8 Flying Practice

CHAPTER 8 FLYING PRACTICE After breakfast the next morning, Drake went back underground with Griffith and the other Dragon Masters. "Why do we train all the way down here?" Drake asked as they walked.

第八章飞行训练第二天早饭后，德雷克和格里菲思以及其他龙主一起回到地下。 “我们为什么要一路跑到这里来训练？”德雷克边走边问。

"Don't you know?" Rori said. "We're a secret. No one knows the dragons are here. No one knows the Dragon Stone is real. And no one knows about us." Drake looked at the wizard. "It is true," Griffith said. "The king does not want others to know about the dragons." "Because he's building a dragon army?" Drake asked. "That is the king's business, not ours," said Griffith. He opened the door to the hallway of dragon caves. "Collect your dragons. We are going outside today." "Hooray!" yelled Ana, Rori, and Bo.

“你不知道吗?”Rori说。 “我们是秘密。没人知道龙在这里。 没人知道龙之石是真的。 没有人知道我们的事。” 德雷克看着巫师。 “这是真的，”格里菲斯说。 “国王不想让别人知道龙的事。” “因为他在组建一支龙军队？”德雷克问道。 “那是国王的事，不是我们的事。”格里菲斯说。 他打开通往龙洞走廊的门。 “收集你的龙。我们今天要出去。” “万岁！”安娜、罗里和波喊道。

"But won't someone see us if we go outside?" asked Drake. "No, we'll be hidden in the Valley of Clouds," said Ana. "Hurry, go get Worm!" Drake ran through the winding hallway to Worm's cave. Worm raised his head and looked at him. It reminded Drake of his nightmare. He shivered. "Come on, Worm. We are going outside," Drake said, as he opened the gate. Worm crawled out of his cave. Griffith led them all down a dark tunnel.

“但是如果我们出去，不会有人看见我们吗？”德雷克问。 “不，我们要躲在云谷里。”安娜说。 “快，去把虫子找来！”德雷克跑过蜿蜒的走廊，来到蠕虫的洞穴。 虫子抬起头看着他。 这让德雷克想起了他的噩梦。 他不禁打了个哆嗦。“来吧，虫子。 我们要出去了，”德雷克一边说，一边打开大门。 虫子爬出了他的洞穴。 格里菲斯领着他们走下一条黑暗的隧道。

The tunnel opened up into a bright field of grass. Tall hills rose up on all sides. "The sun!" cheered Ana. She twirled around. Drake looked up at the sun and smiled. "So what do we do out here?" he asked. Ana grinned. "We fly," she said. She patted Kepri on the head. "Show him, girl." Kepri raised her long neck and flew straight up. She looped and swirled in the air. Drake watched her, shading his eyes from the sun. He had never seen anything like it.

隧道通向一片明亮的草地。 四面耸立着高大的小山。 “太阳！”安娜欢呼道。她转过身来。 德雷克抬头看着太阳，笑了。 “那我们在外面做什么呢？”他问。 安娜笑了。“我们坐飞机，”她说。 她拍了拍Kepri的头。 “给他看看，姑娘。”Kepri抬起她的长脖子，笔直地飞了起来。 她在空中打转打转。 德雷克看着她，遮住眼睛不让阳光照到。 他从未见过这样的景象。

"Wait till you see Vulcan fly," Rori said. "Vulcan! Circle!" Vulcan flapped his big, red wings. He flew up into the sky and circled the field. "Wow!" Drake said. He looked over at Bo. "Your dragon doesn't have wings, but can she fly, too?" he asked. Bo nodded. "She does not need wings," he said. "Shu, please fly." Shu floated up off the grass.

“等着看火神飞吧，”罗里说。 “火神!圆!”火神拍打着他的红色大翅膀。 他飞上天空，在田野上空盘旋。 “哇!”德雷克说。他看着波。 “你的龙没有翅膀，但她也能飞吗？”他问。 波点了点头。“她不需要翅膀，”他说。 “舒，请飞吧。”舒从草地上浮了起来。

"It's like she's swimming through the air," Drake said. "Yes," said Bo. "How Shu flies is very much like how one swims. She can ride the winds." Drake looked at Worm. His tiny wings did not look like they could lift him. "What about you, Worm?" he asked. "Can you fly, too?"

“就像她在空中游泳一样，”德雷克说。 “是的，”波说。“舒飞的方式和游泳的方式很像。 她能乘风而上。”德雷克看着虫子。 他的小翅膀似乎无法把他举起来。 “你呢，虫子？”他问。 “你也会飞吗？”
