Horrid Henry and the Demon Dinner Lady

Horrid Henry and the Demon Dinner Lady. You're not having a packed lunch and that's final! yelled dad. It's not fair! yelled Horrid Henry. Everyone in my class has a packed lunch! N -O spells no, said dad. It's too much work. And you never eat what I pack for you.

《调皮的亨利和恶魔打饭阿姨》 你不许带便当，就这么定了！ 爸爸吼道。 太不公平了！调皮的亨利大喊。 我们班所有人都带便当！ N-O就是不，爸爸说，太麻烦了。 再说你从来都不吃我给你装的东西。

But I hate school dinners !" screamed Henry. I'm being poisoned! He clutched his throat. Dessert today was blech! Fruit salad! And it had worms in it! I can feel them slithering in my stomach! Horrid Henry fell to the floor, gasping and rasping. Mum continued watching TV. Dad continued watching TV. I love school dinners, said Perfect Peter. They're so nutritious and delicious, especially those lovely spinach salads. Shut up, Peter! snarled Henry. Mum! wailed Peter. Henry told me to shut up!

“可我讨厌学校的饭！”亨利尖叫道。 我要被毒死了！ 他掐住自己的喉咙。 今天的甜点太恶心了！ 水果沙拉啊！ 里面还有虫子！ 我都能感觉到它们在我肚子里爬来爬去！ 调皮的亨利倒在地上，大口喘着粗气。 妈妈继续看电视。 爸爸继续看电视。 我喜欢学校的饭，乖宝宝彼得说。 它们又营养又好吃，尤其是那些美味的菠菜沙拉。 闭嘴，彼得！ 亨利怒吼道。 妈妈！ 彼得哭喊道。 亨利让我闭嘴！

Don't be horrid, Henry," said Mum. You're not having a packed lunch, and that's that. Horrid Henry and his parents had been fighting about packed lunches for weeks. Henry was desperate to have a packed lunch. Actually, he was desperate not to have a school dinner. Horrid Henry hated school dinners. The stinky smell, the terrible way Sloppy Sally ladled the food splat on his tray. So that most of it splashed all over him. And the food! Cueing for hours for revolting ravioli and squashed tomatoes. The lumpy custard, the blobby mashed potatoes. Horrid Henry could not bear it any longer.

“亨利，别调皮。”妈妈说。 你不许带便当，这事没得商量。 调皮的亨利和爸妈为了便当的事已经吵了好几个星期了。 亨利特别想自己带便当。 其实啊，他是特别不想吃学校的饭。 调皮的亨利讨厌死学校的饭了。 那股臭烘烘的味道，还有邋遢萨莉舀饭啪一下甩到他餐盘上的鬼样子。 结果大半食物都溅到他身上。 还有那吃的！ 排好几个小时的队，就为了领到难吃到吐的意大利饺和烂糊糊的番茄。 疙疙瘩瘩的蛋奶冻，稀烂不成形的土豆泥。 调皮的亨利再也受不了了。

Oh, please! said Henry, I'll make the packed lunch myself. Wouldn't that be great? He'd filled his lunch box with four packs of crisps, chocolate, doughnuts, cake, lollies, and one grape. Now that's what I call a real lunch, thought Henry. Mum sighed. Dad sighed. They looked at each other. If you promise that everything in your lunch box will get eaten, then I'll do a packed lunch for you, said Dad. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, said hurried Henry. Everything will get eaten, I promise. Just not by me, he thought gleefully. Packed lunch room, here I come. Food fights, food swaps, food fun at last. Yippee!

哦，求你了！亨利说，我自己装便当行不行。 那不是挺好的吗？ 他已经想好了要在便当盒里装四包薯片、巧克力、甜甜圈、蛋糕、棒棒糖， 还有一颗葡萄。 这才叫真正的午饭呢，亨利心里想。 妈妈叹了口气。 爸爸叹了口气。 他们对视了一眼。 如果你保证便当盒里的每一样东西都能吃完， 那我就给你装便当，爸爸说。 哦，谢谢，谢谢，太谢谢你了，亨利急急忙忙地说。 所有东西都会被吃完的，我保证。 只不过不是我吃而已，他美滋滋地想。 便当餐厅，我来啦。 扔食物大战，换好吃的，终于能享受吃饭的乐趣啦。 耶！

Horrid Henry strolled into the packed lunchroom. He was King Henry the Horrible, surveying his unruly subjects. All around him, children were screaming and shouting, pushing and shoving, throwing food and trading treats. Heaven! Horrid Henry smiled happily and opened his mutant Max lunchbox.

调皮的亨利晃悠着进了便当餐厅。他就是调皮大王亨利，正在巡视他那群不服管的臣民呢。 他周围全是小朋友，又叫又喊，推来挤去，扔食物的扔食物，换零食的换零食。 简直是天堂啊！ 调皮的亨利开心地笑了，打开了他的超级MAX便当盒。
