3 A Fairy in the Sink

3 A Fairy in the Sink? "A fairy? Really?" Violet asked. She and Leon rushed to the sink. Water swirled down the drain. There was no fairy in sight. "Very funny, Sprite," Leon said. Sprite flew in front of Leon's face.

3水池里的仙女？“一个仙女? 真的吗?”紫问道。她和李昂冲向水池。 水在排水管里打转。 眼前没有仙女。 “很有趣，雪碧，”李昂说。 雪碧飞到李昂面前。

"I wasn't being funny," he insisted. "I saw a fairy. It was a water sprite." "Maybe you saw Hinky Pink, Violet said. "He likes to make it rain. Maybe he likes leaky faucets, too." Sprite shook his head. "It was definitely a water sprite. I saw her!" "A water sprite?" Leon asked. "What's that?"

“我不是在开玩笑，”他坚持说。 “我看到了一个仙女。那是一个水精灵。” “也许你看见辛奇·粉红了，”维奥莱特说。 “他喜欢让天下雨。 也许他也喜欢漏水的水龙头。” 雪碧摇了摇头。“这绝对是一个水精灵。 我看见她了！”“水精灵？”利昂问道。 “那是什么?”

"Well, I'm an air sprite, Sprite explained. "I have wings and can fly. A water sprite lives in water. They can breathe underwater, like fish." "So where is this fish-fairy now?" Leon asked. "She went down the drain," Sprite said. "I know I saw her!" Sprite sank back down on the sink. He looked sad. Violet thought for a minute. "I believe you," she said. "It makes sense. We know that the escaped pixies like to cause trouble. That water sprite must be making our faucets leak."

“嗯，我是空中精灵。”雪碧解释道。 “我有翅膀，可以飞。 水精灵生活在水中。 它们可以像鱼一样在水下呼吸。” “那么这个鱼仙女现在在哪里？”利昂问道。 “她掉进了下水道，”雪碧说。 “我知道我看见她了！”雪碧又倒在水池上。 他看起来很伤心。维奥莱特想了一会儿。 “我相信你，”她说。 “这是有道理的。我们知道逃跑的小精灵喜欢制造麻烦。 一定是那个水精灵把我们的水龙头弄漏了。”

Sprite's eyes lit up. "Right! Right!" he shouted. "You mean like how Jolt messed with my video game?" Leon asked. "Yes" Violet said. "And how Pix made everyone want to play all the time." Now Leon looked interested. "Let's catch this tricky pixie!" "First, we need to check The Book of Tricks," Violet said. "Let's see if we can find a water sprite with a missing picture. Then we'll know if one has escaped." "Good idea!" Sprite said as he reached into his bag and took out a tiny book. He flipped through it. "Here's one! I know her. Her name is Aquamarina."

雪碧的眼睛亮了起来。“正确!对！”他喊道。 “你是说，就像Jolt破坏我的电子游戏那样？”利昂问道。 “是的，”维奥莱特说。“以及Pix如何让每个人都想一直玩。” 现在李昂看起来很感兴趣。 “让我们抓住这个狡猾的小精灵！”“首先，我们得查一下《魔法书》。”维奥莱特说。 “让我们看看能不能找到一个缺了照片的水精灵。 然后我们就知道有没有人逃出来了。” “好主意!”雪碧边说边把手伸进包里拿出一本小书。 他翻了翻。“这是一个!我认识她。 她的名字叫阿卡玛琳娜。”

Sprite read the poem aloud from the book When she is in the water, she has the upper hand. To trick Aquamarina, you must get her on dry land. "Awesome!" Leon said. "Now we know how to trick her. Let's go."

雪碧大声朗读了书中的这首诗，当她在水里时，她占了上风。 要骗过水族公主，你必须把她带到陆地上。 “棒极了!”利昂说。“现在我们知道怎么骗她了。 我们走吧。”

"We can't," Violet said. "We don't know where to look." Leon pointed to the drain. "Maybe she went down into the sewer. Sprite can use his magic pixie dust to bring us down there." Violet wrinkled her nose. "Yuck! I don't want to go down there. Besides, those water pipes go all over town. She could be anywhere by now." Sprite flew up next to Violet's face. "We need to find her soon," he said. "Aquamarina is one of the trickiest pixies I've ever met!"

“我们不能，”维奥莱特说。“我们不知道该去哪里找。” 李昂指着排水沟。 “也许她下到下水道去了。 雪碧可以用他的魔法仙尘把我们带下去。” 维奥莉特皱起鼻子。“啐!我不想去那里。 再说，那些水管遍布全城。 她现在可能在任何地方。” 雪碧飞到维奥莱特的脸旁边。 “我们需要尽快找到她，”他说。 “水族公主是我见过的最狡猾的小精灵之一！”
