Chapter 6

Chapter SIX By the time Emerald and I woke up the next morning, all the other merfriends were downstairs and having breakfast. Emerald sat up in bed, yawning and stretching. She smiled at me. I smiled back, and we watched Inkibelle twist and twizzle in the water for a bit. She swam over to Pink Rabbit and bopped him on

第六章第二天早上，当我和翡翠醒来的时候，所有其他的人鱼朋友都在楼下吃早饭了。 祖母绿从床上坐起来，打着哈欠，伸伸懒腰。 她对我微笑。我也对他笑了笑，我们看着因基贝利在水里扭动了一会儿。 她游到粉红兔身边，把它抱了上去

the nose. Pink Rabbit bopped her back with his paw. 'Thank you for coming with me last night, Isadora,' said Emerald. 'It was really kind of you. Especially as I was kind of... moody yesterday.' 'That's OK,' I replied. 'It was fun to see Scallop City at night!'

的鼻子。粉红兔用爪子拍打着她的背。 “谢谢你昨晚陪我来，伊莎多拉，”祖母绿说。 “你真是太好了。 尤其是当我有点… 穆迪昨天。“没关系，”我回答。 “晚上看扇贝城真有趣！”

'It was,' agreed Emerald. 'And I feel so much better now! I think everything is going to be OK. But... I think I need to talk to Delphina before I do anything else. I wasn't very nice to her yesterday.' 'No,' I agreed. 'I was just feeling so sad and angry,' said Emerald. 'But maybe... it will be nice to have Delphina as my sister after all.' Together we swam downstairs and into the kitchen. 'Hello, sleepyheads, said Marina's mum. She peered at Inkibelle who was swimming by Emerald's ear. I don't remember seeing this little

“是的，”祖母绿同意道。“我现在感觉好多了！”我想一切都会好起来的。 但是…我想我得先和戴尔菲娜谈谈再做其他事。 我昨天对她不太好。“不，”我同意了。 “我只是觉得又伤心又生气，”祖母绿说。 “但也许…有戴尔菲娜做我的妹妹真好。”我们一起游到楼下，进了厨房。 “你们好，瞌睡虫们，”玛丽娜的妈妈说。 她凝视着在翡翠耳边游来游去的因基贝利。 我不记得见过这个小

She glanced at me and I shrugged, not knowing whether Emerald wanted to tell everyone about our midnight adventure or not.

“昨天是章鱼，”她说。 “哦,嗯……“这里是因基贝利。”祖母绿说。 “Inkibelle ? !”玛丽娜说。 “她真可爱！”你从哪里找到她的，祖母绿？“哦，”祖母绿说。 “嗯…”她瞥了我一眼，我耸了耸肩，不知道祖母绿是否想把我们午夜的冒险告诉大家。

'My dad gave her to me,' said Emerald. 'Last night. He forgot my starfish plushie and... wait! This is more important. She stared right at Delphina. 'I'm sorry for being mean to you yesterday,' she said. 'And lately.' Delphina looked surprised. And then pleased. Her cheeks turned pink. 'Oh, it's OK,' she said. 'It's fine. We don't have to say we're sisters if you don't want to.' No, it's fine,' said Emerald. 'I mean, I guess I'll get used to it.' 'Really?' said Delphina, her whole face lighting up with delight. 'Of course!' said Emerald. 'I'll try my

“我爸爸把她给我的，”祖母绿说。 “昨晚。他忘了我的海星毛绒玩具… 等等!这一点更重要。 她直勾勾地盯着德尔菲娜。 “我很抱歉昨天对你那么刻薄，”她说。 “最近”。德尔菲娜显得很惊讶。 然后很高兴。她的脸颊变红了。 “哦，没关系，”她说。“这很好。 如果你不想说，我们不必说我们是姐妹。”“不，没关系，”祖母绿说。 “我的意思是，我想我会习惯的。“真的吗?德尔菲娜说，她的整个脸都高兴得容光焕发。 “当然!祖母绿说。 “我试试我的。

best to be a good sister.' Delphina nodded, getting up from the table to hug Emerald. It made me feel all warm inside, and I gave Pink Rabbit a big squeeze.

最好做个好姐姐。”德尔菲娜点了点头，从桌边站起来拥抱了翡翠。 它让我感到全身温暖，我紧紧地挤了粉红兔一下。
