The Hat Parade

帽子大游行

Chapter One Billie B Brown has one shoebox, five feathers and three rolls of ribbon. Can you guess what the B in Billie B Brown stands for? Box. Jack is Billie's best friend. He lives next door. Today Jack is helping Billie make funny hats from boxes. "Look at me!" Billie laughs. She puts a shoebox on her head. It is covered with feathers and ribbons.

第一章 比莉·B·布朗有一个鞋盒、五根羽毛和三卷丝带。 你能猜到比莉·B·布朗里的B代表什么吗？ 盒子（Box）。 杰克是比莉最好的朋友。 他住在隔壁。 今天杰克正在帮比莉用盒子做搞笑的帽子。 “快看我！” 比莉大笑起来。 她把一个鞋盒子扣在头上。 盒子上装饰满了羽毛和丝带。

"That is the best hat ever!" Jack laughs. "You will definitely win with that hat!" Billie smiles. On Monday there will be a hat parade at school. Billie really, really wants to win the prize for Best Hat. Lola won last year. This year Billie is sure she can win! "You should go in the parade too, Jack!" Billie says. She plops a funny hat on his head and giggles. "Nah," says Jack. His cheeks turn pink. Billie knows he's too shy to wear a fancy hat. He is scared the other kids might laugh at him.

“这顶帽子简直是史上最棒的！” 杰克笑着说。 “你戴这顶帽子肯定能赢！” 比莉笑了。 周一学校要举办一场帽子大游行。 比莉真的、真的很想赢下“最佳帽子”的奖项。 去年是萝拉赢的。 今年比莉确定自己一定能赢！ “杰克，你也应该来参加游行呀！” 比莉说。 她“啪”地把一顶搞笑的帽子扣在他头上，咯咯地笑了起来。 “不要啦。”杰克说。 他的脸颊变红了。 比莉知道他太害羞了，不好意思戴花哨的帽子。 他怕别的小朋友会笑话他。

Some boys wear hats in the parade. But usually they wear plain old caps. Or maybe they stick a leaf in their school hats. None of them wear fancy hats. Billie thinks they are silly. Fancy hats are obviously the best. Nobody has ever won Best Hat in a cap! Billie and Jack spend all afternoon making hats. Some of them are very funny! Billie's mum and dad invite Jack to stay for dinner. Everyone wears

有些男孩也会参加游行戴帽子。 但他们通常都戴普通的旧棒球帽。 或者最多在自己的校帽上粘一片叶子。 他们没人会戴花哨的帽子。 比莉觉得他们太傻了。 花哨的帽子明显才是最棒的呀！ 从来没人靠棒球帽赢过“最佳帽子”奖！ 比莉和杰克一整个下午都在做帽子。 有些帽子做的特别好笑！ 比莉的爸爸妈妈邀请杰克留下来吃晚饭。 大家吃饭的时候都戴着

Billie's fancy hats to the table. They talk in funny voices. Baby Noah laughs so hard he spits mashed potato everywhere. It has been the best day ever.

比莉做的花哨帽子。 大家都用怪怪的声音说话。 小诺亚笑得太厉害，把土豆泥喷得到处都是。 今天真是有史以来最棒的一天。
