。 “那些令人毛骨悚然的地下隧道里充满了珍贵的宝石。”
