The Night Fright

黑夜惊魂

Chapter One Billie B Brown has one pair of 3D glasses, one fizzy drink and a huge bucket of popcorn. Do you know what the B in Billie B Brown stands for? Buzzing. Billie B Brown is buzzing with excitement. She is going to the movies with Rebecca and

第一章 比莉·B·布朗拿着一副3D眼镜，一瓶气泡饮料，还有一大桶爆米花。 你知道比莉·B·布朗里的B代表什么吗？ 是“嗡嗡转”的B哦。 比莉·B·布朗兴奋得浑身都像有小蜜蜂在嗡嗡转。 她要和丽贝卡还有

her sisters. Rebecca is in Billie's class at school. She has two big sisters called Karri and Jen.

丽贝卡的姐姐们一起去看电影。 丽贝卡是比莉的同班同学。 她有两个姐姐，叫卡里和珍。

Billie wishes she had two big sisters. Billie only has a fat baby brother called Noah. He is nice for cuddles but not much else. Rebecca's mum lines up for the tickets. "Which movie do you want to see?" she asks. "How about that one with the dancing mice?" "Nah," says Jen. "That's for babies. Let's go and see the one about the haunted house." "Hmmm," says Rebecca's mum. "It looks a bit scary." "No, it's not," says Karri. "It's only PG. It's for kids."

比莉特别希望自己也有两个姐姐。 她只有个胖乎乎的小弟弟，叫诺亚。 他抱起来软乎乎的，可别的就没什么好玩的了。 丽贝卡的妈妈排队去买票。 “你们想看哪部电影呀？”她问。 “那部讲跳舞小老鼠的怎么样？”“不要，”珍说。 “那是小宝宝看的。 我们去看那部鬼屋的电影吧。” “嗯，”丽贝卡的妈妈说。 “那部看起来有点吓人呀。” “不会的，一点都不吓人，”卡里说。 “它只是PG级的。 是给小朋友看的。”

"Well, I think we should let Billie and Rebecca decide," says Rebecca's mum. "Are you OK with scary movies?" Jen asks Billie. "Of course!" Billie says, though secretly she is

“好吧，我觉得我们该让比莉和丽贝卡来决定，”丽贝卡的妈妈说。 “你们看恐怖电影没问题吗？” 珍问比莉。 “当然没问题啦！” 比莉嘴上这么说，可心里其实

a teensy bit nervous. Billie doesn't like scary movies much. They give her nightmares. But Billie doesn't want Rebecca's sisters to know this. She wants them to think she is brave. "Rebecca?" asks Rebecca's mum. "Are you OK with the scary movie?" At first, Billie thinks Rebecca looks a bit nervous too. But then she says, "Sure! We're not babies, Mum." "I used to get scared," Billie says in a big voice. "But that was when I was little, not now."

有一丢丢紧张。 比莉其实不太喜欢恐怖电影。 看完总会做噩梦。 可她不想让丽贝卡的姐姐们知道这件事。 她想让她们觉得自己特别勇敢。 “丽贝卡呢？”丽贝卡的妈妈问。 “你看恐怖电影可以吗？” 一开始，比莉觉得丽贝卡看起来也有点紧张。 可接着丽贝卡就说：“当然可以啦！ 我们又不是小宝宝啦，妈妈。” “我以前才会害怕呢，”比莉故意大声说。 “那都是我小时候的事啦，现在才不会。”
