Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE I changed into my swimming costume and rummaged in my dressing-up box for my special enchanted fairy wings, and put them on. Then, I unscrewed the lid on the little bottle of shrinking potion on my charm necklace, and poured some of the powder into my hand. I sprinkled it over my head, saying a magic spell.

第五章我换上游泳衣，在化妆盒里翻找我那对特殊的魔法仙女翅膀，戴上了。 然后，我拧开项链上装收缩药水的小瓶子的盖子，往手里倒了一些粉末。 我把它洒在头上，念了一个咒语。

Pinch of powder, Sparkly! Shiny! Do your work and make me TINY!

一撮粉，闪闪！闪亮的!做你的工作吧，让我变小！

There was a puff of glittery purple smoke and suddenly I felt a tingle in my toes and a tug inside my tummy as I began to lurch downwards towards the carpet. All around me, the things in my bedroom got bigger and bigger until the legs of my bed looked like tree trunks and the piles of clothes dotted all over the floor became huge mountains! Violet was as big as an elephant and even the bottles on my potion necklace were as tall as me now! 'Oops!' I thought. I had meant to put the necklace on before using the powder so that it would shrink with me, and I could use it to reverse the spell at any time. But never mind! I had the fairy wings. I could

一阵闪闪发光的紫色烟雾冒了出来，突然间，我感到脚趾头一阵刺痛，肚子里一阵拉扯，我开始向地毯走去。 在我周围，我卧室里的东西变得越来越大，直到我的床腿看起来像树干，地板上散落着的成堆的衣服变成了巨大的山！维奥莱特和大象一样大，就连我项链上的瓶子现在也和我一样高了！“哎呀!”我想。 我本打算在使用粉末之前把项链戴上，这样它就会随着我一起收缩，我可以随时用它来逆转咒语。 不过没关系！我有仙女的翅膀。 我可以

easily just fly back to my bedroom when it was time to grow big again. Violet fluttered worriedly above me, still her normal size. 'Hey, Violet!' I called. 'Look! I'm small enough to ride on your back now!'

当我再次长大的时候，很容易就飞回我的卧室。 维奥莱特忧心忡忡地在我头顶上扇动着翅膀，她的身材依然正常。 “嘿,紫!”我叫。“看!我现在已经小到可以骑在你的背上了！”

Violet snorted out cross, purple flames. Then she flew over to my bed and curled up on top of the duvet, burying her head into my pillow. I was starting to get the impression that she didn't want to join in with my mischief at all!

维奥莉特喷了喷十字紫色的火焰。 然后她飞到我的床上，蜷缩在羽绒被上，把头埋在我的枕头里。 我开始觉得她根本不想加入我的恶作剧！
