2. The Fairy Storm

Rachel and Kirsty ran out of the park and back to the road. The rain was still pouring down, sticking their hair against their heads. It was so dark and wet out that all of the cars driving past had their headlights on and their windshield wipers whipping from side to side. Instead of running all the way home, Kirsty had another idea. "Let's go in there!" she cried, pointing ahead. Rachel blinked the raindrops from her eyelashes and followed her friend up the path to a large red brick building. A small blue sign out front read: WETHERBURY MUSEUM.

瑞秋和科斯蒂跑出公园，回到路上。 雨还在倾盆而下，把他们的头发粘在头上。 外面又黑又湿，所有经过的汽车都亮着前灯，挡风玻璃上的雨刮器晃来晃去。 Kirsty没有一路跑回家，她有了另一个主意。 “我们进去吧！”她指着前方喊道。 瑞秋眨了眨睫毛上的雨滴，跟着她的朋友沿着小路走到一座红砖大房子前。 门口有一块蓝色的小牌子，上面写着：威瑟伯里博物馆。

Kirsty yanked open the double doors, and she and Rachel tumbled inside the museum. Water dripped onto the doormat as Rachel shook her hair out of her face. "Wow!" she said. "Talk about stormy weather!"

科斯蒂猛地打开两扇门，她和瑞秋跌跌撞撞地进了博物馆。 瑞秋把头发从脸上抖开，水滴在门垫上。 “哇！”她说。“说到暴风雨天气！”

Kirsty looked thoughtful. "The goblin with the Lightning Feather must be behind this," she said. "He's nearby, don't you think?" "Definitely," Rachel agreed. "I—" But before she could say anything else, Rachel was interrupted by a deafening ROOOAAARRR! Rachel clutched Kirsty's arm. "What was that?" she whispered. Kirsty giggled at her friend's alarmed face. "I should have warned you— there's a dinosaur display in here," she said. "They found some dinosaur bones in Wetherbury years and years ago. The museum has a huge model of how the dinosaur would have looked. It roars and moves every few minutes. Come on, I'll show you."

科斯蒂若有所思。“带着闪电羽毛的妖精一定是幕后主使。”她说。 “他就在附近，你觉得呢？”“当然，”瑞秋同意道。 “我——”话还没说完，瑞秋就被一声震耳欲聋的“呜——呜！”瑞秋抓住科斯蒂的胳膊。 “那是什么？”她低声说。 柯斯蒂看着她朋友惊恐的脸咯咯地笑。 “我应该警告你的——这里有一个恐龙展览，”她说。 “多年前，他们在韦瑟伯里发现了一些恐龙骨头。 博物馆里有一个巨大的恐龙模型。 它每隔几分钟就会咆哮和移动一次。 来吧，我带你去。”

Kirsty pushed open another set of double doors and led Rachel into one of the museum galleries. A group of people was being shown around by a tour guide. Kirsty pointed past them to a gigantic model dinosaur. Rachel stared at the long neck, wide body, and huge tail of the model. The dinosaur was standing in water that was supposed to look like a river. Spiky rubber fish floated around its feet.

柯斯蒂推开另一扇双开门，领着瑞秋走进博物馆的一个展厅。 一群人在导游的带领下四处游览。 科斯蒂指着他们身边一个巨大的恐龙模型。 瑞秋盯着模特的长脖子、宽身体和大尾巴。 恐龙站在看起来像河流的水中。 长着尖刺的橡胶鱼在它的脚边漂浮。

"Wow!" Rachel exclaimed. Kirsty grinned. "Watch this," she said, pressing a big red button. The dinosaur leaned down and opened its jaws. It snapped up one of the fish, then lifted its head so that the fish tumbled down into its belly. "That's amazing!" Rachel said, laughing. "What happens if you press this blue button?"

“哇!”雷切尔喊道。斯蒂咧嘴一笑。 “看这个，”她说着，按下了一个红色的大按钮。 恐龙俯下身，张开了嘴巴。 它咬住了其中一条鱼，然后抬起头，使鱼翻滚到它的肚子里。 “这太神奇了!”瑞秋笑着说。 “如果你按下这个蓝色按钮会发生什么？”

RROOOOOAAARRRR! "That's what happens," Kirsty giggled. As the dinosaur's roar faded, Rachel couldn't help overhearing the tour guide. "Listen!" she whispered to Kirsty. "…don't know where this fairy exhibit has come from," the guide was saying, sounding confused. She shrugged. "I just came back from vacation— it must be a new display. Maybe somebody discovered that fairies were around at the same time as dinosaurs!" The tour group laughed politely. "Anyway, let's move on to the natural history room," the guide said. "It's this way…."

RROOOOOAAARRRR !“事情就是这样，”科斯蒂咯咯笑着说。 随着恐龙的吼声逐渐消失，瑞秋无意中听到了导游的话。 “听着！”她小声对科斯蒂说。 “……我不知道这个仙女展览是从哪儿来的。”向导说，听起来有些困惑。 她耸耸肩。“我刚度假回来——这一定是新的展示。 也许有人发现仙女和恐龙是同时出现的！”旅行团礼貌地笑了。 “不管怎样，我们去自然历史展览室吧，”导游说。 “这边....”
