6 Fairy Bait

6 Fairy Bait After school, Violet changed into a clean shirt. Then the three Pixie Trickers met in Violet's room. "Sprite, we need to trick Fixit, fast!" she cried. Sprite flew up to her face. "You are as angry as that elf!" he said. Violet tried to calm down. Being angry was no fun.

放学后，维奥莱特换了件干净的衬衫。 然后三个小妖精在维奥莱特的房间里碰面。 “雪碧，我们得骗过菲克特，快！” 雪碧飞到她的脸上。 “你和那个小精灵一样生气！” 维奥莱特试图冷静下来。 生气一点也不好玩。

"To trick Fixit, we have to make him happy," she said. "But I have no idea how to do that, so I think we need to find out more about him first." "Good idea," Leon said. "Uh, how do we do that?" "I think we should find him and talk to him," Violet said. "He seemed to like talking to us."

“要骗过菲克特，我们得让他开心，”她说。 “但我不知道该怎么做，所以我认为我们需要先更多地了解他。” “好主意，”利昂说。“呃，我们该怎么做呢？”“我觉得我们应该找到他，跟他谈谈，”维奥莱特说。 “他似乎很喜欢和我们说话。”

"You mean complaining," Sprite said. "But you're right. We should find him." "Where do you think he is?" Leon asked. Violet thought. "He's a toymaker, right? Maybe he's at the toy store in town!" "Great!" Sprite said. He reached into his magic bag for some pixie dust. "We can go there now!" Violet looked at the clock. "It's almost time for dinner," she said. "We can't go running around now." Sprite landed on Violet's bed. Nobody talked for a little while. Then Sprite sprang up. "I've got it!" he said. "We can bring Fixit to us!" Sprite took out The Book of Tricks. He thumbed through the pages.

“你是说抱怨，”雪碧说。 “但你是对的。我们应该找到他。” “你认为他在哪儿？”利昂问道。 紫色的想法。“他是玩具制造商，对吧？” 也许他在镇上的玩具店！”“太好了!”精灵说。 他把手伸进他的魔法袋里拿出一些仙尘。 “我们现在就可以去了！”维奥莱特看了看钟。 “快到吃晚饭的时间了，”她说。 “我们现在不能到处乱跑。” 雪碧落在维奥莱特的床上。 一时间谁也没有说话。 然后雪碧出现了。“我找到了！”他说。 “我们可以把菲克特带来！”雪碧拿出了《魔术书》。 他翻着书页。

"Here it is!" Sprite said finally. "A fairy lure!" "What's a lure?" Leon asked. "It's like... bait," Sprite answered. "Like you would use to catch a fish." Sprite gave the book to Violet. She took a small magnifying glass from her bag of pixie- tricking tools. Then she looked at the page. "They're musical notes," Violet said. "I thought you said it was a fairy lure." "It is," Sprite said. "Pixies love music. We just play the notes on a flute. Then the pixie is lured right to us."

“在这儿！”雪碧最后说。 “一个仙女的诱饵！”“什么是诱饵？”利昂问道。 “这就像……“诱饵。”雪碧回答。 “就像你用来抓鱼一样。” 雪碧把书给了维奥莱特。 她从装着变小精灵工具的袋子里拿出一个小放大镜。 然后她看了看那一页。 “它们是音符，”维奥莱特说。 “我以为你说这是仙女的诱饵呢。” “是的，”雪碧说。小精灵喜欢音乐。 我们只是吹笛子上的音符。 然后小妖精就会被引诱过来。”

Sprite paused. "You have a flute, don't you?" Violet went to her closet. "I have this," she said. She took out a recorder, a kind of short plastic flute. "We play it in school." "That'll do!" Sprite said. "Now play! Play!" Excited, he flew in circles. Violet studied the musical notes. She thought she knew how to play them. Violet put the recorder to her lips. She put her fingers over the holes. And she blew. SQUEAK!

雪碧暂停。“你有长笛，是吗？”维奥莱特走向她的衣橱。 “我有这个，”她说。她拿出一个竖笛，一种短的塑料笛子。 “我们在学校里玩。”“够了!”精灵说。 “现在玩!玩!”他兴奋地绕着圈子飞。 维奥莱特研究了乐谱。 她以为自己知道怎么玩。 维奥莱特把录音机放到嘴边。 她用手指捂住那些洞。 她吹了起来。吱吱声!

Sprite covered his ears with his hands. "Maybe you should try again," he said. "No, please don't!" Leon teased. Violet frowned. "I just need practice." She played the notes one at a time, slowly. Sprite took his hands from his ears. "Not bad," he said. "Play it again." Violet played the tune again, a little faster. This time it sounded kind of pretty. "Again!" Sprite said. He did a little dance in the air. Violet played the tune again. Just as she played the last note, a fairy appeared. It wasn't Fixit! Violet stopped playing. They all stared at the fairy.

雪碧用手捂住耳朵。 “也许你应该再试一次，”他说。 “不，请不要！”莱昂嘲笑。 紫皱起了眉头。“我只是需要练习。” 她慢慢地一个音符一个音符地弹奏着。 雪碧把手从耳朵上移开。 “还不错，”他说。“再放一遍。” 维奥莱特又弹了一遍曲子，快了一点。 这一次听起来挺不错的。 “再一次!”精灵说。他在空中跳了一会儿舞。 维奥莱特又弹了一遍曲子。 就在她弹奏最后一个音符时，一位仙女出现了。 那不是Fixit！维奥莱特停止了演奏。 他们都盯着仙女。
