Chapter 3

Chapter THREE 'Argh!' I huffed. 'Wilbur is so annoying!' I slammed his drink down on the counter a little harder than necessary and lemonade sploshed out. 'Whoops!' I really did need to tidy this mess up before Mum saw it. But first, Wilbur's drink! He'd

第三章“啊！”我被激怒了。 “威伯太烦人了！”我把他的饮料重重地摔在柜台上，柠檬水溅了出来。 “哎呀!”我真的需要在妈妈看到之前把这里收拾干净。 不过，先给威伯喝一杯！他会

made me so cross that I decided to make something that would surprise him. My toes tingled with mischief. I opened the fridge and took out a bowl of slippy, slimy, wibbly, wobbly frogspawn. Mum likes to mix it into her porridge in the morning sometimes, but Wilbur and I hate it. I poured cloudy pink lemonade into a new glass and then spooned in some frogspawn which sank to the bottom.

这让我很生气，所以我决定做一些能让他惊喜的东西。 我的脚趾因恶作剧而感到刺痛。 我打开冰箱，拿出一碗又滑又黏的、摇摇晃晃的蛙卵。 妈妈有时喜欢在早上把它拌进粥里，但威尔伯和我讨厌它。 我把浑浊的粉红色柠檬水倒进一个新杯子里，然后舀进一些蛙卵，蛙卵沉到了杯子的底部。

Wilbur would never know! Well, not until he got to the end of his drink... I carried the glass back outside and gave it to Wilbur. 'Looks like sisters can be useful after all!' He grinned at Oswald. 'You're welcome, Wilbur,' I said sweetly. Then I moved away from them both, trying to look innocent. I should probably go and tidy the kitchen now... 'Do you want a veggie burger, Mirabelle?' asked Dad. 'They're ready!' 'Ooh, yes please!'

威伯永远不会知道的！嗯，直到他喝完酒…… 我把杯子拿出来，给了威伯。 “看来姐妹们还是有用的！”他朝奥斯瓦尔德咧嘴一笑。 “不用谢，威伯，”我温柔地说。 然后我离开了他们俩，努力装出一副无辜的样子。 我现在应该去整理厨房了…… “你想吃素汉堡吗，米拉贝尔？”爸爸问。 “他们都准备好了!“哦，是的，谢谢！”

I hurried over to Dad, who was busy taking all the vegetarian fairy food off the barbecue and piling it onto a plate. There were delicious-looking veggie burgers, strips of squeaky cheese, grilled peppers, and corn on the cobs. 'Yum!' I said as Dad piled my plate high. Dad made another plate up for Wilbur and then one for himself. While we ate, Mum began to cook the witch food. 'Time for the proper stuff!' she said, chucking the beetle burgers and bug skewers onto the barbecue and cackling in a very dramatic way. 'Oh yeah!' cried Oswald.

我急忙走到爸爸身边，他正忙着把烧烤架上所有的素食神仙食物都拿下来，堆在盘子里。 有看起来很美味的蔬菜汉堡、吱吱作响的奶酪条、烤辣椒和玉米棒子。 “好吃!”当爸爸把我的盘子堆得高高的时候，我说。 爸爸又给威尔伯做了一盘，又给自己做了一盘。 当我们吃的时候，妈妈开始做女巫的食物。 “该做正经事了！”她一边说，一边把甲虫汉堡和虫子串扔到烤肉架上，咯咯地笑得很夸张。 “噢,是的!奥斯瓦尔德喊道。

'I can't wait!' said Frederick, rubbing his tummy. 'It all looks amazing!' Felice didn't say anything, but I did see her licking her lips. While we were eating, I kept

“我等不及了！”弗雷德里克揉着肚子说。 “看起来太棒了！”费利斯什么也没说，但我确实看到她在舔嘴唇。 我们吃饭的时候，我一直在

glancing at Wilbur—he was almost halfway through his drink! 'Scrumptious food, Seraphina!' boomed Frederick as he chomped down on his burger.

他瞥了威尔伯一眼——他已经喝了一半了！“真好吃，塞拉菲娜！”弗雷德里克一边大嚼汉堡，一边大声说。
