1 Lily

The Incredible Present

不可思议的礼物

Chapter 1 Lily Lily Mack lived in a tall, old house with her parents and her granny. But most of the time it was just Lily and Granny.

莉莉·麦克和她的父母和奶奶住在一所又高又旧的房子里。 但大多数时候只有莉莉和奶奶。

Lily's parents weren't like other parents. They always had some crazy project underway. Their latest plan was to follow in the footsteps of the explorer, Monty Thripps. One hundred years ago, he had set off for the South Pacific in his balloon.

莉莉的父母和其他父母不一样。 他们总是在进行一些疯狂的项目。 他们的最新计划是追随探险家蒙蒂·斯里普斯的脚步。 一百年前，他乘坐热气球前往南太平洋。

Mr. and Mrs. Mack had read about him in an old book. Then they had bought a balloon, packed their things and set off. We'll be back for your birthday!

麦克夫妇在一本旧书里读到过他。 然后他们买了一个气球，收拾好东西，出发了。 我们会回来庆祝你的生日！

It was Lily's birthday tomorrow and there was no sign of Mr. and Mrs. Mack. Lily missed them a lot. Granny was kind and funny- if a little forgetful. She and Lily did everything together. But it wasn't the same.

明天是莉莉的生日，麦克夫妇却不见踪影。 莉莉非常想念他们。奶奶善良又风趣——只是有点健忘。 她和莉莉做什么事都在一起。 但这是不一样的。

Lily decided to stop thinking about her parents and think about her birthday presents instead. Her friend Freddy had a toy garage for his birthday. Lily enjoyed playing with it... but she didn't want a garage.

莉莉决定不再想着她的父母，而是想着她的生日礼物。 她的朋友弗雷迪过生日时得到了一个玩具车库。 莉莉很喜欢玩它…… 但她不想要一个车库。
