Chapter 3

Chapter THREE 'Mola!' called Delphina, swimming around the courtyard looking for him. 'Maybe I swam too fast and he couldn't keep up?' 'I don't think that's what happened,' I said, frowning. 'He was just behind me a moment ago.' I swam up above the walls of the coral maze and looked around. I could just

第三章翻车鱼！黛尔菲娜喊着，在院子里游来游去找他。 “也许我游得太快了，他跟不上？”“我想事情不是这样的，”我皱着眉头说。 “刚才他还在我后面呢。”我游到珊瑚迷宫的墙壁上方，环顾四周。 我可以

make out a figure swimming away in the distance. Mola! I frowned. It wasn't very nice to swim off without telling us where he was going. Poor Delphina! She had been so excited to show him and Melody the royal maze. I know she can be a little bit... over-enthusiastic sometimes, but she had only been trying to be nice. I swam back to Delphina.

看见远处有个人影在游泳。 翻车鲀!我皱起了眉头。他不告诉我们他要去哪里就游走了，这很不友好。 可怜的Delphina !她非常兴奋地带他和美洛蒂参观皇家迷宫。 我知道她可能有点… 有时过于热情，但她只是想表现得友善些。 我游回戴尔菲娜身边。

'Let's not worry about Mola,' I said. 'I'm sure he'll be able to find his way back to the palace on his own.' 'Oh,' said Delphina, looking disappointed. 'But he's missed out on the gold coins! I better save one for him.' 'I wouldn't bother,' I muttered under my breath.

“别担心莫拉了，”我说。 “我相信他自己能找到回宫殿的路。“哦，”德尔菲娜说，显得很失望。 “但是他错过了金币！”我最好给他留一个。“我才不费事呢，”我低声嘟囔着。

Delphina, Melody, and I took our time swimming out of the maze, before heading back to the palace for lunch. 'Hopefully, Mola will already be there,' said Delphina as we swam inside. 'I'm sure he will,' said Melody. 'I was just about to come and find you,' Mum said, meeting us in the hallway. 'Will you go and get changed for lunch, please, Emerald and Delphina? King and Queen Seadragon are in their suite now, getting ready.' 'You said I only had to wear this one princess outfit!' I protested, gesturing to the rainbow fish monstrosity. 'So sorry!' said Mum. 'I forgot that

德尔菲娜、梅洛迪和我慢慢地游出了迷宫，然后回到宫殿吃午饭。 当我们游进去时，德尔菲娜说：“希望Mola已经在那里了。” “我相信他会的，”美洛蒂说。 “我正要来找你们，”妈妈在走廊迎接我们时说道。 “祖母绿和德尔菲娜，请你们去换衣服吃午饭好吗？” 海龙国王和皇后在他们的套间里，准备好了。“你说过我只需要穿这一套公主装！”我抗议道，指着那只可怕的彩虹鱼。 “抱歉!妈妈说。“我忘了。

there would be special outfits for the royal lunch too. Where's Mola? I expect he's already with his parents in the suite... I'll take Melody there now.' 'You mean he's not back?' I asked, but Mum wasn't listening. She was already leading Melody to her parents' room. 'See you in the grand dining room in fifteen minutes!' she called over her shoulder as she hurried away. 'More new outfits!' said Delphina excitedly. 'Let's go to our rooms and look at them right away!' 'What about Mola?' I asked. 'Mum said she hasn't seen him.' 'He's probably with his parents,' said

皇室午餐也会有特别的服装。 翻车鲀在哪儿?我想他已经和他父母在套间里了。 我现在就带梅洛迪去。“你是说他还没回来？”我问，但妈妈不听。 她已经带着梅洛迪去了她父母的房间。 “十五分钟后在大餐厅见！”她一边匆匆走开，一边回头喊道。 “更多的新衣服！”德尔菲娜兴奋地说。 “我们马上回房间去看看吧！”“Mola怎么样？”我问。 “妈妈说她没见过他。“他可能和他父母在一起，”他说

Delphina. 'I guess.' I hoped Delphina was right. I swam to my room. Lying on the bed was a new outfit even worse than the first! It was covered all over with frothy lace and had huge, puffy sea-flower petal sleeves.

Delphina。“我猜”。我希望德尔菲娜是对的。 我游回我的房间。躺在床上的是一套比第一套更糟糕的新衣服！裙子上到处都是泡沫花边，袖子上有又大又蓬松的海花花瓣。
