Moody Margaret Moves In

Moody Margaret moves in.

坏脾气的玛格丽特搬来了。

Mum was on the phone. Of course we'd be delighted to have Margaret, she said. It would be no trouble at all. Henry stopped breaking the tails of Peter's plastic horses. What? he howled. Shhh, Henry, said Mum. No, no, no, she added. Henry is delighted too. See you Friday. What's going on? said Henry. Margaret is coming to stay while her parents go on holiday, said Mum.

妈妈正在打电话。 “我们当然很乐意接待玛格丽特呀，”她说，“一点都不麻烦的。” 亨利不再掰彼得的塑料小马尾巴了。 “什么？”他大吼道。 “嘘，亨利，”妈妈说，“不不不，”她补充道，“亨利也很高兴的。周五见哦。” “怎么回事啊？”亨利问。 “玛格丽特的爸妈去度假的时候，她要来咱们家住哦，”妈妈说。

Henry was speechless with horror. She's going to stay here? Yes, said Mum. How long? said Henry. Two weeks, said Mum, brightly. Horrid Henry could not stand moody Margaret for more than two minutes. Two weeks, he said. I'll run away. I'll lock her out of the house. I'll pull her hair out. I'll— Don't be horrid, Henry, said Mum. Margaret's a lovely girl, and I'm sure we'll have fun. No, we won't, said Henry. Not with that moody old grouch. I'll have fun, said Perfect Peter. I love having guests. She's not sleeping in my room, said horrid Henry. She can sleep in the cellar.

亨利吓得说不出话来。 她要住咱们家？ “是啊，”妈妈说。 “要住多久啊？”亨利问。 “两周哦，”妈妈开开心心地说。 淘气包亨利连两分钟都忍不了坏脾气的玛格丽特。 “两周？”他说。 我要离家出走。 我要把她锁在门外。 我要把她的头发扯光。 我要—— “别淘气，亨利，”妈妈说。 玛格丽特是个可爱的小姑娘，我们肯定会相处得很开心的。 “才不会，”亨利说。 有那个爱发脾气的小气鬼在，开心不了。 “我会很开心的，”乖乖仔彼得说。 我最喜欢家里来客人了。 “她不能睡我的房间，”淘气包亨利说。 她可以睡地窖去。

"'No,' said Mum, "'you move into Peter's room and let Margaret have your bed.' Horrid Henry opened his mouth to scream, but only a rasping sound came out. He was so appalled he could only gasp. "'Gif! Ah! My! Rome!' he choked. "'To Margaret?' Margaret, spying on his treasures, sleeping in his bed, playing with his toys while he had to share a room with Peter. "'Low!' howled Henry. He fell on the floor and screamed. "'Low!' "'I don't mind giving up my bed for a guest,' said Perfect Peter. "'It's the polite thing to do. Guests come first.' Henry stopped howling just long enough to kick Peter. "'Ow!' screamed Peter. He burst into tears. "'Mum!'

“不行哦，”妈妈说，“你搬到彼得的房间住，把你的床让给玛格丽特。” 淘气包亨利张大嘴要尖叫，结果只发出了嘶哑的声音。 他吓坏了，只能大口喘气。 “给！” “啊！” “我！” “的房间！”他憋得结巴着说。 “给玛格丽特？” 玛格丽特要偷看他的宝贝，睡他的床，玩他的玩具，而他 还得和彼得挤一个房间。 “太过分了！”亨利大吼。 他倒在地上尖叫起来。 “太过分了！” “我不介意把我的床让给客人哦，”乖乖仔彼得说。 这是有礼貌的做法呀。 客人优先嘛。 亨利停下尖叫，腾出空来踹了彼得一脚。 “哎哟！”彼得尖叫起来。 他哇的一下就哭了。 “妈妈！”

Henry! yelled mum. You horrid boy! Say sorry to Peter. She's not coming! shrieked Henry. And that's final! Go to your room! yelled mum. Moody Margaret arrived at Henry's house with her parents, four suitcases, seven boxes of toys, two pillows and a trumpet. Margaret won't be any trouble! said her mum. She's always polite, eats everything and never complains. Isn't that right, precious? Yes, said Margaret. Margaret's no fuss pot! said her dad. She's good as gold! Aren't you, precious? Yes, said Margaret. Have a lovely holiday! said mum.

“亨利！”妈妈大喊，“你这个淘气包！快给彼得道歉。” “她不许来！”亨利尖叫道，“我说了算！” “回你房间去！”妈妈大吼。 坏脾气的玛格丽特和爸妈一起来到亨利家，带了四个行李箱、七箱玩具、两个枕头还有一把小号。 “玛格丽特不会添麻烦的！”她妈妈说，“她一直都很有礼貌，不挑食，也从来不抱怨，对不对呀，宝贝？” “对呀，”玛格丽特说。 “玛格丽特一点都不挑！”她爸爸说，“她乖得很！对不对呀，宝贝？” “对呀，”玛格丽特说。 “祝你们度假愉快哦！”妈妈说。

"'We will,' said Margaret's parents. The door slammed behind them. Moody Margaret marched into the sitting -room and swept her finger across the mantelpiece. "'It's not very clean, is it?' she said. You'd never find so much dust at my house.' "'Oh,' said Dad. "'Little dust never hurt anyone,' said Mum. "'I'm allergic,' said Margaret. "'One whiff of dust and I start to—' "'She sneezed. "'We'll clean up right away,' said Mum.' Dad mopped. Mum swept. Peter dusted. Henry hoovered. Margaret directed.

“我们会的，”玛格丽特的爸妈说。 他们身后的门砰的一声关上了。 坏脾气的玛格丽特大步走进客厅，用手指扫过壁炉台。 “这地方不太干净呀，是不是？”她说。 我家从来都不会有这么多灰的。 “哦，”爸爸说。 “一点点灰而已，伤不了人的，”妈妈说。 “我对灰尘过敏，”玛格丽特说。 “只要吸进一点灰，我就会——” 她打了个喷嚏。 “我们马上就打扫，”妈妈说。 爸爸拖地。 妈妈扫地。 彼得擦灰。 亨利用吸尘器吸地。 玛格丽特在旁边指挥。
