1. The Secret Garden

该页暂无翻译

The Secret Garden "Oh!" Rachel Walker gasped in delight as she looked around her. "What a perfect place for a picnic!" "It's a secret garden," Kirsty Tate said, her eyes shining. The two girls were standing in a large garden. It looked as if nobody else had been there for a long, long time. Pink and white roses grew all around the tree trunks, filling the air with their sweet smell. White marble statues stood

秘密花园“哦!”瑞秋·沃克环顾四周，高兴得喘不过气来。 “这是一个野餐的好地方!”“这是一个秘密花园，”柯斯蒂·塔特说，她的眼睛闪闪发光。 两个女孩站在一个大花园里。 看上去好像已经很久很久没人来过了。 粉红色和白色的玫瑰在树干周围生长，空气中充满了芬芳。 白色大理石雕像

here and there, half hidden by green ivy. And right in the middle of the garden was a crumbling stone tower. "There was a castle here once called Moonspinner Castle," Mr. Walker said, walking up behind them. He was reading from his guidebook. "But now all that's left is the tower." Rachel and Kirsty stared up at the ruined tower. The yellow stones glowed warmly in the sunshine. They were spotted with soft, green moss. Near the top of the tower was a small, square window.

这里和那里，一半隐藏在绿色的常春藤。 在花园的正中央有一座摇摇欲坠的石塔。 “这里曾经有一座城堡，叫做月纺车城堡(Moonspinner castle)，”沃克走到他们身后说。 他正在读他的旅游指南。 “但现在只剩下那座塔了。” 雷切尔和科斯蒂抬头盯着那座毁坏了的塔。 黄色的石头在阳光下发出温暖的光芒。 它们身上长满了柔软的绿色苔藓。 靠近塔顶的地方有一扇方形的小窗户。

"It's just like Rapunzel's tower," Kirsty said. "I wonder if we can get up to the top somehow?" "Let's go see!" Rachel said eagerly. "I want to explore the whole garden. Can we, Mom?" "Go ahead." Mrs. Walker smiled. "Your dad and I will get the food ready." She opened the picnic basket. "But don't be too long, girls."

“这就像长发公主的塔，”科斯蒂说。 “不知道我们能不能想办法爬到山顶上去?”“我们去看看吧!”瑞秋急切地说。 “我想探索整个花园。 可以吗，妈妈?”“去吧。”沃克太太笑了。 “你爸爸和我去准备食物。” 她打开野餐篮子。 “姑娘们，不要待太久。”

Rachel and Kirsty rushed over to the door in the side of the tower. Kirsty tugged at the heavy iron handle. But the door was locked. Rachel was disappointed. "Oh, that's too bad," she said. Kirsty sighed. "Yes, I was hoping Fern the Green Fairy might be here." Rachel and Kirsty had a secret. During their vacation on Rainspell Island, they were helping to find the seven Rainbow Fairies. The fairies had been sent out of Fairyland by evil Jack Frost, and Fairyland had lost all its color without them. Fairyland would only be bright and beautiful when all seven fairies returned home again. "Fern," Rachel called in a low voice. "Are you here?" Here . . . Here . . . Here . . .

雷切尔和科斯蒂冲到塔楼一侧的门口。 柯斯蒂用力拉着沉重的铁把手。 但是门是锁着的。瑞秋很失望。 “哦，那太糟糕了，”她说。 斯蒂叹了口气。“是的，我希望绿仙女芬会在这里。” 瑞秋和科斯蒂有个秘密。 在雨魔岛度假期间，他们正在帮助寻找七位彩虹仙女。 仙女们被邪恶的杰克·弗罗斯特赶出了仙境，没有了他们，仙境失去了所有的色彩。 只有当七个仙女都回家时，仙境才会变得明亮美丽。 “芬，”瑞秋低声叫道。 “你在这儿吗?”这里…… 这里……这里……

Her words echoed off the stones. Rachel and Kirsty held their breath and waited. But they couldn't hear anything except leaves rustling in the breeze. "This is such a special place," Kirsty said. "It feels like there's magic close by." Then she gasped and pointed. "Rachel, look at the ivy!" Rachel stared. Glossy green leaves grew thickly on the wall, but in one place the stones were bare, in the shape of a perfect circle.

她的话在石头间回响。 雷切尔和科斯蒂屏住呼吸，等待着。 但是除了树叶在微风中沙沙作响之外，他们什么也听不见。 “这是一个非常特别的地方，”科斯蒂说。 “感觉身边就有魔法。” 然后她喘着气指了指。 “瑞秋，看那常春藤!”瑞秋盯着。 光滑的绿叶厚厚地长在墙上，但有一处石头是光秃秃的，形成了一个完美的圆圈。
