7 No Work! Just Play!

7 No Work! Just Play! Violet had to think fast. If Brittany found out about Sprite, he wouldn't stay a secret. Brittany was in charge of the second-grade newspaper. She'd put Sprite on the front page! And Violet did not know what would happen if other people found out about Sprite. They might be afraid. They might put Sprite in a jar. Or in a zoo! So Violet grabbed Sprite and shoved him into the pocket of her hoodie.

7没有工作！只是玩!维奥莱特必须快速思考。 如果布列塔尼发现了雪碧的事，他就不会保密了。 布列塔尼负责二年级报纸。 她会把雪碧放在头版！维奥莱特不知道如果别人发现了雪碧会发生什么。 他们可能会害怕。他们可能会把雪碧放在罐子里。 或者在动物园里！所以维奥莱特抓起雪碧，把他塞进了她连帽衫的口袋里。

"Violet? What are you doing in the mall fountain?" Brittany asked again. "Hi, Brittany," Violet said. "I'm just, uh... uh..." "Going for a swim!" Sprite whispered. "Going for a swim!" Violet repeated, without thinking. "Ha ha," Brittany said. "Very funny, Violet." Violet blushed. "Just kidding," she said. "I, uh, dropped something in here." "Oh," Brittany said. She looked at her friend strangely. "You'd better get out of there. I think there are bugs in that fountain. I saw one flying near your head before."

“紫?你在商场的喷泉里干什么？”布列塔尼又问。 “嗨，布列塔尼，”维奥莱特说。 “我只是，呃……嗯…”“去游泳！”精灵小声说。 “去游泳！”维奥莱特不假思索地重复着。 “哈哈，”布列塔尼说。“很有趣，维奥莱特。” 紫色的脸红了。“开个玩笑，”她说。 “我，呃，掉了点东西在这里。” “哦，”布列塔尼说。她奇怪地看着她的朋友。 “你最好离开那里。 我觉得喷泉里有虫子。 我以前看见一只飞到你脑袋附近。”

Violet gasped. Brittany must have seen Sprite! But she thought he was a bug. "Bugs, right," Violet said. "Don't worry. I'll be fine." "I've got to go," Brittany said. "I've been waiting forever to get someone to help me in the shoe store. The workers are acting really weird today." Brittany went back to the shoe store across from the fountain. Violet crouched behind the fountain. She pulled Sprite from her pocket.

紫色的喘着粗气。布列塔尼一定见过雪碧！但她认为他是个虫子。 “虫子，对，”维奥莱特说。 “别担心。我会没事的。” “我得走了，”布列塔尼说。 “我一直在等着有人来鞋店帮我。 工人们今天表现得很奇怪。” 布列塔尼回到了喷泉对面的鞋店。 维奥莱特蹲在喷泉后面。 她从口袋里掏出雪碧。

Sprite frowned at Violet as he smoothed out his wings. "What did you do that for?" he asked. "It was very cramped in there." "I did it so no one would see you," Violet said. "We should try using the dust again. We have to find Pix." "I think he's here," Sprite said. He pointed to the shoe store. The workers weren't helping customers. They were playing catch with a shoe! Angry customers yelled at them. But the workers didn't care. They kept on playing.

雪碧皱着眉头看着维奥莱特，他把翅膀弄平了。 “你为什么这样做？”他问。 “那里非常拥挤。” “我这样做是为了没人看见你，”维奥莱特说。 “我们应该再次尝试使用灰尘。 我们必须找到皮克斯。”“我想他在这里。”雪碧说。 他指着鞋店。 工人们没有帮助顾客。 他们在玩用鞋子接球的游戏！愤怒的顾客对他们大吼大叫。 但是工人们并不在意。 他们继续玩。

"Pix must have tapped them on the head," Sprite said. "He's moving fast. Soon he will have everyone in town under his spell!" "We should look for him," Violet said. She stood up just as a woman's voice blared over the loudspeakers. "This is the mall manager," the woman said with a giggle. "The mall is closed! No work today! Just play!"

“一定是小碧敲了他们的头。”雪碧说。 “他动作很快。很快他就会把镇上的每个人都迷住了！”“我们应该去找他，”维奥莱特说。 她站了起来，扩音器里响起了一个女人的声音。 “我是商场经理，”女人咯咯笑着说。 “商场关门了！”今天没有工作！只是玩!”

"I think we're too late," Violet said. "Pix has already caused trouble! Everybody here wants to play instead of work."

“我想我们来得太晚了，”维奥莱特说。 “皮克斯已经制造了麻烦！”这里的每个人都想玩而不是工作。”
