Chapter 2

Chapter TWO When you are camping you have to walk to a place called 'The Toilet Block' in your pyjamas, to brush your teeth and have a shower. I had to brush my teeth at a basin next to other people staying on the campsite. It felt a bit funny wearing my pyjamas in public but it didn't matter because everyone

当你在露营时，你必须穿着睡衣走到一个叫做“厕所区”的地方，去刷牙和洗澡。 我不得不和其他住在露营地的人一起在洗脸盆边刷牙。 在公共场合穿睡衣感觉有点滑稽，但没关系，因为每个人

else was wearing them too! We had to use Mum's wand as a torch to walk back across the field after brushing our teeth. Then Pink Rabbit

其他人也戴着它们！我们刷完牙，只好用妈妈的魔杖当火把，穿过田野走回去。 然后是粉红兔子

and I crawled into our stripy tent and snuggled up in the sleeping bag together. It was very cosy. Dad zipped the door up tight for us. 'Goodnight Isadora,' he said. 'Goodnight Pink Rabbit. 'Goodnight, I yawned. Then I lay there in the dark for a bit. There were strange noises all around. Things rustling, owls hooting, people talking. But I wasn't scared. I love the dark!

我爬进我们的条纹帐篷，依偎在睡袋里。 非常舒适。爸爸为我们把门拉得紧紧的。 “晚安，伊莎多拉，”他说。 “晚安，粉红兔子。“晚安，”我打了个哈欠。 然后我在黑暗中躺了一会儿。 周围都是奇怪的声音。 东西沙沙作响，猫头鹰叫，人们说话。 但我并不害怕。我爱黑暗！

I woke up early the next morning because the sun was shining brightly on the roof of my tent. It was very hot. 'Good morning,' chirped Mum when I poked my head outside. 'We're going to the beach as soon as you're ready. We just need to find Dad first. He's disappeared off somewhere...' I had an idea of where Dad might be. Outside the one shower cubicle in The Toilet Block there was a long queue of grumbling people. I skipped past all of them and knocked on the door. 'Dad?' I said.

第二天早上我起得很早，因为太阳明亮地照在我的帐篷顶上。 天气很热。“早上好，”当我探出头来时，妈妈叫道。 “你一准备好，我们就去海滩。 我们得先找到爸爸。 他消失在什么地方了……”我知道爸爸可能在哪里。 在厕所区唯一的淋浴间外，排着长队的人在抱怨。 我跳过他们所有人，敲了敲门。 “爸爸?”我说。

'Yes.' 'How long have you been in there?' 'Only a couple of hours.' A cloud of warm steam rose up from under the door and Dad started humming contentedly. 'Dad,' I said again. 'There's a big queue of people waiting you know.' 'Is there?' said Dad, sounding surprised. 'Yes,' I said. 'You need to hurry up. We're going to the beach.' I heard the shower turn off. 'Alright,' he said. 'I'm coming.' Dad appeared in his towel and turban. He looked very refreshed.

‘是的。“你在里面多久了？”“只有两个小时。”一股暖暖的蒸汽从门缝里冒了出来，爸爸心满意足地哼起了歌。 “爸爸，”我又说。“你知道有一大群人在等着。“有吗？”爸爸惊讶地说。 “是的，”我说。“你得快点了。 我们要去海滩。”我听见淋浴器关了。 “好吧，”他说。“我来了。”爸爸裹着毛巾和头巾出现了。 他看上去神清气爽。

We walked back along the queue of people and I felt my cheeks turn pink with embarrassment. They were all staring at Dad and they didn't look very happy.

我们沿着排队的人群往回走，我感到我的脸颊因尴尬而变得通红。 他们都盯着爸爸看，看起来不太高兴。
