6 Pixie Dust

6 Pixie Dust Sprite fluttered his wings. "First, we have to catch Pix," he said. "He is going to make a real mess of things." "What will he do?" Violet asked. "Pix loves to play," Sprite said. "He wants everyone to play with him. He taps you on the head. Then you're under his spell. You'll want to play with him all the time."

仙尘精灵扇动着翅膀。 “首先，我们得抓住皮克斯，”他说。 “他会把事情搞得一团糟的。” “他会怎么做？”紫问道。 “Pix喜欢玩，”雪碧说。 “他希望每个人都和他一起玩。 他轻拍你的头。那你就被他迷住了。 你会一直想和他一起玩的。”

"You mean you won't do homework? Or clean your room?" Violet asked. Sprite nodded. "You won't eat. You won't sleep. You'll just play and play." "That is bad," Violet said. Sprite flew back and forth nervously. "So let's find him! Take me to a place where kids like to have fun. That's probably where Pix will be." "I will," Violet said. "But not yet." Sprite rolled his eyes. "What is it now?" "I can't just leave my yard and walk all over town by myself," Violet said.

“你是说你不做家庭作业？” 或者打扫你的房间？”紫问道。 精灵点了点头。“你不吃东西。 你睡不着。你只会不停地玩。” “那太糟糕了，”维奥莱特说。 雪碧紧张地飞来飞去。 “那我们去找他吧！”带我去一个孩子们喜欢玩的地方。 Pix可能就在那里。” “我会的，”维奥莱特说。“但还不是时候。” 雪碧翻了个白眼。“现在是什么？”“我不能离开我的院子，一个人在镇上到处走，”维奥莱特说。

Sprite flew over to a window in the house. Inside, there was a boy with curly hair playing a video game. "Maybe he can come along and help us," Sprite said. "No way!" Violet said quickly. "That's my cousin Leon. He'd just spoil everything." "Well, it doesn't matter," Sprite said. "I think I have something that will help."

雪碧飞到房子的一扇窗户前。 里面有一个卷发男孩在玩电子游戏。 “也许他可以过来帮助我们，”雪碧说。 “不可能!”维奥莱特赶紧说。 “那是我的表弟里昂。他只会破坏一切。” “嗯，没关系，”雪碧说。 “我想我有办法能帮上忙。”

Sprite opened the tiny bag that hung around his waist. He pulled out a handful of glittering dust. Violet stepped back. "Are you going to trap me in a fairy ring with that?" she asked. Sprite laughed. "No," he said. "Pixie dust is good for lots of things, not just fairy rings." "Like what?" Violet asked. "I can sprinkle some on us. Then we can go anywhere we want in seconds," Sprite said. "Just like Pix did."

雪碧打开了挂在他腰上的小袋子。 他掏出一把闪闪发光的灰尘。 维奥莱特退后一步。“你是想用这个给我套上一个仙女戒指吗？”她问。 精灵笑了。“不，”他说。 “仙尘对很多东西都有好处，不仅仅是仙女戒指。” “像什么?”紫问道。 “我可以洒一些在我们身上。 然后我们可以在几秒钟内去任何我们想去的地方，”雪碧说。 “就像皮克斯那样。”

"Cool!" Violet said. "We can catch Pix fast if we do it that way. We'll be back before Aunt Anne misses me." "Right!" Sprite said. "So are you ready?" "I think so," Violet replied. "Does this stuff really work? I'm not going to disappear forever, am I?" "It works just fine!" Sprite promised. "Where should we go first?" "Well, Pix likes dodgeball. Maybe we can go to a place where kids play games like that," Violet said. "We can go to the ball—" Sprite didn't wait for Violet to finish. He quickly blew the pixie dust over both of them. At first, the dust just made Violet sneeze. Then she felt her body tingle like a million tiny feathers were tickling her skin.

“酷!”紫说。“如果我们这样做，我们可以很快抓住皮克斯。 我们会在安妮姨妈想念我之前回来的。” “没错!”精灵说。“那么你准备好了吗？”“我想是的，”维奥莱特回答。 “这些东西真的有用吗？” 我不会永远消失，对吧？”“它工作得很好！”雪碧承诺。 “我们应该先去哪里？”“嗯，皮克斯喜欢躲避球。 也许我们可以去一个孩子们玩这种游戏的地方，”维奥莱特说。 “我们可以去舞会——”雪碧没等维奥莱特说完。 他迅速地把仙尘吹到他们俩身上。 起初，灰尘只是让维奥莱特打了个喷嚏。 接着，她感到全身发麻，就像无数根细小的羽毛在挠她的皮肤。

The backyard disappeared. Violet saw sparkling white lights. Then the lights faded and the tingling stopped. Splash! Violet felt water sloshing in her shoes.

后院消失了。紫罗兰看到了闪闪发光的白光。 然后灯光暗了下来，刺痛也停止了。 飞溅!维奥莱特感到水在她的鞋子里晃动。
