Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR We all followed Mum and Dad into the back garden. Then Mum pointed her wand at the sky. A silvery thread shot out of the end and lassoed itself around one of the fat fluffy clouds in the sky. Mum pulled it down to the ground gently and pegged it into the grass. 'Clouds make wonderful bouncy

第四章我们都跟着爸爸妈妈进了后花园。 然后妈妈用魔杖指着天空。 一根银色的线从末端伸出来，绕在天空中一片蓬松的云上。 妈妈轻轻地把它拉到地上，把它钉在草地上。 “云很有弹性

castles,' she told everyone. 'So much softer and bouncier.' I frowned. I should have known a human bouncy castle was too much to ask. But my friends didn't seem to mind. They all looked astonished and excited. Their eyes were round like saucers. You can all hop on, said Mum. 'Bounce away! Dad and I are going to go inside and put the candles on the birthday cake.'

“城堡。”她告诉大家。 “柔软多了，有弹性多了。”我皱起了眉头。 我早该知道人肉充气城堡的要求太过分了。 但我的朋友们似乎并不介意。 他们都显得既惊讶又兴奋。 他们的眼睛圆得像碟子。 妈妈说，你们都可以跳上去。 “反弹了!爸爸和我要进去把蜡烛插到生日蛋糕上。”

Zoe was the first to take off her shoes and jump on to the cloud. 'It's so soft!' she exclaimed as she bounced up and down. 'I'm so high!'

佐伊第一个脱下鞋子，跳上了云。 “太软了！”她一边上下蹦蹦跳跳地叫着。 “我太嗨了！”

Soon all my friends were on the cloud, bouncing around and laughing. It didn't look like anything could go wrong this time so I decided to join in. I took off my shoes and jumped up on to the cloud. 'Whee!' I cried. Suddenly I felt very happy. Everyone was having a good time. Even Samantha!

很快，我所有的朋友都上了云，跳来跳去，哈哈大笑。 这次看起来不会出什么差错，所以我决定加入进来。 我脱下鞋子，跳上了云。 “哟!”我哭了。突然我感到很高兴。 每个人都玩得很开心。 甚至萨曼莎!

It was just as much fun as a human party! 'It's like flying!' yelled Oliver. As we soared higher and laughed and screamed, I noticed Wilbur come out of the house and into the garden. He walked over to the cloud and stared up at us. Do you want me to make it even bouncier?' he asked. 'Seeing as I didn't get to finish my show, I could do some more magic for you now.' 'Oh yes!' cried all my friends. 'Please do more magic!' I stopped bouncing and jumped right off the cloud and on to the grass. 'I don't think that's a good idea, Wilbur—' I began.

这和人类聚会一样有趣！“就像在飞一样！”奥利弗喊道。 当我们飞得更高，又笑又叫的时候，我注意到威伯从房子里出来，进了花园。 他走到云端，抬头看着我们。 你想让它更有弹性吗？他问。 “既然我没有完成我的表演，我现在可以为你们再表演一些魔术。“哦，是的！”我所有的朋友都喊道。 “请再施点魔法吧！”我不再蹦蹦跳跳，直接从云端跳到草地上。 “我不认为这是个好主意，威伯——”我开始说。
