4 Paint

CHAPTER 4 PAINT Lola jumped up. Oh no. "We should head over to Kari's party soon," Dad said. "I'll just put the paint back in the shed." "Gah!" cried Lola.

第四章 画画 萝拉一下子跳了起来。 哦，糟了。 “我们得快点去卡丽的派对啦，”爸爸说。 “我先把颜料放回小棚子就走。” “哎呀！”萝拉叫出了声。

There was no time for Spot to finish cleaning her. She needed Emma's dress right now. What was she going to do? Lola's eyes landed on the paint tins Dad was carrying. Dad had been cleaning up the living room all morning. The walls were spotless, and painting them had taken Dad hardly any time at all...

根本来不及等小斑点把她舔干净了。 她现在就得拿到艾玛的裙子。 她该怎么办才好呀？ 萝拉的目光落在了爸爸手里拎着的颜料罐上。 爸爸一整个上午都在收拾客厅。 墙壁擦得干干净净，刷这些墙爸爸根本没花多少时间……

"That's it!" whispered Lola. "What's it?" said Dad. "Wait here, please!" said Lola, and she started running towards the house. If she used blue paint to cover the messy bits on her blue dress, it would look much tidier. Just like Dad's wall!

“有办法了！”萝拉小声说。 “什么办法呀？”爸爸问。 “请您在这儿等我一下！” 萝拉说完，就朝着房子跑了过去。 要是她用蓝色颜料盖住蓝裙子上的脏印子，裙子看起来就会整齐多啦。 就跟爸爸刷的墙一样！

Inside, Lola went straight to the craft cupboard. As she reached for the paint, a glitter pot fell down. "Whoops!" said Lola. "Sorry, Corn!"

进了屋，萝拉径直走到手工储物柜前。 她伸手去拿颜料的时候，一罐亮片掉了下来。 “哎哟！”萝拉说。 “对不起，科恩！”

Lola dipped her paintbrush in the blue paint, then brushed it across her dress. Emma was going to be so impressed! She might even let Lola keep her pink dress! But when Lola looked down, the yellow paint on her dress was turning green...

萝拉把画笔蘸进蓝色颜料里，接着刷在了自己的裙子上。 艾玛看到了肯定会特别惊喜的！ 她说不定还会让萝拉留下她的粉色裙子呢！ 可等萝拉低头一看，裙子上的黄颜料居然变绿了……

Lola picked up the paint bottle. It definitely looked blue. "It's magic paint," Lola whispered. Lola opened the cupboard again. If the blue paint was actually green, then one of the other colours had to be blue.

萝拉拿起颜料瓶。 它看着明明就是蓝色的呀。 “这是魔法颜料。”萝拉小声嘟囔。 萝拉又把储物柜打开了。 要是蓝色颜料其实是绿色的，那其他颜色里肯定有一个是蓝色的。
