CHAPTER THREE Back to School "So you escaped from me before, did you?" she said. "Well, you won't escape again. Bad children who are sent to me to be good don't usually escape before they are taught

第三章 回到学校 “原来你之前从我这儿逃走了，是吧？” 她说道。 “哼，你别想再逃了。 那些被送来我这儿学规矩的坏孩子，还没等学会该学的东西，一般都跑不掉的。

things they ought to know!" "Look here!" began Moon-Face, putting a bold face on. "Look here, Dame Snap, we didn't come to see you; we came to see Saucepan's mother."

该知道的事情呢！” “你听我说！”月亮脸壮着胆子开口道。 “听我说，施纳普夫人，我们不是来找你的，我们是来找平底锅的妈妈的。”

"I've never in my life heard of Saucepan," said Dame Snap. "Never. It's a naughty story. You're making it up. I punish people for telling stories. You wicked man!" she snapped at Moon-Face. "Saucepan's mother works for you!" he shouted, dodging round the kitchen. "She cooks for your school! Where is she?"

“我这辈子从来没听过什么平底锅。”施纳普夫人说。 “从来没有。 这就是个瞎编的淘气故事。 都是你编出来的。 说谎的人我都会惩罚的。 你这个坏家伙！” 她冲着月亮脸厉声呵斥。 “平底锅的妈妈在你这儿干活的！” 他一边喊，一边绕着厨房躲来躲去。 “她在你的学校里做饭的！ 她在哪儿？”

"Oh— the lady who cooks," said Dame Snap. "Well, she walked out yesterday, along with a dreadful creature who had kettles and pans hung all round him." "That was Saucepan," groaned Joe. "Where did they go?" "I don't know and I certainly don't care," said Dame Snap. "The lady was rude to me, and I shouted at her. So she went off. Can any of you cook?" "I can," said Beth. "But if you think I'm going to cook for you, you're mistaken. I'm going home."

“哦——你说的是那个做饭的女士啊。”施纳普夫人说。 “唉，她昨天走了，和一个浑身挂满锅子水壶的可怕家伙一起走的。” “那就是平底锅啊。”乔呻吟着说。 “他们去哪儿了？” “我不知道，而且我也一点都不关心。”施纳普夫人说。 “那个女士对我很没礼貌，我就冲她吼了几句。 然后她就走了。 你们当中有人会做饭吗？” “我会。”贝丝说。 “但你要是觉得我会给你做饭，那你可想错了。 我要回家。”
