Chapter 6

Chapter SIX Dad took Mola and me back to the palace with Jade and Inkibelle swimming along behind. I suddenly started to feel a little bit nervous. Would Mum and Auster be cross that we had stayed out so long? And our outfits were a mess! 'Almost there,' said Dad. 'I'll leave you both at the gates, shall I? It was lovely

爸爸带着我和莫拉回到了宫殿，杰德和因基贝利跟在后面游泳。 我突然开始感到有点紧张。 妈妈和奥斯特会因为我们在外面待了这么久而生气吗？ 我们的服装也一团糟！“快到了，”爸爸说。 “我把你们俩留在大门口，好吗？” 很可爱

to meet you, Mola, and hear all about Aquilla! And you know what? You really remind me of Emerald! The two of you are like merpeas in a pod!' Mola and I grinned at each other. 'And I think you're the best cook I've met!' Mola said. I gave Dad a big hug and then he swam away. The jitters in my tummy were still there. I was starting to feel really worried that we were going to get into big, big trouble. I looked down at my

很高兴见到你，摩拉，听听关于阿奎拉的一切！你知道吗？ 你真的让我想起了祖母绿！你们两个就像一个豆荚里的人鱼！”Mola和我相视而笑。 “我认为你是我见过的最好的厨师！”翻车鲀说。 我给了爸爸一个大大的拥抱，然后他就游走了。 我肚子里的不安还在。 我真的开始担心我们会惹上大麻烦。 我低头看着我的

bedraggled dress, and Mola plucked at his torn cape. We definitely didn't look like a princess and prince right now. But we'd had a very good time! Mola took my hand. 'Let's go in together,' he said. 'Come on!' Mola and I swam over the palace gates, across the gardens, and towards the front doors of the palace. We found both our families sitting round the table in the grand dining room. Royal dinners can last even longer than royal lunches as there are so many courses! 'Emerald!' cried Mum, swishing up

他的衣服湿透了，Mola拽了拽他的破斗篷。 我们现在看起来一点都不像王子和公主。 但是我们玩得很开心！Mola握住我的手。 “我们一起进去吧，”他说。 “来吧!”莫拉和我游过宫殿的大门，穿过花园，向宫殿的前门游去。 我们发现我们的家人都围坐在大餐厅的桌子旁。 皇家晚宴甚至可以比皇家午餐持续更长时间，因为有太多的课程！“翡翠!妈妈叫道，嗖地一声跳了起来

from her chair. 'There you are! We were starting to get a little worried. Yes, said King and Queen Seadragon, frowning. We were.' 'I'm so sorry!' I said. 'We didn't mean to stay out so long! But I got carried away showing Mola Scallop City and—' '—we were just having too much fun,'

从她的椅子上。“你在这儿!”我们开始有点担心了。 “是的。”海龙国王和王后皱着眉头说。 我们是。“真对不起！”我说。 “我们不是故意在外面待这么久的！”但我在展示摩拉扇贝城的时候有点忘乎所以，我们玩得太开心了

finished Mola. I glanced at him and smiled. Even though we might be in trouble now, I was glad that Mola had enjoyed his experience here in Scallop City. It had all been worth it! Why did you run off in the first

完成了翻车鲀。我瞥了他一眼，笑了。 尽管我们现在可能有麻烦了，但我很高兴莫拉喜欢他在扇贝城的经历。 一切都是值得的！你为什么一开始就跑了

place, Mola?' asked Queen Seadragon. She swam over to give Mola a hug, even though she sounded cross. 'It was very reckless to swim off without telling anyone where you were going!' Mola hung his head. 'I know,' he said. 'I really am sorry, Mum. I was just feeling so... uncomfortable. And I was missing Jade she's usually allowed to come everywhere with me. And this jewellery is very heavy. It

地方,翻车鲀?赛龙皇后问。 她游过去给了Mola一个拥抱，尽管她听起来很生气。 “你不告诉任何人你要去哪里就游走了，这是非常鲁莽的！”Mola低下了头。 “我知道，”他说。“我真的很抱歉，妈妈。 我只是觉得…不舒服。 我很想念杰德，她通常被允许和我一起去任何地方。 这些珠宝很重。 它
