Chapter 6

Chapter 6 "Can I go to my room, Mom?" Millie asked as she gobbled up the last of her meal. She hid some of the noodles and green beans in her pockets for Dolly. "I really want to practice what I learned today." Mom nodded and waved her out of the kitchen. Millie sprinted up to her bedroom to find that Dolly was no longer dancing around. Instead, the little bunny was sitting in front of the mirror and was covered from the tips of her ears to the bottom of her fluffy tail in Millie's hair bow clips.

第六章 “妈妈，我可以回房间吗？” 米莉一边问，一边狼吞虎咽地吃完了最后一口饭。 她偷偷把一些面条和青豆藏进口袋，要给多莉吃。 “我真的很想练习今天学到的动作。” 妈妈点点头，挥手让她离开厨房。 米莉飞快地冲上楼梯跑回卧室，却发现多莉不再到处蹦跳跳舞了。 相反，这只小兔子正坐在镜子前，从耳尖到毛茸茸的尾巴尖，别满了米莉的蝴蝶结发夹。

"What do you think?" Dolly asked. "Is it too much?" Millie giggled and removed three bows from Dolly's back and two from her tail. "That's better," she said, and Dolly gave a twirl. Millie found her old tea set. She placed the noodles and beans that she'd saved into one of the little cups and set it on the floor. She turned a small sugar bowl upside down as a seat for Dolly.

“你觉得怎么样？” 多莉问。 “是不是太花哨啦？” 米莉咯咯笑起来，从多莉背上取下三个蝴蝶结，又从她尾巴上取下两个。 “这样就好看啦。”她说道，多莉还转了个圈。 米莉找出了她的旧玩具茶具。 她把藏起来的面条和青豆放进一个小茶杯里，摆在地板上。 她把一个小糖碗倒扣过来，给多莉当座位。

"Stir-fried noodles," Dolly said between mouthfuls. "They're my favorite." Millie chuckled. "Mine too!" Dolly finished her food and hopped up onto Millie's bed. She twirled with a length of purple velvet ribbon that hung from the post of the bed. She wrapped herself in the soft fabric. "How does it feel when you dance, Millie?" the bunny asked. Millie sat down, leaned against the edge of her bed, and shut her eyes.

“炒面条耶，”多莉一边大口吃着一边说。 “这是我最爱吃的。” 米莉笑出了声。 “我也最爱吃！” 多莉吃完了食物，蹦跳着爬到了米莉的床上。 她抓着系在床柱上的一段紫色天鹅绒丝带转起圈来。 她把柔软的丝带裹在自己身上。 “米莉，你跳舞的时候是什么感觉呀？” 小兔子问道。 米莉坐下来，靠在床边，闭上了眼睛。

"It makes me feel happy," Millie said. "And when I jump, I feel like I'm flying through clouds of—" "Cotton candy?" Dolly finished. "Yes! That's it," Millie said. "Like I'm in a world of cotton candy, light and floaty and—" "Happy?" Dolly said. "Exactly!" "I feel the same way," Dolly said. She jumped down and landed in Millie's lap. "And there's no

“跳舞让我觉得很开心，”米莉说。 “我跳起来的时候，感觉自己像是在云里飞，那些云是——” “棉花糖做的？”多莉接话道。 “对呀！ 就是这种感觉，”米莉说。 “就好像我待在一个全是棉花糖的世界里，轻飘飘的，还——” “还很开心？”多莉说。 “完全正确！” “我也是这种感觉，”多莉说。 她跳下来，落到了米莉的腿上。 “而且没有任何

other feeling like it." Millie and Dolly danced around the room, practicing their pirouettes and pliés. Dolly helped Millie turn out her feet just like Miss Luisa had said to in class. Before they knew it, Mom came in to turn out the lights for bedtime. Dolly quickly jumped out of sight, reappearing only after Millie's mom had left the room. "I had so much fun dancing with you today," Millie said. She pulled the bedcovers over Dolly.

别的感觉能比得上它。” 米莉和多莉在房间里跳来跳去，练习足尖旋转和屈膝动作。 多莉帮米莉把脚向外打开，就像路易莎老师上课时说的那样。 还没等她们反应过来，妈妈就进来要关灯让她们睡觉了。 多莉立刻跳起来躲好，直到米莉的妈妈离开房间才又出来。 “今天和你一起跳舞我特别开心。”米莉说。 她把被子拉过来盖在多莉身上。
