9 Whispers

CHAPTER 9 WHISPERS And that is how to shine a dragon's scales," Griffith was saying later that week. "Remember, brush one scale at a time. No shortcuts." Rori sighed. "When can we go out again?" Drake was glad Rori had asked. They had been stuck in the Training Room for three days.

第九章窃窃私语这就是让龙的鳞片发光的方法。”那个星期晚些时候，格里菲思说。 “记住，一次刷一个鳞片。 没有捷径。”Rori叹了口气。 “我们什么时候能再出去？”德雷克很高兴罗里这么问。 他们在训练室里被困了三天。

Drake liked learning about dragons, but he was used to being outside all day every day on his farm back home. He was starting to forget what the sun looked like. The wizard patted a tall pile of books on his desk. "There is much for you to learn first. We will go out again soon, Rori." Then a soldier came in. He handed something to Griffith. The wizard smiled. "Drake, it is a letter for you." "Read it out loud!" Ana said. Drake quickly nodded to Griffith.

德雷克喜欢学习关于龙的知识，但他已经习惯了在家里的农场里整天呆在外面。 他开始忘记太阳是什么样子了。 巫师拍了拍桌子上的一大堆书。 “你要先学习的东西很多。 我们很快就会再出去的，罗里。” 这时一个士兵走了进来。他递给格里菲思一样东西。 巫师笑了。“德雷克，这是给你的信。” “大声读出来！”安娜说。 德雷克迅速向格里菲斯点了点头。

Dear Drake, We are glad you are safe. We still don't know why the king brought you there. Can you tell us? Please keep writing so we won't worry. And thank you to your friend Bo for helping you to write to us. Love, Your Mother

亲爱的德雷克，我们很高兴你平安无事。 我们还是不知道国王为什么带你去那里。 你能告诉我们吗？请继续写信，这样我们就不会担心了。 谢谢你的朋友波帮你写信给我们。 爱你的母亲

"Your mother sounds nice," Bo said. Drake's eyes started to burn. He held back his tears. "Thanks," he said. "May I send another letter to tell her about the dragons?" "You must not say anything about the dragons," Griffith said. "The king's secret must be kept." The wizard stood up. "Now, it is time to shine your dragons. fclnef. Let us go."

“你妈妈听起来不错，”波说。 德雷克的眼睛开始发热。 他强忍住眼泪。“谢谢，”他说。 “我可以再写一封信告诉她龙的事吗？”“你不能说任何关于龙的事。”格里菲斯说。 “必须保守国王的秘密。” 巫师站了起来。“现在，是时候让你的龙闪耀了。 我们走吧。”

As they were leaving the Training Room. Rori ran over to Ana. She started whispering to her. Drake kept an eye on Rori as they walked toward the dragon caves. She has a sneaky look on her face, he thought. What are she and Ana up to?

当他们离开训练室的时候。 罗里跑向安娜。她开始对她耳语。 当他们走向龙洞时，德雷克一直盯着罗里。 她脸上有一种鬼鬼祟祟的表情，他想。 她和安娜在做什么？
