Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE Games and Presents The party went on and on. The game of musical chairs was fun, for instead of somebody taking a chair away each time the music stopped, the chair took itself away, walked neatly off, and stood watching. Silky won that game. She was so quick and light on her feet. A big box of chocolates came flying down through the air to her,

第五章 游戏与礼物 派对一直热热闹闹地进行着。 抢椅子游戏好玩极了，因为每次音乐停下的时候，不用有人去拿走椅子，椅子会自己挪开，整整齐齐地走到一边，站着看热闹。 西尔奇赢了这场游戏。 她的脚步又轻快又敏捷。 一大盒巧克力从空中飞着落到了她手里，

when she sat down on the very last chair and pushed Moon-Face away! She was delighted. "Let's all have one!" she said, and opened the box at once. Whilst they were eating they saw a most astonishing sight.

刚才她坐到了最后一把椅子上，还把月亮脸挤开啦！ 她开心极了。 “我们大家都分一块吧！” 她说着，立刻就打开了盒子。 他们正吃着的时候，看到了一幅格外惊人的景象。

"Look!" said Moon-Face, almost swallowing his chocolate in astonishment. "What's this coming?" Everyone looked. It seemed like a lot of little brightly coloured men, running very upright. What do you suppose they were?

“快看！”月亮脸喊道，惊讶得差点把嘴里的巧克力整个吞下去。 “过来的那是什么呀？” 所有人都看了过去。 那看起来像是一群颜色鲜亮的小矮人，腰板挺得直直的跑得飞快。 你猜他们是什么呀？

"Birthday presents!" shouted Watzisname, jumping off his seat in delight. "Presents- running to us- ready to be unwrapped!"

“是生日礼物！” 沃茨伊斯内姆大喊着，开心得从座位上蹦了起来。 “礼物——朝我们跑过来啦——就等着我们拆开呢！”

Really, those presents were the greatest fun! They were like little gift-wrapped boxes on tiny legs, dodging away, trying not to be caught! Everyone ran after them, laughing and shouting.

天呀，这些礼物可太有意思了！ 它们就像长着小短腿的包装好的小礼盒，躲来躲去，不想被人抓住！ 所有人都追在它们后面跑，一边笑一边喊。

One by one the happy little boxes were caught, and then they were unwrapped and opened. My goodness, what special things there were inside!

这些快乐的小盒子一个接一个被抓住了，接着大家就把包装拆开，打开盒子。 我的天呀，里面的东西可都太特别啦！
