Chapter 7

Chapter 7 As the bunny commotion in the garden died down, Millie slid back under the table and into the bunnies" den. Fifi had gone to find Dolly, leaving Pod and Trixie alone in the den when Millie joined them. "Oh, Millie," Trixie said, as she snuggled against Millie's arm. "At least Sylvie is okay." "But she might not have been," Millie sobbed, her shoulders slumped forward. "And it would've been all my fault. Mom is always telling me to put her away, and I always forget."

第七章 花园里小兔子们的喧闹渐渐平息，米莉溜回桌子底下，钻进了小兔子们的小窝。 菲菲去找多莉了，米莉进来的时候，窝里只剩下波德和特里克茜。 “哦，米莉。”特里克茜一边说，一边依偎到米莉的胳膊上。 “至少西尔维没事。” “可她本来很可能出事的。”米莉抽泣着，肩膀耷拉下来。 “那全都会是我的错。 妈妈总叫我把她收起来，可我老是忘记。”

"Luckily, Dolly saved the day," Pod said. "But who knows what could've happened to Dolly!" Millie wept. "She could have been hurt trying to help me." "But she wasn't," Pod reassured her. "And by the looks of it, she had the time of her life running around your party." Millie brushed away her tears with her sleeve, but she couldn't get rid of the horrible, whirling feeling that was bubbling up from her tummy. She hung her head low. "I wish I'd never had a party." Pod gazed up at Millie, his eyes full of kindness. "I mean it," Millie said, trying to blink back more tears. "I could never have forgiven myself if something had happened to Dolly or Sylvie." Millie gently straightened Sylvie's pink ballet dress. She untied Sylvie's hair and combed her fingers through it before carefully twisting it into a bun. Then she pinned the little yellow satin flower behind Sylvie's ear. Trixie helped straighten

“幸好多莉救了场。”波德说。 “可谁知道多莉会遇上什么事啊！” 米莉哭了起来。 “她为了帮我，说不定会受伤的。” “可她没受伤呀。”波德安慰她。 “而且看那样子，她在你的派对上跑来跑去，玩得可开心了。” 米莉用袖子擦了擦眼泪，可肚子里翻涌上来的糟糕、慌乱的感觉怎么都散不去。 她低着头垂着脑袋。 “我真希望我根本没办这个派对。” 波德抬头看着米莉，眼睛里满是温柔。 “我是认真的。”米莉说着，努力眨着眼把更多眼泪憋回去。 “要是多莉或者西尔维出了什么事，我永远都不会原谅自己。” 米莉轻轻理了理西尔维的粉色芭蕾舞裙。 她解开西尔维的头发，用手指梳顺，再小心地拧成一个发髻。 然后她把那朵小小的黄色缎面花别在了西尔维的耳后。 特里克茜帮忙理着

Sylvie's slippers as Pod jumped onto Millie's shoulder and dabbed at her tear-stained cheeks with his paws. "I just wish everyone would go home now," Millie whispered. "The party is too loud, and there are too many people here. It's all too much." She looked around the den and at the warm lights and cushions the bunnies had placed in the soft grass. Under the table, away from the noise and close to Pod and Trixie, Millie felt safe. "I'm going to stay here until everyone goes home," she announced. "I'm not moving."

西尔维的拖鞋，这时波德跳到米莉肩膀上，用小爪子轻轻擦着她沾了泪痕的脸颊。 “我真希望大家现在都能回家。”米莉小声说。 “派对太吵了，这儿的人也太多了。 一切都糟透了。” 她环顾小窝，看着小兔子们铺在软草地上的暖灯和小垫子。 在桌子底下，远离喧闹，挨着波德和特里克茜，米莉觉得很安心。 “我要待在这儿，等所有人都走了再出去。”她宣布道。 “我才不要动呢。”
