2 Sweet and Sour

Chapter 2 Sweet and Sour By the time Billy arrived at Ash's house, everyone else was there too.

第二章酸甜苦辣比利到达阿什家时，其他人也都到了。

"Hi Billy! Come on in," said Ash's mum, Michelle. Billy gave his mum a quick, tight hug and stepped inside. "Billy!" said Ash's dad, Dele. "I hope you're hungry, because we've cooked A LOT of food for you boys!" And for me too! Yes, and for you, Naomi!

“嗨,比利!进来吧，”阿什的妈妈米歇尔说。 比利迅速地紧紧拥抱了妈妈一下，然后走了进去。 “比利！”阿什的爸爸德勒说。 “我希望你们饿了，因为我们为你们做了很多食物！”对我也一样！对，还有你，娜奥米！

"Naomi and I helped Dad cook!" said Ash, proudly. "Let me tell you what we're having..." We've got coconut- fried plantain... jollof rice... spicy meat stew... breadfruit... abacha salad... and okro soup.

“内奥米和我帮爸爸做饭！”阿什自豪地说。 “让我告诉你我们要吃什么……” 我们有椰子炒大蕉…… 酱饭……麻辣炖肉…… 面包果……阿巴察沙拉…… 还有秋葵汤。

"Wow!" said Jack. "And best of all," said Ash, "we've got puff-puff for pudding!" "What's that?" asked Billy. Delicious dumplings covered in sugar!

“哇！”杰克说。“最棒的是，”阿什说，“我们有泡芙做布丁！”“那是什么？”比利问。 美味的糖包饺子！

As they took their seats, Billy popped the Mini Monsters under his chair. All through the meal, he kept passing them little pieces of food, so they could enjoy it too. I love plantain. So do I! Ash looked down and grinned He knew about the Mini Monsters now, and still got really excited every time he saw them.

当他们落座时，比利把迷你怪兽弹到椅子底下。 在整个用餐过程中，他不停地递给他们小块食物，让他们也能享受。 我喜欢大蕉。我也是！阿什低下头，咧嘴一笑。他现在知道小怪兽的事了，但每次看到它们，他还是会非常兴奋。

"And now," said Ash, when everyone had finished,it's MOVIE TIME!" Ash's mum put on a superhero film and his dad handed round popcorn.

“现在，”当大家都看完后，阿什说，“电影时间到了！”阿什的妈妈放了一部超级英雄电影，他的爸爸递给大家爆米花。
