5 Cleaning

CHAPTER 5 CLEANiNG Lola ran into the lounge room. There was mess everywhere. Emma was still reading on the couch. "Emma," said Lola. "You need to look away."

第五章 大扫除 洛拉跑进了客厅。 到处都乱糟糟的。 艾玛还窝在沙发上看书。 “艾玛，”洛拉叫她。 “你把脸转过去别看呀。”

"What?" said Emma. "Why?" "You don't see fairies," Lola explained. "You just see their magic." "Fine." Emma sighed. She pulled a blanket up over her head and kept reading.

“啥？”艾玛问。 “为什么呀？” “你看不见仙子的，”洛拉解释道。 “你只能看见她们的魔法。” “好吧。” 艾玛叹了口气。 她拉过一条毯子蒙住头，接着看书。

"Did you say magic?" said Max, walking in. Lola shuffled him towards Emma's blanket, too. "Hey!" said Max. But Lola was too busy to hear him.

“你刚才说魔法？”麦克斯走进来问道。 洛拉也把他往艾玛盖的毯子那边推。 “嘿！”麦克斯叫道。 可洛拉太忙了，没听见他喊。

Lola pulled up her socks and cleaned the lounge room. She cleaned the hallway. She cleaned Mum and Dad's bedroom. She cleaned the backyard.

洛拉撸起袖子把客厅打扫干净。 她扫了走廊。 她擦了爸爸妈妈的卧室。 她还清理了后院。

Back in the lounge room, there was still a large lump in the middle of the couch. Lola cleaned that up, too. It was very heavy and very giggly, but she got it into the dining room. Finally, everything was clean. Lola flopped onto the couch.

回到客厅一看，沙发中间还鼓着好大一团。 洛拉把这团也收拾了。 这团东西沉得很，还笑个不停，不过她还是把它拖到了餐厅。 终于，所有地方都干干净净的了。 洛拉“啪嗒”一下瘫倒在沙发上。

Dad walked back inside. He stopped. He blinked. "Wow," he said. "There must have been a cleaning fairy here while I was gone." "There was," said Lola, popping up. Dad jumped. "Lola! I didn't even see you there. Are you behind this cleaning magic?" Lola nodded. She was too tired from all the cleaning to check her pockets, but she hoped the fairy cash would appear soon.

爸爸从外面回来了。 他停下脚步。 眨了眨眼睛。 “哇哦，”他说。 “我出门这会儿，肯定有个打扫仙子来过咱们家了。” “是呀。”洛拉突然从沙发上冒出头说。 爸爸吓了一跳。 “洛拉！ 我刚才都没看见你在这儿。 这打扫的魔法是你搞出来的吗？” 洛拉点点头。 打扫了一整天她太累了，都没顾得上掏口袋看看，不过她盼着仙子的钱能快点出现。
