Horrid Henry Minds his Manners

Horrid Henry minds his manners. Henry and Peter, you've got mail, said Mum. Henry and Peter thundered down the stairs. Horrid Henry snatched his letter and tore open the green envelope. The foul stink of mouldy socks wafted out.

淘气包亨利守规矩啦。 妈妈说：“亨利、彼得，你们有邮件哦。” 亨利和彼得咚咚咚地冲下了楼梯。 淘气包亨利一把抓过自己的信，撕开了绿色的信封。 一股发霉臭袜子的恶臭味飘了出来。

Yo, Henry, Marvin the Maniac here. You sound just like the kind of crazy guy we went on Gross Out. Be at TV Centre next Saturday at 9am and Gross us out. It's a live broadcast so anything can happen. Marvin. I've been invited to be a contestant on Gross Out! screamed Henry, dancing up and down the Thomas and Tapioca Tina while eating as much ice cream as I can. Absolutely not, said Mum. You will not go on that disgusting show. Agreed, said Dad. That show is revolting. It's meant to be revolting, said Horrid Henry. That's the point. N -O spells no, said Mum.

“哟，亨利，我是疯子马文。你听上去正好是我们要找的那种疯小子，来上 《恶心大挑战》。下周六上午9点到电视中心来，把我们恶够呛就行。这是直播哦， 什么状况都可能发生。马文留。” 亨利在原地蹦来蹦去，尖叫道：“我被邀请去《恶心大挑战》当选手啦！” 我要一边猛吃冰淇淋，一边打败托马斯和木薯蒂娜！ 妈妈说：“绝对不行，你不能去上那个恶心的节目。” 爸爸说：“我同意，那个节目太倒胃口了。” 淘气包亨利说：“本来就是要倒胃口啊，这才是节目的看点嘛。” 妈妈说：“不-行，就是不行。”

You're the meanest, most horrible parents in the whole world!' screamed Henry. I hate you! He threw himself on the sofa and wailed, I want to be on gross out! I want to be on gross out! Perfect Peter opened his letter. The sweet smell of lavender wafted out.

亨利尖叫道：“你们是全世界最小气、最讨厌的爸妈！” “我恨你们！” 他扑到沙发上大哭大闹， “我要上《恶心大挑战》！” “我要上《恶心大挑战》！” 乖乖仔彼得打开了他的信。 一股薰衣草的甜香味飘了出来。

Dear Peter, what a wonderful letter you wrote on the importance of perfect manners. As a reward I would like to invite you to be my special guest on the live broadcast of Manners with Maggie next Saturday at TV Centre at 9am. You'll be showing the girls and boys at home how to fold a hanky perfectly, how to hold a knife and fork elegantly and how to eat spaghetti beautifully with a fork and spoon. I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and to enjoying your lovely manners in person. Sincerely, Maggie. I've been invited to appear on Manners with Maggie, said Peter beaming. That's wonderful, Peter, said Mum. She hugged him. I'm so proud of you, said Dad. He hugged him. Horrid Henry stopped screaming.

“亲爱的彼得，你写的那封关于完美礼仪重要性的信写得太棒了。作为 奖励，我想邀请你下周六上午9点到电视中心，来当我的《和玛吉学礼仪》 直播节目的特邀嘉宾。你要给电视机前的小朋友们展示 怎么完美折手帕，怎么优雅拿刀叉，还有怎么 用叉子和勺子吃得意面干干净净。我非常期待见到 你，也期待亲身感受你得体的礼仪。诚挚的，玛吉。” 彼得笑得满脸灿烂：“我被邀请去《和玛吉学礼仪》做客啦。” 妈妈说：“太棒啦，彼得。”说着抱了抱他。 爸爸说：“我真为你骄傲。”说着也抱了抱他。 淘气包亨利突然不嚷嚷了。

That's not fair, said Henry. If Peter can be on his favourite TV show, why can't I be on mine? Mum and Dad looked at each other. I suppose he does have a point, said Dad. He sighed. And we don't have to tell anyone he's on, said Mum. She sighed. All right, Henry, you can be a contestant. Yippee! squealed Henry, stomping on the sofa and doing his victory jig. I'm going to be a star! Gross out, here I come! The great day arrived at last. Horrid Henry had been practising so hard with his goo -shooter he could hit perfect Peter's nose at thirty paces. He'd also been practising shovelling ice -cream into his mouth as fast as he could until Mum caught him.

亨利说：“这不公平。彼得能上他最喜欢的电视节目，我为什么不能上我的？” 爸爸妈妈对视了一眼。 爸爸叹了口气说：“我觉得他说得也有道理。” 妈妈叹了口气说：“而且我们也不用告诉别人他上了这个节目嘛。” “好吧，亨利，你可以去当选手。” 亨利欢呼道：“耶！”他在沙发上蹦来蹦去，跳着他的胜利舞。 “我要当明星啦！《恶心大挑战》，我来啦！” 期待已久的日子终于到了。 淘气包亨利苦练粘弹发射器，已经能在三十步外打中乖乖仔彼得的鼻子了。 他还一直在练习尽可能快地把冰淇淋塞嘴里，直到被妈妈抓个正着。
