3 A Clue

CHAPTER 3 A CLUE We are the keepers of the ancient secrets of the dragons," Tarek announced as the Dragon Masters walked through the temple. "These secrets have been passed down in our family for years." Torches lit the halls of the temple. Pictures of dragons were carved into the walls.

第三章一条线索我们是龙的古老秘密的守护者。”当龙的主人们走过寺庙时，塔里克宣布。 “这些秘密在我们家传了很多年了。” 火把照亮了寺庙的大厅。 墙上雕刻着龙的图案。

They went downstairs and came to a room full of dragon statues. Sarah walked to a statue with sparkly green eyes. "Those look like Dragon Stones!" Bo said. Sarah smiled and removed one of the stones. The wall in front of her slid open. She waved for everyone to follow her. The secret chamber was filled with shelves loaded with scrolls and books.

他们下了楼，来到一个满是龙雕像的房间。 莎拉走到一尊绿眼睛闪闪发光的雕像前。 “那些看起来像龙石！”博说。 莎拉微笑着移开其中一块石头。 她面前的墙滑开了。 她挥手示意大家跟她走。 密室里摆满了摆满卷轴和书籍的书架。

Sarah took one of the scrolls. She moved to a large table. "This is all we know about the prime stone," she said, unrolling the scroll. Drake looked at it. On top of the page was a strange-looking dragon symbol. The rest of the page was filled with little pictures, not alphabet letters. "This is very old writing," Ana explained. "In ancient times, people wrote messages with pictures instead of words."

莎拉拿起其中的一卷。 她走到一张大桌子旁。 “这就是我们对原石的全部了解，”她一边说，一边展开卷轴。 德雷克看着它。在这页纸的上方有一个奇怪的龙的符号。 这一页的其余部分都是小图片，而不是字母。 “这是非常古老的文字，”安娜解释说。 “在古代，人们用图片而不是文字来写信息。”

"Yes," agreed Tarek. "I have read these pictures many times. The scroll says that the prime Dragon Stone is in the Pyramid of the Seven Dragons. But we do not know which pyramid that is — or how to find the Dragon Stone within the pyramid." "There is also a rhyme," said Sarah. She picked up the scroll and read out loud. A flying dragon will find the pyramid. Six dragons are needed to find the prime stone. Six dragons must go with their Dragon Masters. No dragon or master can do it alone.

“是的，”塔里克同意道。“这些图片我已经读过很多遍了。 卷轴上说最原始的龙石在七龙金字塔里。 但我们不知道那是哪个金字塔——也不知道如何在金字塔里找到龙石。” “还有一个押韵，”萨拉说。 她拿起书卷，大声朗读。 飞龙会找到金字塔的。 要找到原石需要六条龙。 六条龙必须和它们的龙主一起走。 没有龙或大师能独自完成。

"The message is clear," said Tarek. "It will take six dragons to find the stone. That is why we need your help." "One flying dragon to find the pyramid," Drake repeated. "Does that mean the pyramid can only be seen from the sky?" Sarah nodded. "Heru has searched with Wati many times, but has not found the secret pyramid yet," she said. "I will search again tonight," said Heru. "Wati can hold one more rider." Drake's and Rori's hands shot up. "I'll go!" they both said.

“信息很明确，”塔里克说。 “需要六条龙才能找到石头。 这就是为什么我们需要你的帮助。” “一只飞龙找到金字塔，”德雷克重复道。 “这是不是说金字塔只能从天上看到？”莎拉点点头。 “赫鲁和瓦蒂一起搜索了很多次，但还没有找到秘密金字塔，”她说。 “我今晚再找。”Heru说。 “我还能再坐一个骑手。” 德雷克和罗里的手一下子举了起来。 “我去！”他们俩都说。

Heru grinned. "Drake beat you by one second, Rori." "Yay!" cheered Drake. Rori frowned. "Why can't we all fly with our dragons and look for the pyramid?" she asked. "A dark dragon like Wati can fly at night without being seen," Tarek explained. Heru turned to Drake. "Let's go find the Pyramid of the Seven Dragons!" he said. "Good luck!" Ana called out.

Heru咧嘴一笑。“德雷克比你快一秒，罗里” “耶！”德雷克欢呼道。Rori皱起了眉头。 “为什么我们不能和我们的龙一起飞，去寻找金字塔呢？”她问道。 “像瓦蒂这样的黑龙可以在夜间飞行而不被发现，”塔里克解释说。 赫鲁转向德雷克。“我们去找七龙金字塔吧！”他说。 “祝你好运!”安娜喊道。
