Chapter 2- Fairyland (Part I)
第二章～仙境（第一話）
As Victor, now a mouse, scuttled into the hole in the wall, he was completely enveloped by darkness and he couldn't see a thing. However, he didn't stop running. He ran and ran and ran, which seemed like for ages, until he eventually perceived a small speck of bright light at the end of the seemingly never-ending tunnel. Then, as he quickened his pace even more, the speck got bigger and brighter till he was completely out of the long, dark tunnel.
當變成了老鼠的維特鑽進牆角的洞裏後，他便完全被伸手不見五指的漆黑給包圍了。然而，他並没有因此停止腳步。他跑呀跑的，跑了似乎一個世紀這麼久後，終於發現了在這個彷彿永無止盡的隧道終點有著一個白色的小點點。當他加緊腳步後，小白點愈變愈大，最後，終於完全脫離了隧道。
At first, he wasn't able to see anything, as his eyes had long been accustomed to the low illumination of the tunnel, which caused them to be unable to stand the bright sunlight that shone straight towards them.
起初，他什麼也看不見，因爲他的眼睛早已習慣了陰暗的隧道。
Then, as Victor's eyes gradually got used to the light, he was absolutely stunned by the sight that entered his eyes. He seemed to have entered into a Fairyland, there was a magical castle floating on the surface of a glimmering lake, a fairy boat gliding on top of the crystal clear water, fairies with butterfly-like wings soaring in the clear, blue sky! And that's not all! There were also winged horses, which he later discovered to be called Pegasus, flying gracefully on top of him, and beautiful mermaids resting on the granite rocks by the river.
當眼睛慢慢適應了光線後，映入眼簾的景象讓維特驚訝得啞口無言。他似乎來到了一個仙境一般，那兒有個騰空飄浮在水面上的魔法城堡、仙人船輕巧地在清澈的湖面上滑行、長著蝴蝶般翅膀的仙子在萬里無雲的天空上飛翔！還不止這樣咧！還有飛天馬在天空中自由自在地翱翔著，和美麗的人魚坐在湖邊的花崗岩上休息。
"Wow!" It was a long time before he could usher any signs of amazement. "Have I entered into some sort of dreamland that only appears in fairy-tales?" he thought to himself as he looked around in order to take in every beautiful bit of the scenery, as if afraid that it would soon disappear.
「哇嗚！」過了好久，維特纔終於找到了自己的聲音。「我真的進入了只有在童話故事裏纔有的仙境了嗎？」他一邊想著，一邊四處張望地看著這幅美麗的景色，彷彿它隨時會消失一般。
Then, suddenly, he discovered that he was no longer standing on all fours, assuming that he had turned back to his old self again, Victor quickly dashed to the lake bank and peered into the crystal clear water.
突然，他注意到自己已經不再用四肢站立了。以為自己已經變回原樣的維特興奮地衝到湖邊，往清澈見底的湖面一望。
Nevertheless, the cruel truth seemed to slap him on his face as he stared in horror at the image of his reflection- an overgrown mouse with long eyelashes standing on two feet, wearing a red dress, with a red bow-tie on its head and wearing bright red high-heels.
然而，殘酷的事實彷彿狠狠的賞了維特一記耳光一般，他被自己的倒映嚇了一大跳。映入眼簾的竟是一隻有著長睫毛、穿著紅色洋裝、頭上綁著蝴蝶結、還腳踩著鮮紅色高跟鞋的巨大的老鼠！
Oh no! This time, Victor had not only turned into a mouse, but also, a female mouse, too!!!
噢、不！這次維特不僅變成了老鼠，還是一隻母老鼠！！
