阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚，小记者

Amelia Bedelia had just served breakfast. "Where is the paper?" asked Mr. Rogers. "Paper?" said Amelia Bedelia. "What kind of paper would you like? Notepaper, wallpaper, toilet paper "

阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚刚端上早餐。 “报纸在哪？”罗杰斯先生问。 “纸？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你想要哪种纸呀？ 便签纸，墙纸，还是卫生纸？”

"The newspaper," said Mr. Rogers. I cannot start my day without it." "That paper is late," said Amelia Bedelia. "I'll go and see if it has been delivered." When Amelia Bedelia opened the front door, a voice hollered, "DUCK!" Amelia Bedelia did not see any ducks. The only thing she saw was a newspaper coming right at her.

“是报纸，”罗杰斯先生说。 没它我都没法开始新的一天。” “那份报纸迟到啦，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我去看看有没有送到。” 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚打开前门时，一个声音大喊：“低头！” 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚没看到任何鸭子。 她只看到一份报纸正冲着她飞过来。

Amelia Bedelia ducked in the nick of time. BAM! went the paper on the window. CRASH, clink went the broken glass. A boy rode his bike up the front walk. "I am so sorry," he said. I am Peter, your paper boy." "A paper boy?" said Amelia Bedelia. "You look mighty solid to me." "What's the commotion?" asked Mr. Rogers. "Are you all right?" asked Mrs. Rogers. "I am fine," said Amelia Bedelia. "Our paper boy broke the window by mistake."

阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚及时低下了头。 砰！报纸砸在了窗户上。 哗啦，叮铃，玻璃碎了一地。 一个男孩骑着自行车沿着前门小道过来了。 “实在对不起，”他说。 我是彼得，给你们送报纸的。” “送报纸的男孩？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你看着可结实得很，一点都不像纸做的呀。” “怎么这么吵呀？”罗杰斯先生问。 “你没事吧？”罗杰斯太太问。 “我没事，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我们的送报小哥不小心把窗户打碎了。”

"Don't worry, son," said Mrs. Rogers. "We will fix it. It is only a small pane." "That's right," said Amelia Bedelia. "A larger window is a big pain to fix." "I'll buy a new window," said Mr. Rogers. "Let Mrs. Rogers do that," said Amelia Bedelia. "She loves to go window shopping." Peter took a camera out of his bag. "Thanks for not getting mad," he said. "May I take your picture for my paper? We're doing stories on our best customers."

“别担心，孩子，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我们会修好的。 就是一小块玻璃而已。” “对呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “大窗户修起来才头疼呢。” “我来买块新玻璃，”罗杰斯先生说。 “让罗杰斯太太去买吧，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “她可喜欢逛街看橱窗啦。” 彼得从包里拿出一台相机。 “谢谢你们没生气，”他说。 “我能给你们拍张照登在我的报纸上吗？ 我们正在做关于最佳客户的报道。”

Everyone gathered for the picture. "Cheese!" said Peter. Amelia Bedelia didn't see any cheese. She figured Peter was joking, so she smiled like Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. Peter got back on his bike and said, "I have to deliver the rest of these papers on my way to school, but now I am late." "Let me help you," said Amelia Bedelia. Mrs. Rogers waved and called out, "Take the rest of the day off."

大家都聚到一起准备拍照。 “喊茄子！”彼得说。 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚没看到茄子。 她觉得彼得是在开玩笑，所以就跟着罗杰斯夫妇一起笑了。 彼得骑回自行车说：“我得把剩下的报纸送完再去上学，可我现在已经迟到了。” “我来帮你吧，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 罗杰斯太太挥挥手，大声说：“今天剩下的时间都不用上班啦。”
