Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR The following day I woke up to sunshine streaming through the treehouse window and the sound of leaves rustling outside. 'Sunshine!' cried Dad happily as he burst into mine and Wilbur's room. 'How cheering! Time to get up, you two. We're meeting Beatrix's family to go dragon trekking, remember?'

第四章第二天，我醒来，阳光从树屋的窗户射进来，外面树叶沙沙作响。 “阳光!爸爸冲进我和威伯的房间，高兴地叫道。 “如何欢呼!该起床了，你们两个。 我们要和比阿特丽克丝的家人一起去龙行，记得吗？”

'Oh yes!' I said, jumping out of bed and feeling a tingle of excitement in my toes. I hurriedly got dressed, and then went out onto the deck where Mum was having her usual breakfast of spider sprinkled toast and Dad had used his wand to magic up some flower petal fairy yoghurt. 'You ought to practise using your fairy wand, Mirabelle,' said Dad. 'I'd like

“哦,是的!”我说着，从床上跳了起来，脚趾头感到一阵兴奋。 我赶紧穿好衣服，走到甲板上，妈妈正在吃她平常吃的早餐——蜘蛛洒吐司，爸爸用魔杖变出了一些花瓣精灵酸奶。 “你应该练习使用你的魔法棒，米拉贝尔。”爸爸说。 “我想

to see you magic up your own breakfast with it this morning.' I hurried off to my room and rummaged in my suitcase to find my wand. It was right at the bottom sitting alongside my witch kit. 'What's that?' asked Wilbur, coming to peer over my shoulder. 'What's what?' I asked, closing the lid of my suitcase quickly. I felt my cheeks turn a bit pink. I saw some of your witch things in there!' said Wilbur. 'I thought Mum and Dad told you not to bring them.' 'Oh, well...' I began. 'I...' 'Mirabelle!' said Wilbur. 'You'd better

看到你今天早上用它变出了自己的早餐。”我急忙跑回房间，在行李箱里翻找魔杖。 它就在最底下，和我的女巫工具箱放在一起。 “那是什么?威伯问，走过来从我的肩膀后面偷看。 “什么什么?”我问，迅速盖上了行李箱盖。 我觉得我的脸颊有点发红。 我在里面看到了你的一些女巫的东西！威伯说。 “我以为妈妈和爸爸告诉过你不要带它们。“哦，好吧……”我开始。 “我……“李子!威伯说。 “你最好

not be planning to play any tricks on me!' 'I'm not planning anything!' I said. 'I'm not going to use it. I bet you brought your wizards things.' 'I'm allowed to bring my wizard things,' said Wilbur, 'because I'm sensible with them!' He looked so smug that I felt immediately cross. 'Just don't tell Mum and Dad,' I huffed, and stomped out of the room with

别想跟我耍花招！“我没有计划什么！”我说。 “我不打算用它。我打赌你带了巫师的东西。“我被允许带我的魔法物品，”威伯说，“因为我对它们很敏感！”他看上去那么沾沾自喜，我立刻感到很生气。 “千万别告诉爸爸妈妈。”我气呼呼地说着，跺着脚走出了房间

my fairy wand. I cheered up when Mum and Dad let me magic up whatever I wanted as a special holiday treat. I had chocolate cake for breakfast with a strawberry crush drink. 'Very good, Mirabelle!' said Dad approvingly as I waved my wand above my plate, sending stars and sparkles flurrying through the air. 'You see, fairy magic isn't all boring!' 'No,' I agreed as I munched on my cake.

我的魔法棒。当爸爸妈妈让我变出任何我想要的东西作为节日特别款待时，我高兴了起来。 我早餐吃了巧克力蛋糕和草莓碎饮料。 “很好，米拉贝尔！”爸爸赞许地说，我在盘子上方挥动魔杖，星星和闪光在空中飞舞。 “你看，精灵的魔法并不全是无聊的！”“不，”我一边大嚼蛋糕，一边同意道。

After breakfast we walked back to the Great Hall where we met Beatrix's family for the dragon trekking. 'Hello, Mirabelle!' shouted Beatrix happily. She was wearing a full explorer's outfit and had a pair of binoculars hanging round her neck. 'Hi, Beatrix!' I smiled. We didn't have much time to talk because the tour guide suddenly appeared and beckoned for us all to follow him into the forest. We walked down a winding path away from the treehouses until we got

早餐后，我们走回大礼堂，在那里我们会见了比阿特丽克斯的家人，一起去龙徒步旅行。 “你好,李子!比阿特丽克斯高兴地喊道。 她穿着全套探险服，脖子上挂着一副双筒望远镜。 “嗨,比阿特丽克斯!”我笑了笑。我们没有太多的时间说话，因为导游突然出现，并示意我们所有人跟着他进入森林。 我们沿着一条蜿蜒的小路离开树屋，直到我们到达
