5 No Hurry

5 慢慢来不着急

The firepit crackles as Blue and Mama finish their dinner. Mama wraps half of her shawl around Blue's shoulders. "Well," Mama says after Blue has told her about the Sandersons, and the Kishis, and the Periwinkles, and all their other deliveries. "You've had a full day." "We both have," says Gully. "Not to mention getting up so early to help with all the baking." "And the mise en place," says Blue, yawning. "Good thing the nights start getting longer now," says Gully. "We could both use the extra rest."

布鲁和妈妈吃完晚饭的时候，火堆里的木柴正噼啪作响。 妈妈把自己的披肩扯下一半，裹在布鲁的肩膀上。 布鲁把桑德森一家、岸木一家、滨螺一家，还有其他所有送货的人家的事都告诉妈妈之后，妈妈开口说：“哎呀呀。” “你今天可真是忙了满满一整天呀。” “我们俩都是呀。”格利说。 “更别说我们还起得那么早，帮忙做了所有烘焙的活儿呢。” “还有备料工作呀。”布鲁打着哈欠说。 “幸好现在夜晚开始变得越来越长啦。”格利说。 “我们俩都能多休息会儿啦。”

"There are lots of changes happening in Shellville," says Mama Moon. "And even here at home." "Where?" asks Blue. "Right here. You're growing up, Blue. And you're learning how to help people. That's what magic is all about." "Change is definitely in the air," Blue says. "I think that calls for a celebration," says Mama. "I'll go get the equinox cake and the leftover half-and-half cookies." But when Mama returns, no one is up for celebrating. Blue and Gully have both fallen asleep.

月亮妈妈说：“贝壳镇最近发生了好多变化呀。” “就连咱们家里也有变化哦。” “哪里有变化呀？”布鲁问。 “就在这儿呀。 布鲁，你正在慢慢长大呀。 你也在学着怎么帮助别人。 这就是魔法的真谛呀。” 布鲁说：“空气里真的到处都是变化的气息呢。” 妈妈说：“我觉得这么好的事，该好好庆祝一下才对。” “我去拿昼夜平分日的蛋糕，还有剩下的双拼曲奇。” 可是妈妈回来的时候，没人还有力气庆祝了。 布鲁和格利都已经睡着了。

"Oh, raisins," Mama says. "Can I still have cake?" asks Pearl. "Yes, Pearl, you can have a piece now. Then we can all celebrate the new season at breakfast tomorrow." She kisses the top of Blue's head. "When it comes to some changes," Mama whispers, "I'm in no hurry." In a village by the sea live a witch and a witch-to be. Change is happening, yes, it's true, in Shellville—and for me and you.

“哎呀呀，真是的。”妈妈忍不住笑着说。 “那我还能吃蛋糕吗？”珀尔问道。 “可以呀，珀尔，你现在就能吃一块。 等明天吃早饭的时候，我们大家再一起庆祝新季节到来呀。” 她轻轻吻了吻布鲁的头顶。 妈妈低声说：“有些变化呀，我可一点都不着急让它来得太快。” 在海边的一个小村子里，住着一位女巫和一个准小女巫。 变化正在发生呀，没错，是真的，在贝壳镇——也在你我身边呀。
