Chapter 8 "Millie?" Dolly, Trixie, Fifi, and Pod hopped across the floor of the girls" bathroom, following the sounds of sobs. "I won't go back," Millie cried. "I won't." The four bunnies crawled under the door of the farthest bathroom stall, where they found Millie on the floor, hugging her knees as she cried.

第八章 “米莉？” 多莉、特里克茜、菲菲和波德循着啜泣声，蹦蹦跳跳地穿过女卫生间的地面。 “我不回去，”米莉哭着说。 “我就不。” 四只小兔子爬到最里面那间隔间的门底下，看见米莉正坐在地上，抱着膝盖哭。

"Oh, Millie," Fifi said. "That Amber was rotten to you." Dolly hopped up over Millie's foot and landed on her knees. She nuzzled her way under Millie's downturned head and squished her face into Millie's, gently licking away her tears. Millie dropped her chin down to her chest. "I'm just not good enough." "Bunny fluff," Fifi said. "Yes, you are."

“哦，米莉，”菲菲说。 “那个安布尔对你太坏了。” 多莉蹦到米莉的脚上，又跳到了她的膝盖上。 她把脑袋凑到米莉垂着的脸下面，小脸蛋贴在米莉的脸上，轻轻舔掉她的眼泪。 米莉把下巴埋到胸口。 “我就是不够好。” “胡说八道，”菲菲说。 “你才不是呢。

"I can't keep up with the others," Millie said, her voice small. Dolly jumped into Millie's hand. "But you don't have to, Millie. It's okay to go at your own pace," she said gently. "This is only your second lesson," Pod agreed. "Amber has been coming here since she was tiny—" "Maybe even tinier than me," Trixie piped up, getting a giggle out of Millie. "It's true," Dolly said with a kind smile. "You'll be dancing like the others with more lessons. Remember why you love dancing. Remember the cotton candy." Millie wiped away the tears on her face. She'd made up her mind. "You're right," she sniffed. "I do love dancing. But I would rather just keep dancing at home." Millie wrapped her arms around herself. "That way I don't have to deal with Amber." The bunnies looked at one another, their shoulders slumped and their wide eyes shiny with

“我跟不上其他人，”米莉小声说。 多莉跳进米莉的手心。 “可你不用非要跟上呀，米莉。 按你自己的节奏来就好，”她温柔地说。 “这才是你第二节课呀，”波德附和道。 “安布尔很小很小的时候就来这儿上课了——说不定那时候比我还小呢，”特里克茜突然插嘴，逗得米莉笑出了声。 “是真的呀，”多莉带着和善的微笑说。 “多上几节课，你就能跳得和其他人一样好啦。 想想你为什么喜欢跳舞呀。 想想棉花糖。” 米莉擦掉了脸上的眼泪。 她已经拿定了主意。 “你们说得对，”她抽了抽鼻子说。 “我确实喜欢跳舞。 可我更想只在家里跳舞。” 米莉抱住自己。 “这样我就不用应付安布尔了。” 小兔子们你看看我，我看看你，都耷拉着肩膀，大大的眼睛里亮晶晶的，满是

tears. "But we will miss you so much, Millie!" Fifi cried. Dolly ran out of the bathroom. "And I'll miss you too," Millie said. Her chest ached as though her heart was being pulled in half. She scooped up Fifi, Pod, and Trixie. She kissed each of them gently on the head and held them close. "Where's Dolly?" Millie asked, looking for the fourth bunny. "I can't go without saying

泪水。 “可我们会特别想你的，米莉！” 菲菲哭着说。 多莉跑出了卫生间。 “我也会想你们的，”米莉说。 她胸口疼得厉害，就好像心被撕成了两半。 她抱起菲菲、波德和特里克茜。 她轻轻吻了每只小兔子的脑袋，把它们紧紧抱在怀里。 “多莉去哪儿了？” 米莉一边问，一边找第四只小兔子。 “我不能不和她道

goodbye to her. I just can't!" Fifi, Pod, and Trixie hurried down, searching each stall for Dolly. "Dolly?" Fifi called out. "I'm here," Dolly said, reappearing. "Oh, Dolly!" Millie cried. "I'm so glad you came back." Dolly hopped over to Millie's open palm and nuzzled it reassuringly. She then carefully placed a tiny object into Millie's hand.

别就走。 我就是不能！” 菲菲、波德和特里克茜赶忙跳下来，挨个隔间找多莉。 “多莉？” 菲菲喊道。 “我在这儿呢，”多莉说着，又出现了。 “哦，多莉！” 米莉喊道。 “你回来了真好。” 多莉蹦到米莉摊开的手心里，蹭了蹭她的手安慰她。 接着她小心翼翼地把一个小小的东西放到米莉手里。
