8 Ch8-The Past

CHAPTER 8 THE PAST Drake's thoughts were spinning. "What do you mean, you sent us back in time?" he asked the imp. "Actually, the Time Dragon sent us traveling through time," Beezel replied. "I just changed the clock and used a magical blast to get your friends and dragons off the clock— so only you and I would end up lost in time somewhere."

第八章过去德雷克的思绪在旋转。 “你把我们送回过去是什么意思?”他问小恶魔。 “实际上，是时间龙让我们进行了时间旅行。”比泽尔回答。 “我只是改变了时钟，用魔法把你的朋友和龙从时钟上赶走了——所以只有你和我最终会迷失在时间的某个地方。”

Beezel held up Drake's Dragon Stone, dangling from its chain. "Oh, and I stole this from you," she added. "So you can't ask your dragon for any help!" "Give that back!" Drake said, lunging for the imp. Beezel jumped up onto a tree branch, out of Drake's reach.

比泽尔举起德雷克的龙石，它悬挂在链子上。 “哦，这是从你那儿偷来的，”她补充说。 “所以你不能向你的龙求助!”“还给我!”德雷克说，扑向小恶魔。 比泽尔跳到德雷克够不着的树枝上。

"You can't catch me!" she taunted him. "I don't understand," Drake said. "Why did you do this to me? And how do you know magic?" "I am an imp, from the Isle of Imps," Beezel replied. "We have magical powers. Not as strong as a wizard's powers, though. Definitely not as strong as Maldred's!" Drake's eyes got wide. "How do you know Maldred?" "He took me from my family when I was just a baby imp, and I grew up in his hideout," Beezel replied. "I was happy with Maldred. But then one day he left and never came back. I'm all alone, and now I know it's your fault!"

“你抓不到我的!”她嘲弄他。 “我不明白，”德雷克说。 “你为什么要这样对我?” 你是怎么知道魔法的?”“我是个小恶魔，来自小鬼岛。”比泽尔回答。 “我们有魔力。不过没有巫师的力量强大。 绝对没有玛德雷德的强!”德雷克睁大了眼睛。 “你是怎么认识玛德丽德的?”“当我还是个小恶魔的时候，他就把我从家里带走了，我在他的藏身处长大，”比泽尔回答。 “我和玛德丽德在一起很开心。 但是有一天他离开了，再也没有回来。 我孤身一人，现在我知道这都是你的错!”

"What do you mean, it's my fault?" Drake asked. "I heard you and your redheaded friend talking in the hideout today," Beezel said. "You trapped Maldred in a bottle. I'll never see him again." "Maldred wanted to destroy the world," Drake shot back. "We had to stop him!" "He was my friend!" the imp cried, stomping her foot. "You made me mad. That's why I turned invisible and hitched a ride on your back and traveled with you to the Time Dragon. Then I messed with the clock so you would be stuck all alone without any friends, just like I am."

“你什么意思，是我的错?”德雷克问道。 “今天我听见你和你的红发朋友在藏身处谈话了。”比泽尔说。 “你把玛德丽德困在一个瓶子里。 我再也见不到他了。” “玛德雷德想毁灭世界，”德雷克反驳道。 “我们必须阻止他!”“他是我的朋友!”小恶魔一边跺着脚一边叫道。 “你让我发疯了。所以我变成了隐形人骑在你的背上和你一起去找时间之龙。 然后我把时钟弄乱了，这样你就会像我一样，一个人孤零零地呆着，没有朋友。”

Drake gasped. "That's why I felt those itches on my neck!" Beezel grinned. "Yup! Pretty cool, right? I love turning invisible. Wait, I'll show you." She squeezed her eyes shut, grunting. Then her eyes fluttered open. "Rats! It's not working! That big blast drained my magic." Drake gazed around him. "So now we're in the past," he said. "That's right!" Beezel said with a grin. "I wasn't sure where we would end up, but I like how it turned out. You haven't met your dragon yet. Or any of your friends. You're not Drake the Dragon Master. You're just a regular boy!"

德雷克气喘吁吁地说。“这就是我脖子上痒的原因!”Beezel咧嘴一笑。 “是的!很酷，对吧?我喜欢隐身。 等等，我给你看。”她紧紧闭上眼睛，哼了一声。 然后她的眼睛眨了一下。 “老鼠!不管用!那场大爆炸耗尽了我的魔法。” 德雷克环顾四周。“所以现在我们是在过去，”他说。 “没错!”比泽尔笑着说。 “我不确定我们最终会在哪里结束，但我喜欢结果。 你还没见过你的龙呢。 或者你的任何朋友。你不是龙主德雷克。 你只是个普通的男孩!”

Drake thought quickly. "I can still go to the castle. I'll talk to Worm. He will understand, even if he doesn't recognize me. I can fix this!" "Ha!" Beezel snorted. "You can't talk to Worm without your Dragon Stone, remember?" She dangled it again. Drake thought quickly. "I guess you win," he said. He turned his back to her. "Hee hee!" Beezel cried. "That was easy!" Drake spun around. He shook the tree branch.

德雷克想得很快。“我还能去城堡。 我去和虫子谈谈。他会理解的，即使他认不出我。 我可以解决这个问题!”“哈!”Beezel哼了一声。 “没有龙石你不能和虫子说话，记得吗?”她又晃了晃。 德雷克想得很快。“我猜你赢了，”他说。 他背对着她。 “嘻嘻!”Beezel哭了。“太简单了!”德雷克转过身来。 他摇了摇树枝。
