Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE "So, what do you think?" Rosa looked at everyone. They were all standing in a group outside the stables with their unicorns. She had even managed to pique Freya's curiosity enough to make her join them with Honey. "I'm sure the magic map gave me a definite sign that we should go to the Glittering Cavern. It's in some mountains that are not too far away. We could ride there in about four hours I think. We could be back by dinner if we leave soon." "I think we should go," said Violet. Twinkle nodded.

第五章“那么，你觉得怎么样？”罗莎看了看大家。 他们带着独角兽站在马厩外面。 她甚至成功地激起了弗雷娅的好奇心，让她和霍妮一起加入了他们。 “我相信那张神奇的地图给了我一个明确的指示，告诉我我们应该去闪光洞。 它在一些不太远的山上。 我想我们可以在四个小时内骑到那里。 如果我们快点走，晚饭前就能回来。” “我想我们该走了。”维奥莱特说。 闪烁点了点头。

"I still think it's too dangerous," protested Ariana. "And it's a really long way." "Please let's go," said Whisper, her unicorn. "It sounds really exciting." "We'll have a vote," decided Rosa. "All those in favour of going to the Glittering Cavern today, raise your hands or nod your heads." All the unicorns nodded enthusiastically and all the girls, apart from Ariana and Freya, raised their hands. Freya hesitated for a moment and then nodded and raised her hand too. Honey whinnied in delight. "It's decided then!" Rosa exclaimed. "We've voted and it's agreed. We're all going to try to find the Glittering Cavern– and the missing model of the academy." "All right," said Ariana reluctantly. "But we must be careful, and what will we do about food?" "I'll deal with that," Rosa declared. "Meet me back here in an hour and we'll set off then!"

“我还是觉得太危险了。”阿利安娜抗议道。 “这真的是一段很长的路。” “我们走吧，”她的独角兽Whisper说。 “听起来真的很令人兴奋。” “我们来投票，”罗莎决定。 “今天想去金光洞的，请举手或点头。” 所有的独角兽都热情地点了点头，除了阿利安娜和弗雷娅，所有的女孩都举起了手。 弗雷娅犹豫了一会儿，然后点点头，也举起了手。 蜂蜜高兴地呜呜叫着。 “那就这么定了！”罗莎喊道。 “我们已经投票并达成一致。 我们都要设法找到闪闪发光的洞穴——还有那个失踪的学院模特。” “好吧。”阿利安娜不情愿地说。 “但是我们必须小心，我们该怎么处理食物呢？”“我来处理这件事，”罗莎宣布。 “一小时后在这里等我，然后我们就出发！”

She was thrilled. Finally Diamond dorm were going to do something all together, and just imagine how pleased the teachers would be if they came home with the missing model! "You're the best, Rosa," Crystal said, nuzzling her as the others went off to get breakfast. "I love the way you organise everyone."

她很激动。最后，钻石宿舍要一起做点什么，想象一下，如果老师们带着失踪的模特回家，他们会有多高兴！“你是最棒的，罗莎，”克里斯托说，在其他人去吃早餐的时候用鼻子蹭着她。 “我喜欢你组织大家的方式。”

Rosa hugged her. "We'll find the model," she told her. "I know we will!" Rosa arranged for Cook to give everyone a packed lunch and gathered together some blankets, packing them into a rucksack with some rope and a compass. At last they all set off, riding their unicorns northwards, keeping on course with the help of Rosa's compass. All the unicorns seemed very excited to be riding out on an adventure. Rosa kept noticing a flurry of pink sparks swirling around Crystal's hooves as she trotted along. The February day was sunny and cold, but Rosa, in the lead, went at such a fast pace that it wasn't long before Crystal was thirsty. "I need a drink," she declared, changing course and trotting towards a babbling brook at the far end of the meadow they were riding through.

罗莎拥抱了她。“我们会找到模特的，”她告诉她。 “我知道我们会的！”罗莎安排库克给每个人准备了盒饭，并收集了一些毯子，连同绳子和指南针一起装进了一个帆布背包。 最后，他们都出发了，骑着独角兽向北走，在罗莎的指南针的帮助下保持着航向。 所有的独角兽似乎都很兴奋，要骑马出去冒险了。 罗莎一直注意到，克里斯托小跑着的时候，马蹄周围有一阵粉红色的火花在旋转。 二月的天气晴朗而寒冷，但罗莎走在前面，跑得很快，没过多久克里斯托就渴了。 “我需要喝点东西，”她说着，改变了方向，小跑着走向草地尽头一条潺潺的小溪。

"Water!" squealed Pearl, splashing straight into it with Matilda still on her back. Rosa, Freya, Ariana and Violet dismounted. Freya let Honey take a long drink while she stood with a faraway look on her face. I bet she's thinking about making some sort of machine, thought Rosa, with a flicker of irritation. Why can't she just focus on what we're doing now? Crystal finished drinking and shook her head, spraying everyone with rainbow-coloured water droplets. "Eeew!" screamed Matilda, getting splashed. "Water fight!" "Yay! Water fight!" Pearl stamped her

“水！”珠儿尖声叫道，她扑通扑通地跳进水里，玛蒂尔达还在她的背上。 罗莎、弗雷娅、爱莉安娜和维奥莱特下了马。 弗雷娅让霍妮喝了好久，她站在那里，一脸茫然。 “我敢说她一定在考虑制造某种机器，”罗莎想，心里闪过一丝恼怒。 为什么她就不能专注于我们现在的工作呢？ 克里斯托喝完后摇了摇头，向每个人喷射着彩虹色的水滴。 “呸！”玛蒂尔达尖叫着，身上溅起了水花。 “水战斗!”“耶!水战斗!”珠儿跺着她的脚

hooves in the brook. Whisper retaliated, creating a mini whirlpool with his hooves as he kicked up the water. "Stop!" cried Ariana desperately. "Please stop. Whisper, you're soaked. How can I ride you when you're that wet?" Whisper was having too much fun to listen. He stamped a hoof, sending a wave of coloured water cascading over Twinkle and Honey, and an even bigger wave over Crystal. "Take that!" whinnied Crystal. Pink sparks swirled around her as she stamped in the brook, over and over again. Rosa's nose wrinkled as she caught a whiff of something sweet in the air. "Crystal!" she gasped. "Look at you!" For a second, Crystal was lost in a whirl of snowflakes that spun around her in a sparkling white mist. The unicorns stopped splashing and stared, their mouths hanging open in wonder. Gradually the snowflakes stopped spinning and

小溪里的蹄子。Whisper进行了报复，它用蹄子踢起水来，弄出了一个小漩涡。 “住手！”阿利安娜绝望地叫道。 “请停止。Whisper，你湿透了。 你这么湿，我怎么能骑你呢？”Whisper玩得太开心了，听不进去。 他跺了一脚蹄子，一股彩色的水波在闪烁和蜂蜜身上倾泻而下，一股更大的水波在水晶身上倾泻而下。 “拿去！”克里斯托低声说。 她一遍又一遍地踩着小溪，粉红色的火花在她周围旋转。 罗莎闻到空气中有一股甜味，鼻子皱了起来。 “克里斯托！”她喘着气说。“看看你！”有那么一秒钟，克里斯托迷失在雪花的漩涡中，雪花在她周围旋转，形成了一层闪闪发光的白雾。 独角兽们停止了溅水，目瞪口呆地看着，惊讶地张着嘴。 渐渐地，雪花停止了旋转
