12 Tricky Training

Chapter 12 Tricky Training Captain Kamak stood in front of the command tent, looking at Dante and Malia. "Okay, newbies," Kamak said. "If my scouts find paw prints, we'll be sending you in. Dogs like humans better than cougars. If you find Bruno, call to him. When he gets close, you collar him. Then do the whistle I taught you. Lieutenant Ezzy?" One of the knights put a silver collar in Malia's hand. "Today you practice," the captain explained. "Boy cub, you're the dog. Run off toward those swings and hide." Dante couldn't stop himself. He dropped to all fours and hurried toward a twisted, rusted

第十二章 棘手的训练 卡马克队长站在指挥帐前，看着但丁和玛利亚。 “听着，新兵们，”卡马克开口说道。 “要是我的侦察兵发现了爪印，就派你们俩进去。 狗狗可比美洲狮更喜欢人类。 要是你们找到布鲁诺，就喊他的名字。 等他靠近了，你们就给他套上项圈。 之后就吹我教你们的那种哨子。 埃齐中尉？” 一名骑士把一个银色项圈放到了玛利亚手里。 “今天你们先练习，”队长解释道。 “小男娃，你扮演狗狗。 往那些秋千那边跑，找个地方藏起来。” 但丁实在忍不住了。 他四肢着地，急匆匆地朝一个锈迹斑斑、歪歪扭扭的

playground. Kamak laughed. "Okay. Girl cub, you're the dogcatcher. Go collar that mutt!" Malia felt her legs move. She began to follow her cousin's trail, handprints and knee marks in the muddy ground. A few yards behind her came Lieutenant Ezzy, yawning. "Yay," the cougar muttered. "Watching human cubs." Dante had ducked into some bushes near the swings. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Ivan, shoving a healing stone against his

操场跑去。 卡马克笑了起来。 “好了。 小女娃，你扮演捕狗人。 去给那只小杂毛狗套项圈！” 玛利亚感觉自己的腿动了起来。 她顺着表哥的踪迹往前走，泥地上印满了手印和膝盖印。 她身后几码远跟着埃齐中尉，正打着哈欠。 “真棒啊，”这只美洲狮嘟囔着。 “来看人类小孩过家家。” 但丁早就躲进了秋千附近的灌木丛里。 忽然，他感觉有一只手搭在了自己的肩膀上。 是伊万，他正把一块治疗石往但丁的

chest. "Heal up, Shi-PAH-ti!" he whispered. Dante's eyes opened wide! He was about to speak, but Ivan put his finger to his lips so he'd stay quiet. Just then, Malia walked past the swings, her head swiveling back and forth. She saw the marks leading to the bushes. Holding the silver collar tight, she leaned in.

胸口上按。 “好起来吧，西-帕-提！” 他压低声音说道。 但丁的眼睛一下子瞪得圆圆的！ 他刚要开口说话，伊万就把手指放在嘴唇上，示意他保持安静。 就在这时，玛利亚从秋千旁边走了过去，脑袋来回转着四处张望。 她看见了通往灌木丛的那些脚印。 她紧紧攥着银色项圈，身子探了过去。

As fast as he could, Ivan freed her from hypnosis! She started to pull back, but he shook his head. "Wait!" he said softly. "Act like you're still hypnotized. They can't suspect a thing, okay?"

伊万用最快的速度解除了她的催眠！ 她刚要往后退，伊万就摇了摇头。 “等一下！” 他轻声说道。 “装得你好像还在被催眠的样子。 他们不能对咱们起任何疑心，知道吗？”
