When Amelia Bedelia arrived for work, she could not believe her eyes. "Oh my gosh," said Amelia Bedelia. "What has happened to the house?"

阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚来上班的时候，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 “我的天呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “房子出什么事了？”

"This is terrible," said Amelia Bedelia. "Mr. and Mrs. Rogers must need me. Someone has ruined their house." She ran to the front door.

“这太糟糕了，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “罗杰斯先生和罗杰斯太太肯定需要我帮忙。 有人把他们的房子毁了。” 她朝前门跑了过去。

"Aghhh!" yelled Amelia Bedelia. "Help!" Mr. and Mrs. Rogers rushed outside. "Hold still," said Mrs. Rogers. "I will get the bats out of your belfry." "Ha!" said Mr. Rogers. "That would be a full-time job. She has made me bats for years." "You are untangled, Amelia Bedelia," said Mrs. Rogers. "Come inside and relax."

“啊！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚大叫起来。 “救命啊！” 罗杰斯先生和罗杰斯太太赶紧冲到外面。 “别动，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我来把你帽子上的蝙蝠弄下来。” “哈！”罗杰斯先生说。 “那可得是全职工作才行。 这么多年她可没少让我闹心。” “你解开啦，阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚，”罗杰斯太太说。 “进来放松放松吧。”

"Wow," said Amelia Bedelia. "Who wrecked your house?" "We did," said Mrs. Rogers. "We are getting ready for Halloween." "Is that tonight?" said Amelia Bedelia. "How did you forget?" said Mr. Rogers. "Those bats on the front porch must have made you batty."

“哇，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “谁把你们家弄成这样的呀？” “我们自己弄的，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我们在为万圣节做准备呢。” “万圣节是今天晚上吗？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你怎么会忘了呀？”罗杰斯先生说。 “前门廊的那些蝙蝠肯定把你弄糊涂啦。”

"Sorry," said Amelia Bedelia. "I have been very busy. I was at school helping children make their costumes." "Good for you," said Mrs. Rogers. "We invited all of our neighbors for a Halloween party. And you, too. Tonight, the best costume wins a prize." "Gosh," said Amelia Bedelia. "Your house looks so spooky." "Thank you," said Mrs. Rogers. "The spookier the better." "That is the idea," said Mr. Rogers.

“对不起嘛，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我最近太忙啦。 我去学校帮小朋友们做服装来着。” “你真棒呀，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我们邀请了所有邻居来参加万圣节派对。 也邀请了你哦。 今晚最好的服装能赢奖品哦。” “天呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你们家看起来好阴森好吓人呀。” “谢谢夸奖，”罗杰斯太太说。 “越吓人越好呀。” “就是这个意思，”罗杰斯先生说。
