Horrid Henry’s Homework

Horrid Henry's Homework Ahh! Thought Horrid Henry He turned on the TV and stretched out School was over What could be better than lying on the sofa all afternoon Eating crisps and watching TV? Wasn't life grand? Then Mum came in She did not look like a mum who thought life was grand She looked like a mum on the warpath Against boys who lay on sofas all afternoon Eating crisps and watching TV Get your feet off the sofa, Henry! said Mum Mmm, grunted Henry Stop giving crisps everywhere! snapped Mum

淘气包亨利的家庭作业 啊！ 淘气包亨利心想 他打开电视，舒舒服服伸了个懒腰 放学啦 有什么能比整个下午窝在沙发上 边吃薯片边看电视更惬意的呀？ 这日子也太美好了吧？ 这时候妈妈走了进来 她看起来可不觉得日子美好 她看上去正憋着一肚子火 专门要找那种整个下午瘫在沙发上 边吃薯片边看电视的小男孩算账 "把你的脚从沙发上拿开，亨利！"妈妈说 "嗯。"亨利哼哼了一声 "别把薯片渣掉得到处都是！"妈妈厉声说

"'Hm?' grunted Henry. "'Have you done your homework, Henry?' said Mum. Henry didn't answer. "'Henry!' shouted Mum. "'What?' shouted Henry. "'Have you done your homework?' "'What homework?' said Henry. He kept his eyes glued to the TV. "'Go, mutants!' he screeched. "'The five spelling -words you're meant to learn tonight,' said Mum. "'Hm?' said Henry. "'That homework.' Horrid Henry hated homework. He had far better things to do with his precious time than learn how to spell zipper or work out the answer to six times seven. For weeks Henry's homework sheets had ended up in the recycling box until Dad found them. Henry swore he had no idea how they got there and blamed Fluffy the cat. But since then Mum and Dad had checked his school bag every day.

"啊？"亨利嘟囔道 "你作业写完了吗，亨利？"妈妈问 亨利没吭声 "亨利！"妈妈大喊 "干嘛？"亨利也喊了回去 "你作业写完了吗？" "什么作业？"亨利说 他眼睛死死黏在电视上 "冲啊，变种人！"他尖声喊着 "就是你今晚要学的五个拼写单词呀。"妈妈说 "啊？"亨利说 "就是那个作业。" 淘气包亨利最讨厌写作业了 他宝贵的时间可有好多好玩的事要做，才不想学怎么拼“拉链”，也不想算六乘七等于几 好几个礼拜，亨利的作业纸都直接丢去了回收箱，直到被爸爸发现 亨利发誓他完全不知道作业怎么会跑到那里去，还把锅甩给了小猫毛毛 不过从那以后，爸爸妈妈每天都要检查他的书包

Mum snatched the zapper and switched off the telly. Hey, I'm watching, said Henry. When are you going to do your homework, Henry? said Mum. Soon, screamed Henry. He'd just returned from a long, hard day at school. Couldn't he have any peace around here? When he was king, anyone who said the word homework would get thrown to the crocodiles.

妈妈一把抢过遥控器，关掉了电视 "喂，我还在看呢！"亨利说 "你打算什么时候写作业呀，亨利？"妈妈问 "马上就写！"亨利大吼 他刚在学校辛苦了一整天才回家 就不能让他消停会儿吗？ 等他当上了国王，谁要是敢说“作业”两个字，就把谁扔去喂鳄鱼

I had a phone call today from Miss Battleaxe,' said Mum. She said you got a zero in the last ten spelling tests. That's not my fault,' said Henry. First I lost the words, then I forgot, then I couldn't read my writing, then I copied the words wrong, then I don't want to hear any more silly excuses,' said Mum. Do you know your spelling words for tomorrow? Yes,' lied Henry. Where's the list? Mum asked. I don't know,' said Henry. Find it, or no TV, for a month, said Mum. It's not fair, muttered Henry, digging the crumpled spelling list out of his pocket. Mum looked at it. There's going to be a test tomorrow, she said. How do you spell goat?

"我今天接到了战斧老师的电话哦。"妈妈说 她说你最近十次拼写测验全都考了零分 "那不是我的错呀！"亨利说 先是我把单词表弄丢了，然后我忘了要考，再后来我自己写的字我认不出来，还有我抄的时候 抄错单词了，然后……"我不想再听这些傻借口了。"妈妈说 你明天要考的拼写单词都学会了吗？ "学会啦。"亨利撒谎了 单词表在哪？ 妈妈问 "我不知道呀。"亨利说 "去找出来，不然一个月都不许看电视。"妈妈说 "这不公平。"亨利嘟囔着，从口袋里掏出皱巴巴的单词表 妈妈看了看单词表 "明天就要测验了哦。"她说 "山羊这个单词怎么拼？"

Don't you know her, Mum?' asked Henry. Henry said Mum. Henry scowled. I'm busy, moaned Henry. I promise I'll tell you right after Mutant Madman. It's my favourite show. How do you spell goat? said Mum. G -O -T -E, snapped Henry. Wrong, said Mum. What about boat? Why do I have to do this? wailed Henry. Because it's your homework, said Mum. You have to learn how to spell. But why, said Henry, I never write letters. Because, said Mum. Now spell boat. B -O -T -T -E, said Henry. No more TV until you do your homework, said Mum.

"妈妈你不认识她吗？"亨利故意装傻问 "亨利。"妈妈喊他 亨利皱起了脸 "我忙着呢。"亨利哼哼唧唧地说 我保证等《变种狂人》演完我马上告诉你 那是我最喜欢的节目呀 "山羊怎么拼？"妈妈又问 "G-O-T-E。"亨利不耐烦地说 "错了。"妈妈说 "那船这个单词呢？" "我干嘛要学这个呀？" 亨利哭丧着脸喊 "因为这是你的作业呀。"妈妈说 你得学会怎么拼写单词呀 "可是为什么呀？"亨利说，"我又从来不写信。" "没有为什么。"妈妈说 "现在拼船这个词。" "B-O-T-T-E。"亨利说 "你不写完作业就别想看电视了。"妈妈说
