Mrs. Rogers was all in a dither. Great Aunt Myra is coming today. Now that is nice, said Amelia Bedelia. I do love company.

罗杰斯太太急得团团转。 迈拉大姑妈今天要过来啦。 那可太好了呀，阿米莉亚·比迪莉亚说。 我最喜欢有客人来啦。

We've been trying for years to get her to visit," said Mrs. Rogers, but Great Aunt Myra says the only place she feels at home is at home, so everything must be exactly right. We do want her to be happy here. Now don't you worry your head, said Amelia Bedelia. I'll fix everything. What should I do first?

我们盼了好多年才盼到她愿意来做客，罗杰斯太太说， 可是迈拉大姑妈说，唯一能让她觉得自在的地方 就是她自己家，所以咱们这儿所有东西都得安排得妥妥当当的。 我们真的希望她在这儿过得开心。 哎呀你就别操心啦，阿米莉亚·比迪莉亚说。 我会把所有事都安排好的。我先做什么呀？

Well, the guest room must be made ready. Strip the sheets off the bed. Remake it with the new rose bud sheets," said Mrs. Rogers. Thank goodness you're here.

嗯，客房得先收拾好。把床上的床单撤下来，换上新的玫瑰花蕾图案的床单，罗杰斯太太说。 多亏有你在这儿呀。

Amelia Bedelia went to the guest room. These folks do have odd ways. Imagine stripping sheets after you use them.

阿米莉亚·比迪莉亚走到客房。 这家人的规矩可真奇怪。 居然用完床单还要把它撤下来。

Amelia Bedelia shook her head, but she stripped those sheets.

阿米莉亚·比迪莉亚摇了摇头，不过还是把那些床单都撤下来了。
