淘气包亨利 · Horrid Henry's Nits
Horrid Henry and the Fang Mangler. Horrid Henry snatched his skeleton bank and tried to twist open the trap door. Mum was taking him to toy heaven tomorrow. At last Henry would be able to buy the toy of his dreams, a dungeon drink kit. Ha ha ha! The tricks he'd play on his family, substituting their drinks for dungeon stinkers.
《淘气包亨利与尖牙怪兽》 淘气包亨利一把抓过他的骷髅存钱罐,使劲想拧开罐底的取币口。 明天妈妈就要带他去玩具天堂啦。 亨利终于能买到他梦寐以求的玩具——地牢饮品套装了。 哈哈哈!他要好好捉弄家人,把他们喝的饮料换成地牢臭水。
Best of all, moody Margaret would be green with envy. She wanted a dungeon drink kit, too, but she didn't have any money. He'd have one first, and no way was Margaret ever going to play with it. Except for buying the occasional sweet and a few comics, Henry had been saving his money for weeks. Perfect Peter peeked round the door. I've saved seven pounds fifty -three pence, said Peter proudly, jingling his piggy bank. More than enough to buy my nature kit. How much do you have? Millions, said Henry. Perfect Peter gasped. You do not, said Peter. Do you? Henry shook his bank. A thin rattle came from within. That doesn't sound like millions, said Peter.
最棒的是,坏脾气的玛格丽特肯定会嫉妒死的。她也想要一套地牢饮品套装, 可她一分钱都没有。他要第一个买到,玛格丽特想都别想 碰他的套装。除了偶尔买颗糖、买几本漫画之外,亨利一直在攒钱 攒了好几个礼拜了。 乖乖彼得从门后探出头来。 我已经攒了7英镑53便士啦,彼得晃着他的小猪存钱罐,骄傲地说。 买我的自然观察套装绰绰有余。你攒了多少呀? 几百万呢,亨利说。 乖乖彼得倒吸一口凉气。 你才没有呢,彼得说。真的有吗? 亨利晃了晃存钱罐,里面传来稀稀拉拉的咔嗒声。 听起来不像有几百万呀,彼得说。
That's cause five pound notes don't rattle stupid, said Henry. Mum, Henry called me stupid, shrieked Peter. Stop being horrid, Henry, shouted Mum. Horrid Henry gave the lid of his bank a final yank and spilled the contents onto the floor. A single, solitary, five pence coin rolled out.
那是因为五英镑的钞票晃起来不会响啊,笨蛋,亨利说。 妈妈,亨利骂我笨蛋,彼得尖叫道。 别淘气,亨利,妈妈大声喊道。 淘气包亨利最后使劲一拽存钱罐的盖子,把里面的东西全倒在了地上。 滚出来的只有孤零零一枚5便士的硬币。
Henry's jaw dropped. He grabbed the bank and fumbled around inside. It was empty. I'm being robbed! howled, hurried Henry. Where's my money? Who stole my money? Mum ran into the room full of fuss. Peter stole my money! screamed Henry. He glared at his brother. Just wait till I get my hands on you, you little thief! No one stole your money, Henry! said Mum. You've spent it all on sweets and comics. I have not! shrieked Henry. Mum pointed at the enormous pile of comics and sweet wrappers littering the floor of Henry's bedroom. What's all that then? asked Mum.
亨利惊得下巴都掉了。他抓过存钱罐,伸手进去摸了又摸,里面是空的。 我被抢啦!急疯了的亨利大吼道。我的钱呢?谁偷了我的钱? 妈妈慌慌张张跑进房间。彼得偷了我的钱!亨利尖叫道。 他恶狠狠地盯着弟弟:等我抓住你你就完蛋了,你个小小偷! 没人偷你的钱,亨利!妈妈说,你全用来买糖和漫画了。 我没有!亨利尖叫道。 妈妈指了指亨利卧室地板上堆得小山似的漫画和糖纸。 那这些是什么呀?妈妈问。
Horrid Henry stopped shrieking. It was true. He had spent all his pocket money on comics and sweets. He just hadn't noticed. It's not fair! he screamed. I saved all my pocket money, Mum, said Perfect Peter. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned. Mum smiled at him. Well done, Peter. Henry, let this be a lesson to you.
淘气包亨利不叫了。是真的,他把所有零花钱都花在买漫画 和糖上了,只是他自己没注意到而已。 这不公平!他大喊道。 我把所有零花钱都攒下来了,妈妈,乖乖彼得说。毕竟,省一分就是赚一分 呀。 妈妈冲他笑了笑。 做得好,彼得。亨利,你可得吸取这个教训。
