Ballet Bunnies The Lost Slipper

芭蕾小兔系列之丢失的舞鞋

Chapter 1 "I can't believe we're here!" Millie giggled with glee. Her ballet class from Miss Luisa's School of Dance was on a trip to the theater to see a ballet production of Cinderella.

第一章 “真不敢相信我们居然到这儿了！” 米莉开心地咯咯笑。 她所在的路易莎小姐舞蹈学校的芭蕾班，正在组织大家去剧院看芭蕾舞剧《灰姑娘》。

"It's exciting, isn't it?" Auntie Karen said, grinning at everyone. Millie's favorite aunt was one of the grown-up helpers on the trip. Millie looked up at Auntie Karen, whose long hair was pulled back to reveal sparkly diamond earrings. As the earrings twinkled, Millie couldn't help but be reminded of Cinderella all dressed up for the ball.

“是不是特别让人兴奋呀？” 凯伦姨妈笑着对大家说。 米莉最爱的姨妈是这次出行的成人帮手之一。 米莉抬头看向凯伦姨妈，姨妈的长发向后梳起，露出了闪闪的钻石耳环。 耳环一闪一闪的，米莉忍不住想起了盛装去参加舞会的灰姑娘。

The entrance to the theater filled with noise as more people gathered, ready for the show to start. Auntie Karen stepped back. Millie followed and carefully picked up her feet so that her new shoes wouldn't get scuffed and trampled by the crowd.

越来越多的人聚集过来，等着演出开始，剧院入口闹哄哄的。 凯伦姨妈往后退了退。 米莉跟着后退，小心翼翼地抬着脚，生怕新鞋被人群蹭脏、踩坏。

Millie giggled again as the light streaming in through the open doors caught on her shoes. Auntie Karen had given her a beautiful pair of sparkly shoes that looked exactly like Cinderella's glass slippers. Millie tippy-tapped her feet on the theater floor, and the shoes glittered on the deep red carpet. "They are just like the real glass slippers," Auntie Karen said, smiling down at Millie. Millie hugged her aunt tight. Cinderella was one of her favorite stories. It was the first book Auntie Karen had ever read to her. They read it almost every night when Auntie Karen stayed over.

敞开的大门外照进来的光线落在鞋子上，米莉又咯咯笑了起来。 凯伦姨妈送过她一双特别漂亮的闪钻鞋子，和灰姑娘的水晶鞋长得一模一样。 米莉在剧院的地板上轻轻踮脚踩了踩，鞋子在深红色的地毯上闪闪发光。 “它们就和真的水晶鞋一模一样呢。”凯伦姨妈低头看着米莉，笑着说。 米莉紧紧抱住了姨妈。 《灰姑娘》是她最喜欢的故事之一。 这是凯伦姨妈给她读的第一本书。 凯伦姨妈来家里住的时候，她们几乎每晚都会读这个故事。
