1 Rosie rolled out her sleeping bag. The best night of the week had arrived—Friday night was Sleepover Club for Rosie and her best friends, Phoebe and Stella. Rosie woke up every Friday with a quivery feeling bubbling away in her stomach. And the happy bubbles just grew and grew throughout the day. On Sleepover Club nights, anything felt possible.

1罗茜展开她的睡袋。 一周中最美好的夜晚到来了——周五晚上是罗西和她最好的朋友菲比和斯特拉的过夜俱乐部。 罗茜每周五醒来时，胃里都有一种颤抖的感觉。 快乐的泡泡在一天中越长越大。 在“过夜俱乐部”的夜晚，一切皆有可能。

Today that feeling had been even stronger than usual. Rosie wasn't sure why. She just felt certain that something special was going to happen tonight. It was like the time her friends had thrown a surprise midnight feast for her birthday. But it wasn't anyone's birthday now. So why was she feeling so excited? Rosie often found it hard to concentrate at school, but today had been extra hard. She kept thinking about how fun it was going to be tonight. The girls usually baked cookies, and often Rosie would make up a silly bedtime story. Tonight's sleepover was at Phoebe's house. They stayed at Phoebe's house more often than at Rosie's or Stella's. Phoebe sometimes got homesick, even at friends' houses. So she preferred to be the host. That was fine with Rosie. She loved sleeping at Phoebe's! Phoebe's family room had a big window with a seat, facing west. The three friends often sat in the

今天这种感觉比平时更强烈。 罗茜不知道为什么。她只是觉得今晚一定会有特别的事情发生。 这就像她的朋友们为她的生日准备了一场惊喜的午夜盛宴。 但现在不是任何人的生日了。 那她为什么这么兴奋呢? 罗茜在学校常常觉得很难集中注意力，但今天更是难上加难。 她一直在想今晚会有多好玩。 女孩们通常烤饼干，罗茜经常编一个愚蠢的睡前故事。 今晚在菲比家过夜。 他们住在菲比家的时间比住在罗西家或斯特拉家的时间要多。 菲比有时会想家，即使是在朋友家。 所以她更愿意做主人。 这对罗西来说很好。她喜欢睡在菲比家!菲比的客厅有一扇朝西的大窗户和一个座位。 这三个朋友经常坐在房间里

window seat, loaded up with bowls of snacks, and watched the sun set. They called it "twilight TV." Rosie loved watching the sky turn pink, purple, and orange before fading into the rich blues of evening. Her favorite sunsets were when puffy clouds sat low on the horizon. She often daydreamed about chasing beams of sunlight, or bouncing from cloud to cloud. "Rosie!" called Phoebe from the family room. "It's almost twilight TV time! Are you coming?" "Oops, I got distracted!" Rosie called back. "I'll be there in a minute!"

坐在靠窗的座位上，装满了一碗又一碗的零食，看着日落。 他们称之为“暮光之城电视”。 罗西喜欢看天空变成粉红色、紫色和橙色，然后逐渐变成傍晚的丰富的蓝色。 她最喜欢的日落是白云低垂在地平线上的时候。 她经常做白日梦，梦见自己在追逐阳光，或者从一朵云跳到另一朵云。 “罗茜!”菲比从客厅里喊道。 “快到暮光电视时间了!”你要来吗?”“哎呀，我走神了!”罗茜回了电话。 “我马上就到!”

This happened a lot. Rosie would be doing one thing, but then her mind would wander off and she would forget all about what she was supposed to be doing. She hadn't planned to set up her sleeping bag right now. She had been heading to the bathroom to wash her hands! Rosie glanced outside. There was just the faintest trace of pink in the sky. She jumped up. Twilight was always gone so quickly. She would have to hurry! The bathroom was near Phoebe's bedroom. Rosie liked the bathroom at Phoebe's. It had a soft white mat on the floor and it was filled with plants, including a fern in a macramé pot hanger Phoebe had made herself. Rosie turned on the taps and picked up the fancy bar of soap resting on the side of the sink. At her house they only had boring, unscented liquid soap. She much preferred the fancy, sweet smelling soap at Phoebe's. It smelled like roses and floated on the water like bubbly clouds.

这种情况经常发生。罗茜会做一件事，但她会走神，她会忘记她应该做什么。 她没打算现在就把睡袋搭好。 她正要去洗手间洗手!罗茜朝外面看了一眼。 天空中只有一丝淡淡的粉红色。 她跳了起来。暮色总是转瞬即逝。 她得快点了!浴室在菲比的卧室附近。 罗茜喜欢菲比家的浴室。 地板上铺着柔软的白色垫子，里面种满了植物，其中有一株蕨类植物插在菲比亲手做的编织编织的锅架上。 罗茜打开水龙头，拿起放在水池边的那块别致的肥皂。 在她家里，他们只有枯燥无味的液体肥皂。 她更喜欢菲比家那种花里胡气的香皂。 它闻起来有玫瑰的味道，漂浮在水面上，像朵朵白云。

Rosie looked at the soapy clouds dreamily. Imagine if clouds really did smell like roses! She trailed her finger through the water. And imagine if you could fly around them, like a bird! As she was daydreaming, Rosie heard a strange sound. It was some sort of song. She had never heard anything so beautiful. Magic Forest, Magic Forest, come explore… The voice was very soft and sweet. "Phoebe? Stella? Is that you?" she called. No one replied. Maybe it was Phoebe's mom? But Rosie knew it wasn't her, either. The voice was somehow familiar and completely new at the same time. Magic Forest, Magic Forest, come explore… The singing was getting louder. It seemed to be coming from the bubbles in the sink. But that was impossible, right? Rosie looked carefully at the water and noticed something very strange. The

罗茜如梦如幻地望着布满肥皂的云朵。 想象一下，如果云真的闻起来像玫瑰!她用手指在水中摸索。 想象一下，如果你能像鸟一样绕着它们飞!当她在做白日梦时，罗茜听到了一个奇怪的声音。 是某种歌曲。她从来没有听过这么美丽的东西。 魔法森林，魔法森林，来探索吧……声音很温柔，很甜美。 “菲比?斯特拉?是你吗?”她叫道。 没有人回答。也许是菲比的妈妈? 但罗茜也知道那不是她。 不知怎的，那声音既熟悉，同时又完全陌生。 魔法森林，魔法森林，来探索吧……歌声越来越响了。 它似乎是从水槽里的气泡里发出来的。 但那是不可能的，对吧? 罗茜仔细看了看水，发现了一些非常奇怪的东西。 的
