3. RUNE AND LYSA

CHAPTER 3 RUNE AND LYSA Drake and Darma shielded their eyes from the bright light of the crystal castle. As they approached the entrance, Drake heard Worm's voice in his head. There is definitely a dragon in here. I can sense her. "Let's introduce ourselves," Drake said.

第三章符文和莱莎·德雷克和达玛挡住了水晶城堡的强光。 当他们接近入口时，德雷克听到蠕虫的声音在他的脑海里。 这里肯定有条龙。 我能感觉到她。“让我们自我介绍一下，”德雷克说。

The glittering doors were partly open. They entered and stepped into a large room. While the walls and floor were gleaming crystal, the room was filled with ordinary-looking wooden furniture: a table and chairs, a cozy bed, and a bookcase filled with books, toys, and seashells. A dragon was lying on a comfy-looking rug, with a boy curled up inside her tail. The boy was moving the pieces of a small wooden cube.

闪闪发光的门半开着。 他们走进一间大房间。 虽然墙壁和地板都是闪闪发光的水晶，但房间里摆满了看起来很普通的木制家具：一张桌子和几把椅子，一张舒适的床，还有一个装满书、玩具和贝壳的书架。 一条龙躺在一条看起来很舒服的地毯上，一个男孩蜷缩在她的尾巴里。 男孩正在移动一个小木块。

That looks like a puzzle cube, Drake thought. The dragon had white, shimmering scales. A symbol made of curved lines in the center of her chest softly glowed with rainbow light. The dragon raised her head when she saw the visitors, and her eyes grew wide.

那看起来像个魔方，德雷克想。 龙的鳞片是白色的，闪闪发光。 在她的胸部中央，一个由曲线组成的符号闪烁着彩虹般的光芒。 龙看到客人时抬起头，眼睛睁得大大的。

The boy's Dragon Stone glowed, and then he looked over and saw the visitors, too. He put down the cube, and his long, red braid swayed as he jumped to his feet. The dragon stood, too, stretching her gleaming white wings. Drake spoke up. "Hello, I'm Drake, and this is Darma. We've come because we need help from you and your Light Dragon." The boy moved his hands and fingers, making shapes in the air. Drake looked at Darma. "Is he trying to tell us something?" "He is using sign language," Darma replied. "Back home, the monks use sign language to communicate when they practice being silent."

男孩的龙石闪闪发光，然后他看了看，也看到了来客。 他放下魔方，跳了起来，长长的红辫子摇晃着。 龙也站了起来，伸展着她闪亮的白色翅膀。 德雷克说话了。“你好，我是德雷克，这是达玛。 我们来是因为我们需要你和你的光龙的帮助。” 这个男孩移动他的手和手指，在空中做出各种形状。 德雷克看着达玛。“他是想告诉我们什么吗？”“他在用手语。”达玛回答。 “在家里，僧侣们练习沉默时用手语交流。”

"Do you know sign language, then?" Drake asked his friend. "I learned some signs from the monks," Darma replied. "But sign language is different in different places. I do not understand these signs." The boy was tapping his foot impatiently as Drake and Darma talked. I wish I knew this Dragon Master's language, Drake thought. Then Drake had an idea. He closed his eyes. Worm, please introduce us to this dragon. After about a minute, Drake heard Worm's reply in his mind. The Light Dragon's name is Lysa. She and her Dragon Master Rune want to know why we are here!

“那么，你懂手语吗？”德雷克问他的朋友。 “我从僧侣那里学到了一些手势。”达摩回答。 “但是手语在不同的地方是不同的。 我不明白这些记号。” 德雷克和达玛谈话时，男孩不耐烦地用脚轻敲着。 我真希望能懂这位龙主的语言，德雷克想。 然后德雷克有了一个主意。他闭上了眼睛。 虫子，请把这条龙介绍给我们。 大约一分钟后，德雷克在脑海中听到了蠕虫的回答。 光龙的名字叫莱莎。 她和她的巨龙大师符文想知道我们为什么在这里！
