wooden house on the edge of a great town. The house wasn't nearly large enough for so many people, and life was extremely uncomfortable for them all. There were only two rooms in the place altogether, and there was only one bed. The bed was given to the four old grandparents because they were so old and tired. They were so tired, they never got out of it. Grandpa Joe and Grandma Josephine on this side, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina on this side. Mr and Mrs Bucket and little Charlie Bucket slept in the other room, upon mattresses on the floor. In the summertime, this wasn't too bad, but in the winter, freezing cold draughts blew across the floor all night long,

一座大城市边上的木屋。 房子不够大，容不下这么多人，生活对他们所有人来说都极其不舒服。 这地方总共只有两个房间，只有一张床。 这张床给了四位年迈的爷爷奶奶，因为他们又老又累。 他们太累了，再也无法摆脱。 乔爷爷和约瑟芬奶奶在这一边，乔治爷爷和乔治娜奶奶在这一边。 巴克特夫妇和小查理·巴克特睡在另一个房间地板上的床垫上。 在夏天，这还不算太糟，但在冬天，冰冷的气流整夜吹过地板，

and it was awful. There wasn't any question of them being able to buy a better house – or even one more bed to sleep in. They were far too poor for that. Mr Bucket was the only person in the family with a job. He worked in a toothpaste factory, where he sat all day long at a bench and screwed the little caps on to the tops of the tubes of toothpaste after the tubes had been filled. But a toothpaste cap-screwer is never paid very much money, and poor Mr Bucket, however hard he worked, and however fast he screwed on the caps, was never able to make enough to buy one half of the things that so large a family needed. There wasn't even enough money to buy proper food for them all. The only meals they could afford were bread and margarine for breakfast, boiled potatoes and cabbage for lunch, and cabbage soup for supper. Sundays were a bit better. They all looked forward to Sundays because then, although they had exactly the same, everyone was allowed a second helping. The Buckets, of course, didn't starve, but every one of them – the two old grandfathers, the two old grandmothers, Charlie's father, Charlie's mother, and especially little Charlie himself – went about from morning till night with a horrible empty feeling in their tummies. Charlie felt it worst of all. And although his father and mother often went without their own share of lunch or supper so that they could give it to him, it still wasn't nearly enough for a growing boy. He desperately wanted something

这太可怕了。他们毫无疑问能买到更好的房子，甚至能多睡一张床。 他们太穷了。 巴克特先生是家里唯一有工作的人。 他在一家牙膏厂工作，在那里他整天坐在长凳上，在牙膏管装满后把小盖子拧到牙膏管的顶部。 但是，拧牙膏盖的工人从来没有得到过多少钱，可怜的巴克特先生，无论他工作多么努力，拧牙膏盖的速度多么快，他挣的钱都不够买这么一大家子所需物品的一半。 甚至没有足够的钱给他们所有人买适当的食物。 他们唯一能负担得起的食物是早餐面包和人造黄油，午餐煮土豆和卷心菜，晚餐吃卷心菜汤。 星期天好一点。 他们都盼望着星期天，因为在星期天，虽然他们吃的东西完全一样，但每个人都可以再吃一份。 水桶一家当然没有挨饿，但他们每一个人——两个老祖父、两个老祖母、查理的父亲、查理的母亲，尤其是小查理自己——从早到晚都带着一种可怕的空虚感在肚子里走来走去。 查理感觉最糟。 虽然他的父母经常不给他自己的午餐或晚餐，这样他们就可以给他吃，但对于一个正在成长的男孩来说，这仍然远远不够。 他迫切地想要一些东西
