Chapter 1

Chapter ONE It was a beautiful bright summer morning as I wheeled through the air towards Miss Spindlewick's Witch School for Girls. My hair flowed out behind me in the breeze, and the sun glinted off my pointed hat as I circled the playground, looking for my best friend, Carlotta. There she was! Gliding across the playground with two

第一章那是一个美丽明媚的夏日早晨，我驾着马车向斯平德威克小姐的女巫女子学校驶去。 我在操场上转圈，寻找我最好的朋友卡洛塔，我的头发在微风中飘散在身后，阳光从我的尖顶帽子上闪闪发光。 她在那儿！和两个孩子一起滑过操场

other witch girls, Kira and Tabitha. Wait! Gliding? I flew closer, peered harder. All three of them were wearing roller skates! New, shiny, black and purple roller

其他女巫女孩，基拉和塔比瑟。 等等!滑翔?我飞得更近了，看得更仔细了。 他们三个人都穿着旱冰鞋！新的，闪亮的，黑色和紫色的滚筒

skates. I knew exactly the ones because I had seen them advertised on TV before my brother Wilbur's favourite wizard game show. The roller skates were sleek and sparkly. Beautiful and expensive.

溜冰鞋。我很清楚这些东西，因为在我哥哥威尔伯最喜欢的巫师游戏节目之前，我在电视上看到过它们的广告。 轮滑鞋光滑，闪闪发光。 又漂亮又贵。

They had glittery silver stars all over them, and when you went really fast, sparks shot out from the heels. My eyes went big and round as I watched Carlotta whizz across the black tarmac. I couldn't help feeling a tiny bit jealous. Well, maybe a lot jealous actually. I landed my broom with a skid and hopped off it, my pet dragon Violet fluttering by my ear. 'MIRABELLE!' cried Carlotta, zooming towards me so fast that sparks shot out from her heels. She held out her arms, barrelling right into me so that we both tumbled over.

鞋上满是闪亮的银星，当你跑得很快的时候，鞋后跟就会冒出火花。 当我看着卡洛塔呼啸着穿过黑色的停机坪时，我的眼睛睁得又大又圆。 我忍不住有点嫉妒。 嗯，实际上可能是嫉妒。 我的扫帚滑了一跤，跳了下来，我的宠物龙紫罗兰在我耳边飞舞。 “李子!卡洛塔叫道，她飞快地朝我冲过来，脚后跟喷出了火星。 她伸出双臂，向我猛扑过来，我们俩都摔倒了。
