Ballet Bunnies Let's Dance

芭蕾小兔们，我们跳舞吧

Chapter 1 Miss Luisa's School of Dance was surprisingly noisy when Millie turned up for her ballet lesson. The usual buzz of students hurrying to lessons and the plinking of the piano in the nearby studio were drowned out today by overexcited dancers shouting to be heard. Millie squeezed through the crowd gathered in the hallway and headed for the studio ahead of her classmates. She checked that no one had followed her before she hurried inside and over to the curtained stage. She knew exactly who could

第一章 米莉来上芭蕾课的时候，路易莎小姐的舞蹈学校意外地吵哄哄的。 往常学生们赶着上课的嘈杂声，还有附近练功房里传来的叮咚钢琴声，今天全被兴奋过了头的舞者们大喊大叫的声音盖过了。 米莉挤过聚在走廊里的人群，赶在同学们前面朝练功房走去。 她先确认没人跟着自己，才快步走进去，直奔挂着幕布的舞台。 她清楚地知道有谁能

tell her what was going on at Miss Luisa's School of Dance.

告诉她路易莎小姐的舞蹈学校里到底发生了什么事。

"Millie!" Fifi squealed. Millie clambered onto the stage and scooped up the tiny bunny hopping toward her. The rest of the Ballet Bunnies—Dolly, Pod, and Trixie—were all sitting by an overturned teacup table, finishing their breakfast. "What's going on?" Millie asked, turning and pointing at the crowded hallway. "Isn't it thrilling?" Dolly cried. She pirouetted toward Millie. "There's going to be a gala

“米莉！” 菲菲尖声叫起来。 米莉爬上舞台，一把抱起朝她蹦过来的小小兔子。 其他芭蕾小兔——多莉、波德和特里克茜——都坐在一张翻倒的茶杯桌旁，正吃着早饭的尾巴。 “发生什么事啦？” 米莉一边问，一边转身指着挤满人的走廊。 “这是不是超棒呀？”多莉大声说。 她转着个单脚滑步旋朝向米莉靠过来。 “要办一场盛大的演出

performance!" Millie looked confused. True, in front of her were four talking bunnies—well, three talking bunnies, to be accurate. Trixie had balled herself up and was lying under the soft fabric of a discarded tutu. She was snoring gently. But it wasn't the talking bunnies that confused Millie. "What's a gala performance?" she asked. "Dolly!" Pod said, pulling on his long ears. "I thought we weren't going to say anything until Millie heard the news from Miss Luisa." "I don't care. I'm too excited!" Dolly danced in circles and then grabbed Pod's paw and spun him toward Millie. "The gala performance is only the biggest ballet show of the year!" she

啦！” 米莉看起来有点困惑。 确实，她面前站着四只会说话的兔子——哦，准确来说是三只会说话的兔子。 特里克茜把自己团成一团，正躺在一件被丢在一旁的 tutu 裙的软布料下面。 她正轻轻打着呼噜呢。 但让米莉困惑的可不是这些会说话的兔子。 “什么是盛大演出呀？” 她问。 “多莉！” 波德拉着自己的长耳朵说道。 “我们不是说好等米莉从路易莎小姐那里听到消息之前，什么都不说的吗？” “我不管啦。 我实在太兴奋了！” 多莉转着圈跳舞，接着抓住波德的爪子，把他转到米莉跟前。 “这场盛大演出可是一年里最最重要的芭蕾表演呀！” 她
