8 A Strange Boy

CHAPTER 8 A STRANGE BOY Rori stepped closer to the boy. "Why should we follow you?" she asked. "We don't even know you!" "Trust me," the boy said, just as the robbers' voices grew louder. "I am surprised to see that you have dragons. But I know how to keep them safe. Come on!" "We must hurry!" Ana said.

罗里走近了那个男孩。 “我们为什么要跟着你？”她问。 “我们根本不认识你！”“相信我，”男孩说，这时强盗们的声音越来越大了。 “看到你有龙，我很惊讶。 但我知道如何保证他们的安全。 来吧!”“我们必须快点！”安娜说。

They had no choice. The boy waved for them to follow him. He touched the pyramid. One of the big stones pushed in, revealing an opening. A secret door! Drake thought. "Inside, quick!" the boy said. "Dragons first." He stepped aside to let them in. Kepri was weak, but Worm nudged her gently with his nose. She stepped through the door. As Drake walked past the boy, he saw a cord around the boy's neck. Something green and sparkling was dangling from the cord. A Dragon Stone!

他们别无选择。男孩挥手示意他们跟着他。 他摸了摸金字塔。一块大石头插了进来，露出了一个开口。 暗门！德雷克的想法。 “进去，快！”男孩说。 “龙第一。”他走到一边让他们进去。 凯普里很虚弱，但沃姆用鼻子轻轻地推了推她。 她跨进了门。 当德雷克从男孩身边走过时，他看到一根绳子绕在男孩的脖子上。 绳子上挂着一个闪闪发光的绿色东西。 龙石！

The boy slipped in behind Drake and the secret door closed. They were inside a dark tunnel. Flaming torches lined the walls. Drake turned to the boy. "Who are you? Are you a Dragon Master, too?" He pointed to the green stone around the boy's neck. Ana, Rori, and Bo gasped when they saw it. The boy smiled. "My name is Heru," he said. "I do not know what a Dragon Master is. My father gave me this stone."

男孩从德雷克身后溜了进来，暗门关上了。 他们在一个黑暗的隧道里。 墙上排列着燃烧的火把。 德雷克转向男孩。“你是谁？” 你也是龙师傅吗？”他指着男孩脖子上那块绿色的石头。 安娜、罗里和波看到后倒吸了一口冷气。 男孩笑了。“我叫荷如，”他说。 “我不知道什么是龙师。 这块石头是我父亲给我的。”

"King Roland calls us Dragon Masters," Drake explained. "We were chosen by the Dragon Stone to work with dragons." "I have not heard of King Roland. Are you from far away?" Heru asked. Bo nodded. "Very far." Heru frowned. "How strange. Can you tell me why Wati brought me here tonight?" Ana was stroking Kepri's neck. The dragon's eyes seemed brighter now that she was inside the pyramid. "Who's Wati?" Drake asked. Heru grinned. "He is my dragon."

“罗兰国王称我们为龙大师，”德雷克解释道。 “我们是被龙石选中来和龙一起工作的。” “我没有听说过罗兰国王。 你是从远方来的吗？”Heru问道。 波点了点头。“很远”。Heru皱起了眉头。 “多么奇怪。你能告诉我今晚瓦蒂为什么带我来这里吗？”安娜抚摸着凯普里的脖子。 龙的眼睛在她进入金字塔后显得更明亮了。 “Wati是谁?”德雷克问道。 Heru咧嘴一笑。“他是我的龙。”

By now they had left the tunnel. They were inside a dark room. Drake looked up. The ceiling was so far above that he couldn't see it. Then something appeared out of the darkness. A huge, black dragon flew down from the ceiling. His eyes glowed bright yellow. "Aaaiieeeee!" With a loud cry, the dragon flew down, charging right at them!

这时他们已经离开了隧道。 他们在一个黑暗的房间里。 德雷克抬起头来。天花板高高在上，他看不见。 然后有什么东西从黑暗中出现了。 一条巨大的黑龙从天花板上飞了下来。 他的眼睛闪着明黄色的光芒。 “Aaaiieeeee !”恶龙大叫一声，飞了下来，向他们冲了过来！
