Chapter 3

Chapter THREE 'Wow!' said Snow Boy when we finally got up to the top of the tallest turret where my bedroom is. 'We're so high up!' 'We can see the whole town from here,' I said, pointing out of the window. I showed Snow Boy some of my favourite things. I showed him my doll's house and my magic mermaid necklace,

第三章哇！当我们终于登上我卧室所在的最高的塔楼时，雪童说。 “我们飞得这么高！”“从这里我们可以看到整个城镇，”我指着窗外说。 我给雪男孩看了一些我最喜欢的东西。 我给他看了我的娃娃屋和美人鱼魔法项链，

given to me by a real mermaid, and my star diamond tiara, given to me by a real ballet dancer. 'It's so sparkly,' said Snow Boy, putting the tiara on his head and twirling around. 'Like ice!' 'It does sparkle like ice!' I said, watching him hold it up in the air. He put it down again and then moved over to my bookcase. 'What are these things?' he asked. 'They look interesting.' 'They're books!' I told him, getting excited.

一个真正的美人鱼送给我的，我的星形钻石头饰，是一个真正的芭蕾舞演员送给我的。 “太闪亮了，”雪男孩说着，把头饰戴在头上，转了一圈。 “像冰!“它确实像冰一样闪闪发光！”我说，看着他把它举在空中。 他又把它放下，然后走到我的书架旁。 “这些是什么东西？”他问。 “它们看起来很有趣。“是书！”我兴奋地告诉他。

'They are full of stories and different worlds! Let me show you my favourites!' I knelt down and began to flick through some of my books, showing him the pictures and characters inside. 'This is such fun!' said Snow Boy. 'I want to read them all!'

“它们充满了故事和不同的世界！”让我给你看看我最喜欢的！”我跪下来，开始翻阅我的一些书，给他看里面的图画和人物。 “这太有趣了！”雪男孩说。 “我想把它们都读一遍！”

'That would take a long time,' I said. 'But we can try! Maybe we can act out some of the stories too, with Pink Rabbit and Snow Bunny!' I would love that, said Snow Boy happily. 'You have such good ideas. It's so much fun playing together!' I beamed at the compliment, feeling all glowy inside. I loved playing with Snow Boy too. I wanted him to stay forever! But then I noticed something that made me start to worry. When Snow Boy moved his hand to turn a page, little drops of water came flying off him and little drips and puddles were beginning to appear all over my books and the floor.

“那要花很长时间，”我说。 “但我们可以试试！”也许我们可以和粉红兔和雪兔一起表演一些故事！”我很乐意，雪男孩高兴地说。 “你有这么好的主意。 在一起玩太有趣了！”听到这句恭维话，我喜笑颜开，心里暖洋洋的。 我也喜欢和雪男孩一起玩。 我想让他永远留在这里！但后来我注意到一些让我开始担心的事情。 当雪男孩移动他的手翻页时，小水滴从他身上飞了出来，小水滴和水坑开始出现在我的书和地板上。

'Oh dear,' I said. 'Snow Boy, I think you're melting!' 'Melting?' said Snow Boy. He looked confused. 'Hang on,' I said, reaching for my wand, which was sitting on my bedside table. 'Let me try and freeze you again.' But when I waved my wand nothing happened. I'm not sure my wand has snow magic in it,' I said. Maybe we should go back outside again.' Snow Boy looked disappointed. 'Can't we just stay in here a little longer?' he begged. 'I want to finish looking at this book.'

“哦，天哪，”我说。“雪孩，我觉得你要融化了！”“融化吗?雪男孩说。 他看起来很困惑。“等一下。”我说，伸手去拿放在床头柜上的魔杖。 “让我再试着把你冻住。”但当我挥动魔杖时，什么也没发生。 “我不确定我的魔杖里有没有雪魔法。”我说。 也许我们应该再到外面去。”雪男孩看起来很失望。 “我们不能在这里多呆一会儿吗？”他恳求道。 “我想把这本书看完。”

'Why don't we take it outside?' I suggested. But Snow Boy had already started turning the pages and was busy stroking the illustrations, making them all wet. When he finished he jumped up and ran over to my wardrobe. He flung the doors open, threw off his cape and started trying on all my clothes.

“我们为什么不在外面谈呢？”我建议。 可是雪孩已经开始翻动书页，忙着抚摸着插图，把它们都弄湿了。 当他完成后，他跳起来，跑到我的衣柜。 他猛地把门打开，脱下斗篷，开始试我所有的衣服。
