Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE 'Oh no,' I whispered. Aunt Crystal picked up my little sister and put her on her hand. 'What on earth has happened to you?' she said, holding Honeyblossom up close to her face. 'You're tiny!'

第五章“哦，不，”我低声说。 克里斯托阿姨抱起我的小妹妹，把她放在她的手上。 “你到底出了什么事？”她说着，把霍妮花凑近自己的脸。 “你小!”

Grandpa leaned over to peer at Aunt Crystal's hand. Then he turned and looked disapprovingly at Mirabelle and me. I felt like I was shrinking all over again. But Aunt Crystal didn't seem too upset. 'Let's not worry about it!' she said. 'This day is too happy to spoil.' She picked up her powerful snowflake wand from the table and waved it over Honeyblossom.

爷爷俯下身去看克里斯托姨妈的手。 然后他转过身来，不以为然地看着我和米拉贝尔。 我觉得自己又在萎缩了。 但克里斯托姨妈似乎并没有太难过。 “别担心了！”她说。 “这一天太快乐了，不能破坏。”她从桌子上拿起她那根强大的雪花魔杖，在Honeyblossom上方挥舞着。

Icy glitter and snowy stars sparkled in the air for a moment and Honeyblossom appeared full size again, looking damp, sticky, and confused, on Aunt Crystal's lap. 'I'll take her!' I said, holding out my arms to Aunt Crystal. 'I think she needs a change!' But Aunt Crystal shook her head.

冰冷的星光和雪白的星星在空中闪烁了一会儿，蜜花又恢复了原来的大小，看起来湿漉漉的，黏糊糊的，迷迷糊糊的，躺在克里斯托姨妈的腿上。 “我要带她去！”我说着，向克里斯托姨妈伸出双臂。 “我想她需要换换环境！”但是克里斯托姨妈摇了摇头。

'I think Honeyblossom needs to go back to your mum and dad,' she said. 'Where are they? Cordelia! Bartholomew!' Mum and Dad came hurrying over. 'There you are!' said Dad when he saw Mirabelle and me. 'We were worried for a moment. You weren't in the entrance hall when we looked. It's pudding time!' Why is Honeyblossom all damp and sticky?' asked Mum as she took my sister from Aunt Crystal and gave her a hug. 'And why is Mirabelle covered in... icing?' 'Umm,' said Mirabelle as Mum and Dad ushered us away from the top table and back to our own table where Wilbur, Aunt Seraphina, and Uncle Alvin were sitting.

她说：“我觉得Honeyblossom应该回到你爸爸妈妈那里去。” “他们在哪儿？”科迪莉亚!巴塞洛缪!”妈妈和爸爸匆匆赶过来。 “你在这儿！”爸爸看见我和米拉贝尔说。 “我们担心了一会儿。 我们找的时候你不在门厅里。 该吃布丁了！”为什么蜂蜜花又湿又粘？妈妈问，她把我妹妹从克里斯托姨妈手里抱过来，给了她一个拥抱。 “为什么米拉贝尔浑身都是……” 结冰?“嗯，”米拉贝尔说，这时爸爸妈妈把我们从顶桌领了出来，回到我们自己的桌子上，威尔伯、塞拉菲娜姨妈和阿尔文叔叔正坐在那里。

They all had bowls full of creamy trifle and fluffy meringue pie in front of them, and Mirabelle turned green when she saw them. 'What's happened to you?' asked Uncle Alvin when he saw Mirabelle's icing-covered dress and hair.

他们面前都摆着满满一碗奶油松糕和松软的蛋白派，米拉贝尔看到这些东西时，脸都绿了。 “你怎么啦？”阿尔文叔叔看到米拉贝尔裹着冰霜的衣服和头发后问道。

'You've been up to mischief again, haven't you!' said Aunt Seraphina. What have you done this time?' Mirabelle looked at me and I looked back at her. Neither of us dared to say anything. Aunt Seraphina is a witch and can be really scary when she's cross. But after a few moments of silence Mirabelle suddenly burst out, 'It's all my fault! I wanted to shrink so we could look around the cake and eat some of it but Honeyblossom and Isadora touched the potion by mistake too and we all shrank together! Then Honeyblossom got lost and we had to find her...' Her voice trailed off. Then she added, 'Isadora didn't

“你又搞恶作剧了，是不是？”塞拉菲娜姨妈说。 这次你又干了什么？”米拉贝尔看着我，我也看着她。 我们俩谁也不敢说什么。 塞拉菲娜阿姨是个女巫，她生气的时候真的很可怕。 但沉默了片刻之后，米拉贝尔突然大声说道：“都是我的错！我想缩小，这样我们就可以环顾蛋糕四周，吃点蛋糕，但Honeyblossom和伊莎多拉也不小心碰到了药水，我们一起缩小了！然后蜜花迷路了，我们必须找到她……”她的声音变小了。 然后她又说，“伊莎多拉没有
