ISADORA MOON Goes on a School Trip

伊莎多拉·穆恩参加学校旅行

Chapter ONE Isadora Moon, that's me! And this is Pink Rabbit. He comes everywhere with me. Even on school trips! I have only ever been on one school trip before— we went to the ballet—so I was very excited when our teacher, Miss Cherry, announced that we would be going on another

第一章伊莎多拉·穆恩，那就是我！这是粉红兔。 他到哪里都跟着我。 甚至在学校旅行中！我以前只参加过一次学校旅行——我们去看芭蕾舞——所以当我们的老师切里小姐宣布我们将再去一次时，我非常兴奋

one in a week's time! 'Oh, lovely,' said Mum when I brought the letter home to show her. 'A historic castle museum! That will be interesting. Would you like Dad and me to volunteer again?'

一周一个！“哦，太好了，”当我把信拿回家给妈妈看时，妈妈说。 “一座历史悠久的城堡博物馆！”那将会很有趣。 你想让爸爸和我再做一次志愿者吗？”

'Erm...' I began hesitantly. Mum and Dad had volunteered on my last school trip and it had been fine (mostly) but I am always a little unsure about them offering to help out. The thing is that my Mum is a fairy and my Dad is a vampire (which makes me a vampire fairy, by the way). They are not quite like other parents, and sometimes it can be embarrassing. 'You can,' I said. 'If you really want to. Except Miss Cherry said they only need one volunteer this time. So only one of you can come.' 'Ah,' said Mum, looking slightly disappointed. 'That's a shame. You'd better take your Dad then. You know how much

“嗯…”我迟疑地说。 妈妈和爸爸自愿参加了我上次的学校旅行，这很好（大部分情况下），但我总是有点不确定他们是否会主动提供帮助。 事情是这样的，我妈妈是一个仙女，我爸爸是一个吸血鬼（顺便说一下，这使我成为一个吸血鬼仙女）。 他们和其他父母不太一样，有时这让人很尴尬。 “你可以，”我说。“如果你真的想的话。 除了Cherry小姐说他们这次只需要一个志愿者。 所以你们只有一个人能来。“啊，”妈妈说，看起来有点失望。 “真可惜。那你最好带上你爸爸。 你知道我有多

he loves old castles!' 'I do!' agreed Dad, who was jiggling my baby sister Honeyblossom up and down. 'I would love to go!' He whipped a pen out from underneath his cloak and briskly signed the letter. Dear Parent, School trip: Historic castle museum Date: 20th October Time: 09:00 Please sign to give your child permission to come. We would also be grateful if a parent could volunteer to accompany the class.

他喜欢古老的城堡！“是的！”爸爸同意了，他把我的小妹妹蜜花摇上摇下。 “我很想去！”他从斗篷下抽出一支笔，轻快地在信上签了名。 亲爱的家长，学校旅行：历史城堡博物馆日期：10月20日时间：09:00请您签字同意您的孩子参加。 如果有家长自愿陪同上课，我们将不胜感激。

I hope I will get to wear one of those fashionable hi-vis jackets again,' he said. 'It was a very striking look.' 'Yes,' agreed Mum. 'You did look handsome in it. They were lovely and bright, weren't they? I believe the word for that is "fluorescent".' 'Fluorescent!' said Dad. 'I love that word!' He handed the letter back to me. 'I can't wait for the trip!' he exclaimed. 'I just adore old castles. Do you think it will be haunted? I do hope so!' 'I don't know,' I replied. 'I'll have to ask Miss Cherry.'

他说：“我希望我能再次穿上那些时髦的引人注目的夹克。” “这是一个非常引人注目的表情。“是的，”妈妈同意道。 “你穿起来确实很帅。 它们又可爱又明亮，不是吗？ 我想这个词应该是“荧光”“荧光!爸爸说。 “我喜欢这个词！”他把信还给了我。 “我等不及这次旅行了！”他叫道。 “我就是喜欢古老的城堡。 你觉得会闹鬼吗？ 我希望如此！“我不知道，”我回答。 “我得问问樱桃小姐。”
