2 Ch2-The Tale of the Naga

CHAPTER 2 THE TALE OF THE NAGA A long, long time ago," Griffith began, "when magic was new, there was a terrible earthquake." "I was in an earthquake once," Petra said. "The ground shook. And some buildings in my village crumbled into pieces."

“很久很久以前，”格里菲思开始说，“当魔法刚刚兴起的时候，发生了一场可怕的地震。” “我经历过一次地震，”佩特拉说。 大地震动了。我村子里的一些建筑也倒塌了。”

"During this terrible earthquake, the ground opened up," Griffith continued. "It coughed up a dragon egg from the deepest part of the world. The egg was as big as a mountain." Bo's eyes got wide. "Was that the Naga's egg?" "Yes," Griffith replied. "The Naga has the power of earthquakes. He uses the power of his mind, much like Worm does." Griffith was talking about Drake's Earth Dragon, Worm. "The Naga sounds much bigger than Worm," Drake said.

“在这场可怕的地震中，地面裂开了，”格里菲斯继续说。 “它咳出了一个来自世界最深处的龙蛋。 这颗蛋像一座山那么大。” 波睁大了眼睛。“那是那伽的蛋吗?”“是的，”格里菲斯回答。 “那迦有地震的力量。 他使用他的思想的力量，就像虫子一样。” 格里菲斯说的是德雷克的土龙虫。 “那伽听起来比虫子大得多，”德雷克说。

"Indeed," Griffith agreed. "And his power is one hundred times greater than Worm's." Drake's mouth dropped open. He couldn't imagine Worm being that powerful! Griffith went on. "When the young Naga hatched, he could not control his powers. He started to destroy the earth. He brought down mountains. He caused great floods." "Oh no! That's terrible!" Ana cried. "Did anybody stop him?" "Yes. The wizards did," Griffith answered. "They knew the Naga was too big, and too powerful, to be out in the world. So they returned him to his home." "How did they do that?" Petra asked.

“的确，”格里菲思表示同意。 “而且他的力量比虫子大一百倍。” 德雷克的嘴张得大大的。 他无法想象Worm有那么强大!格里菲思接着说。 “当年轻的那伽诞生时，他无法控制自己的力量。 他开始毁灭地球。 他推倒了群山。 他引起了大洪水。”“哦,不!太可怕了!”安娜哭了。 “有人阻止他吗?”“是的。 是巫师干的。”格里菲思回答。 “他们知道那伽太大，太强大，不可能出现在这个世界上。 他们就送他回家去了。” “他们是怎么做到的?”佩特拉问道。

"They made two magical tools that gave them control of the Naga," Griffith replied. "The wizards of the north made the Silver Key. And the wizards of the south made the Gold Key. They used these keys to make the Naga go back into the earth." Drake realized something. "When Maldred attacked the castle, he was trying to take Worm so he could use his powers," he said. "Do you think he wants to use the Naga for his powers, too?" "I am afraid so," Griffith replied.

“他们制造了两种神奇的工具来控制那迦，”格里菲斯回答说。 “是北方的巫师制造了银钥匙。 南方的巫师制造了金钥匙。 他们用这些钥匙让那伽回到了地下。” 德雷克意识到了什么。“当玛德雷德袭击城堡时，他想带走沃姆，这样他就可以使用他的力量了。” “你认为他也想利用那伽来获得他的力量吗?”“恐怕是这样，”格里菲思回答。

"Where are the keys now?" Petra asked. Griffith held up his finger. Blue sparks shot from it. He began to draw an image in the air out of magical blue light. The first image was a round disc with strange-looking symbols on it. "This is the Silver Key," Griffith said. "It is hidden somewhere in the northern part of the world, guarded by a Silver Dragon."

“现在钥匙在哪儿?”佩特拉问道。 格里菲思举起手指。 蓝色的火花从里面射出。他开始用神奇的蓝光在空中画一幅画。 第一张图片是一个圆形的圆盘，上面有一些奇怪的符号。 “这是银钥匙，”格里菲斯说。 “它被藏在世界北部的某个地方，由一条银龙守护。”

He drew another disc, with different symbols. "This is the Gold Key," he said. "It is hidden somewhere in the southern part of the world, guarded by a Gold Dragon." "And the book Diego stole tells how to find the keys..." Drake guessed, and the wizard nodded. Then Rori said aloud what they were all thinking: "If Maldred finds these keys, he will have control of the Naga. He could destroy the world!"

他又画了一个圆盘，上面有不同的符号。 “这是金钥匙，”他说。 “它被藏在世界南部的某个地方，由一条金龙守护着。” “还有迭戈偷来的那本书，上面写着如何找到钥匙……” 德雷克猜到了，巫师点了点头。 然后罗里大声说出了大家的想法:“如果马德雷德找到这些钥匙，他就会控制娜迦。 他可以毁灭世界!”
