Horrid Henry's School Fair Henry, Peter, I need your donations to the school fair now. Mum was in a bad mood. She was helping Moody Margaret's mum organise the fair, and had been nagging Henry for ages to give away some of his old games and toys. Horrid Henry hated giving. He liked getting. Horrid Henry stood in his bedroom. Everything he owned was on the floor. How about giving away those bricks? said Mum. You never play with them any more. No! said Henry. They were bound to come in useful some day.

淘气包亨利的校园义卖会 亨利，彼得，快把你们要捐给校园义卖的东西拿给我。 妈妈的心情不太好。 她正帮着暴脾气玛格丽特的妈妈筹办这次义卖会， 已经念叨亨利好久了，要他捐点旧游戏和旧玩具出去。 淘气包亨利最讨厌往外拿东西了。 他就喜欢收东西。 淘气包亨利站在自己的卧室里。 他的所有东西都摊在地板上。 把那些积木捐出去好不好呀？妈妈问。 你早就不玩它们了呀。 不行！亨利说。 它们将来肯定还有用的。

Well, how about some soft toys? When was the last time you played with Spotty Dog?' No!' said Horrid Henry. He's mine!' Perfect Peter appeared in the doorway, dragging two enormous sacks. Here's my contribution to the school fair, Mum,' said Perfect Peter.

那，捐几个毛绒玩具呢？你上次玩斑点狗是什么时候啦？ 不行！淘气包亨利说，它是我的！ 乖乖仔彼得拖了两个超大的麻袋出现在门口。 妈妈，这是我捐给校园义卖的东西。乖乖仔彼得说。

Mum peeped inside the bags. "'Are you sure you want to give away so many toys?' said Mum. "'Yes,' said Peter. "'I'd like other children to have fun playing with them.' "'What a generous boy you are, Peter,' she said, giving him a big hug. Henry scowled. Peter could give away all his toys for all Henry cared. Henry wanted to keep everything. Wait! How could he have forgotten?' Henry reached under his bed and pulled out a large box hidden under a blanket. The box contained all the useless, horrible presents Henry had ever received. Packs of hankies, vests with ducks on them, a nature guide. Henry hated nature. Why would anyone want to waste their time looking at pictures of flowers and trees?'

妈妈往袋子里瞟了一眼。 你确定要捐这么多玩具吗？妈妈问。 是的呀。彼得说。 我想让别的小朋友也能开开心心玩它们呀。 彼得你可真是个大方的好孩子。妈妈说着，给了他一个大大的拥抱。 亨利皱起了眉头。 彼得就是把他所有玩具都捐了，亨利也不在乎。 亨利的每一样东西他都想留着。 等等！ 他怎么把那事儿忘了？ 亨利伸手到床底下，拖出一个藏在毯子下面的大盒子。 盒子里装的全是亨利收到过的没用的、讨厌的礼物。 一包包手帕、印着小鸭子的背心、还有一本自然科普书。 亨利最讨厌自然相关的东西了。 怎么会有人愿意浪费时间看那些花啊树啊的照片啊？

And then, right at the bottom, was the worst present of all. A walkie -talkie burpee -slurpee -teezy -weezy doll. He'd got it for Christmas from a great aunt he'd never met. The card she'd written was still attached. Dear Henrietta, I thought this doll would be perfect for a sweet little two -year -old like you. Take good care of your new baby. Love, great aunt Greta. Even worse, she'd sent Peter something brilliant.

然后，就在盒子最底下，放着最最讨厌的那个礼物。 一个会说话、会打嗝、会吧唧嘴、还会吱吱叫的洋娃娃。 这是他一个从没见过的姑婆送给他的圣诞礼物。 姑婆写的卡片还系在上面呢。 亲爱的亨丽埃塔，我觉得这个洋娃娃最适合你这样可爱的两岁小宝贝 啦。 好好照顾你的新宝宝哦。 爱你的姑婆格丽塔。 更气人的是，她送给彼得的东西超级棒。

Dear Pete, you must be a teenager by now and too old for toys, so here's twenty -five pounds. Don't spend it all on sweets. Love, Great -Aunt Greta.' Henry had screamed and begged, but Peter got to keep the money, and Henry was stuck with the doll. He was far too embarrassed to try to sell it, so the doll just lived hidden under his bed with all the other rotten gifts. "'Take that,' said Henry, giving the doll a kick. "'Mama, Mama, Mama,' burbled the doll. "'Baby burp!'

亲爱的小皮特，你现在肯定是个小大人啦，不爱玩玩具了，所以给你25英镑。 别全拿去买糖吃哦。爱你的姑婆格丽塔。 亨利又是尖叫又是求情，可钱还是归了彼得，他自己只能留下这个洋娃娃。 他实在不好意思把这个娃娃拿去卖，所以它就一直被藏在床底下 和其他没用的烂礼物待在一起。 给我走。亨利说着，踢了洋娃娃一脚。 “妈妈，妈妈，妈妈。”洋娃娃咿咿呀呀地叫着。 “宝宝打嗝咯！”
