Chapter 9

Chapter 9 "Oh, bunny fluff," Fifi said as Millie and Dolly joined them in the park. "You deserved that part, Millie," she said. "It's true," Dolly said. "You danced just as wonderfully as Will, so they could have easily picked you, Millie." Millie smiled. She had danced her best, and as she thought back to her audition, she realized just how proud she was of herself.

第九章 米莉和多莉来到公园和大家会合时，菲菲叹了口气：“哎呀，软乎乎的小兔子呀。” 她说道：“米莉，那个角色本来就该是你的。” “是真的呀。”多莉附和道。 “你跳得和威尔一样棒，他们本来完全可以选你的，米莉。” 米莉笑了。 她已经尽了自己最大的努力，回想起试镜的过程，她发现自己打心底里为自己感到骄傲。

"There will be lots of other parts to audition for," Pod reassured her. "You are the best bunny friends anyone could ask for," Millie said. She scooped them up in a huge hug and placed them down by a small stage set up beneath the willow tree. Red cloth napkins had been tied up to make curtains, and smooth, flat stones had been set out

波德安慰她道：“以后还有好多好多角色可以试镜呢。” 米莉说：“你们是全世界最棒的兔子朋友，能遇到你们太幸运了。” 她一把将大家抱进怀里，之后把他们放到柳树下搭好的小舞台旁边。 红色的餐巾被系起来做幕布，光滑平整的石头也已经摆好了

in front of the stage as seats for the audience. Fifi and Pod couldn't wait to introduce Millie to all the Ballet Bunnies and Mambo Mice and Hip-Hop Hedgehogs and Bhangra Blue Jays. Millie had to repeat everyone's name twice to remember all the wonderful new dancers she'd just met.

放在舞台前面，当作观众的座位。 菲菲和波德迫不及待地要把米莉介绍给所有的芭蕾小兔、曼波小鼠、嘻哈刺猬还有班格拉蓝松鸦。 米莉得把每个名字都念两遍，才能记住这些刚认识的、超棒的新舞者们。

"I'd better get to my seat," Millie said to everyone. "Your talent show is about to start!" She wished each of them good luck and sat under the willow tree ready to watch the show. Pod started the show with his vanishing trick. Even though Millie knew exactly what was going to happen, she couldn't help but gasp with the others when his cape dropped and he reappeared in the audience by the Hip-Hop Hedgehogs. The Mambo Mice stunned everyone with their complicated dance routines and their glittery outfits. The Bhangra Blue Jays had everyone up on their feet, paws, and claws with a bhangra class to start off their routine.

米莉对大家说：“我得赶紧去座位上啦。” “你们的才艺秀马上就要开始啦！” 她祝每个人都能取得好成绩，然后坐在柳树下，准备看演出。 波德用他的消失魔术拉开了演出的序幕。 尽管米莉清清楚楚知道接下来会发生什么，可当波德的斗篷落下，他重新出现在观众席里嘻哈刺猬的旁边时，她还是忍不住和其他人一起发出了惊呼。 曼波小鼠们复杂的舞蹈编排和闪闪发亮的演出服，让所有人都惊叹不已。 班格拉蓝松鸦的表演一开始先带大家上了一节班格拉舞课，全场观众都跟着站起来，不管是爪子还是脚爪都跟着动了起来。

But it was Dolly who stole the show. Her ballet routine was utterly magical. She danced like she was painting a picture with her movements, sweeping the entire audience under her spell. And when Dolly was announced as the winner, Millie leapt to her feet with the other animals and cheered louder than anyone.

不过真正抢了全场风头的还是多莉。 她的芭蕾舞表演简直太梦幻了。 她跳起舞来就像在用动作画一幅画，所有观众都被她深深吸引住了。 当多莉被宣布成为冠军时，米莉和其他小动物们一下子跳了起来，欢呼声比谁都大。

Dolly hopped straight over to Millie after she collected her trophy—a G clef carved from a fallen branch. "I'm so proud of how hard we have both worked this week," she said to Millie. "Me too," Millie said, her chest swelling with pride.

多莉领完奖杯——那是用掉落的树枝雕刻成的高音谱号——之后，立刻蹦蹦跳跳地跑到米莉身边。 她对米莉说：“我们这周都特别努力，我真为我们俩感到骄傲。” “我也是。”米莉说道，心里满是自豪感，胸口都涨涨的。
