Chapter 8: The Fairy Godmother 第8章：魔法教母 1.灰姑娘在花园的长椅旁哭泣，心中充满了绝望，
Cinderella wept beside a bench in the garden, filled with despair, 2.低声抽泣道：“我的美梦再也不可能实现了……”
and through her sobs whispered, "My dream can never ever come true now..." 3.这时，一道温柔的声音在她身边响起：“孩子，为什么哭得这么伤心？”
Just then, a gentle voice sounded beside her: "Child, why are you crying so terribly?" 4.灰姑娘抬起头，发现面前站着一位慈祥的老妇人，
Cinderella looked up and found a kindly old woman standing before her, 5.手里拿着一根闪闪发光的魔法棒。
holding a sparkling magic wand in her hand. 6.老妇人面带微笑，眼神慈爱。
The old woman smiled kindly, her eyes full of love. 7.灰姑娘惊讶地问：“您……您是谁？”
Cinderella asked in surprise, "Who... who are you?" 8.“我是你的魔法教母，孩子，”老妇人温柔地说，
"I am your Fairy Godmother, my dear," the old woman said gently, 9.“我来帮助你实现愿望。”
"I've come to help you fulfill your wish." 10.灰姑娘又惊又喜，却忍不住摇头叹息：
Cinderella was astonished and overjoyed, but she couldn’t help shaking her head sadly: 11.“可是……我的礼服被撕坏了，已经来不及去舞会了……”
"But... my dress is ruined, and it's too late for me to go to the ball..." 12.魔法教母眨眨眼睛，笑道：
The Fairy Godmother winked and laughed, 13.“别担心，交给我吧！只要你还有信心和善良，什么都有可能发生。”
"Don't worry, just leave it to me! As long as you have faith and kindness, anything is possible." 14.说完，她环顾四周，很快看到了院子角落里的一个大南瓜。
With that, she glanced around and quickly spotted a large pumpkin in the corner of the yard. 15.她举起魔杖轻轻一挥，笑着念出：“比比迪巴比迪布！”
She raised her wand and gave it a gentle wave, cheerfully chanting, "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!" 16.奇迹出现了！
And a miracle occurred! 17.那个南瓜突然开始变大、变形，转眼间变成了一辆金光闪闪的南瓜马车。
The pumpkin suddenly began to grow and change shape, and in the blink of an eye it became a sparkling golden carriage. 18.接着，她又将几只小老鼠变成了强壮的白马，
Next, she turned a few little mice into strong white horses, 19.把狗布鲁诺变成了一位穿着制服的侍童。
and Bruno the dog into a uniformed footman for the carriage. 20.灰姑娘看得目瞪口呆，不敢相信自己的眼睛。
Cinderella watched in astonishment, hardly believing her eyes. 21.而魔法教母笑着说：“现在，轮到你了，孩子。”
The Fairy Godmother smiled and said, "Now it's your turn, child." 22.她再次挥动魔法棒，
She waved the wand again, 23.灰姑娘身上破烂的衣裙立刻发出亮光，神奇地变化起来。
and Cinderella's tattered dress immediately began to sparkle and magically change. 24.不一会儿她已穿上一件洁白闪亮的华丽舞裙，
In no time, she was wearing a gorgeous gown of shimmering white, 25.脚上还多了一双美丽的水晶鞋。
and on her feet appeared a beautiful pair of crystal slippers. 26.灰姑娘简直不敢相信，这真的是自己吗？
Cinderella could hardly believe it. Was this really herself? 27.她开心极了，向魔法教母露出了感激的笑容。
She was overjoyed and gave the Fairy Godmother a grateful smile. 28.魔法教母满意地点点头，
The Fairy Godmother nodded in satisfaction, 29.但仍提醒道：“记住，这魔法只能持续到午夜十二点钟，
but she still gave a reminder: "Remember, this magic will only last until the stroke of midnight, 30.午夜一过，一切都会变回原样。”
Once the clock strikes twelve, everything will return to how it was." 31.灰姑娘牢牢记住了魔法教母的话，感激地拥抱了她，
Cinderella promised to remember, gratefully gave the Fairy Godmother a hug, 32.然后兴奋地登上了南瓜马车。
then excitedly stepped into the pumpkin carriage. 33.“去吧，孩子，尽情享受舞会的美好吧！”魔法教母挥手祝福道。南瓜马车载着灰姑娘，朝王宫驶去了。
"Off you go, dear, and enjoy the ball to your heart's content!" the Fairy Godmother said with a wave. The pumpkin carriage carried Cinderella off towards the royal palace. |
