Chapter 3

Chapter THREE It wasn't long before Mum and Dad were deep in conversation with Beatrix's parents and we all decided to go to the restaurant together. Beatrix and I sat next to each other and exchanged stories about all the tricks we had played. 'I once turned my Dad into a frog by mistake!' I giggled.

没过多久，爸爸妈妈和比阿特丽克斯的父母深入交谈，我们都决定一起去餐馆。 比阿特丽克斯和我坐在一起，互相讲述我们玩过的所有把戏。 “我曾经不小心把我爸爸变成了一只青蛙！”我咯咯笑了。

'Oh really!?' said Beatrix, but she didn't look quite as impressed as I thought she would be. I once turned my teacher into a lizard!' I gasped. 'Your teacher?'

“真的! ?比阿特丽克斯说，但她看上去并不像我想象的那么感动。 我曾经把我的老师变成了一只蜥蜴！”我喘息着说道。 “你的老师吗?”

'Yes,' whispered Beatrix. 'I got into a lot of trouble. 'Oh,' I said. Then I remembered something. I once made my teacher's hair grow really, really long,' I said. 'She was furious!' 'I bet!' said Beatrix. 'That reminds me of the time that I made everyone in my classroom go bald. For five whole days! I stared at Beatrix, gobsmacked, and she nodded, looking pleased with herself. I had never met anyone as naughty as Beatrix before. We could have a lot of fun together. But we could also get into a lot of trouble together.

“是的。”比阿特丽克斯小声说。“我惹了很多麻烦。 “哦，”我说。然后我想起了一件事。 “我曾经让我老师的头发长得非常非常长，”我说。 “她气坏了！”“我敢打赌！”比阿特丽克斯说。 “这让我想起了有一次，我让班上的每个人都秃顶了。 整整五天！我盯着比阿特丽克丝，目瞪口呆，她点了点头，看起来很满意。 我以前从未见过比阿特丽克斯这么淘气的人。 我们可以在一起玩得很开心。 但我们也可能一起惹上很多麻烦。

And I had promised Mum and Dad that there would be absolutely no mischief this holiday. After dinner we waved goodbye to Beatrix's family and went back to our treehouse. We had all decided to go dragon trekking the next day. 'I can't wait!' said Wilbur as he snuggled down into bed. 'I've always wanted to go dragon trekking. 'Me too!' I said, getting into my own bed and pulling Violet close to my chest for a hug. I wondered if I ought to suggest a midnight feast to Wilbur but

我答应过爸爸妈妈，这个节日绝对不搞恶作剧。 晚饭后，我们向比阿特丽克斯一家挥手告别，回到了我们的树屋。 我们都决定第二天去徒步旅行。 “我等不及了！”威伯一边说，一边钻进了床。 “我一直想去龙之旅。 “我也是!”我说着，钻进自己的床，把维奥莱特拉到我的胸前，给了他一个拥抱。 我不知道是否应该建议威尔伯在半夜吃顿饭，但是

I was already feeling quite full from the honey sandwiches and quite sleepy. It had been a tiring and interesting day. 'Maybe tomorrow night,' I thought, as I drifted off into sleep.

吃了蜂蜜三明治，我已经觉得很饱了，而且很困。 这是又累又有趣的一天。 “也许明天晚上吧，”我迷迷糊糊地睡着了。
