A SUMMERTIME MYSTERY Guid Blyton A WISHING-CHAIR ADVENTURE

夏天的神秘故事：吉德·布莱顿的如意椅冒险

CHAPTER ONE THE DISAPPEARING ISLAND It happened once that the children and Binky had a most unpleasant adventure, and it was all Mollie's fault. The wishing-chair grew its wings one bright sunny morning just as the three of them were planning a game of pirates. Mollie saw the red wings growing from the legs of the chair and cried out in delight. 'Look! The chair's off again! Let's get in and have an adventure!' They all crowded into it, and in a trice the chair was off through the door and into the air. It was such fun, for the day was clear and sunny, and the children could see for miles.

一消失的岛屿有一次，孩子们和宾基经历了一场非常不愉快的冒险，这都是莫丽的错。 在一个阳光明媚的早晨，许愿椅长出了翅膀，就在他们三个计划玩海盗游戏的时候。 莫丽看到椅子腿上长出了红色的翅膀，高兴地叫了起来。 “看!椅子又开了！我们进去冒险吧！”他们都挤了进去，一眨眼，椅子就从门里飞到空中去了。 这真是太有趣了，因为天气晴朗，阳光明媚，孩子们可以看到几英里远的地方。

The chair flew on and on, and came to the towers and spires of Fairyland. They glittered in the sun and Peter wanted to go down and visit the Prince and Princess they had once rescued. But the chair still flew on. It flew over the Land of Gnomes, and over the Land of Toadstools, and at last came to a bright blue sea. 'Hallo, hallo!' said Binky, peering over the edge of the chair. 'I've never been as far as this before. I don't know if we ought to fly over the sea. The chair might get tired- and then what would happen to us if we all came down in the sea!'

椅子飞啊飞啊，飞到了仙境的塔尖上。 它们在阳光下闪闪发光，彼得想下去看看他们曾经救过的王子和公主。 但椅子还是飞了起来。 它飞过了地精国，又飞过了毒菌国，最后来到了一片湛蓝的大海。 “喂,喂!宾基说，从椅子的边缘往外看。 “我以前从未到过这么远的地方。 我不知道我们是否应该飞越海面。 椅子可能会累的——如果我们都掉到海里去，那我们会怎么样呢？”

'We shan't do that!' said Mollie, pointing to a blue island far away on the horizon. 'I think the chair is making for that land over there.' The chair flew steadily towards it, and the children saw that the land they had seen in the distance was a small and beautiful island. It was packed with flowers, and the sound of bells came faintly up from the fields and hills. 'We mustn't go there,' said Binky suddenly.

“我们不能那样做！”莫丽指着远处地平线上的一座蓝色岛屿说。 “我觉得这把椅子很适合那边的土地。”椅子平稳地飞向它，孩子们看到他们在远处看到的陆地是一个美丽的小岛。 它开满了鲜花，从田野和山上隐约传来钟声。 “我们不能去那儿，”宾基突然说。
