Chapter 6

Saturday– a week later Dad has put up the bird table. It is in Agung's bit of the garden at the back where he grows his veg. It is so luminous that astronauts can probably see it from the International Space Station without the aid of a telescope. During breakfast, we heard a commotion. We looked out of the kitchen window to see FUZZFACE jumping up at the sparrows feeding on the table. Dad went outside to go and stop her but was too late. FUZZFACE leaped on the roof and teetered for a second before toppling the whole thing over. Agung cried 'NOOOOO!' as it landed in a whirlwind of feathers and leaves. Agung's eyesight was suddenly crystal clear when he

星期六——一个星期后，爸爸已经把鸟桌搭好了。 这是阿贡在后院花园里种蔬菜的地方。 它是如此明亮，以至于宇航员在国际空间站上不借助望远镜也能看到它。 吃早饭时，我们听到一阵骚动。 我们从厨房的窗户往外看，看见毛茸茸的脸跳到桌上吃东西的麻雀那里。 爸爸跑到外面去阻止她，但是太晚了。 绒毛脸跳到屋顶上，摇摇晃晃地走了一秒钟，然后把整个屋顶都掀翻了。 阿贡叫道：“不！它落在一阵羽毛和树叶的旋风中。 阿贡的视力突然变得清晰起来

saw his polytunnel being flattened. Dad said the table had to go as he couldn't allow our savage of a cat to use it as a death trap for birds. Dad is an environmentalist. He doesn't even like it when Mam rinses spiders down the plughole. Good job he's never around to see how EVIL TWINS treat wildlife! I couldn't hide at Dev's this weekend because his family were away visiting relatives. I was given the job of feeding the Sharmas' dog Graham while they were out. Dad was with Agung at the Chans' and Jack was at book club, which meant that me and Oli were stuck in the house with EVIL TWINS for four hours. HIDEOUS!

看到他的多管隧道被压平了。 爸爸说这张桌子必须搬走，因为他不能允许我们那只野蛮的猫把它当作鸟的死亡陷阱。 爸爸是一个环保主义者。 他甚至不喜欢妈妈把蜘蛛冲进下水道。 做得好，他从来没有看到邪恶的双胞胎是如何对待野生动物的！这个周末我不能躲在戴夫家，因为他的家人都出去探亲了。 夏尔玛夫妇外出时，我被派去喂他们的狗格雷厄姆。 爸爸和阿贡在陈家，杰克在读书俱乐部，这意味着我和奥利和“邪恶的双胞胎”被困在房子里四个小时。 可怕的!

I hardly recognised them when they arrived. Usually they look as if they've crawled out of a sewer. Today they were dressed in their best clothes and their hair was combed into neat side partings. You could easily have been fooled into thinking they were innocent, angelic choir boys, but I saw through their disguise! They were going to a birthday party straight after ours. Mr Tatlock asked if we could keep them looking smart until he came back to collect them. He might as well have asked if we could make tea in a chocolate teapot.

他们来的时候我几乎认不出他们来。 通常他们看起来就像是从下水道爬出来的。 今天他们穿着最好的衣服，头发梳成整齐的侧分。 你很容易被愚弄，以为他们是无辜的，天使般的唱诗班男孩，但我看穿了他们的伪装！他们本来要在我们的生日派对之后去参加一个生日派对。 塔特洛克先生问我们能否让他们保持整洁，直到他回来收他们。 他还不如问我们能不能用巧克力茶壶泡茶。

Mam tried to think of something they could do that wouldn't end up in scraping gunk off the furniture. While she went to fetch the building bricks from the living room Oli started crying because Tod shoved his Luke Skywalker action figure down the toilet. Mam got her washing up gloves on and tried to remove him, but Luke was wedged tight. She pulled too hard on his arm and his hand snapped off, which made Oli cry even more. To calm him down,

妈妈试着想他们能做些什么，而不是把家具上的污垢刮掉。 当她去客厅拿积木时，奥利哭了起来，因为托德把他的天行者卢克（Luke Skywalker）公仔推到了马桶里。 妈妈戴上了洗手手套，想把他移开，但卢克被卡得紧紧的。 她用力拉他的胳膊，他的手断了，这让奥利哭得更厉害了。 为了让他冷静下来，

Mam told him she would replace it with the latest model which has realistic suede hair and moving eyes. This cheered him up no end. Ted came to the door and had a good gawp at what was going on– so evil. Mam was worried that the toilet would be blocked so she told me and Oli to take the twins into the living room and keep them there until she'd fixed the problem. I ushered the twins into the living room and randomly pressed buttons on the telly

妈妈告诉他，她会用最新的模型代替它，这个模型有逼真的绒面头发和移动的眼睛。 这使他不断高兴起来。 泰德走到门口，瞪大了眼睛看正在发生什么事——太邪恶了。 妈妈担心厕所会被堵塞，所以她让我和奥利把双胞胎带到客厅，让他们呆在那里，直到她解决这个问题。 我把双胞胎领进客厅，随意按下电视上的按钮
