Chapter 3

Chapter THREE There was a huge gasp from the wedding guests as Aunt Crystal walked out into the hall and everyone turned to look at her. She began to glide slowly down the aisle to some beautiful tinkly fairy music. Mirabelle, Wilbur, and I followed her proudly, scattering flower petals on the ground from our baskets, like we had been

克丽斯托尔姨妈走进大厅时，参加婚礼的客人们都倒吸了一口气，大家都转过头来看着她。 她开始在悦耳的仙女音乐中慢慢地滑过过道。 米拉贝尔、威伯和我骄傲地跟在她后面，把篮子里的花瓣撒在地上，就像我们以前那样

told to. There was a tall summer fairy in a pink and white striped suit waiting for Aunt Crystal at the end of the aisle. He took her hand and smiled. They both looked so happy.

告知。有一个高大的夏季仙女，穿着粉白色条纹的衣服，在过道的尽头等着克里斯托姨妈。 他握住她的手，微笑着。 他们俩看起来都很开心。

'If I ever get married,' whispered Mirabelle as we took our seats at the front of the great hall, 'I'm going to have a silver dress made of spiderwebs!' The ceremony started and Mirabelle, Wilbur, and I tried our best not to fidget or whisper to each other. But it was hard. There was so much talking and singing. It just went on and on! At last

“如果我结婚了，”当我们在大厅前面就座时，米拉贝尔低声说，“我要有一件用蜘蛛网织成的银裙子！”仪式开始了，米拉贝尔、威伯和我尽量不坐立不安，也不互相窃窃私语。 但这很难。有那么多的谈话和唱歌。 就这样没完没了！最后

there was a loud chiming of bells, everyone cheered, and Aunt Crystal walked back up the aisle holding the hand of her new husband, Wren. All around us fairies threw confetti until a blizzard of petals and snowflakes swirled throughout the great hall. 'Thank goodness that's over!' said Mirabelle. 'That was boring, wasn't it!' 'Mmm,' I said, not wanting to be rude about Aunt Crystal's wedding even though I had found it

一阵响亮的钟声响起，每个人都欢呼起来，克里斯托姨妈牵着新婚丈夫鹪鹩的手，沿着过道往回走。 仙女们在我们周围撒着五彩纸屑，直到花瓣和雪花的暴风雪在大厅里盘旋。 “谢天谢地，总算结束了！”米拉贝尔说。 “太无聊了，不是吗？”“嗯，”我说，虽然克里斯托姨妈的婚礼是我发现的，但我不想对她无礼

quite boring too. We found our parents and then followed them into a banqueting hall and towards a round table with a huge flowery centrepiece in the middle of it. I sat down next to Mirabelle with Honeyblossom on the other side of me in her high chair. She was a bit grizzly after having sat through the whole ceremony.

也很无聊。我们找到了父母，跟着他们走进宴会厅，走向一张中间摆着巨大花朵的圆桌。 我在米拉贝尔旁边坐了下来，Honeyblossom坐在我的另一边，坐在她的高椅子上。 她坐着看完整个典礼后，脸色有些苍白。

'This looks yummy!' said Mirabelle as waiters started to come round the room with plates of fairy food on silver platters. We gobbled our lunch down and then waited for pudding. There were lots of delicious-looking desserts on a table on the other side of the room. I could see a big creamy trifle and a fluffy meringue pie and a bowl of fairy fruit salad. 'I'm going to have a big bit of everything!' said Mirabelle greedily. 'Me too!' I said. But it turned out that we couldn't have pudding straight away. We had to listen to the speeches first. Grandpa got up and talked for a long time and then Aunt

“这看起来很好吃！”米拉贝尔说，这时侍应生们端着盛满仙人食物的银盘开始在房间里走来走去。 我们狼吞虎咽地吃完午饭，然后等着吃布丁。 房间另一边的桌子上有许多看起来很美味的甜点。 我可以看到一个大的奶油松糕，一个松软的蛋白派和一碗美味的水果沙拉。 “我什么都要吃一大堆！”米拉贝尔贪婪地说。 “我也是!”我说。但事实证明，我们不能马上吃布丁。 我们得先听演讲。 爷爷站起来说了很长时间，然后是阿姨
