Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE A Song to the Rescue "Now, into bed you get, and nothing but bread and water for you all day long. I will not have rudeness in my school!" She shut the door and locked it. Moon- Face looked at the others in dismay. "I'm sorry I made her do this," he said. "Very sorry. But really, she did make me feel so angry. Do you think we'd better go to bed? She might punish us if we don't."

第五章 救人的歌 “好了，你们都上床去，今天一整天，除了面包和水，什么都不许吃。” 我的学校里绝对容不下没规矩的孩子！” 她关上门，还锁了起来。 月亮脸 沮丧地看向其他小伙伴。 “对不起，是我害她这么做的。”他说。 “真的非常抱歉。 可说实话，她真的把我气得不行。 你们觉得我们最好乖乖上床吗？ 要是我们不听话，她说不定还会惩罚我们的。”

Connie leapt into bed at once, fully dressed. She wasn't going to risk Dame Snap coming back and punishing her! The others did the same. They drew the quilts up to their chins and lay there gloomily. This was a horrid adventure- just when they had looked forward so much to coming out to the birthday party.

康妮衣服都没脱，一下就蹦到了床上。 她可不想冒险，等斯内普夫人回来罚自己！ 其他人也都跟着照做。 他们把被子拉到下巴那儿，闷闷不乐地躺着。 这场冒险可太糟糕了——他们之前明明满心期待着来参加生日派对的。

"I wonder what Beth and Frannie are doing," said Moon-Face. Hard work, I suppose. I do think Saucepan might have warned us that his mother had gone. It's too bad." Just then there came the sound of a song floating up from outside.

“不知道贝丝和弗兰妮现在在干嘛呢。”月亮脸说。 估计在干重活吧，我猜。 我真觉得平底锅该提前提醒我们他妈妈出门了的。 这也太气人了。” 就在这时，外面飘来了一阵歌声。

"Two worms for a sparrow, Two slugs for a duck, Two snails for a blackbird, Two hens for a cluck!"

“两只虫子喂麻雀，两只蛞蝓喂鸭子，两只蜗牛喂黑鸟，两只母鸡咯咯叫！”

"Saucepan! It must be Saucepan!" cried everyone, and jumped out of bed and ran to the window. Outside, far below, stood Saucepan, and with him were Beth and Frannie, giggling.

“是平底锅！ 肯定是平底锅！” 大家都喊了起来，跳下床跑到窗边。 外面的楼下，站着平底锅，他身边还有贝丝和弗兰妮，两个人正咯咯笑呢。
