第四章:军营的考验 Chapter Four: Trials in the Camp
木兰在风雨中赶到军营,入口处两名士兵正拿着长枪守卫。 Mulan arrived at the army camp soaked in rain, where two soldiers guarded the entrance. 她压低声音,假装粗哑地说:“我是……花平。” She lowered her voice and said roughly, “I’m… Ping.” 士兵狐疑地看她一眼,但还是放她进去了。 The soldiers looked at her suspiciously but let her in. 军营里到处是吵闹、打闹、摔跤的男人们。 Inside the camp, men were arguing, wrestling, and shouting everywhere. 木兰一时不知该怎么表现得像“男人”。 Mulan didn’t know how to act like a “man.” 她试着模仿他们走路、说话,却越模仿越奇怪。 She tried copying how they walked and talked, but it only made her look stranger. 正在这时,英俊的指挥官李翔走了出来。 Just then, the handsome commander Li Shang came out. 他的声音坚定而有力量:“从今天起,接受真正的训练!” His voice was firm and powerful: “From now on, you will train hard!” 木兰被他的威严吓了一跳。 Mulan was startled by his commanding presence. 训练开始了,但木兰几乎什么都做不好。 Training began, but Mulan struggled with everything. 她爬不上木桩,拉不动绳索,还被队友绊倒。 She couldn’t climb the poles, couldn’t pull the ropes, and kept tripping. 士兵们笑她、推她,觉得她是全营最差的新兵。 The soldiers laughed at her and pushed her around, calling her the worst recruit. 晚上,木兰累得瘫在地上,怀疑自己是否犯了错。 That night, Mulan lay exhausted on the ground, wondering if she made a mistake. 突然,一条小龙从牌位上跳下来——是木须。 Suddenly, a tiny dragon leapt out from her ancestor tablet—it was Mushu. 木须自豪地说:“我来帮你成为英雄!” Mushu puffed up proudly. “I’m here to help you become a hero!” 木兰吓坏了,小声说:“你是谁?” Mulan whispered in fear, “Who are you?” “你的守护神,小木龙木须!” “Your guardian dragon, Mushu! At your service!” 虽然木须很小,但信心大得不得了。 Mushu was small, but his confidence was enormous. 木兰看着他,忍不住笑了:“那就……拜托你了。” Mulan looked at him and couldn’t help smiling. “Then… help me.” 木须拍着胸脯:“没问题!明天你会成为全营最棒的兵!” Mushu thumped his chest. “No problem! Tomorrow, you’ll be the best soldier here!” |
