2. Bubble Trouble

Bubble Trouble "Thank you, little crab," Rachel said. She crouched down and stroked the top of the crab's shell. The crab waved one claw at her, then dived into the water. He sank to the sandy bottom and disappeared under some seaweed. Kirsty peered into the tide pool. "Can you see the Blue Fairy, Rachel?" she asked. Rachel shook her head.

“谢谢你，小螃蟹，”瑞秋说。 她蹲下来，抚摸着蟹壳的顶部。 螃蟹向她挥了挥一只爪子，然后跳进了水里。 他沉到沙底，消失在海藻下面。 柯斯蒂凝视着潮池。 “你看见蓝仙女了吗，雷切尔?”她问。 瑞秋摇了摇头。

Kirsty sighed, disappointed. "I can't, either." "Do you think Jack Frost's goblins found her first?" Rachel said. "I hope not!" Kirsty shuddered. "Those goblins will do anything to stop the Rainbow Fairies from getting back to Fairyland." Just then, Rachel and Kirsty heard a sweet voice singing a song. "With silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row . . ." "Oh!" Rachel gasped. "It's so pretty! Do you think it's the little crab?" Kirsty shook her head. "His voice was all gritty." "You're right," Rachel agreed. "This voice sounds tinkly — more like a fairy!" "I think the singing is coming from that seaweed," said Kirsty, pointing into the tide pool. Rachel peered into the water. She could see something unusual in the rippling seaweed. "Look!" she said. Just then, a huge bubble came bobbing out of the seaweed. It floated toward the surface of the pool. Rachel and Kirsty watched with wide eyes. There was a tiny girl inside the bubble! She waved at them and fluttered her rainbow-colored wings.

柯斯蒂失望地叹了口气。 “我也不能。”“你觉得是杰克·弗罗斯特的妖精先找到她的吗?”瑞秋说。 “我希望不会!”战栗。 “那些妖精会不惜一切代价阻止彩虹仙女回到仙境。” 就在这时，瑞秋和科斯蒂听到一个甜美的声音在唱歌。 “有银铃铛和贝壳，还有漂亮的女仆排成一排。 “哦!”瑞秋深吸一口气。“太漂亮了!”你认为是小螃蟹吗?”科斯蒂摇了摇头。 “他的声音很沙哑。” “你说得对，”瑞秋同意道。 “这个声音听起来叮当响——更像一个仙女!”“我想歌声是从海藻里发出来的，”科斯蒂指着潮汐池说。 瑞秋凝视着水里。 她能在波浪起伏的海藻中看到一些不寻常的东西。 “看!”她说。就在这时，一个巨大的泡泡从海藻中冒了出来。 它向池面漂去。 瑞秋和科斯蒂睁大眼睛看着。 泡泡里有个小女孩!她向他们挥手，拍打着她彩虹色的翅膀。

"Oh!" Kirsty gasped. "It's her! I think we've found Sky the Blue Fairy!" The fairy pressed her hands against the curved sides of the bubble. She wore a short, sparkly dress and knee-high boots the color of bluebells. Her earrings and headband were made of little stars.

“噢!”气喘吁吁地说。“是她的!我想我们找到蓝仙女天空了!”仙女把她的手按在泡泡的弯曲边缘上。 她穿着一件亮晶晶的短连衣裙和一双风信子色的及膝长靴。 她的耳环和发带都是小星星做的。

"Please help me!" Sky said. Her tiny voice sounded like bubbles popping. Suddenly, a cold breeze swept through Rachel's hair. A dark shadow fell across the tide pool. The glowing blue water turned gray. It was as if a cloud had covered the sun. Rachel looked up. The sun was still shining brightly overhead. "What's happening?" she cried.

“请帮帮我!”天空说。 她那细小的声音听起来就像泡泡在爆裂。 突然，一阵冷风吹过瑞秋的头发。 一个黑影落在潮池上。 炽热的蓝色海水变成了灰色。 好像有一片云遮住了太阳。 瑞秋抬起头来。太阳仍然在头顶上明亮地照耀着。 “出什么事了?”她叫道。

Kirsty heard a strange hissing sound. She glanced around in alarm. A layer of frost was creeping across the rocks toward them, covering the beach in a crisp, white blanket. "Jack Frost's goblins must be very close," Kirsty said, feeling worried. Inside her bubble, Sky shivered as ice began to cover the tide pool.

科斯蒂听到一种奇怪的嘶嘶声。 她惊恐地环顾四周。 一层霜正沿着岩石向他们爬来，给海滩盖上了一层清脆的白毯子。 “杰克·弗罗斯特的妖精一定离得很近。”柯斯蒂担心地说。 在她的泡泡里，当冰开始覆盖潮池时，天空颤抖着。

"Oh, no! She's going to be trapped," Kirsty cried. Sky's bubble had stopped bobbing in the water. Now it hung very still, frozen into the ice. Rachel and Kirsty could see that Sky looked very scared. "Poor Sky! We have to rescue her!" Rachel exclaimed. "But how can we melt all that ice?" "I know!" said Kirsty. "Why don't we look in our magic bags?" The Fairy Queen had given Rachel and Kirsty bags with very special gifts in them, to use for helping fairies in trouble.

“哦,不!她会被困住的。” 天空的泡泡已经停止了在水中的晃动。 现在它一动不动地挂在那里，冻在冰里。 瑞秋和科斯蒂看到斯凯看起来很害怕。 “可怜的天空!我们得去救她!”瑞秋叫道。 “但是我们怎样才能把所有的冰都融化呢?”“我知道!”柯斯蒂说。 “我们为什么不看看我们的魔法袋呢?”仙女女王给了瑞秋和科斯蒂一些袋子，里面装着非常特别的礼物，用来帮助陷入困境的仙女。
