Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR We made our way to the food stall, which smelled of hot dogs and burnt sugar. Mum got us a stick of candyfloss each. It tasted like clouds! 'Yum,' I said, biting into the fluff, which melted immediately on my tongue. 'You know what would make this

我们向食品摊走去，那里散发着热狗和烧焦糖的味道。 妈妈给我们每人买了一根棉花糖。 它尝起来像云！“好吃，”我说着，咬了一口松软的东西，它在我的舌头上立刻融化了。 “你知道这是怎么回事

candyfloss really exciting?' said Mum, waving her wand before anyone could say anything. 'If it changed flavour with every bite!'

棉花糖真的很刺激吗？妈妈说，没等别人开口，她就挥了挥魔杖。 如果每咬一口味道都变了

Sparkles rained down on us, and the next time I bit into my candyfloss I tasted cherry pie. 'Ooh, butterscotch!' said Mirabelle. 'Chocolate cake!' said Wilbur. 'Frogspawn,' said Dad wrinkling his nose. 'Oh,' said Mum, 'hang on.' She waved her wand again. 'Red juice!' said Dad. 'My favourite!' I stared up at the sky, which was beginning to darken, and at the fairy lights that were fizzing and spluttering all

火花如雨点般落在我们身上，下次我咬棉花糖时尝到了樱桃派的味道。 “哦,奶油糖果!米拉贝尔说。 “巧克力蛋糕!威伯说。 “蛙卵，”爸爸皱起鼻子说。 “哦，”妈妈说，“等一下。”她又挥动了一下魔杖。 “红汁!爸爸说。“我最喜欢的!”我抬头望着开始变暗的天空，望着闪烁着嘶嘶声和噼啪声的精灵灯

over the fairground. Some of the bulbs were broken. After all the magic we had already done, fixing the fairy lights wouldn't make much of a difference. Why shouldn't I help out a little bit too? 'Can I try and mend them?' I asked. 'Good idea,' said Dad. I closed my eyes tight and waved my wand above me, shooting a shower of sparks into the air. The broken lights began to twinkle and glow, and the fizzing and spluttering stopped.

在集市上。有些灯泡坏了。 在我们已经施展了那么多魔法之后，修理这些仙女灯也不会有太大的不同。 为什么我不能帮点忙呢？ “我能试着补一下吗？”我问。 “好主意，”爸爸说。我紧紧闭上眼睛，在头顶挥动魔杖，向空中射出一阵火花。 破碎的灯开始闪烁发光，嘶嘶声和溅射声停止了。

'Lovely, Isadora,' said Mum. Then I had another irresistible idea. I waved my wand again, and this time the lights changed shape. Now they were all star and moon and bat shaped. 'Ooh, pretty!' said Mirabelle. I felt my face glow pink with pride. 'I think we should go on that spinny thing next,' said Wilbur, pointing towards a fast-looking ride which almost looked like a spider. There was a car at the end of each arm and it whizzed round and round like a very fast roundabout.

“太好了，伊莎多拉，”妈妈说。 然后我又有了一个不可抗拒的想法。 我又挥了一挥魔杖，这次灯光改变了形状。 现在它们都是星星、月亮和蝙蝠的形状。 “哦,漂亮!米拉贝尔说。 我感到我的脸因骄傲而泛红。 “我想接下来我们应该坐那个旋转的东西，”威伯指着一辆看起来快得几乎像蜘蛛的马车说。 每条手臂的末端都有一辆汽车，它像一个非常快速的环形交叉路口一样旋转着。

'Umm... Pink Rabbit doesn't want to try that ride, so I'm going to stay here with him,' I said. 'Me too,' said Mum.

“嗯…“粉红兔不想试那趟车，所以我要留在这里陪它。”我说。 “我也是，”妈妈说。
