Horrid Henry’s New Teacher

HURRIED HENRY'S NEW TEACHER Now, Henry, said Dad, today is the first day of school, a chance for a fresh start with a new teacher. Yeah, yeah, scowled HURRIED HENRY. He hated the first day of term. Another year, another teacher to show who was boss. His first teacher, Miss Marvel, had run screaming from the classroom after two weeks. His next teacher, Mrs. Zip, had run screaming from the classroom after one day. Breaking in new teachers wasn't easy, thought Henry, but someone had to do it.

急脾气亨利的新老师 “听着，亨利，”爸爸说，“今天是开学第一天，你有机会和 新老师重新开始哦。 “知道了知道了，”急脾气亨利皱着眉头嘟囔。 他最讨厌开学第一天了。 新的一年，又得给新老师瞧瞧谁才是老大。 他的第一个老师马维尔小姐，才两周就尖叫着冲出了教室。 下一个老师齐普太太，才一天就尖叫着跑出了教室。 搞定新老师可不容易哦，亨利想，但总得有人干这事呀。

Dad got out a piece of paper and waved it. Henry, I never want to read another school report like this again, he said. Why can't your school reports be like Peter's? Henry started whistling. Pay attention, Henry! shouted Dad. This is important. Look at this report. Henry's school report. It has been horrible teaching Henry this year. He is rude, lazy and disruptive. The worst student I have ever taught. Behaviour horrid. English horrid. Maths horrid. Science horrid. P .E. horrid.

爸爸掏出一张纸晃了晃。 “亨利，我再也不想看到这样的成绩单了，”他说。 “你的成绩单怎么就不能学学彼得的？” 亨利吹起了口哨。 “认真听我说话，亨利！”爸爸吼道。 这事很重要。 你看看这张成绩单。 亨利的成绩单。 今年教亨利简直是场灾难。 他粗鲁、懒惰，还爱捣乱。 是我教过的最差的学生。 行为表现：极差。 英语：极差。 数学：极差。 科学：极差。 体育：极差。

What about my report? said Perfect Peter. Dad beamed. Your report was perfect, Peter, said Dad. Keep up the wonderful work. Peter's school report. It has been a pleasure teaching Peter this year. He is polite, hardworking and cooperative. The best student I have ever taught. Behaviour? Perfect. English? Perfect. Maths? Perfect. Science? Perfect. P .E. Perfect. Peter smiled proudly. You just have to try harder, Henry, said Peter, smirking.

“那我的成绩单呢？”完美彼得问道。爸爸满脸笑容。 “彼得，你的成绩单太完美了，”爸爸说，“继续加油哦。” 彼得的成绩单。 今年教彼得实在太愉快了。 他有礼貌、学习用功，还特别合群。 是我教过的最好的学生。 行为表现？完美。 英语？完美。 数学？完美。 科学？完美。 体育？完美。 彼得骄傲地笑了。 “你得再加把劲呀，亨利。”彼得坏笑着说。

Horrid Henry was a shark sinking his teeth into a drowning sailor. Owwwww! shrieked Peter. Henry bit me! Don't be horrid Henry! shouted Dad. Or no TV for a week. I don't care muttered Henry. When he became king he'd make it a law that parents not children had to go to school. Horrid Henry pushed and shoved his way into class and grabbed the seat next to Rude Ralph. Na na na na, I've got a new football! said Ralph. Henry didn't have a football. He kicked his through Moody Margaret's window. Who cares? said Horrid Henry.

淘气包亨利像鲨鱼一样，一口咬住了落水的水手。 “啊啊啊！”彼得尖叫起来，“亨利咬我！” “不许淘气，亨利！”爸爸吼道，“不然一周不许看电视。” “我才不在乎。”亨利嘟囔着。 等他当上国王，就立法规定上学的是家长不是小孩。 淘气包亨利挤挤撞撞冲进教室，抢到了粗鲁拉尔夫旁边的座位。 “啦啦啦啦，我有新足球啦！”拉尔夫说。 亨利没有足球，他的那只被他踢碎了暴躁玛格丽特家的窗户。 “谁稀罕。”淘气包亨利说。

The classroom door slammed. It was Mr. Nerdon, the toughest, meanest, nastiest teacher in the school. Silence, he said, glaring at them with his bulging eyes. I don't want to hear a sound. I don't even want to hear anyone breathe. The class held its breath. Good, he growled. I'm Mr. Nerdon. Henry snorted. What a stupid name. Nerd, he whispered to Ralph. Rude Ralph giggled. Nerdy nerd, whispered Horrid Henry, snickering. Mr. Nerdon walked up to Henry and jammed his finger in his face. Quiet, you horrible boy, said Mr. Nerdon. I've got my eye on you. Oh, yes. I've heard about your other teachers. Bah! I'm made of stronger stuff. There will be no nonsense in my class.

教室门“哐当”一声被撞开，进来的是纳登先生，全校最严厉、最凶、最讨人厌的 老师。 “安静，”他瞪着凸出来的眼睛扫视大家，“我不想听到一丁点声音。” “我连你们呼吸的声音都不想听见。” 全班都屏住了呼吸。 “很好。”他低吼道。 “我是纳登老师。” 亨利嗤笑了一声，这名字也太傻了吧。 “书呆子。”他凑到拉尔夫耳边小声说，粗鲁拉尔夫咯咯笑了起来。 “呆头呆脑的书呆子。”淘气包亨利窃笑着小声说。 纳登老师走到亨利面前，一根手指戳到他脸上。 “安静，你这个坏孩子。”纳登老师说。 “我盯着你呢，没错，就是你。” “我听说过你前几任老师的事了。” “呵！我可比他们耐造多了。” “我的班里不许搞任何幺蛾子。”
