3. A STARRY TALE

CHAPTER 3 A STARRY TALE Drake and Petra sat down to look at the book together. The title read, Legend of the Star Dragons. Petra opened the book, which was filled with beautiful pictures. She read aloud the tale of the Star Dragons...

第三章星光灿烂的故事德雷克和佩特拉坐下来一起看书。 书名是《星龙传》。 佩特拉打开书，里面全是美丽的图画。 她大声朗读了星龙的故事。

Every three hundred years, one of the Star Dragons flies down from the sky. She lays an egg at the Star Temple on the highest peak of Mount Sky in Helas. When the egg hatches, the baby dragon flies into the cosmos to join its parents. A baby Star Dragon was usually never seen again, except as a twinkling star in the night sky. Then long ago, a baby Star Dragon named Nova fell to Earth after bumping into an asteroid. Nova was injured, and a girl named Stella helped her heal. When Nova got better, she flew back to the stars.

每隔三百年，就会有一条星龙从天上飞下来。 她在海拉斯天山最高峰的星庙下了一个蛋。 当蛋孵化后，小龙飞到宇宙中与它的父母团聚。 小时候的星龙，除了在夜空中闪烁的星星外，通常不会再出现。 很久以前，一条名叫Nova的小星龙撞上了一颗小行星，坠落到地球上。 诺娃受伤了，一个叫斯特拉的女孩帮她疗伤。 当诺瓦好起来后，她飞回了星星。

But Stella missed her dragon friend. So she asked Harmonia, the Goddess of Music, for help. The goddess created the Star Flute. First, Harmonia played a song to summon Nova back down to the temple. Then she gave Stella a Dragon Stone and Stella became Nova's Dragon Master. Harmonia played a second song that allowed Stella to stay with Nova in the stars forever.

但是斯特拉想念她的龙朋友。 于是她向音乐女神哈莫尼娅求助。 女神创造了星笛。 首先，哈莫尼娅唱了一首歌，召唤诺瓦回到神庙。 然后她给了斯特拉一块龙石，斯特拉就成了诺娃的龙师父。 哈莫尼亚演奏了第二首歌，让斯特拉和诺瓦永远留在了星星上。

"When Stella and Nova flew into the stars, Harmonia hid the flute in a faraway land," Petra read. "But if the flute is found, it may be used to summon Stella and Nova to the temple. They can visit for only a short time, and cannot leave the mountaintop." Petra turned the page and pointed. "This is the tune to play on the flute! It is beautiful."

佩特拉念道：“当斯特拉和诺瓦飞向星星时，哈莫尼娅把笛子藏在了一个遥远的地方。” “但如果找到了笛子，它可能会被用来召唤斯特拉和诺瓦到神庙。 他们只能在这里停留很短的时间，而且不能离开山顶。” 佩特拉翻过那一页，指了指。 “这是笛子要吹的曲调！”它很美。”

"You can read music notes?" Drake asked. "I never learned how to do that." Petra nodded. "I learned so that I can play the flute when Zera sings." "Then you should be the one to summon the Star Dragon," Drake said. "Me?" Petra asked, wide-eyed. "Yes," Drake replied. "There's only one problem. The Star Dragon won't be able to leave Mount Sky." He took a deep breath. "We will have to lure the Shadow Dragon to the temple!"

“你会读乐谱？”德雷克问道。 “我从来没学过怎么做。” 佩特拉点了点头。“我学长笛是为了在泽拉唱歌的时候吹长笛。” “那么你应该去召唤星龙。”德雷克说。 “我?”佩特拉睁大眼睛问。 “是的，”德雷克回答。“只有一个问题。 星龙不能离开天空山。” 他深吸了一口气。“我们得把影龙引到神庙里来！”
