Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR I started to feel a lot better as I flew along, letting the breeze wash away all the horrible and annoying things that had happened that day. I was the sparkling witch Mirabelle! A shooting star whizzing across the sky! And I was going to make sure that nothing else bad happened from now on! I felt almost back to my usual self

我一边飞，一边感觉好多了，让微风把那天发生的所有可怕和烦人的事情都吹走了。 我是闪闪发光的女巫米拉贝尔！一颗流星划过天空！我要确保从现在开始不会再发生什么坏事！我觉得自己几乎恢复了常态

again by the time I spotted Wilbur in the sky, waiting for me by the edge of the forest. 'Hello, Wilbur!' I said cheerily. 'Did you have a nice day at wizard school?' Wilbur didn't reply. Instead, he creased up with laughter. 'What are you wearing?' he asked. 'That dress makes you look like a slug!' 'WILBUR!' I shouted, my bad mood immediately tumbling back with full force. 'I DON'T look like a slug!' I lurched towards him in the air and almost fell off my broomstick. 'Woah!' said Wilbur looking worried for a moment. 'OK, you don't look like a

当我再次看到威尔伯在天空中，在森林的边缘等着我的时候。 “你好,威尔伯!”我高兴地说。 “你在魔法学校过得愉快吗？”威伯没有回答。 相反，他笑得满脸皱纹。 “你穿的是什么？”他问。 “那件衣服让你看起来像个懒虫！”“威尔伯!”我大声喊道，我的坏心情立刻猛烈地滚了回来。 “我看起来不像鼻涕虫！”我在空中蹒跚地向他扑去，差点从扫帚上摔下来。 “哇!威尔伯说，看上去担心了一会儿。 “好吧，你看起来不像个……

slug. Let's go home.' I followed my brother through the air, seething. It had been a (mostly) horrid day and now Wilbur was laughing at my outfit! It was a horrible outfit, but still. Why did brothers have to be so annoying?

蛞蝓。我们回家吧。”我跟着哥哥在空中飞，心里一阵沸腾。 这是（几乎）可怕的一天，现在威伯在嘲笑我的衣服！这身衣服很可怕，但还是。 兄弟们为什么要这么烦人？

When I got home, I stomped inside without even saying hello to Mum and Dad properly. I wanted to get up to my bedroom where no one could annoy me. Why are you wearing that dress Mirabelle?' called Mum as I pushed past her in the porch. 'Did you have an accident at school?'

当我回到家时，我甚至没有和爸爸妈妈打个招呼就大步走了进去。 我想回到我的卧室，那里没有人会打扰我。 米拉贝尔，你为什么穿那件衣服？当我在门廊上从妈妈身边挤过去时，她喊道。 “你在学校出事故了吗？”

I didn't answer but ran upstairs to my room and leapt under the covers of my bed... too late! I had forgotten that there was a pool of sticky purple goo still on my pillow and now it was all stuck in my hair, AGAIN!' 'ARGH!!!' I yelled, leaping back up again. Today was THE worst day in the history of the world! I would have to wash my hair again and I really couldn't be bothered. I walked across to my window, picking my way over all the clothes and spell ingredients that were strewn across the floor and stared out, putting my chin in my hands. I didn't want to go back downstairs and see my family right now,

我没有回答，而是跑到楼上我的房间，跳到被子下面…… 太迟了!我忘了我的枕头上还有一滩紫色的黏糊糊的东西，现在它又粘在我的头发上了！“啊! !”我喊道，又跳了起来。 今天是世界历史上最糟糕的一天！我又得洗头了，而且我真的不想被打扰。 我走到窗前，在地板上散落着的衣服和配料中摸索着走过去，双手托着下巴凝视着窗外。 我现在不想下楼去见我的家人，

but my tummy was rumbling. And where was Violet? I thought she had followed me up to my bedroom but now that I looked around I couldn't see her anywhere. Hurriedly, I put my hat on my head to hide the goo and made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I would try once more to turn this day around. A chocolate biscuit would

但我的肚子在咕咕叫。 维奥莱特在哪里？我以为她跟着我进了我的卧室，但现在我环顾四周，却找不到她。 我赶紧把帽子戴在头上，遮住粘稠的东西，然后下楼去了厨房。 我会再试一次来扭转这一天。 巧克力饼干
