Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Millie's mind reeled with fear. What if Trixie was lost? What if she was all alone and frightened? Mom asked the waitress if she had seen a lucky hair clip, but the waitress had not. Mom saw Millie's face fall at the news and her eyes well with tears again.

第七章 米莉吓得脑子一片空白。 要是特里克茜丢了怎么办？ 要是她孤零零一个人，吓坏了怎么办？ 妈妈问女服务员有没有见过一枚幸运发夹，可服务员说没见过。 妈妈看见米莉听到消息后脸垮了下来，眼睛里又蓄满了泪水。

"Don't worry, Millie," Mom said soothingly. She held up her small shopping bag full of sequins. "We still have one more place to follow our steps back to." The costume shop! Millie and Mom thanked the waitress and hurried out of the café, almost tripping over the steps. They followed the route they had taken earlier, all the way back to the costume shop. Along the way, Millie searched the pavement. She worried that Trixie had fallen from her pocket and hurt herself. But there was still no sign of Trixie.

“别担心，米莉。”妈妈温柔地安慰她。 她举了举手里装满亮片的小购物袋。 “我们还有一个地方可以循着之前的脚步回去找找。” 是戏服店！ 米莉和妈妈谢过女服务员，急匆匆冲出咖啡馆，差点被台阶绊倒。 她们沿着之前走的路线，一路走回戏服店。 路上，米莉眼睛都不眨地盯着人行道找。 她担心特里克茜从口袋里掉出来，摔疼了。 可还是一点特里克茜的影子都没有。

When Millie and Mom arrived at the costume shop, Mom talked to the owner and asked if any lost items had been handed in. Millie retraced her steps back to the ribbon wall where the bunnies had danced their maypole dance. As Millie made her way toward the hat stand, a sound caught her ear. She stopped and listened hard. There it was again!

米莉和妈妈赶到戏服店后，妈妈和店主说明情况，询问有没有人上交过捡到的东西。 米莉沿着之前的脚步，走回那面丝带墙前，之前小兔子们就是在这儿跳五朔节花柱舞的。 米莉往帽子架的方向走时，一个声音飘进了她的耳朵。 她停下脚步，仔细地听。 那个声音又响起来了！

It was a quiet hum, like the gentle buzz of a little snore. Millie shut her eyes so she could concentrate on the sound.

那是轻轻的呼噜声，就像小小的鼾声发出的柔和嗡嗡声。 米莉闭上眼，好专心分辨这个声音的来源。

This time she was sure of what she was hearing. It was the sound of a sleeping Ballet Bunny. Tucked up in the soft felt of an upturned cowboy hat was a little gray Ballet Bunny, sleeping peacefully with her paws wrapped around a very lucky hair clip. Millie had found Trixie.

这一次她完全确定自己听到的是什么了。 那是芭蕾小兔子睡着的声音。 一顶倒扣的牛仔帽的软毛毡里，正蜷着一只小小的灰芭蕾兔子，爪子紧紧抱着那枚幸运发夹，睡得安安稳稳的。 米莉找到特里克茜了。
