9 Be Your Best

CHAPTER 9

第九章

Be Your Best Lucas and Ruskin wandered the fairgrounds. They had a little time before Lucas would have to drop Ruskin off at the dragon pen. They cheered on the gnomes in a tug-of-war match. Their friend Pilwinkle and his team tumbled to the ground as they pulled the other team over the line. After that Ruskin watched Lucas play a game of Jack Straws, a gigantic version of pick-up sticks. Next they scampered toward the ice house. "Remember when you melted the ice in the larder?" said Lucas, laughing. Ruskin whimpered. "We got in so much trouble!"

卢卡斯和罗斯金在集市上闲逛。 他们还有一点时间，卢卡斯就得把罗斯金送到龙笼去了。 他们在一场拔河比赛中为地精加油。 他们的朋友皮尔温克尔和他的队伍在把对方拉过线时摔倒在地。 在那之后，罗斯金看卢卡斯玩杰克吸管游戏，一个巨大的捡捡棒版本。 接着他们向冰屋跑去。 “还记得你在储藏室融化冰块的事吗？”卢卡斯笑着说。 Ruskin呜呜咽咽哭了起来。“我们惹了很多麻烦！”

Then they stepped into the ice house. The cold air felt good. All around them stood the most beautiful ice sculptures Lucas had ever seen: elephants, mammoths, mermaids, unicorns, knights, and dragons. "Look, Ruskin!" cried Lucas. "The giants even made an ice sculpture of us!"

然后他们走进了冰屋。 冷空气让人感觉很好。在他们周围矗立着卢卡斯所见过的最美丽的冰雕：大象、猛犸象、美人鱼、独角兽、骑士和龙。 “看，罗斯金！”卢卡斯叫道。 “巨人们甚至给我们做了一个冰雕！”

Lucas looked for someone to thank, but he knew the giants never stayed for the tournament. It was too

卢卡斯想找个人道谢，但他知道巨人队从来不会留下来看比赛。 它太。

warm for them near the castle so far beneath the icy mountains. "Come on, Ruskin," said Lucas. "We need to get going!" Lucas dropped Ruskin off at the dragon pen. Ruskin had to get ready for the dragon show. Then Lucas went to meet his parents at the fruits and vegetables tent. He spied them by the pumpkin display.

离城堡这么远，在冰冷的山脉下面，对他们来说很温暖。 “来吧，罗斯金，”卢卡斯说。 “我们得走了！”卢卡斯把罗斯金送到了龙笔。 罗斯金必须为龙的表演做准备。 然后卢卡斯去水果和蔬菜帐篷见他的父母。 他从南瓜展上发现了他们。

"I've never seen such large pumpkins in all of Wrenly!" commented Queen Tasha. "We owe our beautiful crops to the Witch of Bogburp," said one of the trolls. He tipped his hat to Tilda the witch, who was standing nearby.

“我在兰利从来没有见过这么大的南瓜！”塔莎王后评论道。 “我们这些美丽的庄稼都是博格伯女巫的功劳。”其中一个巨怪说。 他向站在旁边的女巫蒂尔达脱帽致敬。
