Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE It was almost morning by the time we reached my house, but Mum, Dad, and Aunt Crystal had stayed up to wait for me. Mum jumped into the sleigh as soon as it landed and gave me a huge squeezy cuddle. 'How did it go?' she asked. 'Are you OK?'

第五章我们到家的时候已经快天亮了，但是妈妈、爸爸和克里斯托姨妈一直没睡，一直在等我。 雪橇一着陆，妈妈就跳上雪橇，紧紧地搂着我。 “怎么样？”她问。 “你还好吗？”

'I'm fine!' I told her, squeezing back. 'It was wonderful!' 'Well done,' said Mum. 'You've done a great job!' 'It's time for a sleep now though, said Dad, looking at his watch. 'It's my bedtime too!' He lifted me up and carried me into the house and up to my bed. I fell asleep before my head even hit the pillow and I slept all through the morning and all through lunch. When I woke it was the afternoon. 'What a dream I had!' I said to Pink Rabbit. Then I rubbed my eyes and blinked and remembered that it hadn't been a dream at all. We had gone on an

“我没事!”我告诉她，挤了回去。 “太棒了！”“干得好，”妈妈说。 “你做得很好！”“不过现在该睡觉了，”爸爸看了看表说。 “我也该睡觉了！”他把我抱起来，把我抱进屋里，抱到我的床上。 我头还没碰到枕头就睡着了，整个上午和午饭都在睡觉。 当我醒来时已经是下午了。 “我做了一个怎样的梦啊！”我对粉红兔说。 然后我揉了揉眼睛，眨了眨眼睛，想起这根本不是梦。 我们一起去了

adventure to the Land of Ice and Snow! When I got up and looked in the mirror there was a snowflake on my cheek in exactly the place where the Snow Queen had kissed me. 'It will fade over time,' said Aunt Crystal, when I showed it to her after bounding into the kitchen for a snack. 'But it's pretty while it lasts.'

去冰雪之国探险！当我起床照镜子的时候，我的脸颊上有一片雪花，就在白雪女王吻过我的地方。 “久而久之，它就会褪色的，”克里斯托姨妈说，当时我跑进厨房吃点心，把它拿给她看。 “但只要能持续，就很漂亮。”

'The snow is still there!' I said, looking out of the window at our white garden. 'Your magic fairy snow!' 'Not my fairy snow anymore,' said Aunt Crystal and pointed beyond the garden to the houses behind, which were now covered in snow too. I gazed up at the sky and saw huge white flakes spinning down towards us.

“雪还在那儿！”我看着窗外白色的花园说。 “你的神奇仙女雪！”“不再是我的仙女雪了。”克里斯托姨妈说着，指着花园后面的房子，它们现在也被雪覆盖了。 我抬头望着天空，看到巨大的白色雪花向我们盘旋而下。

'It's snowing for real!' said Mum. 'It started while you were asleep.' I gobbled down a peanut-butter sandwich and then called Zoe, Sashi, Samantha, Dominic, Jasper, and Bruno. I hesitated for a moment and then called Oliver too. 'How was your party?' I asked him.

“真的在下雪！”妈妈说。 “是在你睡着的时候开始的。”我狼吞虎咽地吃了一个花生酱三明治，然后给佐伊、萨西、萨曼莎、多米尼克、贾斯珀和布鲁诺打电话。 我犹豫了一会儿，然后也叫了奥利弗。 “你的聚会怎么样？”我问他。

'Great, thanks,' said Oliver. 'I've saved you some cake and a balloon.' 'Really?' I said. 'That's so nice— thank you!' No problem, said Oliver. 'By the way, it's snowing! Do you want to come and play?' 'That's what I was going to ask you!' I said. Zoe was first to arrive and we ran out into the garden together, starting to roll balls to make snowmen. I secretly hoped, just a tiny bit, that they would come to life again like yesterday. But deep down I

“太好了，谢谢。”奥利弗说。 “我给你留了一些蛋糕和一个气球。“真的吗?”我说。 “太好了——谢谢你！”“没问题，”奥利弗说。 “对了，下雪了！”你想过来玩吗？“这正是我要问你的！”我说。 佐伊是第一个到的，我们一起跑到花园里，开始滚球堆雪人。 我暗自希望，哪怕是一点点，他们能像昨天一样活过来。 但在内心深处
