8 Bonnie Bossypants

BONNIE Bossypants PART 1 BONNIE WAS THE bossiest girl who ever lived. She would boss around all her classmates. "Stop laughing like that, Larissa. You sound like a seal!"

邦妮是世界上最爱发号施令的女孩。 她对所有的同学都颐指气使。 “别那样笑了，拉丽莎。 你听起来像只海豹！”

"Close your mouth when you are chewing, Cher! It makes you seem awfully common!" "Lose the perm, Perri. You look like a poodle!" She even bossed around all of her teachers. "I know you are extremely old, Miss Drabble, but stop dribbling!" "For goodness' sake, straighten your tie, Mr Trundle. You look like you slept in a ditch!" "Learn how to pronounce your 'R's properly, Mr Richards! The animal you are referring to is a 'racoon' not a 'wacoon'! I have never heard of a 'WACOON'!" And, of course, she bossed around her own family. "Brother, don't play with your yo-yo at the table!" "Father, stop picking your nose!" "Mother, don't slurp when you drink your tea! It's DISGUSTING!"

“吃东西的时候把嘴闭上，雪儿！”这让你显得太普通了！”“别烫发了，佩里。 你看起来像只贵宾犬！”她甚至对她所有的老师都颐指气使。 “我知道你年纪很大了，德拉布尔小姐，但别再运球了！”“看在上帝的份上，把你的领带弄直吧，特伦德尔先生。 你看起来就像睡在沟里一样！”“理查兹先生，学习怎样正确地发‘R’的音！”你所指的动物是“浣熊”而不是“浣熊”！我从来没听说过‘WACOON’！”当然，她对自己的家人颐指气使。 “哥哥，不要在桌子上玩你的溜溜球！”“爸爸，别挖鼻子了！”“妈妈，你喝茶的时候不要发出声音！”很恶心!”

The night our story begins, things came to a head at home. None of her family could bear Bonnie's bossiness. The four were sitting in icy silence round the dining table eating their supper. An already tense situation became unbearable when Bonnie's father didn't finish all the food on his plate. "Finish your peas, Father, or you will be forced to eat them cold for breakfast!" ordered the girl. "I am sorry, Bonnie," he began, "but I am stuffed. I couldn't eat another thing." "I said 'finish them'!" she repeated. "Please don't make me! I think I will burst!" "Then you will be forced to eat them cold for your breakfast!" "NO!" replied Father. "Not cold peas. PLEASE! I hate cold peas. They would make me sick!"

我们的故事开始的那天晚上，家里的事情到了紧要关头。 她家里没有一个人能忍受邦妮的专横。 四个人冰冷而沉默地围坐在餐桌旁吃晚饭。 当邦妮的父亲没有吃完盘子里所有的食物时，本已紧张的局面变得难以忍受。 “把你的豌豆吃完，爸爸，否则你就只好把它们当早餐冷着吃了！”女孩命令道。 “对不起，邦妮，“他开始说，”我吃饱了。 我什么也吃不下了。” “我说了‘吃完’！”她重复道。 “请不要逼我！”我想我要炸了！”“那你就只好把它们冻着当早餐吃了！”“不！”父亲回答。 “不是冷豌豆。拜托!我讨厌冷豌豆。 它们会让我恶心的！”

"Eat your peas right now or I will stick one up each of your nostrils!" Bonnie wasn't joking. She took two off her plate, ready to push them up her father's nose. The timid little man burst into floods of tears. "BOO HOO HOO!" "Stop Crying or I will fetch the bag of frozen peas out of the freezer and make you eat every last frost-covered one!" This made the man Cry even LOUDER. "BOO HOO HOO!" "Bonnie! Leave your father alone!" pleaded Mother. "Did I tell you that you could talk? If you have something to say, Mother, put your hand in the air!" "No, but-" "I said, put your hand in the air!" growled the girl. Reluctantly, Mother did so. Her daughter made the lady wait ages until letting her speak. In fact, Mother had to change arms as the first one grew too tired.

“现在就把豌豆吃了，不然我就往你们每个人鼻孔里塞一颗！”邦妮不是在开玩笑。 她从盘子里拿了两个，准备把它们塞进父亲的鼻子里。 那个胆小的小个子男人突然大哭起来。 “boo hoo hoo !”“别哭了，不然我就把冰箱里的那袋冻豌豆拿出来，让你把最后一个被霜覆盖的豌豆都吃掉！”这让男人哭得更大声了。 “boo hoo hoo !”“邦妮!离你爸爸远点！”妈妈恳求道。 “我告诉过你可以说话吗？” 如果你有话要说，妈妈，就把手举起来！”“不，可是——”“我说了，把手举起来！”女孩咆哮道。 母亲不情愿地照做了。 她的女儿让那位女士等了很久才让她说话。 事实上，妈妈不得不换胳膊，因为第一个孩子太累了。

"Yes? Mother?" "Thank you. Bonnie, I think I am speaking for all the family now. You have to stop bossing us around like this!" Bonnie's eyes narrowed. "Right! Mother, Father, go to your room this instant!" "But-" protested Mother. "I said, this instant!" The two grown-ups sighed and stood up from the table. They sloped off out of the dining room. "Quickly, please!" Bonnie ordered. "Chop-chop! Right, brother! Put that yo-yo down! You clear the table, and do all the washing-up and drying-up. Do you understand me?" Her little brother Benji nodded. The poor boy hadn't spoken a word since birth. Having the world's bossiest sister, it was easier to keep schtum. Most of the time he spent curling and uncurling his yo-yo.

“是吗?妈妈?”“谢谢。 邦妮，我想我现在是在代表全家人说话。 你不能再这样对我们使唤了！”邦妮眯起眼睛。 “正确!妈妈，爸爸，马上回你们的房间去！”“可是——”母亲抗议道。 “我说，马上！”两个大人叹了口气，从桌边站了起来。 他们溜出了餐厅。 “快,请!”邦妮。 “快点!吧,兄弟!把溜溜球放下！你收拾桌子，洗碗和擦干衣服。 你明白我的意思吗？”她的弟弟本吉点了点头。 这个可怜的男孩从出生起就没说过一句话。 有了世界上最专横的姐姐，保持沉默就容易多了。 他的大部分时间都是在滚溜溜球和打开溜溜球。
