Good Work, Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish

佩吉·帕里什 著《干得好，阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚》

"Amelia Bedelia," called Mr. Rogers. "Is the coffee ready?" "Coming right up," said Amelia Bedelia. She poured a cup of coffee. She took it into the dining room.

“阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚，”罗杰斯先生喊道。 “咖啡煮好了吗？” “马上就来，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 她倒了一杯咖啡。 把咖啡端进了餐厅。

"There," said Amelia Bedelia. "Would you like something more?" "Yes," said Mr. Rogers. "Toast and an egg." "Fine," said Amelia Bedelia. She went into the kitchen.

“放好了，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “您还要点别的吗？” “要的，”罗杰斯先生说。 “烤面包加一个鸡蛋。” “好的，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 转身走进了厨房。

Very quickly Amelia Bedelia was back. Mr. Rogers picked up the egg. He broke it over his toast. "Confound it, Amelia Bedelia!" he said. "I didn't say raw egg!" "But you didn't say to cook it," said Amelia Bedelia. Mr. Rogers threw down his napkin. "Oh, go fly a kite," he said. Amelia Bedelia looked surprised. "All right," she said. "If you say so."

阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚很快就端着东西回来了。 罗杰斯先生拿起那个鸡蛋。 把鸡蛋打到了烤面包上。 “真要命，阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚！” 他说。 “我没说要生鸡蛋啊！” “可您也没说要煮一下呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 罗杰斯先生气得扔下了餐巾。 “哦，去放风筝吧，”他说。 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚看起来很惊讶。 “好呀，”她说。 “既然您这么说，我就去啦。”

Soon Amelia Bedelia was out in a field. She had a kite. "Now that was nice of Mr. Rogers," she said. "I do love to fly kites. But I better get back. Mrs. Rogers might need me."

很快阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚就来到了户外草地上。 她带了一只风筝。 “罗杰斯先生可真好啊，”她说。 “我确实很喜欢放风筝。 不过我得赶紧回去了。 罗杰斯太太说不定需要我帮忙呢。”

Sure enough, Mrs. Rogers was calling, "Amelia Bedelia." "Here I am," said Amelia Bedelia. "There's a lot to do," said Mrs. Rogers. "Do you know how to make bread?" "I make good corn bread," said Amelia Bedelia. "No, I want white bread," said Mrs. Rogers. "You are a good cook. Just do what the recipe says." "All right," said Amelia Bedelia. "Here's a list of the other things I want you to do," said Mrs. Rogers. "I'll be out until dinner time." "Don't worry," said Amelia Bedelia. "I'll get everything done." Mrs. Rogers left.

果然没错，罗杰斯太太正在喊她：“阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚。” “我在这儿呢，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “今天有好多事要做，”罗杰斯太太说。 “你会做面包吗？” “我玉米面包做得可好了，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “不，我要做白面包，”罗杰斯太太说。 “你可是个好厨师。 照着食谱做就可以了。” “好的，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “这是我给你列的其他要做的事，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我要出门，晚饭时间才回来。” “别担心，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我会把所有事都做好的。” 罗杰斯太太出门了。
