Chapter 7

Chapter SEVEN Mum swung her legs out of bed. 'I do feel better after that nap,' she said, stretching. 'Certainly well enough to come downstairs. I'll have a cup of nectar tea in the sitting room and watch Honeyblossom for a bit.' 'Oh no!' said Dad. 'You stay in bed and rest, Cordelia. I promise you,

第七章妈妈把腿甩下了床。 她一边伸伸懒腰，一边说：“小睡之后我确实感觉好多了。” “当然好到可以下楼了。 我要在客厅喝杯花蜜茶，看一会儿《Honeyblossom》。“哦，不！”爸爸说。 “你躺在床上休息，科迪拉。 我保证，

everything's under control!' 'I'm sure it is,' said Mum. 'But you look exhausted, Bartholomew, and it's getting boring being in bed. Have a sleep!' 'Really?' said Dad, looking longingly at the bed. 'Yes!' smiled Mum. 'And you can't catch fairy flu anyway, so you're safe.' She took Honeyblossom from Dad and headed out of the bedroom, her long pink hair trailing behind her. She did look like a princess. I found myself feeling quite jealous! 'Just one last job before I can go to bed,' said Dad, going to look at my pile of clothes on the landing. We must get your

一切都在掌控之中！“我肯定是，”妈妈说。 “但是你看起来很疲惫，巴塞洛缪，躺在床上越来越无聊了。 睡个好觉！“真的吗?爸爸说，渴望地看着床。 “是的!妈妈笑着说。“而且你不会得仙女流感的，所以你是安全的。”她从爸爸手里接过“蜜花”，走出了卧室，粉红色的长发披散在身后。 她看起来确实像个公主。 我发现自己很嫉妒！“我睡觉前还有最后一件事要做，”爸爸说着，看了看我放在楼梯平台上的一堆衣服。 我们必须把你的

things in the washing machine, Isadora. We can't have any more of that soil anywhere. I'll fetch some tongs. 'Wait!' I said. 'Let me do it. You go and rest.' 'Are you sure you can do it without getting any of the magic on you?' asked Dad. I nodded, feeling a tiny spark of Mirabelle mischief flicker inside me. 'I definitely can,' I replied—but that didn't mean I would. Dad gave a nervous nod, then a more confident one, before disappearing into the bedroom and closing the door. I picked up my pile of clothes and

洗衣机里的东西，伊莎多拉。 任何地方都不能再有这种土壤了。 我去拿几把钳子。“等等!”我说。 “让我来吧。你去休息吧。“你确定你能做到而不受魔法的影响吗？”爸爸问。 我点了点头，感到一丝米拉贝尔的恶作剧在我心中闪烁。 “我当然可以，”我回答，但这并不意味着我愿意。 爸爸紧张地点了点头，然后更自信地点了点头，然后消失在卧室里，关上了门。 我捡起一堆衣服，然后

hurried downstairs with them as fast as possible, shoving them straight into the washing machine, then I ran my now sparkly fingers all the way through my hair!

赶紧拿着它们下楼，把它们直接塞进洗衣机，然后我用我现在闪闪发光的手指梳理我的头发！

Ten minutes later, I walked into the sitting room with a tray of tea and fruit for me, Mum, and Honeyblossom (Oscar had helped make the tea!). As I walked, I could feel my long, looong hair trailing across the floor. 'Your mum's going to notice!' warned Oscar. 'I know!' I giggled. 'But somehow I don't think she'll mind.' Mum looked up from where she was sitting on the sofa with a happy Honeyblossom on her lap. She was conjuring bubbles from her wand and Honeyblossom was trying to pop them by clapping her hands.

十分钟后，我带着一盘茶和水果走进客厅，这盘茶是给我、妈妈和Honeyblossom的（奥斯卡帮我泡的茶！） 当我走着的时候，我能感觉到我长长的头发飘过地板。 “你妈妈会注意到的！”奥斯卡警告道。 “我知道!”我咯咯笑了。“不过我想她是不会介意的。”妈妈从她坐在沙发上的地方抬起头来，膝盖上放着一朵快乐的蜂蜜花。 她正在用魔杖召唤泡泡，而蜜花正试图用拍手把泡泡弄破。
