ISADORA MOON Goes to the Ballet

伊莎多拉·穆恩去看芭蕾舞

Chapter ONE Isadora Moon, that's me! And this is Pink Rabbit. He is my best friend. We do everything together. Some of our favourite things include: flying among the stars in the night sky, having glitter tea parties with my bat- patterned tea set, and practising our ballet.

第一章伊莎多拉·穆恩，那就是我！这是粉红兔。 他是我最好的朋友。我们做什么都在一起。 我们最喜欢的事情包括：在夜空中的星星间飞行，用我的蝙蝠图案的茶具举行闪闪发光的茶会，练习我们的芭蕾舞。

We have been practising our ballet a lot recently and putting on shows for Mum and Dad. I have discovered that Dad's vampire cape makes a great stage curtain! It looks especially nice with silver-star sequins glued onto it... though I am not sure Dad agrees. He seemed a bit ...annoyed last time he saw his best cape being used as a stage curtain. 'It's covered in stars!' he complained. 'I'm not a wizard, I'm a vampire! Vampires don't have starry capes.' I felt a bit bad then but it was OK because Mum waved her wand and the stars all disappeared. She can do things like that because she's a fairy.

我们最近一直在练习芭蕾舞，并为爸爸妈妈表演。 我发现爸爸的吸血鬼斗篷可以做舞台幕布！粘上银星亮片看起来特别漂亮。 虽然我不确定爸爸是否同意。 他看起来有点……上次他看到自己最好的斗篷被用作舞台幕布时很恼火。 “到处都是星星！”他抱怨道。 “我不是巫师，我是吸血鬼！”吸血鬼没有星星的斗篷。”我当时感觉有点难受，但没关系，因为妈妈一挥魔杖，星星就消失了。 她能这么做是因为她是仙女。

She was the one who magicked Pink Rabbit alive for me. 'Good as new!' she said, sitting down on one of the chairs Pink Rabbit and I had put out for the audience. Dad sat down too, with my baby sister, Honeyblossom, on his lap, and they both waited for our show to begin.

是她为我变出了粉红兔子。 “像新的一样！”她说着，在我和粉红兔为观众准备的一张椅子上坐了下来。 爸爸也坐了下来，我的小妹妹蜜花坐在他的腿上，他们都在等着我们的节目开始。

'Right, I whispered to Pink Rabbit once we were behind the non-starry curtain. 'Can you remember your moves?' Pink Rabbit nodded and did a perfect arabesque. He's been getting very good at ballet lately. I gave him a thumbs up. 'Let's go!' I whispered Together we leapt out from behind the curtain in a magnificent grand jeté. Mum and Dad clapped and cheered. Pink Rabbit began to pirouette on his tippy- toes. I swirled and twirled in my black glittering tutu. 'Marvellous!' called Dad. 'Enchanting!' said Mum, waving her

“好吧，”一到没有星星的帘子后面，我就小声对粉红兔说。 “你还记得你的舞步吗？”粉红兔点了点头，做了一个完美的阿拉伯式动作。 他最近芭蕾舞学得越来越好了。 我对他竖起大拇指。“我们走吧!”我低声说，我们一起从帘子后面跳了出来，坐上一架宏伟的喷气式飞机。 妈妈和爸爸鼓掌欢呼。 粉红兔开始踮起脚尖旋转。 我穿着闪闪发光的黑色芭蕾舞裙不停地旋转。 “不可思议的!爸爸叫道。“迷人的!妈妈挥手说

wand so that we were showered with pink flower petals.

魔杖使我们被粉红色的花瓣撒了一地。
