3 Nigel Nit-Boy

NIGEL Nit-Boy NITS ARE ITCHY. Nits are scratchy Nits are scritch he Nits are a NUISANCE. Not for Nigel. Nigel was a boy who could never have enough nits. He wanted his hair crawling with them. Our tale begins on the morning that Nigel woke up to discover he had a nit living in his hair. Most of us would be appalled and immediately try to evict the nit. Not Nigel. He was delighted.

奈杰尔：小男孩的虱子很痒。 虱子是挠痒的虱子是挠痒的虱子是讨厌的。 对奈杰尔来说不是。奈杰尔是一个永远不会有足够虱子的男孩。 他想让他的头发爬满它们。 我们的故事开始于奈杰尔早上醒来发现他的头发里住着一个虱子。 我们中的大多数人会感到震惊，并立即试图驱逐尼特。 奈杰尔。他很高兴。

The boy called this nit MR HENDERSON. Nigel didn't have a dog or a cat or a hamster, so he treated his nit like a pet. He made sure he never combed his hair (nits hate combs). Soon Nigel's hair was wild and frizzy, like a great big bush. A jungle paradise for nits. Nigl fed Mr Henderson titbits of dandruff (nits love dandruff) in the hope of training him up to do tricks, like leaping from one side of Nigel's head to the other. Soon afterwards, Nigel heard of another child at school who had nits. Her name was Tina Ting. Nigel wanted Tina's nits more than anything in the world. He wanted nits, nits and more nits! At break-time Nigel chased the poor girl round the playground.

这个男孩称他为亨德森先生。 奈杰尔没有养狗，没有养猫，也没有养仓鼠，所以他把自己的虱子当宠物对待。 他从不梳头（虱子讨厌梳子）。 不久，奈杰尔的头发又乱又卷曲，像一大片灌木。 这里是虱子的丛林天堂。 尼格尔给亨德森喂了一些头皮屑（虱子喜欢头皮屑），希望能训练他做一些小把戏，比如从尼格尔头的一边跳到另一边。 不久之后，奈杰尔听说学校里又有一个孩子得了虱子。 她的名字叫蒂娜·丁。奈杰尔最想要蒂娜的虱子。 他想要虱子，虱子，更多的虱子！课间休息时，奈杰尔在操场上追着那个可怜的女孩。

"What do you want?" cried Tina tearfully. "I am not playing 'it'!" "I want your nits!" replied the boy. "My nits? You are nuts!" yelled the girl. "Yes, I am NUTS for nits!" said Nigel. The boy tripped over a skateboard and flew through the air towards her. CLONK! The heads bashed and, in an instant, Tina's nits crawled over to Nigel's head... A little dazed, the boy was nonetheless happy. Now Mr Henderson had some company. The next day Nigel heard of a boy in school who had nits: Colin Clont. Nigel wanted those nits so badly. So he chased Colin down the corridor and cornered him in the toilets.

“你想要什么？”蒂娜泪流满面地喊道。 “我不玩‘它’！”“我要你的虱子！”男孩回答。 “我的傻瓜吗?你疯了！”女孩喊道。 “是的，我就是个疯子！”奈杰尔说。 男孩被一块滑板绊了一下，飞向她。 叮当声!脑袋撞在一起，一瞬间，蒂娜的虱子爬到了奈杰尔的头上…… 男孩有点头晕，但他还是很开心。 现在，亨德森有了一个伙伴。 第二天，奈杰尔听说学校里有个男孩得了虱子，他叫科林·克朗特。 奈杰尔非常想要那些虱子。 所以他沿着走廊追科林，把他逼到厕所里。

The trembling boy locked himself in a cubicle, but Nigel would not give up. He climbed over the top of the next cubicle and dangled upside down from the ceiling. Nigel's and Colin's heads knocked together. BONK! Once again the nits sprang across to Nigel's head. Even the school cat was not safe from Nigel's advances. When Nigel was told that Minky the cat also had nits, he pursued the poor creature across the football field. Once he had caught the cat, he Sellotaped it to his head. It looked like a very unconvincing wig. Still, one by one the cat's nits bounded on to Nigel's head. Soon Nigel had so many nits that even his nits had nits. He stopped counting them at a million and three.

颤抖的男孩把自己锁在一个小隔间里，但奈杰尔不愿放弃。 他爬过隔壁隔间的顶部，倒挂在天花板上。 奈杰尔和科林的头撞在了一起。 砰！虱子又一次窜到了奈杰尔的头上。 即使是学校里的猫，在奈杰尔的挑逗下也不安全。 当奈杰尔被告知猫明基也有虱子时，他在足球场的另一边追着这只可怜的动物。 他一抓住猫，就用胶带把它绑在头上。 它看起来就像一个非常不可信的假发。 尽管如此，猫的虱子还是一个接一个地落到了奈杰尔的头上。 不久，奈杰尔长了很多虱子，连他的虱子都长了虱子。 他不再数到一百零三了。

Now you may be wondering why Nigel wanted a headful of nits. Please let me explain. Ever since he was a toddler, Nigel had spent his days reading comics. The boy was short for his age (if you don't count the wild bush of hair on top of his head) and he wanted to be strong and POWERFUL like the characters in his comics. However, Nigel had had a very normal upbringing. He'd not been lucky enough to have been bitten by a RADIOACTIVE SPIDER, or come from a VIKING PLANET, or fallen down a well of BATS. Besides, he found superheroes a bit boring. They were always doing good. The SUPERVILLAINS were so much more thrilling. Before long, naughty Nigel had a plan. One morning as the boy was standing in the bathroom cleaning his teeth, he looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was now not so much a bush, more of a hedgerow. Nigel could not remember the last time he had either cut or combed it.

现在你可能想知道为什么奈杰尔想要一脑袋虱子。 请听我解释。奈杰尔从蹒跚学步的时候起，就整天看漫画。 这个男孩相对于他的年龄来说比较矮（如果不算他头顶上那簇乱蓬蓬的头发的话），他想要像漫画里的人物那样强壮有力。 然而，奈杰尔的成长经历非常正常。 他没有那么幸运，没有被放射性蜘蛛咬过，没有从维京星球来过，也没有掉进蝙蝠的井里。 此外，他觉得超级英雄有点无聊。 他们总是做好事。 超级反派更令人兴奋。 不久，顽皮的奈杰尔有了一个计划。 一天早上，当男孩站在浴室里刷牙时，他看着镜子里的自己。 他的头发现在与其说是一丛灌木，不如说是一道篱笆。 奈杰尔不记得他上次剪头发或梳理头发是什么时候了。
