Chapter 4

CHAPTER FOUR HOME, WISHING-CHAIR, HOME! 'I think we'd better go,' Binky said in a low voice to Peter and Mollie. They darted out of the door and Mister Grim followed. But just outside the door he ran into a crowd of brownies that popped up from nowhere quite suddenly, and over he went! When he got up the children and Binky were nowhere to be seen.

第四章家，许愿椅，家！“我想我们还是走吧，”宾基低声对彼得和莫丽说。 他们冲出了门，格里姆先生跟在后面。 但就在门外，他撞上了一群突然从哪儿冒出来的巧克力蛋糕，他就过去了！当他起床时，孩子们和宾基已经不见了。

Binky and the others raced to find the wishing-chair. Where was the bush they had hidden it in? Ah, there it was! They ran to the bush- but, oh dear, the chair wasn't there! 'One of the brownies must have found it and taken it,' said Binky. Just then Winks ran up and pulled at his arm. 'I found your wishing-chair and hid it in the shed,' he said. 'I was afraid Mister Grim might see it if he walked round the garden. Come along- I'll show you where it is.' He took the three to an old broken-down shed. The roof had fallen in at one end. There were no windows to the shed, so it was very dark inside. Binky groped his way in- and immediately fell over the wishing-chair.

Binky和其他人跑去找许愿椅。 他们藏在哪里的灌木丛？ 啊，它在那儿！他们跑到灌木丛里——但是，天哪，椅子不在那儿！“一定是哪个布朗尼发现了，把它拿走了。” 就在这时，眨眼跑过来，拉了拉他的胳膊。 “我找到了你的许愿椅，把它藏在小屋里了，”他说。 “我怕格里姆先生在花园里转一圈会看到它。 来吧——我带你去。”他把三个孩子带到一间破旧的小屋。 屋顶的一端塌了下来。 小屋没有窗户，所以里面很黑。 宾基摸索着走了进去——马上就倒在许愿椅上。

The wings waved gently as they felt Binky's anxious hands. The chair creaked softly. Binky knew it was glad to have him again. 'Wishing-chair, we must go quickly,' said Binky, and he climbed on to the seat. 'Come on, Peter and Mollie- quickly, before Mister Grim comes!'

当它们摸到宾基焦急的手时，翅膀轻轻地摆动着。 椅子轻轻地吱吱作响。Binky知道它很高兴再次拥有它。 “许愿椅，我们得快点走了。”宾基说着，爬上了椅子。 “走吧，彼得和莫丽——快点，在格里姆先生来之前！”

'What about Winks? Aren't we going to take him, too?' said Mollie. 'Oh- would you really?' said Winks, in delight. 'You really are very kind. I hate this school. I've been trying to escape for ages.' He was just about to squeeze in the chair with the others when somebody appeared at the doorway. It was Mister Grim! 'So here you are!' he said, peering in. 'Fly out where the roof has fallen in, fly out there!' suddenly shouted Winks. 'The chair can just squeeze through it!' And the chair rose up into the air and flew to where the roof had fallen in! It got stuck half-way through, but Peter broke away a bit more roof and the chair suddenly shot through and out into the open air.

“眨眼怎么样？”我们不把他也带走吗？莫丽说。 “哦——你真的会吗？”wink高兴地说。 “你真是太好了。 我讨厌这所学校。我一直想逃走。”他正要和其他人一起挤到椅子上，这时有人出现在门口。 是格里姆先生！“原来你在这儿！”他说着，朝里面看了看。 “飞到屋顶塌下来的地方去，飞到那里去！”眨眼突然喊道。 “椅子刚好能挤过去！”椅子升到空中，飞到屋顶塌下来的地方！椅子在半途被卡住了，但彼得又挣脱了一点顶盖，椅子突然被打破，露出了外面的空气。

'Oh, poor Winks- we've left him there,' cried Mollie, almost in tears. 'Go on, chair, fly off with them!' shouted Winks from below in the shed. 'Don't mind me! Escape while you can.' The chair flew out of hearing. Binky and Peter were very silent. Mollie wiped her eyes with her hanky. 'We'll go back for him,' said Binky, taking Mollie's hand.

“噢，可怜的眨眼——我们把他丢在那儿了，”莫丽几乎要哭了。 “走吧，椅子，跟他们一起飞吧！”眨眼从下面的棚屋里喊道。 “别管我！”趁你还能逃的时候赶紧逃。”椅子飞得听不见了。 Binky和Peter很沉默。 莫丽用手帕擦了擦眼睛。 “我们回去找他，”宾基拉着莫丽的手说。

'And what about our toys, too?' said Mollie, with a sniff. 'It's dreadful to have to leave Rosebud behind, too.' 'And my engine,' said Peter, gloomily, 'and the skittles and soldiers.' 'We'll get them all back,' said Binky, comfortingly. 'You wait and see.' The chair took them back to the playroom. It gave a creaking sort of sigh and set itself down in its place. Its wings at once vanished. 'There! Its wings have gone already,' said Mollie, ready to cry again. 'So now we can't go and rescue Winks today.' Mother's voice was heard calling down the garden. 'Children! It's past tea-time- and you didn't come in to dinner either. Where are you?' 'Oh, dear- now we shall have to go,' said

“那我们的玩具怎么办？”莫丽哼了一声说。 “不得不把玫瑰蕾也留下，真是太可怕了。“还有我的火车头，”彼得沮丧地说，“还有那些彩虹糖和士兵。”“我们会把它们都找回来的。”宾基安慰地说。 你等着瞧吧。”椅子把他们带回了游戏室。 它发出一声嘎吱嘎吱的叹息，在原来的地方坐了下来。 它的翅膀立刻消失了。 “有!“它的翅膀已经没了，”莫丽说，又想哭了。 “所以我们今天不能去救眨眼了。”花园里传来了母亲的喊声。 “孩子!已经过了喝茶的时间，而且你也没有进来吃晚饭。 你在哪里？“哦，亲爱的——现在我们得走了，”他说
