Chapter 5

Chapter 5 On the way home, Millie asked Mom if she could play in the park. It was still light out, and Mom wanted to catch up with her friends too. Millie and Mom sprinted all the way to the swings, pretending to be super-speedy race cars.

第五章 回家的路上，米莉问妈妈能不能去公园里玩一会儿。 外面天还亮着，妈妈也正好想和朋友们聊聊天。 米莉和妈妈一路往秋千那儿冲，假装自己是跑得飞快的赛车。

Mom spotted Mrs. Singh and they started chatting, so Millie headed over to the willow tree, where she knew the Ballet Bunnies would be rehearsing for their big show. Millie's encounter with Amber disappeared from her thoughts as soon as she saw Dolly

妈妈看到了辛格太太，俩人聊起天来，米莉就往柳树那边走，她知道芭蕾小兔们肯定在那儿为她们的大型演出排练呢。 一看到多莉，米莉和安珀的那次不愉快就全被她抛到脑后了。

pirouetting across the grass. The little bunny danced to the melody Fifi played on a tiny recorder she had crafted out of a matchstick. "Millie!" Pod called as she approached. "Watch my magic trick." Pod swung his little magician's cape around his body. He held it out in front of him so just his ears peeked over the top.

正在草地上踮着脚转圈圈。 菲菲用火柴棍做了个小小的竖笛，小兔子正跟着她吹的旋律跳舞呢。 “米莉！” 波德看到她走过来，开口喊道。 “看我变魔术哦。” 波德把他小小的魔术师披风往身上一甩。 他把披风举在身前，只有耳朵尖从披风上面露出来。

"Three, two, one…," he counted. The cape dropped. And Pod had completely disappeared! Millie gasped. Where was Pod? He reappeared and laughed when he noticed Millie's mouth hanging open in wonder. "How did you do that, Pod?" Millie asked. "It's supposed to be a secret," Pod said. His nose twitched as he beckoned Millie closer.

“三，二，一……”他数着数。 披风落下来了。 波德居然完全不见了！ 米莉惊讶得倒抽了一口气。 波德去哪儿了？ 看到米莉惊讶得大张着嘴，他才重新出现，还笑出了声。 “你是怎么做到的呀，波德？” 米莉问道。 “这本来是个秘密哦。”波德说。 他鼻子动了动，招呼米莉凑得更近一点。

"Don't tell anyone," he whispered. "But I run as quickly as I can before the cape drops so it looks like I vanish into thin air!" "That's such a great idea," Millie said, applauding Pod. Trixie, who had been dozing in a shady spot, hopped over to join them. Millie stroked Trixie's velvety fur. "What will you be doing for the talent show?" she asked the tiniest of the four bunnies. The sleepy bunny yawned. "My special skill is napping." Millie chuckled as Trixie squeezed herself into a teacup, and then onto a large fern frond, and then into a pencil case, showing that she could, in fact, sleep absolutely anywhere.

“别告诉别人哦。”他小声说。 “我是在披风落下来之前拼命跑开啦，这样看起来就像我凭空消失了一样！” “这个主意太棒啦！”米莉一边说，一边给波德鼓掌。 之前一直在阴凉地方打盹的特里克茜，蹦蹦跳跳地也凑了过来。 米莉摸了摸特里克茜天鹅绒一样软乎乎的毛。 “你准备在才艺表演上表演什么呀？” 她问四只小兔里最小的这只。 这只困乎乎的小兔子打了个哈欠。 “我的特长是睡觉呀。” 特里克茜先是钻进一个茶杯里，又爬到一片大蕨类植物的叶子上，再钻进一个铅笔盒里，展示自己真的在哪都能睡着，米莉看得笑出了声。
