ISADORA MOON Meets the Tooth Fairy

伊莎多拉·月亮遇见牙仙

Chapter ONE It was Saturday morning and we were all having breakfast in the kitchen. 'I can't believe you're still eating those strange rainbow loopy loops from the human supermarket!' shuddered Mum. 'You could be having flower nectar yoghurt like me!' My mum is a fairy and only likes eating natural food.

第一章那是星期六的早晨，我们都在厨房里吃早饭。 “我不敢相信你还在吃人类超市里买的奇怪的彩虹圈！”妈妈颤抖着说。 “你可以像我一样喝花蜜酸奶！”我妈妈是个仙女，只喜欢吃天然食物。

'I like them!' I said, spooning a whole heap into my mouth and biting down with a big CRUNCH. 'They really do look disgusting,' agreed Dad as he took a sip of his red juice. My dad is a vampire and only likes food if it is red. I shrugged and carried on chewing. I am a mixture of both vampire and fairy so I like all sorts of different foods. Even human food! My baby sister Honeyblossom is the same. I spooned some more

“我喜欢他们！”我说着，用勺子把一大堆放进嘴里，嘎吱一声咬了下去。 “它们看起来真的很恶心，”爸爸赞同地喝了一口红果汁。 我爸爸是个吸血鬼，他只喜欢红色的食物。 我耸耸肩，继续咀嚼。 我是吸血鬼和仙女的混合体，所以我喜欢各种不同的食物。 甚至是人类的食物！我的小妹妹蜜花也是一样。 我又舀了一些

loopy loops into my mouth. Crunch, crunch, crunch. And then I stopped. Something felt strange. 'What's the matter Isadora?' asked Dad, peering at me. 'You look worried,' said Mum. I swallowed the loopy loops and then reached up to touch my front fang. It wiggled! 'Oh!' I said, feeling shocked. Mum and Dad both beamed at me. 'You've got a wobbly tooth!' said Mum. 'A wobbly fang,' corrected Dad. 'How exciting! That means your grown up vampire teeth must be coming through.'

甜甜圈塞进我嘴里。 嘎吱嘎吱。然后我停了下来。 感觉有些奇怪。“怎么了，伊莎多拉？”爸爸盯着我问。 “你看起来很担心，”妈妈说。 我吞下了那些圆圈，然后伸手去摸我的前牙。 它扭动!“哦!”我说，感到很震惊。 妈妈和爸爸都对我微笑。 “你有一颗牙齿在打颤！”妈妈说。 “一个摇摇晃晃的尖牙。”爸爸纠正道。 “多么令人兴奋!这意味着你的成年吸血鬼牙齿一定长出来了。”

'You'll be able to put it under your pillow when it falls out,' said Mum. 'The tooth fairy will leave you a shiny silver coin!' 'Oooh!' I said, and Pink Rabbit jumped up and down beside my chair with excitement. (Pink Rabbit used to be my favourite stuffed toy but my mum magicked him alive with her wand.) Dad didn't seem quite so excited. 'The tooth fairy?' he said, frowning. 'Of course!' said Mum. 'It's tradition. All young fairies leave their teeth out for the tooth fairy. She needs teeth to build her palace.'

“当它掉出来的时候，你可以把它放在枕头下面。”妈妈说。 “牙仙会给你留下一枚闪亮的银币！”“噢!”我说，粉红兔兴奋地在我的椅子旁跳上跳下。 （粉红兔曾经是我最喜欢的毛绒玩具，但我妈妈用魔杖把它变活了。）爸爸似乎不太兴奋。 “牙仙子？”他皱着眉头说。 “当然!妈妈说。“这是传统。 所有的小仙女都把牙齿留给牙仙子。 她需要牙齿来建造她的宫殿。”

'Why can't she use bricks like everyone else?' asked Dad. 'They're not as pearly,' said Mum. 'Humph,' said Dad. Well, I don't agree with the tooth fairy! Vampires NEVER give their precious fangs away!

“为什么她不能像其他人一样用砖头呢？”爸爸问。 妈妈说：“它们没有那么珍珠。” “哼，”爸爸说。我不同意牙仙子的说法！吸血鬼从不放弃他们珍贵的尖牙！
