Chapter 2

Chapter TWO Together we left Carlotta's room and tiptoed along the landing to Edith's. I felt prickles of excitement run up and down my spine as we stood in front of the KEEP OUT sign. It felt like Carlotta and I were on a secret mission. I knew it was a bit naughty to sneak into Edith's room without asking, but she had been so mean

我们一起离开卡洛塔的房间，蹑手蹑脚地沿着楼梯口来到伊迪丝的房间。 当我们站在“请勿入内”的告示牌前时，我感到一阵兴奋在脊背上窜来窜去。 感觉卡洛塔和我在执行一项秘密任务。 我知道没问过就溜进伊迪丝的房间有点淘气，但她太刻薄了

to us! And at least we weren't breaking any of Mr and Mrs Cobweb's rules. We weren't using magic. Carlotta pushed the door open with a creak and we slipped inside.

给我们!至少我们没有违反蛛网夫妇的规矩。 我们没有使用魔法。卡洛塔吱嘎一声推开门，我们溜了进去。

Edith's room was enchanting! It felt so much more grown-up than my room at home or Carlotta's. There was a big squishy chair in the corner covered in glittering green and purple stars, hundreds of crystal make-up and perfume bottles lined up on the dressing table, the bed was a double with swishy black velvet curtains, and on top of a bookcase stood the Witch-Twitch-Supreme potion kit!

伊迪丝的房间迷人极了！感觉比我家里或卡洛塔的房间成熟多了。 角落里有一把软软的大椅子，上面挂着闪闪发光的绿色和紫色星星，梳妆台上排列着成百上千个水晶化妆品和香水瓶，床是一张双人床，床上挂着嗖嗖作响的黑色天鹅绒窗帘，书架顶上放着一套超级妖魔药！

'Oh!' I gasped, running over to it. 'Remember, we said no touching the potion hit,' said Carlotta, suddenly worried. 'It was very expensive.' 'I won't touch it,' I promised and clasped my hands behind my back. 'But look, Carlotta! It comes with a crystal ball!' 'I know...' sighed Carlotta enviously as we gazed at it together. My fingers were itching and tingling.

“哦!”我喘着气跑过去。 “记住，我们说过不许碰击中的魔药。”卡洛塔说，突然担心起来。 “太贵了。“我不碰它，”我答应着，双手放在背后。 “可是你看，卡洛塔！”它有一个水晶球！“我知道……”卡洛塔羡慕地叹了口气，我们一起凝视着它。 我的手指又痒又刺痛。

'It's so pretty,' I breathed. The rose quartz cauldron glimmered and the amethyst stirring spoon sparkled in the light. I wished and wished and wished that I was allowed to touch it!

“真漂亮，”我喘着气说。 玫瑰石英坩埚闪闪发光，紫水晶搅拌勺在灯光下闪闪发光。 我希望，希望，希望我被允许触摸它！
