7 A Strange Dream

CHAPTER 7 A STRANGE DREAM The Dragon Masters jumped to their feet. King Roland swept into the room. He was a big man, with red hair and a bushy beard. He walked right up to Drake. Drake was so nervous, he was shaking.

第七章一个奇怪的梦龙主们跳了起来。 罗兰国王大摇大摆地走进房间。 他身材高大，红头发，留着浓密的胡子。 他径直走向德雷克。 德雷克太紧张了，他在发抖。

"This is my new Dragon Master?" he asked. "Yes, Your Highness," said Griffith. The king frowned. "He's scrawny." Drake felt like sinking into the floor. The king turned to Griffith. "Explain this to me, wizard. My strongest men cannot control dragons. Why is it that these children can?" "It is the way of the Dragon Stone," Griffith said. "It is a mystery, even to me." "Hmph!" snorted the king. "Very well, then. I shall leave my army in your hands." Army? Drake wondered.

“这就是我的新龙师？”他问道。 “是的，殿下。”格里菲思说。 国王皱起眉头。“他骨瘦如柴的。” 德雷克觉得自己要沉到地板上了。 国王转向格里菲思。 “给我解释一下，巫师。 我最强壮的人控制不了龙。 为什么这些孩子可以呢？”“这是龙石的法则。”格里菲斯说。 “即使对我来说，这也是个谜。” “哼！”国王哼了一声。“那好吧。 我将把我的军队交给你。” 军队吗?德雷克很好奇。

King Roland looked at Drake again. "Do not let me down, boy," he said. Then he and the soldier left. Everyone sat back down. The king's words scared Drake. What will happen if I do let him down? Drake wondered. He had a feeling it wouldn't be good. Bo took Drake to their room. There was a bed and a wooden chest for each of them. There was also a desk for them to share. A jug of water sat on a table. "That is your bed," Bo said, pointing. Drake climbed into bed.

罗兰国王又看了看德雷克。 “不要让我失望，孩子，”他说。 然后他和士兵离开了。 大家都坐了下来。国王的话吓坏了德雷克。 如果我让他失望了会怎么样？ 德雷克很好奇。他有一种不好的预感。 波把德雷克带到他们的房间。 他们每个人都有一张床和一个木箱子。 还有一张桌子供他们共用。 桌上放着一壶水。 “那是你的床，”波指着说。 德雷克爬上了床。

The moon shone through a small window. Drake looked over at Bo. He was already sleeping peacefully. Drake soon drifted off to sleep, too. All of the sudden, he was in a dark cave.

月亮透过一扇小窗户照进来。 德雷克看着波。他已经安静地睡着了。 德雷克很快也睡着了。 突然间，他来到了一个黑暗的山洞里。

The air in the cave felt warm. It smelled like the deep, rich dirt where the onions grew. Green eyes glowed in the darkness. Worm! Worm was in the cave. And behind him were other dragons. They all had the same brown scales and green eyes.

山洞里的空气感觉很暖和。 它闻起来像洋葱生长的肥沃的泥土。 绿色的眼睛在黑暗中发光。 蠕虫!虫子在洞里。 在他身后是其他的龙。 它们都长着同样的棕色鳞片和绿色眼睛。

Boom! A loud explosion shook the cave. Smoke filled the air. Worm let out a cry. The dragons slithered across the cave floor, looking for a way out. Drake woke up in his bed, dripping sweat. That was some nightmare, he thought. It felt so real....

繁荣!一声巨响震动了洞穴。 空气中弥漫着烟雾。虫子叫了一声。 巨龙在洞穴地板上滑来滑去，寻找出路。 德雷克从床上醒来，浑身是汗。 那是一场噩梦，他想。 感觉很真实....
