19 The haunted house

Winnie AND Wilbur THE HAUNTED HOUSE

《温妮和威尔伯：闹鬼的房子》

It was a lovely, warm, sunny afternoon. Winnie the Witch thought she'd have a sleep. She sat down in her big armchair, shut her eyes, and in two minutes she was snoring. Wilbur, Winnie's big black cat, thought he'd have a sleep, too. He curled up on a cushion, shut his eyes, and in three minutes...

那是个温暖晴朗、惬意宜人的下午。 女巫温妮打算小睡一会儿。 她坐到自己的大扶手椅上，闭上眼，两分钟就打起了呼噜。 温妮的大黑猫威尔伯，也觉得自己该睡一觉。 他蜷在软垫上，闭上眼，三分钟后……

a bumblebee flew in through the window. BUZZZZZ! Wilbur liked to chase bumblebees He jumped up at the bumblebee, and missed. He jumped up again. higher... missed the bumblebee... and landed...

一只大黄蜂从窗户飞了进来。 嗡嗡嗡！ 威尔伯最爱追大黄蜂了，他朝大黄蜂扑过去，扑空了。 他又跳了起来。 跳得更高……还是没碰到大黄蜂……然后直直掉在了……

in the big vase of flowers on Winnie's table. CRASH! SMASH! SPLASH! Winnie woke up. "Oh no! My best vase!" she said. "Did you do that, Wilbur?" But she couldn't see Wilbur anywhere. "Where are my glasses?" asked Winnie. "Who took them?" She bent down to look for them. Wilbur shot out from under Winnie's chair. Where could he hide? Behind the curtains.

温妮桌子上那一大瓶插花里。 哐当！ 哗啦！ 啪嗒！ 温妮醒了。 “哦，糟了！ 我最喜欢的花瓶！” 她说道。 “威尔伯，是不是你干的？” 可她哪儿都找不到威尔伯。 “我的眼镜去哪儿了？”温妮问。 谁把它们拿走了？” 她弯腰四处找眼镜。 威尔伯“嗖”地从温妮的椅子底下窜了出来。 他能躲到哪儿去呢？ 窗帘后面。

SWISH! CRASH! Down came the curtains, on top of Winnie. "Blithering broomsticks!" she shouted. Winnie crawled out from under the curtains. "Who did that? Was it a ghost? Is my house haunted? Wilbur raced up the stairs. Where could he hide? Then he saw the perfect place. Winnie would never look up there.

哗啦！哐当！ 窗帘掉了下来，正好罩在温妮头上。 “该死的扫帚啊！” 她大叫道。 温妮从窗帘底下爬了出来。 “这是谁干的？ 是鬼吗？ 难道我的房子闹鬼了？” 威尔伯飞快地跑上了楼梯。 他能躲到哪儿去呢？ 这时他看到了一个完美的藏身地。 温妮绝对不会往那儿看的。

Wilbur jumped onto the banister and then sprang onto the chandelier. The chandelier swung from side to side. Wilbur hung on tightly. Perhaps the chandelier wasn't a good idea: Wilbur jumped back onto the banister just in time.

威尔伯跳到楼梯扶手上，接着一蹦，跳上了吊灯。 吊灯晃来晃去，左右摇摆。 威尔伯紧紧抓着吊灯。 或许躲在吊灯上不是个好主意：威尔伯及时跳回了楼梯扶手。
