Chapter 6

CHAPTER SIX GREAT AUNT QUICK FINGERS They followed Binky down the road and along a lane. Soon he came to his Great- Aunt's cottage. It was very snug and small. To Mollie's enormous delight, five or six little brown dogs, rather like spaniels were flying about the garden on small white wings. They barked loudly and flew to the three of them.

第六章灵巧的姨妈他们跟着宾基沿着大路和一条小巷走。 不久，他来到了姑母的小屋。 它是非常舒适和小。 让莫丽非常高兴的是，五六只棕色的小狗，很像西班牙猎犬，振着白色的小翅膀在花园里飞来飞去。 它们大声地吠着，飞向他们三个。

'Now, now- these are friends of mine,' said Binky, and patted the nearest dog, which was flying round his head. It was strange to have the little dogs sailing about the air like gulls! One flew up to Mollie and rested its front paws on her shoulder. She laughed, and the dog licked her face. Then off it flew again, and chased after a sparrow, barking madly.

“好了，好了——这些是我的朋友，”宾基说着，拍了拍离他最近的那条绕着他脑袋飞的狗。 那些小狗像海鸥一样在空中飞来飞去，真奇怪！一只飞到莫丽身边，把前爪搭在她的肩膀上。 她笑了，狗舔了舔她的脸。 然后它又飞走了，追赶一只麻雀，疯狂地叫着。

Great-Aunt Quick- Fingers came to the door, looking surprised. 'Why, Binky- back again so soon!' she said. 'What's happened?' Binky told her. 'So you see, Great- Aunt, now that the poor chair has lost all its wings, I'm afraid that the Growing Ointment you gave me won't be enough,' said Binky. 'I'm so sorry.' 'Well, well- it takes a very clever person to see through the Slippery ways,' said his Great- Aunt. 'You'd better come in and have tea now you're all here!'

“快手”姨婆走到门口，一脸惊讶。 “嘿，宾奇——这么快就回来了！”她说。 “发生了什么事?”Binky告诉她了。 “所以你看，姑母，现在这把可怜的椅子失去了所有的翅膀，我担心你给我的生长药膏是不够的。” “我很抱歉。“好吧，好吧——只有非常聪明的人才能看穿这些滑溜溜的道路。”他的姑母说。 “你们都来了，最好进来喝茶吧！”

The children put down the wishing-chair and Great-Aunt Quick-Fingers got the little treacle tarts out of the oven. 'There you are,' she said. 'Get your fingers nice and sticky with those! I'll go and make some more Growing Ointment for you. It won't take long.'

孩子们放下许愿椅，快手姨婆把小糖浆挞从烤箱里拿出来。 “给你，”她说。 “用它把你的手指弄得又好又粘！”我去给您再弄些生长软膏。 不会花太长时间的。”

She disappeared, and the children sat and munched the lovely treacle tarts. Just at that moment she came back, with a fairly large jar. She handed it to Binky. 'There you are. Use that and see what happens. But remember, you can only use it once on anything. The spell doesn't act twice. It's no good trying to use the ointment another time on the chair, to make it grow wings, because it won't be any use.'

她消失了，孩子们坐在那里大嚼着可爱的糖浆挞。 就在这时，她回来了，手里拿着一个相当大的罐子。 她把它递给了Binky。“你在这儿。 用它看看会发生什么。 但是记住，你只能在任何东西上使用一次。 咒语不会起第二次作用。 再在椅子上涂一次药膏，让它长出翅膀，是没有用的，因为它不会有任何用处。”
