5 Do Something!

CHAPTER 5 DO SOMETHING! The Training Room was one big, open space. Shields and long poles hung from the walls. Buckets held water and sand. And at one end of the room was a round target. Straw stuffing poked out from the sides.

第五章做点什么！训练室是一个很大的开放空间。 墙上挂着盾牌和长杆。 水桶里装着水和沙子。 在房间的一端有一个圆形的靶子。 稻草填充物从两边伸出来。

Griffith pointed at the target. Sparks flew from his finger and a red bull's-eye showed up on the target. "It's time for target practice!" the wizard said. "Me first!" Rori called out. "Vulcan, come!" The red dragon stomped forward. "Vulcan, fire!" Rori yelled. The dragon's orange eyes glowed. Then two streams of fire shot from his nose. The streams twisted together. The fire hit the bull's-eye. "Perfect!" Rori cheered. Then the straw burst into flames! Drake jumped back.

格里菲斯指着目标。 火花从他的手指上飞出，一个红色的靶心出现在了目标上。 “该练习打靶了！”巫师说。 “我先!”罗里喊道。 “火神,来了!”红龙大步向前。 “火神,火!”Rori喊道。 龙的橙色眼睛闪闪发光。 接着，两股火从他的鼻子里喷了出来。 小溪扭曲在一起。 火正中靶心。 “完美!”Rori欢呼。然后稻草突然燃烧起来！德雷克跳了回去。

"Good aim," said Griffith. "Bo, can you help put the fire out?" "Yes," said Bo. He looked at his dragon. "Shu," he said simply. He didn't yell like Rori. Shu swiftly crossed the room. Did her feet even touch the ground? wondered Drake. "Water, please, Shu," Bo said. A stream of water sprayed out of the blue dragon's mouth. The fire sizzled. Water droplets danced in the air, lit up by the torches.

“瞄得准。”格里菲思说。 “波，你能帮忙把火扑灭吗？”“是的，”波说。 他看着他的龙。“舒，”他简单地说。 他不像罗里那样大喊大叫。舒迅速穿过房间。 她的脚着地了吗？ 想知道德雷克。“请给我水，舒，”波说。 一股水流从蓝龙的嘴里喷了出来。 火滋滋作响。被火把照亮的水滴在空中飞舞。

"Kepri! Rainbow time!" Ana cried. Kepri glided across the room. Drake thought her white scales looked like jewels. A soft beam of light came out of Kepri's mouth. It grew wider and wider. When it hit the water droplets, it made a rainbow! "Wow," Drake said. "Isn't she amazing?" asked Bo. Ana smiled. Rori put her hands on her hips. "Now let's see what Worm can do," she said. Drake felt nervous. He looked at Worm. "Um, Worm, are you ready?" Drake asked. Worm stared back at him.

“Kepri !彩虹!”安娜哭了。 凯普里滑过房间。 德雷克觉得她的白色鳞片看起来像珠宝。 一束柔和的光从Kepri的嘴里射出来。 它变得越来越宽。当它碰到水滴时，就形成了彩虹！“哇，”德雷克说。 “她是不是很神奇？”波问。 安娜笑了。罗里双手叉腰。 “现在让我们看看虫子能做什么，”她说。 德雷克感到很紧张。他看着虫子。 “嗯，虫子，你准备好了吗？”德雷克问道。 虫子也盯着他。

I guess that means yes, thought Drake. "Okay, Worm. Fire!" Drake jumped back in case fire came out of Worm's mouth. But Worm just lay there. "Not all dragons can shoot fire," said Bo. Drake nodded. "Right. Okay, Worm. Water!" But Worm didn't shoot water. "Ha!" Rori laughed. "I knew it. Worm can't do anything." Drake's cheeks grew hot with anger. "He's just warming up," he said. "Come on, Worm. Shoot light out of your mouth!" Still nothing. "You call that a dragon?" Rori said. "Please, Worm?" Drake whispered to his dragon. "Do something!" Worm just blinked.

我想这意味着是的，德雷克想。 “好的,蠕虫。火!”德雷克往后一跳，以防虫子嘴里冒出火来。 但是虫子只是躺在那里。“不是所有的龙都会射火，”波说。 德雷克点点头。“正确。好的,有虫吃。 水!”但是虫子没有射水。 “哈!”Rori笑了。“我就知道。 虫子什么也做不了。”德雷克的脸颊气得发烫。 “他只是在热身，”他说。 “来吧，虫子。从你嘴里射光！”还是什么都没有。 “你说那是龙？”Rori说。 “请,虫?”德雷克低声对他的龙说。 “做点什么!”虫子刚刚眨了眨眼。

"Do not worry, Drake. Getting to know your dragon takes time," Griffith said. "Target practice is over for today. Let's go eat." Bo grabbed Drake's elbow. "I hope you're hungry, Drake! The Dragon Masters get as much food as we want," said Bo. Drake was hungry so this news made him feel a little better. But he had failed the training. How can I be a Dragon Master if my dragon won't do anything I ask it to do? he thought. I'm only an onion farmer. I don't belong here.

“别担心，德雷克。了解你的龙需要时间，”格里菲斯说。 “今天的打靶练习结束了。 我们去吃饭吧。”波抓住德雷克的胳膊肘。 “我希望你饿了，德雷克！”我们想要多少，龙主人就有多少。”波说。 德雷克很饿，所以这个消息让他感觉好一点。 但他没有通过培训。 如果我的龙不听我的吩咐，我怎么能成为龙主呢？ 他想。我只是一个种洋葱的农民。 我不属于这里。
