12 A Puzzle

CHAPTER 12 A PUZZLE Drake and Worm stood alone in the darkness. "It's so dark in here," Drake whispered. Worm's body began to glow with green light again. Drake could see six large stone balls in the center of the room, placed in a circle. They looked perfectly round and smooth. Beyond them, on the wall, was a stone door. Above it, carved into the stone, was a line of six holes.

德雷克和虫子独自站在黑暗中。 “这里太黑了，”德雷克低声说。 虫子的身体又开始发出绿光。 德雷克可以看到房间中央有六个大石球，它们围成一个圈。 它们看起来又圆又光滑。 在他们后面的墙上，有一扇石门。 在它上面，石头上刻着一行六个洞。

"Do you think these stone balls go into those holes above the door, Worm?" Drake asked. Drake heard Worm's voice in his head. Yes. Drake walked over to one of the stones. He put his arms around it. It was so heavy! These are too heavy for me to move, thought Drake. But Worm could move them with his mind.

“虫子，你认为这些石球能钻进门上面的洞里吗？”德雷克问道。 德雷克在脑海里听到了虫子的声音。 是。德雷克走到其中一块石头前。 他用双臂环抱着它。 它太重了！这些东西太重了，我搬不动，德雷克想。 但是蠕虫可以用意念移动它们。

Drake looked at the stones. Each one had a symbol on it, just like the symbols on the front door. There was a moon, a sun, a water drop, a flame, a rock, and a skull. Next, Drake looked at the holes above the door. He didn't see any symbols on them. "How will I know which stone goes where? There must be a special way they need to go in..." Drake said.

德雷克看着那些石头。 每个门上都有一个符号，就像前门上的符号一样。 有月亮、太阳、水滴、火焰、岩石和骷髅。 接着，德雷克看了看门上方的洞。 他没看到上面有任何符号。 “我怎么知道哪块石头放哪？” 他们必须有一条特殊的路进去……” 德雷克说。

Then he remembered the words from the rhyme that Heru had just read. "'A Water Dragon was dragon one,'" Drake repeated. "That's it! I bet the stones go into the wall in the same order as we crossed through this pyramid. So the stone with the water drop on it goes first. Ready, Worm?" Worm nodded. The stone with the water drop glowed green. It floated up and... ...it fit perfectly in the first hole above the door.

这时，他想起了荷如刚才念的那首押韵诗。 “‘水龙就是一号龙，’”德雷克重复道。 “就是它!我敢打赌石头进墙的顺序和我们穿过金字塔的顺序是一样的。 所以上面有水滴的石头先走。 准备好了,虫子?”蠕虫点点头。 有水滴的石头发出绿光。 它浮了起来，... ...它正好插在门上面的第一个洞里。

"'Dragon two was of the sun,'" Drake said, remembering the rhyme. The stone with the sun symbol glowed. It floated up and slid into the second hole. "Great job, Worm!" Drake said. "Zera was the third dragon, so the poison symbol is next." Worm lifted the stone with the skull symbol. Then the stone with the flame. Then the stone with the moon. "One more, Worm!" Drake cheered.

“‘龙二是太阳，’”德雷克说，想起了那首押韵诗。 刻有太阳标志的石头发光了。 它浮了起来，滑进了第二个洞。 “干得好，虫子！”德雷克说。 “泽拉是第三条龙，所以下一条是毒符” 虫子举起了有骷髅标志的石头。 然后是有火焰的石头。 然后是月亮的石头。 “再来一次，虫子！”德雷克欢呼。

Worm's body glowed, and the stone with the rock symbol on it slowly rose up. It floated into the final hole above the door. Creeaaaak! The door lifted up. "We did it!" cheered Drake. Worm crawled through the doorway with Drake. They entered the seventh room. Suddenly, Worm sank to the ground! His glow faded. "Worm!" Drake cried. "What's wrong?"

虫子的身体发光了，上面有岩石符号的石头慢慢地升起来。 它飘进了门上方的最后一个洞里。 Creeaaaak !门开了。 “我们成功了！”德雷克欢呼道。 虫子和德雷克一起爬进了门口。 他们进入了第七个房间。 突然，小虫倒在了地上！他的光芒消失了。 “虫子!”德雷克哭了。“怎么了?”
