《淘气包亨利》，作者：弗朗西斯卡·西蒙 朗读：米兰达·理查德森

Horrid Henry's Perfect Day Henry was horrid. Everyone said so, even his mother. Henry threw food, Henry snatched, Henry pushed and shoved and pinched. Even his teddy avoided him when possible. His parents despaired. What are we going to do about that horrid boy? sighed Mum. How did two people as nice as us have such a horrid child? sighed Dad. When horrid Henry's parents took Henry to school, they walked behind him and pretended he was not theirs.

淘气包亨利的完美一天 亨利是个小淘气，所有人都这么说，连他妈妈也不例外。 亨利乱扔食物，抢东西，还推人、挤人、捏人。 就连他的泰迪熊都尽量躲着他。 他的爸妈愁坏了。 “我们该拿这个淘气的小家伙怎么办呀？”妈妈叹着气说。 “我们俩这么和善，怎么会生出这么淘气的孩子呀？”爸爸叹着气说。 淘气包亨利的爸妈送他上学时，都走在他后面，假装他不是自家孩子。

Children pointed at Henry and whispered to their parents, That's Horrid Henry! He's the boy who threw my jacket in the mud. He's the boy who swashed Billy's beetle. He's the boy who... Fill in whatever terrible deed you like. Horrid Henry was sure to have done it.

小朋友们都指着亨利，凑到爸妈耳边小声说： “那就是淘气包亨利！就是他把我的外套扔到泥里的。” “就是他踩扁了比利的甲壳虫。” “就是他……” 你能想到的所有调皮事， 淘气包亨利肯定都干过。

Hurried Henry had a younger brother. His name was Perfect Peter. Perfect Peter always said, Please and Thank you. Perfect Peter loved vegetables. Perfect Peter always used a hanky and never, ever picked his nose. Why can't you be perfect like Peter? said Henry's mum every day.

淘气包亨利有个弟弟，叫完美彼得。 完美彼得总是把“请”和“谢谢”挂在嘴边。 完美彼得爱吃蔬菜，总是随身带手帕，从来 都不挖鼻孔。 “你就不能像彼得一样懂事吗？”亨利的妈妈每天都这么说。

As usual, Henry pretended not to hear. He continued melting Peter's crayons on the radiator. But hurried Henry started to think. What if I were perfect? fooled Henry. I wonder what would happen. When Henry woke the next morning, he did not wake Peter by pouring water on Peter's head. Peter did not scream. This meant Henry's parents overslept and Henry and Peter were late for Cubs. Henry was very happy. Peter was very sad to be late for Cubs. But because he was perfect, Peter did not whine or complain.

和往常一样，亨利假装没听见。 他继续在暖气片上融彼得的蜡笔玩。 不过淘气包亨利突然琢磨起来： 要是我变乖了会怎么样？ 亨利打起了鬼主意。 我倒要看看会发生什么事。 第二天早上亨利醒了，没有往彼得头上倒水叫他起床。 彼得没有尖叫。 结果亨利的爸妈睡过了头，亨利和彼得上幼童军迟到了。 亨利可开心了。 幼童军迟到让彼得特别难过。 但他是乖孩子，彼得既没有哭闹也没有抱怨。
