Chapter 1

Chapter ONE It was a bright morning under the sea, and I was eating breakfast as quickly as possible! I wish my school was going on a sea-combing expedition today!' grumbled my stepsister, Princess Delphina, as she ate her Kelp Krunchies.

第一章这是海底一个晴朗的早晨，我正在尽快地吃早饭！我真希望我们学校今天能进行一次海梳探险！我同父异母的妹妹德尔菲娜公主一边吃着她的海带脆饼，一边嘟囔着。

'I'm sure you'll go sea-combing with your school too,' said my stepdad, King Auster. 'One day.' Mum married Auster recently, so now I spend half my time in the palace and half my time with my dad in a small pearly pink house on the other side of Scallop City. It was hard to adjust at first, but I'm starting to quite like it.

我的继父奥斯特国王说：“我相信你也会和你的学校一起出海的。” “有一天”。妈妈最近嫁给了奥斯特，所以现在我一半的时间在宫殿里，一半的时间和我爸爸在扇贝城另一边的一所珍珠粉色的小房子里。 一开始很难适应，但我开始喜欢上它了。

'I'm so excited!' I squealed. Remember you're going to Dad's house after school, said Mum. 'I've packed a bag for you— and one for Inkibelle and I also popped Starfish Plushie in too.'

“我太兴奋了！”我叫苦不迭。 记得放学后你要去爸爸家，妈妈说。 “我给你准备了一个包，也给英基贝利准备了一个，我还把海星毛绒玩具也放了进去。”

'Thanks, Mum!' Inkibelle is my pet octopus, and Starfish Plushie is my favourite cuddly toy. I swallowed the last of my Kelp Krunchies and whooshed up from my chair in a furry of bubbles. I grabbed my bag, gave Mum and Auster a hug, and swooshed out of the door.

“谢谢,妈妈!”Inkibelle是我的宠物章鱼，海星毛绒是我最喜欢的毛绒玩具。 我吞下最后一点海带脆脆饼，从椅子上嗖地站起来，浑身起了一团泡泡。 我抓起包，给了妈妈和奥斯特一个拥抱，然后嗖地冲出了门。
