Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR So Pink Rabbit and Marina and I had tea together with Princess Delphina and her mer-bear. We had cupcakes and sea berries and little shrimp sandwiches with the crusts cut off. It was all very nice, but everything tasted a bit soggy. 'That was lovely,' I said politely. 'Thank you. Could I please have the comb now?'

于是，粉红兔、玛丽娜和我，还有德尔菲娜公主和她的mer-bear一起喝茶。 我们吃了纸杯蛋糕、海莓和切了皮的小虾三明治。 一切都很好，但是每样东西尝起来都有点湿。 “太好了，”我礼貌地说。 “谢谢你。现在能把梳子给我吗？”

Princess Delphina frowned. 'I will give it to you,' she said. 'If you play a game of hide and seek with me.' 'But...' I began. 'I'll count!' said the Princess. 'Go and hide!' So we all played hide and seek for quite a long time and Marina whispered to me that we must always let the Princess win. So we did. 'That was great fun!' said the Princess. 'Let's play something else now!' I stared upward towards the surface of the water and felt a bit worried. It was starting to get light. 'Let's play... dress up!' said the

德尔菲娜公主皱起眉头。 “我把它给你，”她说。 “如果你和我玩捉迷藏的话。“但是……”我开始。 “我数!公主说。 “去躲起来！”所以我们都玩了很长时间的捉迷藏，玛丽娜低声对我说，我们一定要让公主赢。 于是我们就这么做了。“太好玩了！”公主说。 “我们现在玩点别的吧！”我抬头望着水面，感到有点担心。 天开始亮了。 “让我们玩…装扮!”他说。

Mermaid Princess and she led us over to a big box of jewels by her throne. She began to pick out pearl necklaces and coral bracelets and shiny tiaras made of shells and starfish. 'Put these on!' she ordered, holding the jewels out towards me. 'I...' I started to object. 'Oh go on,' the Princess said. No one ever comes to play with me. I glanced up at the surface of the water again. It was getting lighter by the second. 'I can't,' I said. I'm sorry but I really have to go. Can I have the comb back now, please?'

美人鱼公主，她把我们带到她宝座旁的一个大珠宝盒前。 她开始挑选珍珠项链、珊瑚手镯和贝壳和海星做的闪亮头饰。 “穿上这个！”她命令道，把珠宝递给我。 “我……”我开始反对。 “哦，说下去吧，”公主说。 从来没有人来和我玩。 我又抬头看了一眼水面。 天色渐渐亮了。 “我不能，”我说。对不起，我真的得走了。 现在能把梳子还给我吗？”
