5 Bo's Story

CHAPTER 5 BO'S STORY Bow's hands were shaking. He looked up at Griffith. Drake stood frozen in the doorway. "Come in, Drake," Griffith said. Drake obeyed. The wizard's eyes stayed on Bo. "This is very serious. I set this trap because I thought someone inside the castle had tried to steal the stone last night. I said I was leaving the castle, but then I hid in here. I had to see if the thief would come back. And he did— you did."

第五章波的故事鲍的手在颤抖。 他抬头望着格里菲思。德雷克呆呆地站在门口。 “进来，德雷克。”格里菲斯说。 德雷克遵守。巫师的眼睛一直盯着波。 “这是非常严重的。我设下这个陷阱是因为我觉得昨晚城堡里有人想偷走魔法石。 我说我要离开城堡，但我躲在这里。 我得看看小偷是否还会回来。 他做到了——你做到了。”

Bo looked down at his shoes. "I am sorry," he said softly. "Bo, tell me why you would do such a thing," Griffith said. "I..." Bo looked up. "I cannot say." "Please, Bo!" Drake blurted out. "I know you! You wouldn't steal anything. You have to explain." Griffith looked into Bo's eyes. "We can help you, Bo," he said. "But you must tell us why you tried to steal the stone." Bo sighed. "It began when King Roland's soldiers came to my kingdom. They went to see Emperor Song." "What did they want?" Drake asked.

波低头看了看自己的鞋子。 “对不起，”他轻声说。 “菠，告诉我你为什么要这么做，”格里菲斯说。 “我……”波抬起头来。“我不能说。” “请,Bo !”德雷克脱口而出。 “我认识你！”你不会偷东西的。 你必须解释。”格里菲思凝视着波的眼睛。 “我们可以帮助你，波，”他说。 “但是你必须告诉我们你为什么要偷那块石头。” 博叹了口气。“从罗兰国王的士兵来到我的王国开始。 他们去见宋帝了。” “他们想要什么？”德雷克问道。

"They wanted me," Bo replied. "The soldiers told the emperor that King Roland wanted me for an important project. At first, Emperor Song did not agree to send me off. He was worried that I would not be safe. But my parents said it would be an honor to our kingdom. So he agreed."

“他们想要我，”波回答。 “士兵们告诉皇帝，罗兰国王要我做一个重要的项目。 起初，宋帝不同意送我走。 他担心我不会安全。 但我父母说这会是我们王国的荣耀。 所以他同意了。”

Drake nodded. "Emperor Song sounds very kind." "He is— or at least, he used to be," Bo said. "Last night, I found a black feather on my pillow. There was a note with it that I did not show Drake." He took a piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to Griffith. "It says—" His voice choked. "It says that Emperor Song has put my family in prison. To save them, I must steal the Dragon Stone and bring it to him right away. And I must not tell anyone." fclnef. His eyes filled with tears.

德雷克点点头。“宋帝听起来很和蔼。” “他是——或者至少，他过去是，”波说。 “昨晚，我在枕头上发现了一根黑羽毛。 里面有张纸条，我没有给德雷克看。” 他从口袋里掏出一张纸，递给格里菲思。 “上面说——”他的声音哽咽了。 “上面说宋帝把我全家关进了监狱。 为了救他们，我必须偷走龙石，马上带给他。 我不能告诉任何人。” 他的眼里充满了泪水。

Griffith put a hand on his shoulder. "I understand." "But you said he was a kind emperor, Bo," Drake said. "Why would he do this?" "I do not know," Bo replied. "I fear that some evil has come over him." "I fear you are right," said the wizard. "And we must help your emperor. But first, we have a problem closer to home. The black feather is a symbol of the Raven Guard." Bo nodded. "Yes. You have heard of them?" "I have heard stories," Griffith said. "The Raven Guard is a group of skilled fighters who serve the emperor. They are very dangerous." Drake turned pale. "So if the feather is in the castle..." "Then one of the Raven Guards is here, too!" said Bo.

格里菲斯把手放在他的肩膀上。 “我明白了。”“但是你说他是一个仁慈的皇帝，菠，”德雷克说。 “他为什么要这么做？”“我不知道，”波回答。 “我担心他身上有什么邪恶的东西。” “恐怕你是对的。”巫师说。 “我们必须帮助你们的皇帝。 但首先，我们有个更重要的问题。 黑羽毛是乌鸦守卫的象征。” 波点了点头。“是的。你听说过吗？”“我听说过一些故事，”格里菲斯说。 “渡鸦卫队是一群为皇帝服务的熟练战士。 他们非常危险。”德雷克脸色苍白。 “那么，如果羽毛在城堡里……” “那么这里也有一个渡鸦守卫了！”波说。
