The Christmas Dream Land圣誕夢境島

一天夜里，在西奧多·費士麗家的院子里出現了一道藍色的光。這道光是從哪里來的？好奇的金妮和凱莉觸摸了這道光，卻被卷進了藍光中——

圣誕夢境島

Once（從前） there was a street called Fisholly Street. Theodore Fisholly’s family lived on this street. This was a poor family. Most people in the village* bought* their food. But Theodore’s family only（僅僅） had a small farm to grow corn（谷物）.

Theodore had a huge（極大的） family. His wife* died of（死于） hunger（饑餓） a few years ago. Now Theodore lived with his six children： James， Kelly， Hedwig， Kevin， Eric and Ginny. James bullied* his little sisters and brothers， and Kelly protected（保護） them. Eric was the smartest， but he laughed at（嘲笑） everybody. Ginny was the youngest. She and Kelly were the best sisters.

village /5vIlIdV/ n. 村莊

bought /bC：t/ v. 買（buy的過去式）

wife /waIf/ n. 妻子

bully /5bJlI/ v. 欺負

譯文：從前，有一條街，名叫費士麗街。西奧多·費士麗一家就住在這條街上。這是一個貧寒的家庭。村里大多數人都是買食物吃的，可西奧多一家只有一個很小的農場可以種谷物。西奧多有一個很大的家庭。他的妻子幾年前餓死了。現在西奧多與他的6個孩子（詹姆斯、凱莉、海德薇格、凱文、埃里克、金妮）住在一起。詹姆斯總是欺負他的弟弟妹妹，而凱莉會去保護他們。埃里克是最聰明的，但他總是嘲笑他人。金妮是最小的，她和凱莉是關系最好的姐妹。

It was two days before Christmas. Each（每個） family on Fisholly Street was happy and excited*. But the Theodore’s family wasn’t. Nobody could afford（買得起） to buy presents.

After breakfast Ginny followed（跟隨） Kelly into her room. “Kelly，” Ginny said， “Christmas is coming， but we have nothing to give to anybody.” “Yes. But what can we do？” asked Kelly. “Hey！” a voice* came from the door. It was Eric. “I have a plan* to help my two stupid（愚蠢的） sisters！” He laughed. “We do not need（需要） your help！” Kelly was angry.

voice /vCIs/ n. 聲音

plan /plAn/ n. 計劃

譯文：再過兩天就是圣誕節了。費士麗街上的每一個家庭都很高興，很興奮，但西奧多一家除外。家中沒人買得起禮物。早餐后，金妮跟著凱莉走進了她的房間。“凱莉，”金妮說，“圣誕節就要到了，可我們沒有東西可以送給別人。”“是的。可我們能怎么辦呢？”凱莉問道。“嘿！”從門口傳來了聲音，原來是埃里克。“我有一個計劃可以幫助我這兩個傻瓜姐妹！”他大笑起來。“我們不需要你的幫助！”凱莉很生氣。

That night， Kelly woke* up and saw a blue light. She woke up Ginny. “See that light？” Kelly asked. “Is that Eric’s flashlight（手電筒）？ He likes to trick（捉弄） us with it，” said Ginny. “No， he’s still in his bed. Let’s go out and see，” Kelly said.

They ran out of the house and found the blue light in their backyard（后院）. “Hello！ Is there anyone shining* the flashlight？” Kelly cried*. There was no reply（應答）. Ginny walked to the light and touched* it. SWOOSH！ Ginny was rolled into（卷入） the blue light！ “Ginny！ Ginny！ Please come back！” Kelly cried with tears（眼淚）. She touched the light and was rolled into the blue light too. Then the light disappeared（消失）.

譯文：夜里，凱莉醒來，看見了一道藍色的光。她叫醒了金妮。“看見那道光了嗎？”凱莉問道。“那是埃里克的手電筒嗎？他老是喜歡用它來捉弄我們。”金妮說。“不，他還在睡覺呢。我們出去看看吧。”凱莉說道。她們跑出房子，在后院找到了那道藍色的光。“你好！有人在閃手電筒嗎？”凱莉喊道。沒有人應答。金妮走向那道光，觸摸了它一下。嗖！金妮被卷進了那道藍色的光！“金妮！金妮！求你快回來吧！”凱莉哭著喊道。她摸了摸那道光，也被卷了進去。然后那道光消失了。

Kelly rolled（滾動） and rolled in the blue light. Suddenly（突然） she heard* a voice， “Welcome to Christmas Dream Land， Kelly！” Kelly looked up. It was Ginny！

In Christmas Dream Land， you have a pair of wings（翅膀）. You can fly anywhere（任何地方）. There are markets*， hotels*， party houses， farms and so on（等等）. “And now， Kelly， we have 100 gold coins（金幣）. We can buy presents for our family. We can also go to the Wishing Tree.” Ginny said. “Wow！ Let’s buy our presents first！” Kelly was excited.

Kelly and Ginny flew* to the market and bought many things. At last， they saved（省下） 30 coins to pay（支付） the Wishing Tree.

An hour later， Kelly and Ginny came to the Wishing Tree. An old face appeared（出現） on the tree. “What do you want， girls？” the tree asked. “We want to...” Ginny started* to speak. “Oh！ It’s a WISH*！ I know！” the Wishing Tree chuckled（咯咯笑）.

“It is also called the Chuckling Smart Tree，” said a voice. Ginny and Kelly turned around（轉身）. “Nice to meet you！ I am Myrtle.” Myrtle had short black hair. “Here is a poem（詩）： Star light， Star bright*， First star I see tonight*， I wish I may， I wish I might， Have the wish I wish tonight. You need to read it.”

The two sisters read the poem together（一起）. They both made the wish that their family would be rich and happy.

Suddenly they fell* out of the blue light and into Kelly’s bed.

When they opened their eyes， they saw their nice house， with golden（金色的） walls and a silver（銀色的） ceiling（天花板）！ There were many presents on the floor. Now they could give the presents to their family. It was Christmas Day！ They spent* two days in Christmas Dream Land！

And Theodore’s family lived happily ever after（從此）...
