Horrid Henry Reads a Book

Hurry Henry's stink bomb by Francesca Simon read by Miranda Richardson

《匆匆亨利的臭屁炸弹》 作者：弗朗西斯卡·西蒙 朗读者：米兰达·理查森

Horrid Henry reads a book. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Miss Battle -Axe droned on and on about something, rather. Horrid Henry drew pictures of crocodiles tucking into a juicy Battle -Axe snack in his maths book. Snap! Off went her head. Yank! Bye -bye, leg. Crunch! Ta -ta, teeth. Yum -yum. Henry's crocodile had a big fat smile on its face. Blah, blah, blah, books. Blah, blah, blah, read. Blah, blah, blah, prize. Blah, blah. Prize? Horrid Henry stopped doodling. What prize? He shrieked.

淘气包亨利在看书。 吧啦吧啦吧啦吧啦吧啦。 战斧老师唠唠叨叨地讲着什么。 淘气包亨利画了鳄鱼大口啃战斧老师味的多汁小零食，画在他的数学 书上。 咔嚓！ 她的脑袋掉啦。 刺啦！ 再见啦，小短腿。 嘎嘣！ 拜拜啦，小牙齿。 真好吃呀。 亨利画的鳄鱼脸上挂着大大的满足笑容。 吧啦吧啦吧啦，书籍。 吧啦吧啦吧啦，阅读。 吧啦吧啦吧啦，奖品。 吧啦吧啦。 奖品？ 淘气包亨利停下了乱画的笔。 什么奖品？ 他尖叫起来。

Don't shout out, Henry!' snapped Miss Battle -Axe. Horrid Henry waved his hand and shouted, What price? Well, Henry, if you'd been paying attention instead of scribbling, you'd know, wouldn't you?' said Miss Battle -Axe. Horrid Henry scowled, Typical teacher, you're interested enough in what they're saying to ask a question, and suddenly they don't want to answer. So, class, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, she glared at Horrid Henry, you'll have two weeks to read as many books as you can for our school reading competition. Whoever reads the most books will win an exciting prize, a very exciting prize. But remember, a book report on every book on your list, please.

“亨利，别乱喊！”战斧老师厉声说。 淘气包亨利挥着手大喊， 什么奖品？ “哼，亨利，你要是刚才没乱画认真听讲，你就知道了，不是 吗？”战斧老师说。 淘气包亨利皱起了脸， 老师都这样，你好不容易对他们说的话感兴趣提问， 他们反倒不愿意回答了。 “好了同学们，刚才我被粗鲁打断之前说到，”她瞪了淘气包亨利一眼， “学校要办阅读比赛，你们有两周时间尽可能多读书。” “谁读的书最多，就能赢一份超棒的奖品，超级超级棒的奖品。” “但记住哦，你清单上的每本书都要写读书报告哦。”

Oh, the reading competition. Horrid Henry slumped in his chair. Phewee! Reading was hard, heavy work. Just turning the pages made Henry feel exhausted. Why couldn't they ever do fun competitions, like whose tummy could rumble the loudest, or who shouted out the most in class, or who knew the rudest words? Horrid Henry would win those competitions every time. But no, Miss Battle -Axe would never have a fun competition. Well, no way was he taking part in a reading contest. Henry would just have to watch someone undeserving, like Clever Clare or Brainy Brian, and swagger off with the prize while he sat priceless. At the back, it was so unfair.

哦，原来是阅读比赛啊。 淘气包亨利瘫回椅子上。 哎哟喂！ 读书可是超累超难的活儿啊。 光是翻书页都能把亨利累坏。 为啥他们就不办点好玩的比赛，比如谁肚子叫得最大声， 或者谁上课最爱喊，或者谁知道的调皮话最多？ 这些比赛淘气包亨利次次都能拿第一。 可偏偏不行，战斧老师从来不会办好玩的比赛。 哼，他才不要参加什么阅读比赛呢。 亨利只能眼睁睁看着不该得奖的人拿奖，比如聪明克莱尔或者学霸布莱恩， 大摇大摆把奖品拿走，他只能坐在一旁啥也没有。 这也太不公平了吧。

What's the prize? shouted Moody Margaret. Probably something awful like a pencil case, thought Horrid Henry, or a bumper pack of school tea towels. Sweets! shouted Greedy Graham. A million pounds! shouted Rude Ralph. Clothes! shouted Gorgeous Gurinder. A skateboard! shouted Aerobic Al. A hamster! said Actress Andrew. Silence! bellowed Miss Battle Axe. The prize is a family ticket to a brand new theme park. Horrid Henry sat up. A theme park! Oh wow! He loved theme parks! Roller coasters, water rides, candy floss.

“奖品是什么呀？”暴脾气玛格丽特大喊。 估计是什么破玩意儿，比如铅笔盒，淘气包亨利心想，要么就是一大包 学校用的擦茶巾。 “糖果！”贪吃鬼格雷厄姆大喊。 “一百万英镑！”莽撞鬼拉尔夫大喊。 “新衣服！”漂亮姑娘格林德大喊。 “滑板！”运动健将阿尔大喊。 “仓鼠！”小演员安德鲁说。 “安静！”战斧老师怒吼道。 “奖品是全新主题公园的全家套票一张。” 淘气包亨利瞬间坐直了身子。 主题公园！哇哦！他超爱主题公园的！ 过山车，水上项目，还有棉花糖。
