The Land of SILLY SCHOOL

荒唐学校之乡

CHAPTER ONE Off to Dame Snap's School One day, a message came from Moon-Face. "I have heard from Saucepan. He says we must go up to Dame Snap's Land tomorrow, and meet his mother. If we go to the back door of Dame Snap's school, she will be there." So the next day, the four children set off.

第一章 出发去斯内普夫人的学校 有一天，月亮脸捎来了消息。 “我收到了平底锅的消息。 他说我们明天得去斯内普夫人的领地，见他的妈妈。 如果我们去斯内普夫人学校的后门，她会在那里等我们。” 于是第二天，四个孩子就出发了。

They went up the Faraway Tree, and called for Silky first. She was wearing a pretty party dress, and had washed her hair, which looked more like a golden mist than ever. "I'm just ready," she said, giving her hair a

他们爬上了远方树，先去叫了西尔琪。 她穿了一件漂亮的派对裙，还洗了头发，那头发看起来比往常更像一团金色的薄雾。 “我刚好准备好啦，”她一边说，一边最后

"Oh, you found your hat then?" said Silky. "Yes— it had fallen down the slippery-slip, said Moon-Face. "And when I went down there, I shot out of the trapdoor at the bottom, and there was my hat on my feet! So that was all right. Are we all ready?" "Yes," said Joe. "But for goodness" sake do look out for Dame Snap. I feel very nervous of her." "Saucepan will be looking out for us, don't worry, said Moon-Face. I expect he will be at the top of the ladder, waiting. We're sure to have a lovely meal. His mother is a wonderful cook."

“哎呀，原来你找到帽子啦？”西尔琪说。 “是呀——它掉进滑滑梯里了，”月亮脸说。 “我往滑梯下面走的时候，一下子从底部的活动门滑了出去，然后我的帽子就踩在我脚底下啦！ 所以问题就解决啦。 我们都准备好了吗？” “嗯，”乔说。 “不过拜托你一定要小心斯内普夫人。 我一想到她就紧张得很。” “平底锅会留意我们的，别担心，”月亮脸说。 我猜他肯定在梯子顶上等着我们呢。 我们肯定能吃到一顿超棒的饭。 他妈妈做饭可好吃啦。”
