1 The Terrible Triplets

The Terrible TRIPLETS ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a set of terrible triplets. Their names were Tom, Dick and Harry. Sometimes when you have sets of triplets you have a mixture of nice ones and naughty ones. All three of these triplets were naughty.

从前，有一对可怕的三胞胎。 他们的名字是汤姆、迪克和哈利。 有时候，当你有一组三胞胎的时候，你会看到既有乖的，也有淘气的。 这三个三胞胎都很淘气。

Tom, Dick and Harry had been born just moments apart, fighting their way out of the womb, trying to elbow each other aside to see who could be first. You see, all three of them wanted to be top dog. As a result, their lives became a non-stop struggle over Who was the best at something. These being three of the world's worst children, they wanted to be the best at bad things only. Very bad things. When they were babies, Tom, Dick and Harry would battle over who could: Bawl the loudest... Break their toys the fastest... BASH! Chew through the bars in their cot first... MUNCH! Create the most mess on the walls with their crayons... "HA! HA!" Soak their poor mother with the most water spat from the bath... SPLOSH!

汤姆、迪克和哈利出生时相隔不久，他们挣扎着从子宫里出来，试图把对方挤到一边，看谁先出生。 你看，他们三个都想成为老大。 结果，他们的生活变成了一场无休无止的关于谁最擅长某件事的斗争。 这三个孩子是世界上最坏的孩子，他们只想在坏事上做得最好。 非常糟糕的事情。当汤姆、迪克和哈利还是婴儿的时候，他们会为谁能大声喊叫而争吵。 以最快的速度弄坏他们的玩具…… BASH !先咬断他们床上的栅栏…… 蒙克!用蜡笔在墙上乱涂乱画…… “哈!哈!”用浴盆里吐出来的最多的水浸泡他们可怜的母亲…… 金钱!

Flick their baby food the furthest... SPLAT! Wipe the most dirt from their hands on to the curtains... WIPE! Guzzle down the most milk... Do the smelliest burps... GUZZLE! "BURP!" Leave the biggest deposit in their nappy... When they were toddlers, the triplets would tussle over who could: Go fastest in the trolley down the supermarket aisles, and knock over the largest number of old ladies... WHIZZ!

把他们的婴儿食品弹得最远…… 长条木板!把他们手上最多的脏东西擦到窗帘上…… 擦!喝下最多的牛奶…… 打最臭的嗝……狂饮!“嗝!”在他们的尿布里留下最大的押金…… 当他们还在蹒跚学步的时候，三胞胎会为谁跑得最快而争吵：在超市的过道里坐着手推车跑得最快，撞倒的老太太最多…… 精明的人!

Burst other children's balloons at the funfair with a drawing pin and make them cry... POP! Overfeed their goldfishes so they were bigger than their bowls... "BLEURGH!" Do the smelliest blow-offs while sitting on Father Christmas's knee... Build the rudest snowman. This was all about where you placed the carrot... "TEE-HEE!" Spoil storytime by eating as many of the books as they could... CRUNCH! Slam the piano lid down the hardest on their nursery teacher's fingers when it was singsong time... TWONG!" OUCH!"

在游乐场用图钉戳破其他孩子的气球，把他们弄哭。 流行!过度喂养金鱼，让它们比碗还大…… “BLEURGH !”坐在圣诞老人的膝盖上吹最臭的气…… 堆最粗鲁的雪人。关键在于你把胡萝卜放在哪里…… “鳄鱼!”尽可能多地吃书，破坏了讲故事的时间。 危机!唱歌的时候，最用力地把钢琴盖砸在幼儿园老师的手指上。 TWONG !”哎哟!”
