11. THE MOVING MAZE

CHAPTER 11 THE MOVING MAZE The ceiling opened up, revealing the night sky overhead, which was a shade paler than when they had entered the maze. Drake's Dragon Stone began to glow. Rune says: Nights here are very short at this time of year. We need to hurry!

第十一章移动的迷宫天花板打开了，露出了头顶上的夜空，这比他们进入迷宫时要暗淡一些。 德雷克的龙石开始发光。 符文说：每年这个时候这里的夜晚都很短。 我们得快点了！

The floor carried them back above ground and then stopped. The labyrinth was different now. Instead of stone, the walls were made of thick, green, leafy hedges. "Let's keep moving," Drake said, and they made their way down the path. They turned left, then right, then right, then left again. "I hope we're getting closer to the Star Flute and not just going in circles again," Drake muttered. The Dragon Masters walked ahead of their dragons, in silence, as they made their way through the maze. Drake walked beside Rune, with Darma just behind them.

地板把他们抬到地面上，然后停了下来。 迷宫现在不同了。 墙不是用石头砌成的，而是用茂密的绿叶树篱砌成的。 “我们继续走吧，”德雷克说，他们沿着小路往前走。 他们向左拐，然后向右拐，再向右拐，然后又向左拐。 “我希望我们离星笛越来越近，而不是又在原地打转。”德雷克喃喃地说。 龙的主人默默地走在他们的龙的前面，穿过迷宫。 德雷克走在符文旁边，达玛跟在他们后面。

Then they all felt a rumbling in their feet. The earth shook. Suddenly, a green hedge wall burst from the ground behind Drake and Rune! Spinning around, Drake saw that Worm, Lysa, Hema, and Darma were on the other side of the wall. "Worm!" Drake yelled.

接着，他们都感到脚上有隆隆声。 大地震动了。突然，一堵绿色的树篱从德雷克和符文身后的地面上拔地而起！德雷克转过身来，看见虫子、莱莎、赫玛和达玛在墙的另一边。 “虫子!”德雷克喊道。

Another wall burst through the ground in front of them. Rune grabbed Drake's arm, pulling Drake toward him. Drake and Rune made the next turn together and continued through the maze, changing direction as more walls popped up around them.

另一堵墙在他们面前冲出地面。 符文抓住德雷克的胳膊，把德雷克拉向自己。 德雷克和符文一起转了下一个弯，继续穿过迷宫，当他们周围出现更多的墙壁时，他们改变了方向。

The two boys stopped, breathless, when they came to a dark, murky pond. A wall rose up behind them, trapping thems The only way forward was through the water. Worm, can you hear me? Drake called out with his mind. Yes, Worm replied. Walls separate us now. Keep moving. We will find each other. Rune had stepped up to the pond. Drake joined him and stared into the water. "It looks deep. We might have to swim," he said. Then he realized that without Worm and Lysa, roe wouldn't know what he was saying.

两个男孩上气不接下气地停了下来，这时他们来到了一个黑暗、浑浊的池塘。 一堵墙在他们身后拔地而起，把他们困住了。 虫子，你能听到我吗？德雷克不由自主地喊道。 “是的，”虫子回答。墙把我们隔开了。 继续前进。我们会找到彼此的。 符文走到池塘边。 德雷克也跟着他，盯着水里看。 “看起来很深。我们可能不得不游过去，”他说。 然后他意识到，没有沃姆和莱莎，罗伊根本听不懂他在说什么。

I wish I knew the sign for swim, he thought. Drake made a paddling motion with his arms, hoping Rune would understand. Yes, Rune signed in reply. Then he showed Drake the sign for swim. He held out his open hands in front of him, palms facing down. He moved them apart and back together in small, circular motions. Just then, Drake heard a voice in his head But it wasn't Worm's! Who dares to approach my pond? the voice said.

但愿我知道游泳的标志，他想。 德雷克用手臂划了划，希望符文能理解。 “是的，”符文回答道。 然后他向德雷克展示了游泳的标志。 他把张开的双手放在身前，掌心朝下。 他以小圆圈的动作把它们分开又合在一起。 就在这时，德雷克听到脑袋里有个声音但那不是虫子的声音！谁敢走近我的池塘？ 那声音说。
