Chapter 5

Chapter 5 When the music stopped, everyone froze in their best ballerina poses. Millie stood high on her tiptoes in the relevé position that she had practiced with Dolly earlier that week. And that's when she saw Sylvie! Granny's china doll was being dragged across the garden by Adam, her friend Samira's little brother.

第五章 音乐停下时，所有人都摆着自己最棒的芭蕾舞姿势僵在原地。 米莉踮着脚尖高高站着，摆出这周早些时候和多莉一起练习过的半脚尖立姿势。 就在这时，她看见了西尔维！ 奶奶的瓷娃娃正被亚当拽着在花园地上拖，亚当是她的朋友萨米拉的小弟弟。

Oh no, thought Millie. She remembered she'd been playing with Sylvie again this morning in the living room while Mom was busy getting the party ready. She had meant to put the doll safely back on the shelf in her bedroom, but she'd forgotten! Millie broke out of her pose and ran toward Sylvie, but then stopped. Mom always said she

哦，糟了，米莉心里想。 她想起今天早上妈妈忙着准备派对的时候，她还在客厅和西尔维玩来着。 她本来打算把娃娃放回自己卧室的架子上收好的，结果忘了！ 米莉立刻从姿势里动了起来，朝着西尔维跑去，可又突然停住了脚。 妈妈总说她

should share her toys, especially with younger children. It was the kind thing to do. Sylvie's neat bun began to unravel as Adam combed his fingers through her silky hair. Millie wrung her hands. She wanted to grab Sylvie from Adam, but she didn't want to upset him. Her stomach churned so hard she felt like she had to hold it in place. Millie had to find Mom. She would know what to do. Millie looked around the garden. It suddenly felt far too loud and far too full of people. Millie looked back at Adam, who was still gripping Sylvie much too tightly.

应该分享自己的玩具，尤其是和比自己小的小朋友分享。 这么做才是善良的。 亚当用手指梳着西尔维丝滑的头发，她梳得整整齐齐的圆发髻开始散开来。 米莉使劲拧着自己的手。 她想把西尔维从亚当手里抢回来，可又不想惹他难过。 她的胃翻搅得厉害，觉得自己得用手按着才行。 米莉得去找妈妈。 她肯定知道该怎么办。 米莉环顾了一下花园。 她突然觉得周围太吵了，人也多得过分。 米莉回头看向亚当，他还在特别用力地攥着西尔维。

Millie hurried across the lawn toward her mom, squeezing through the group of parents. But now Mom was busy pouring lemonade for everyone. Millie blinked hard as she felt tears in her eyes. She needed someone to help her. And then she remembered the four little bunnies, hiding under a table.

米莉急急忙忙穿过草坪朝妈妈跑去，从一群家长中间挤了过去。 可这会儿妈妈正忙着给大家倒柠檬汁呢。 米莉使劲眨了眨眼睛，感觉眼泪已经涌到了眼眶里。 她需要有人来帮帮她。 就在这时，她想起了那四只小兔子，它们正躲在一张桌子底下呢。
