Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR I could tell Wilbur had been using wizard magic because his fingertips were slightly sparking. Wizards use their hands a lot to do magic. In front of him sat Snowspell the cat. But she didn't look quite like she usually does. Her snowy white fur had turned bright purple and her usually dormant wings were fluttering. They kept

我看得出威伯一直在使用巫师的魔法，因为他的指尖微微冒着火花。 巫师经常用手施魔法。 在他前面坐着一只叫雪魔的猫。 但她看起来不像平时那样。 她雪白的皮毛变成了鲜亮的紫色，平时休眠的翅膀在扇动。 他们一直

lifting her a few inches up off the ground, before plonking her back down again. She looked completely bewildered.

把她抬离地面几英寸，然后又把她摔在地上。 她看上去完全不知所措。

'Mirabelle, don't tell Granny and Grandpa!' said Wilbur, twisting his hands about worriedly. 'I just couldn't resist doing some magic. But it all went a bit wrong! I was only trying to do something nice for Snowspell. She came out into the garden looking so cross!' 'Ah,' I said. 'Well, I think I know why...' 'I thought she might cheer up if I could make her fly properly for a bit,' said Wilbur, 'like she would have been able to when she was a kitten! But it didn't work how it was supposed to, and for some reason she turned purple too!' Snowspell lifted jerkily back up into

“米拉贝尔，别告诉爷爷奶奶！”威伯说，焦急地扭动着双手。 “我就是忍不住要施点魔法。 但这一切都有点不对劲！我只是想为雪魔做点好事。 她出来走进花园，看起来很生气！“啊，”我说。 “嗯，我想我知道为什么了……“我想，如果我能让她好好飞一会儿，她可能会高兴起来，”威伯说，“就像她还是只小猫的时候那样！”但效果并不理想，不知道为什么，她也变成了紫色！”“雪咒”猛地抬起头

the air again for a few moments, before juddering back down to the ground. She gave a confused 'mew'. 'I feel so bad!' said Wilbur. 'I don't know how to fix it with wizard magic. I already tried. Have you got your fairy wand with you? I think mine's fallen down the side of the chair that Grandpa's sitting on!' 'Oh!' I said, my heart sinking. 'Wilbur, I was hoping you'd have your fairy wand on you. 'I have a little problem of my own...'

在摇晃着回到地面之前，空气又上升了一会儿。 她困惑地说了声“新”。 “我感觉很糟糕！”威伯说。 “我不知道怎么用巫师的魔法把它修好。 我已经试过了。你带着你的魔法棒了吗？ 我想我的掉在爷爷坐的椅子边上了！“哦!”我说，心一沉。 “威伯，我还希望你带着你的魔法棒呢。 “我自己也有点小问题……”

I told Wilbur everything that had happened back up in our bedroom. Wilbur stared at me in dismay but I could also tell that he was glad he wasn't the only one to do something wrong. 'I didn't mean to make so much mess,' I finished. 'Everything just got a bit out of control. You won't tell on me will you Wilbur?'

我把我们卧室里发生的一切都告诉了威尔伯。 威尔伯沮丧地盯着我，但我也看得出来，他很高兴他不是唯一做错事的人。 “我不是故意弄得这么乱的，”我说完。 “一切都有点失控了。 你不会告发我吧，威尔伯？”

'As long as you don't tell on me,' replied Wilbur. 'It's a pact!' I said and we shook hands on it. 'What now then?' asked Wilbur. 'We have to see if we can sort it out before Granny and Grandpa see. They'll be so cross! They hate mess!' 'I'm sure if we both work together with your wizard magic and my witch magic, we can fix everything!' I said hopefully. 'I'll try and fix Snowspell and you can fix my duvet. Let's go back into the house. My witch kit is in our bedroom!' I picked up Snowspell and carried her

“只要你不告发我，”威伯回答。 “这是一个约定！”我说，我们握了握手。 “现在怎么办？”威伯问。 “我们得看看能不能在爷爷奶奶看到之前把它解决掉。 他们会很生气的！他们讨厌混乱！“我相信，如果我们一起用你的男巫魔法和我的女巫魔法，我们就能解决一切问题！”我满怀希望地说。 “我来试着修好‘雪咒’，你来修我的羽绒被。 我们回屋里去吧。 我的女巫工具箱在卧室里！”我抱起雪魔，抱着她
