Chapter 6

CHAPTER SIX 'All is well! The tea set can be the first prize again, Mrs Patel said, throwing her hands up with joy.

第六章一切都好！帕特尔夫人高兴地举起双手说，茶具又可以成为一等奖了。

'Oh, I'd prefer the scones, Dick moaned. Anne giggled. Me too, but I don't think we're going to win first prize. Just look at the selection of jams.'

“哦，我更喜欢司康饼，”迪克呻吟着说。 安妮咯咯笑了。我也是，但我不认为我们会赢得一等奖。 看看这些果酱就知道了。”

'Ladies and gentlemen,' Mrs Sutherland announced from the platform, 'it's time to announce the winner of this year's best jam and it is... drum roll please... Simi with her strawberry jam!'

“女士们，先生们，”萨瑟兰夫人在台上宣布，“是时候宣布今年最佳果酱的获胜者了，它是…… 请打鼓……西米和她的草莓酱！”

Simi sprang to her feet and punched her fist in the air. Everyone laughed and clapped as she made her way to the front to collect the tea set.

西米跳了起来，在空中挥拳。 当她走到前面去拿茶具时，每个人都笑着鼓掌。

When the prize-giving was over, Aunt Fanny turned to George and Julian. 'Before we go home, you both need to apologise to that man, she said. George started to protest. 'But...' 'You had no evidence when you went to question him, Aunt Fanny said sternly. Julian, I was very disappointed in you too. You normally think before you act.'

颁奖仪式结束后，范妮姨妈转向乔治和朱利安。 “在我们回家之前，你们俩都得向那个男人道歉，”她说。 乔治开始抗议。 “但是……“你去问他的时候没有证据，”范妮姨妈严厉地说。 朱利安，我对你也很失望。 你通常会三思而后行。”
