8 THE LAND OF THE LOST

CHAPTER 8 THE LAND OF THE LOST What makes the Land of the Lost so very dangerous for you?" Drake asked Kishar. "The land is based on dreams that people have when they can't find their way home," she explained. "Dreamers leave the land when they wake up. But Mamu and I have gotten lost there for days."

第八章失踪者之地是什么使失踪者之地对你来说如此危险？”德雷克问基沙尔。 “这片土地是基于人们在找不到回家的路时的梦想，”她解释说。 “梦想家一觉醒来就离开这片土地。 可是我和妈妈已经在那儿迷路好几天了。”

"Can't Mamu just fly up and away?" Drake asked. Kishar shook her head. "The energy of this land latches onto anyone who visits, and doesn't want to let you go. It also affects Mamu and me." "That probably means Zoltan is still stuck there, right?" Drake asked. "Yes," Kishar replied. "But even if Mamu follows his trail, we might get lost, too." "Luckily, I only ended up there once in my dreams," Llew said. "It's so eerie there." Drake remembered something. "What about Worm?" Drake asked. "Maybe he won't get stuck there, because he's an Earth Dragon." "Good thinking, Drake," Kishar said. "We should all stick close to Worm." "I will help!" Llew said. "I can—

“妈妈就不能飞起来离开吗？”德雷克问道。 基沙尔摇了摇头。“这片土地的能量吸引着每一个到访的人，不想让你离开。 这也影响到我和妈妈。” “这可能意味着佐尔坦还被困在那里，对吗？”德雷克问道。 “是的，”基沙尔回答。“但是，即使马木跟着他的足迹走，我们也可能迷路。” “幸运的是，我只在梦里去过那里一次，”卢说。 “那里太诡异了。”德雷克想起了什么。 “那虫子呢？”德雷克问道。 “也许他不会被困在那里，因为他是一条土龙。” “好主意，德雷克，”基沙尔说。 “我们都应该跟紧虫子。” “我会帮忙的！”Llew说。“我可以,

As he spoke, Llew's body began to fade. "I'm waking up!" he cried. "My wizard's pet rooster is crowing before dawn again. Sorry! Bye, Drake and Kishar!" Llew completely disappeared as he left the Dream World. Kishar "Llew was smart to trick Zoltan," remarked. "If the wizard is stuck in the Land of the Lost, he can't find the fountain."

说着，卢的身体开始衰弱。 “我醒了！”他叫道。 “我的巫师宠物公鸡又在黎明前打鸣了。 对不起!再见，德雷克和基沙尔！”卢在离开梦幻世界时完全消失了。 “卢很聪明，骗了佐尔坦。” “如果巫师被困在失落之地，他就找不到喷泉了。”

Kishar and Drake climbed back onto their dragons. Mamu and Worm flew away from the Land of Endless Treats. They hadn't flown far when the blue sky around them grew dark. Drake looked down. A gray mist hovered over the land below. Mamu and Worm flew toward the haze. Drake shivered as the damp air touched his skin. The mist had settled over a forest of trees with dark gray trunks and dark green leaves that looked almost black. The trees were crowded together, and Drake wondered how they were going to land. But Mamu found a break in the trees big enough for both dragons to set down.

基沙尔和德雷克爬上了他们的龙。 妈妈和虫子飞离了无尽的乐土。 他们没飞多远，周围的蓝天就变暗了。 德雷克低下头。灰色的薄雾笼罩着下面的大地。 妈妈和虫子飞向薄雾。 当潮湿的空气接触到德雷克的皮肤时，他颤抖了。 雾气笼罩着一片树木的森林，这些树木的树干深灰色，叶子深绿色，看上去几乎是黑色的。 树木挤在一起，德雷克不知道他们要怎么降落。 但马木在树林里找到了一个足够大的空隙，让两条龙都能坐下来。

A wide beam of light shone from Mamu's mouth into the forest. The light revealed a tangle of sparkly trails that zigzagged all through the trees. "Zoltan was here, and it looks like he's been traveling in circles," Kishar reported. "I hope that means he's still lost. Let's follow one of his trails and see where it takes us."

一束宽阔的光从马木的嘴里照进了森林。 在光线下，树林里出现了一团曲折的闪光痕迹。 “佐尔坦在这里，看起来他一直在兜圈子，”基沙尔报道说。 “我希望这意味着他仍然迷路了。 我们沿着他的一条路走，看看能走到哪里。”

Mamu walked and Worm crawled through the forest. The pathways between the trees were so narrow that Drake and Worm had to follow behind Mamu and Kishar.

马木走着，虫子爬着穿过森林。 树林间的小路太窄了，德雷克和沃姆不得不跟在马穆和基沙尔后面。
