7 The Rattling Shells

CHAPTER 7 THE RATTLING SHELLS How will Bo and Ana ever catch that dragon?" Drake asked. Diego nodded. "I am afraid that only his Dragon Master will be able to calm him. I hope Bob finds Carlos soon." "Isn't there anything else we can do?" Drake asked. Diego shook his head. "We must wait. Bob has never failed me."

第七章嘎嘎作响的贝壳波和安娜怎么才能抓住那条龙呢？”德雷克问道。 迭戈点点头。“恐怕只有他的龙师父才能让他平静下来。 我希望鲍勃能尽快找到卡洛斯。” “难道我们就没有别的办法了吗?”德雷克问道。 迭戈摇了摇头。“我们必须等待。 鲍勃从来没有让我失望过。”

Drake frowned. It felt wrong to be sitting around, when Bo and Ana were flying after a dragon that shot sparks. "Come," Diego said. "Let's eat and then get Worm's room ready for tonight." Diego led Drake through the twisting cottage. Drake saw that strings of seashells hung on every wall. They passed a room full of plants. Another room held jars and bottles filled with colorful liquids. Another room was full of books.

德雷克皱起了眉头。当波和安娜在追一条喷出火花的巨龙时，我觉得坐在那里是不对的。 “来吧，”迭戈说。“我们先吃饭，然后把虫子的房间收拾好，准备今晚的活动。” 迭戈领着德雷克穿过扭曲的小屋。 德雷克看到每面墙上都挂着一串串的贝壳。 他们经过一个摆满植物的房间。 另一个房间里放着装满彩色液体的罐子和瓶子。 另一个房间里堆满了书。

They finally came to the last room, which looked almost like a stable. There was hay on the floor. Two big doors opened up to the outside. This room had strings of seashells on the walls, too. "I built this room in case any of Griffith's dragons came to visit me," Diego explained. "Worm is my first guest!" Diego and Drake swept out the stable. When they finished, they opened the doors. Worm slid inside and curled up in the hay, smiling.

他们终于来到了最后一个房间，它看起来几乎像一个马厩。 地板上有干草。 两扇大门向外敞开。 这个房间的墙上也挂着一串串的贝壳。 “我建了这个房间，以防格里菲斯的龙来看我。”迭戈解释说。 “虫子是我的第一位客人！”迭戈和德雷克扫荡了马厩。 当他们完成后，他们打开了门。 虫子溜进屋里，蜷在干草里，微笑着。

Drake turned to Diego. "What were those other rooms we passed through?" "Ah, I shall give you a tour!" he said. "Follow me." Diego led Drake back through the cottage. In the first room, the wizard showed Drake books about baby dragons. In the second room, Diego mixed a red potion and a blue potion together in a glass. There was a puff of smoke— and a purple stone shaped like an onion appeared.

德雷克转向迭戈。“我们经过的其他房间是什么？”“啊，我要带你参观一下！”他说。 “跟我来。”迭戈领着德雷克穿过小屋往回走。 在第一个房间里，巫师给德雷克看了一些关于小龙的书。 在第二个房间里，迭戈在一个杯子里混合了一种红色药水和一种蓝色药水。 一股烟冒了出来，一块洋葱状的紫色石头出现了。

"A reminder of home," Diego said, giving it to Drake. "Thanks!" said Drake. In the third room, Diego handed Drake a dried green plant. "This one is good for keeping away bad energy," he said. "It's also very tasty in stew. Which reminds me, we should get dinner started."

“一个家的纪念品。”迭戈说着，把它递给了德雷克。 “谢谢！”德雷克说。在第三个房间里，迭戈递给德雷克一株干绿色植物。 他说：“这棵树能很好地抵挡坏能量。” “炖肉也很好吃。 这倒提醒了我，我们该开始吃饭了。”

They went to the kitchen, where Diego gave Drake some carrots to chop. As Drake picked up a carrot, he heard a rattling noise. He looked up. The strings were shaking and the shells were clinking! Diego quickly took his wand out of his pocket. "Why are the shells moving?" Drake asked. Diego didn't answer. He waved the wand and muttered some strange words. A blue light streamed from the wand and snaked through the cottage.

他们去了厨房，迭戈给德雷克一些胡萝卜让他切。 当德雷克捡起一根胡萝卜时，他听到一阵嘎嘎的声音。 他抬起头来。琴弦在晃动，贝壳在叮当作响！迭戈迅速从口袋里掏出魔杖。 “为什么贝壳在动？”德雷克问道。 迭戈没有回答。他挥舞着魔杖，咕哝了几句奇怪的话。 一道蓝光从魔杖里射出，蜿蜒穿过小屋。
