7 Robert B.Gnome

7 Robert B. Gnome "There's a house around the corner with a nice garden," Violet explained. "I've seen Robert B. Gnome there." Sprite followed Violet down the street to a tiny white house. Many colorful flowers grew in the garden.

“在拐角处有一所带漂亮花园的房子，”维奥莱特解释说。 “我在那儿见过罗伯特·b·地精。” 雪碧跟着维奥莉特沿街走到一幢白色的小房子前。 花园里长着许多五颜六色的花。

A small statue stood in front of a rosebush. The statue looked just like the gnome Queen Mab had shown them. He had a red cap. A big smile. A white beard. "There's only one problem," Sprite said. "That gnome is not real! He's a statue." The gnome stood still. His hands were on his hips.

玫瑰花丛前立着一座小雕像。 这座雕像看起来就像麦布女王给他们看的那个地精。 他戴着一顶红帽子，笑容灿烂。 白胡子。“只有一个问题，”雪碧说。 “那个地精不是真的！”他是一座雕像。” 侏儒一动不动地站着。他双手叉腰。

Violet knelt down next to the statue. "Hic! It has to be him. It looks just like him." Sprite flew in front of the statue's face. "Are you Robert B. Gnome?" "Achoo!" Violet jumped back. "Did that statue just sneeze?" she asked.

维奥莱特跪在雕像旁边。 “嗝!一定是他。看起来就像他。” 雪碧飞到雕像面前。 “你是罗伯特·b·地精吗？”“啊嚏!”维奥莱特跳了回去。 “那座雕像刚刚打喷嚏了吗？”她问。

"Achoo!" The little man chuckled. He raised both arms and scratched his nose. "Those wings of yours sure are ticklish," he said in a jolly voice. "Robert B. Gnome!" Violet said. "I knew it was you!" The gnome grinned. "That's me! I am usually careful to stay still in front of humans. But then I saw you talking to this little fellow here."

“啊嚏!”小个子男人咯咯地笑了。 他抬起双臂，搔了搔鼻子。 “你的翅膀真痒。”他快活地说。 “罗伯特·b·地精！”紫说。 “我就知道是你！”侏儒咧嘴一笑。 “这是我!在人类面前，我通常会小心地保持不动。 但后来我看到你在和这个小家伙说话。”

"I'm Sprite," Sprite said. "I'm a Royal Pixie Tricker." "How can I help you?" the gnome asked. Violet and Sprite told the gnome about Bogey Bill and Buttercup. Robert B. Gnome stroked his beard. "That Bogey Bill," he said, shaking his head. "He and I grew up together. I knew that goblin when he couldn't even scare a grasshopper."

“我是雪碧，”雪碧说。 “我是一名皇家精灵魔术师。” “我能帮你什么忙吗？”侏儒问。 紫罗兰和雪碧把妖怪比尔和毛茛的事告诉了地精。 罗伯特·b·侏儒抚摸着他的胡子。 “那个妖怪比尔。”他摇着头说。 “他和我一起长大。 我知道那个妖精连蚱蜢都吓不到。”

"We know what we're supposed to do to trick him and Buttercup, Sprite said. "But we're not exactly sure how we trick them." "Hic! And we don't know where to find them, either," Violet said. "We saw Bogey Bill for a-hic-second. And we have never seen Buttercup." The gnome stroked his beard some more. "You've got two pixies to trick," he said. "That's double trouble." "You can say that again," Sprite said. "But it is also double good," Robert B. Gnome said. "You can use their powers against each other." "Hic!" Violet said. "How do we do that?" "Oh, you'll know," said the gnome. "When the time comes, you'll know."

“我们知道该怎么骗过他和毛茛。”雪碧说。 “但我们不确定如何欺骗它们。” “嗝!我们也不知道去哪里找他们，”维奥莱特说。 “我们看到了妖怪比尔。 我们从来没有见过金凤花。” 侏儒又摸了摸他的胡子。 “你有两个小妖精要骗。”他说。 “这是双重麻烦。”“你说得对，”雪碧说。 “但它也有双重好处，”罗伯特？ 侏儒说。“你可以用他们的力量来对付彼此。” “嗝!”紫说。“我们该怎么做？”“哦，你会知道的。”侏儒说。 “到时候你就知道了。”
