4. LOOKING FOR CLUES

CHAPTER 4 LOOKING FOR CLUES Drake put his hand on Worm. "To travel with us, you just need to touch Worm," he explained to their new friend. Llew grinned. "I saw before how you all appeared in a beautiful green light," he said, touching Worm's tail. "Is that how we will get to the cave?" "Yup!" Rori said. She climbed on Vulcan's saddle and touched Worm's back. "Worm, take us to the Crystal Cave!" Drake cried.

第四章寻找线索德雷克把手放在沃姆身上。 “要和我们一起旅行，你只需要触摸蠕虫，”他向他们的新朋友解释道。 Llew咧嘴一笑。“我以前看到你们都出现在一道美丽的绿光里。”他摸着小虫的尾巴说。 “我们就这样到山洞去吗？”“是的!”Rori说。 她爬上瓦肯的马鞍，摸了摸虫子的背。 “虫子，带我们去水晶洞！”德雷克哭了。

Green light flashed, and seconds later, they arrived on a big, flat slab of rock in front of a cave entrance. Llew looked down at his wheelchair. "I'm still in one piece!" he exclaimed. "But my stomach feels fluttery." "I've never gotten used to that feeling," Drake admitted. Llew gazed around. "This is a very exciting beginning to a brand-new story: Llew and the Dragon Masters explore the Crystal Cave!"

绿灯一闪，几秒钟后，他们来到一个山洞入口前的一块又大又平的岩石上。 卢低头看着他的轮椅。 “我还完好无损！” “但是我的胃感觉很不舒服。” “我从来没有习惯过那种感觉，”德雷克承认。 卢环顾四周。“这是一个非常激动人心的全新故事的开始：Llew和龙大师探索水晶洞！”

Rori walked toward a small, wood hut. "Is that where Morgan lived?" "Yes. Griffith probably stayed there, too," Llew said, following her. Rori stepped inside. Llew stopped. "I can't do stairs with my wheelchair. But you should go in, Drake." I've never thought about how easy it is to get around with my two legs, Drake thought as he followed Rori inside the hut. I wonder if Llew feels frustrated when there are places he can't get into?

罗里朝一间小木屋走去。 “那是摩根住的地方吗？”“是的。 格里菲思可能也待在那里。”卢跟着她说。 罗里走了进去。Llew停了下来。 “我坐轮椅上不了楼梯。 但你应该进去，德雷克。” “我从来没有想过用两条腿走路是多么容易，”德雷克跟着罗里走进小屋时想。 我想知道，当有些地方他进不去时，卢会不会感到沮丧？

The tiny space contained a cot, a table and chair, a fireplace—and shelves filled with books. One book sat on the table. Rori picked it up. "Griffith's journal!" she said. "Maybe there's some clue in here about what happened to him." "Let's bring it outside so Llew can see it," Drake suggested. They left the hut, and Rori turned to the last written page in the journal. "This morning I will continue my search of the Crystal Cave," she read aloud. "I believe something terrible has happened to Morgan, and the answer I seek may be there." Drake turned to Llew. "Can you come inside the cave with us?" "The path leading into it looks smooth," Llew replied. "I'd like to try."

这个狭小的空间里有一张小床，一张桌子和椅子，一个壁炉，还有放满书的书架。 桌子上有一本书。 罗里把它捡起来。“格里菲思的日记！” “也许这里有一些关于他身上发生了什么的线索。” “我们把它拿到外面去吧，这样卢就能看到它了。”德雷克建议道。 他们离开了小屋，罗里翻到日记的最后一页。 “今天早上我将继续寻找水晶洞，”她大声朗读。 “我相信摩根出了什么可怕的事，我要找的答案可能就在那里。” 德雷克转向卢。“你能和我们一起进洞吗？”“通往那里的路看起来很平坦。”卢回答。 “我想试试。”

The cave entrance was tall enough for the dragons to pass through. They all entered a large chamber. Sunlight poured through the entrance and lit up the space inside. Crystals grew down from the ceiling, out of the walls, and up from the floor. They sparkled as the sunlight hit them.

洞穴的入口足够高，龙可以通过。 他们都走进了一个大房间。 阳光从入口射进来，照亮了里面的空间。 水晶从天花板往下长，从墙上长出来，从地板上长出来。 它们在阳光照射下闪闪发光。

"This place is called the grotto," Llew explained. "It's the top layer of the cave." Drake gazed at a pale-yellow crystal. "There are so many crystals! And so many different colors!"

“这个地方叫洞穴，”卢解释说。 “这是洞穴的顶层。” 德雷克凝视着一块淡黄色的水晶。 “有这么多水晶！”还有这么多不同的颜色！”
