5 Rhgmes of the Christmas Knight

CHAPTER 5 RHYMES OF THE CHRISTMAS NIGHT Morgan? said Annie. Annie ran to the table. She touched Morgan's cheek, then quickly pulled back her hand. She's cold. She's as cold as ice, said Annie. Tears filled her eyes. Annie turned to the Christmas night in a fury. What did you do to Morgan? she asked. Bring her back. Do not fear, said the Christmas night. His voice was softer and kinder. She will come back to life after you complete your quest.

第五章 圣诞夜的歌谣 “摩根？”安妮说道。 安妮跑到了桌子边。 她摸了摸摩根的脸颊，紧接着飞快地收回了手。 她好凉。 “她像冰一样冷。”安妮说。 她的眼里噙满了泪水。 安妮怒气冲冲地转向圣诞夜骑士。 “你对摩根做了什么？”她质问道。 “把她变回来。” “别害怕。”圣诞夜骑士说道。 他的声音更加柔和，也更加亲切。 你们完成任务之后，她就会醒过来的。

What, what exactly is our quest?" said Jack. "'You must journey to the Otherworld,' said the Christmas Knight. "'There you will find a cauldron. The cauldron is filled with the water of memory and imagination. You must bring a cup of the water back to Camelot. If you fail, Camelot will never come back to life. Never." "'How do we do all that?' asked Annie, wiping her eyes. "'Remember these three rhymes,' said the Christmas Knight. "'Wait, let me write them down,' said Jack. His hands trembled as he pulled out his notebook and pencil. He looked at the Christmas Knight. "'Okay, I'm ready,' he said. Gripping his pencil made Jack feel stronger. The Knight's voice rang out from inside his helmet. "'Beyond the Iron Gate, the keepers of the cauldron wait.'"

“什么？我们的任务到底是什么呀？”杰克问道。 “你们必须前往异世界。”圣诞夜骑士说。 “你们会在那里找到一口大锅。 锅里装满了承载着记忆与想象力的水。 你们得装一杯这样的水带回卡米洛特。 要是你们失败了，卡米洛特就永远不会苏醒了。 永远不会。” “那我们要怎么做呀？”安妮一边擦眼泪一边问。 “记住这三段歌谣。”圣诞夜骑士说。 “等等，让我写下来。”杰克说。 他掏出笔记本和铅笔的时候，手还在微微发抖。 他看向圣诞夜骑士。 “好了，我准备好了。”他说。 紧紧攥着铅笔的感觉让杰克多了几分底气。 骑士的声音从头盔里传了出来，洪亮又清晰。 “铁门之外，大锅的守护者正在等候。”

Jack quickly wrote down the night's words. Okay, what's next? he asked. The Christmas night went on. Four gifts you will need. The first from me. Then a cup, a compass, and finally a key. Cup, compass, key, got it, said Jack. The Christmas night's voice boomed again. If you survive to complete your quest, the secret door lies to the west. Jack copied down the last rhyme, then looked up at the night. Anything else? He asked. Without a word, the night pulled off his red cloak. He dropped it to the floor. It fell silently into a heap at Jack and Annie's feet. The Christmas night snapped his horse's red reins, then galloped out of the great hall.

杰克飞快地写下了骑士刚才说的话。 “好的，接下来呢？”他问道。 圣诞夜骑士继续说道。 你需要准备四样礼物。 第一样来自我。 然后是一只杯子、一个指南针，最后是一把钥匙。 “杯子、指南针、钥匙，我记住了。”杰克说。 圣诞夜骑士的声音再次轰隆隆地响起。 “要是你们活着完成了任务，秘密门就在西边。” 杰克抄下最后一段歌谣，然后抬头看向骑士。 还有别的要交代的吗？ 他问道。 骑士一句话也没说，解下了自己的红色披风。 他把披风扔到了地上。 披风悄无声息地落在杰克和安妮的脚边，堆成了一团。 圣诞夜骑士猛地一扯马儿的红色缰绳，就骑着马冲出了大厅。
