Chapter 1

Chapter ONE It was the first day of a new term at witch school and I was up early, before anyone else in my family. 'Let's make breakfast for everyone,' I said to my pet dragon, Violet, as she fluttered in the air next to my ear. 'It will be a nice surprise!' Violet did a little snort and purple flames shot out of her snout. I

第一章这是女巫学校新学期的第一天，我起得很早，比家里任何人都早。 “我们给大家做早餐吧，”我对我的宠物龙Violet说，她在我耳边拍打着翅膀。 “这将是一个很好的惊喜！”维奥莱特轻轻地哼了一声，紫色的火焰从她的鼻子里喷了出来。 我

hurriedly batted them away with a tea towel. My mum gets funny about scorch marks around the house. I started to put bowls and plates on the table, and put some bread in the toaster for Mum. We all eat very different breakfasts in my family. My mum is a witch and eats all sorts of horrid things. Her favourite breakfast is spider sprinkled toast. My dad on the other hand, is a fairy. He likes eating flower nectar yoghurt and lots of green salads. Fairies love nature! The toast popped and I reached for Mum's jar of frizzled spiders. 'Yuck!' I said as I tipped a heap of

赶紧用茶巾把它们拍掉。 我妈妈对房子周围的烧焦痕迹很感兴趣。 我开始把碗和盘子放在桌子上，把一些面包放在烤面包机里给妈妈。 在我家，我们吃的早餐各不相同。 我妈妈是个女巫，吃各种可怕的东西。 她最喜欢的早餐是蜘蛛洒吐司。 另一方面，我爸爸是个仙女。 他喜欢吃花蜜酸奶和大量的绿色沙拉。 仙女们热爱大自然！面包啪的一声炸开了，我伸手去拿妈妈的一罐卷毛蜘蛛。 “啐!”我一边说一边倒了一堆

them onto her toast. Next I put some yoghurt and flower petals into a bowl for Dad and then started to make mine and Wilbur's breakfast. Wilbur is half fairy just like me except he doesn't like to admit it.

他们在她的吐司上。接下来，我把一些酸奶和花瓣放进碗里给爸爸，然后开始做我和威尔伯的早餐。 威尔伯和我一样是半个仙女，只是他不愿意承认。

He insists that he is a full wizard most of the time. I don't mind my fairy side so much, but I definitely feel more witch! That's why I decided to go to 'Miss Spindlewick's Witch School for Girls'. As I was buttering Wilbur's toast my eye was drawn back to Mum's spider jar sitting on the counter. A naughty idea floated into my head. 'Go away!' I told it. But the thought would not go away. My toes started tingling at the idea of mischief. I pulled Mum's spider jar towards me

他坚持说他大部分时间都是一个完整的巫师。 我不太介意我的仙女一面，但我确实觉得自己更像女巫！这就是为什么我决定去“斯平德威克小姐的女子女巫学校”。 当我在给威尔伯的烤面包涂黄油时，我的目光被放在柜台上妈妈的蜘蛛罐吸引了回来。 一个顽皮的念头在我的脑海中浮现。 “走开!”我说了。但是这个念头不会消失。 一想到恶作剧，我的脚趾就开始刺痛。 我把妈妈的蜘蛛罐拉向我

and used a fork to scoop out just one little crispy critter. I dropped it onto Wilbur's toast and then quickly slathered it over with jam. He would never know it was there until he felt it crunch in his mouth! I giggled at the thought of him discovering the spider. Both of us hate witch food. 'Breakfast time!' I called up the stairs. 'How thoughtful of you to make everyone breakfast Mirabelle,' said Dad as he tucked into his rose petal yoghurt. I smiled sweetly

然后用叉子挖出了一个脆脆的小生物。 我把它掉在威尔伯的烤面包上，然后迅速地涂上一层果酱。 他永远不会知道它在那里，直到他感觉到它在嘴里嘎吱作响！一想到他会发现蜘蛛，我就咯咯地笑。 我们俩都讨厌女巫的食物。 “早餐时间!”我朝楼上喊。 “你为每个人准备早餐真是想得太周到了，米拉贝尔，”爸爸一边说一边大口大口地喝着玫瑰花瓣酸奶。 我甜甜地笑了
