Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE That evening when we arrived in the Great Hall for dinner we spotted Beatrix and her family and we sat with them. 'Mirabelle!' said Beatrix, smiling. 'Hi, Beatrix,' I said unenthusiastically. I couldn't help feeling rather annoyed with her. 'Mirabelle!' she said again, in a more

第五章那天晚上，当我们到达大厅吃晚饭时，我们看到了比阿特丽克斯和她的家人，我们和他们坐在一起。 “李子!比阿特丽克斯微笑着说。 “嗨，比阿特丽克斯，”我冷淡地说。 我不禁对她感到相当恼火。 “李子!”她又用一种低沉的声音说

whispery voice this time. 'I am SO sorry! I really didn't mean to get you into trouble like that! I thought your potion wasn't working and I was just trying to help you!' 'Really?' I said. 'Of course,' said Beatrix. 'I didn't hear the guide telling us to slow down until it was too late. Please forgive me. I'm really, really sorry!' 'OK,' I smiled. 'I forgive you. Beatrix smiled back. 'Thank you,' she said.

这次是轻声细语。“我很抱歉！”我真的不是有意让你陷入那样的麻烦！我以为你的魔药不管用了我只是想帮你！“真的吗?”我说。 “当然，”比阿特丽克斯说。 “我没有听到导游告诉我们要慢下来，直到为时已晚。 请原谅我。我真的，真的很抱歉！“好吧，”我微笑着说。 “我原谅你。比阿特丽克斯也笑了。 “谢谢你，”她说。

'And just so you know, my parents are cross with me too. They saw me whizz ahead with you on my dragon.' 'My Mum and Dad have calmed down now,' I said, 'but Wilbur is still really annoyed. He's not speaking to me and he told tales on me!' 'He told tales on you!' gasped Beatrix. 'Yes,' I said, explaining about my witch kit. 'But that's so unfair!' said Beatrix. 'I know,' I said. 'But you know what big brothers are like. I'm sure he'll get over it soon.' 'Hmm,' said Beatrix. Then she slid off her chair. 'I just need the toilet,' she

“你也知道，我父母也很生我的气。 他们看到我骑着我的龙带着你飞速前进。“爸爸妈妈现在平静下来了，”我说，“但是威伯还是很生气。” 他不和我说话，还说我的坏话！“他说了你的坏话！”比阿特丽克斯喘着气说。 “是的，”我说，解释着我的女巫装。 “但这太不公平了！”比阿特丽克斯说。 “我知道，”我说。“但你知道大哥是什么样子的。 我相信他很快就会好起来的。“嗯，”比阿特丽克斯说。 然后她从椅子上滑了下来。 “我只是需要上厕所，”她说

said. 'I'll be back in a minute. If the waiter comes, tell my parents to order the beetle burger for me.' 'OK,' I said. By the time Beatrix came back all the food had arrived and Dad had magicked up vegetarian mushroom spaghetti for himself, Wilbur, and me. We all started to tuck in. 'Mmm!' said Beatrix next to me as she munched on her beetle burger. 'Delicious.'

说。“我马上就回来。 如果服务员来了，告诉我父母给我点甲虫汉堡。“好吧，”我说。 贝娅特丽克丝回来的时候，所有的食物都送来了，爸爸已经为他自己、威尔伯和我变出了素蘑菇意大利面。 我们都开始大吃起来。 “嗯!坐在我旁边的比阿特丽克斯一边大嚼甲虫汉堡一边说。 “好吃。”

'Mine's yummy too!' I said, twirling the spaghetti round my fork. Suddenly, I saw something flick across the table and over my plate, towards Wilbur's plate. 'What was that?' I asked. 'I didn't see anything!' said Beatrix and her eyes were very big and round. 'ARGHHHH!' screamed Wilbur, leaping out of his chair and pointing at his plate.

“我的也很好吃！”我一边说，一边在叉子上旋转着意大利面。 突然，我看到有什么东西从桌子那边弹过去，飞过我的盘子，飞向威伯的盘子。 “那是什么？”我问。“我什么也没看见！”比阿特丽克斯说，她的眼睛又大又圆。 “ARGHHHH !威伯尖叫着，从椅子上跳起来，指着他的盘子。

'WORMS!!!' he shouted. I stared in horror at Wilbur's spaghetti which had turned into a squirming pile of worms. I leapt off my own chair feeling a bit sick. 'MIRABELLE!' shouted Wilbur. 'It wasn't me!' I gasped. 'I didn't do it! How could I? My potion kit's been

“虫子! !他喊道。我惊恐地盯着威伯的意大利面，它已经变成了一堆蠕动的虫子。 我从自己的椅子上跳了起来，感觉有点不舒服。 “李子!威伯喊道。 “不是我！”我喘息着说道。“不是我干的！”我怎么可能呢？ 我的药剂包
