Horrid Henry's Sleepover

Horrid Henry's sleepover. Snoring Horrid Henry loved sleepovers. Midnight feasts, pillow fights, screaming and shouting, rampaging till dawn. The time he ate all the ice cream at Greedy Graham's and left the freezer door open. The time he jumped on all the beds at Dizzy Dave's and broke them all. And that time at Rude Ralph's when he... well... perhaps better not mention that. There was just one problem. No one would ever have Horrid Henry at their house for a sleepover more than once. Whenever Henry went to sleep at a friend's house, Mum and Dad were sure to get a call at 3am from a demented parent, screaming at them to pick up Henry immediately.

淘气包亨利的留宿派对 呼噜呼噜 淘气包亨利可喜欢留宿派对啦 夜宵大餐、枕头大战， 大喊大叫、吵吵闹闹， 疯玩到天亮才罢休。 上次他在贪吃鬼格雷厄姆家吃光了所有冰淇淋， 还忘了关冰箱冷冻室的门。 还有上次他在晕晕戴夫家把所有床都跳了个遍，还全跳塌了。 至于上次在粗鲁鬼拉尔夫家他干的好事嘛…… 这个嘛…… 还是不说为妙。 不过有个小问题。 没人愿意邀请淘气包亨利来家里留宿超过一次。 每次亨利去朋友家过夜， 他爸妈凌晨三点准会接到某个抓狂的家长打来的电话， 吼着让他们立刻把亨利接走。

Horrid Henry couldn't understand it. Parents were so fussy. Even the parents of great kids like Rude Ralph and Greedy Graham. Who cares about a little noise or a broken bed? Big deal, thought Horrid Henry. It was no fun having friends sleep over at his house. There was no rampaging and feasting at Henry's. It was lights out as usual at nine o 'clock. No talking, no feasting, no fun. So when new Nick, who had just joined Henry's class, invited Henry to stay the night, Horrid Henry couldn't believe his luck. New beds to bounce on, new biscuit tins to raid, new places to rampage. Bliss!

淘气包亨利搞不懂这是为啥。 大人也太挑剔了吧。 就连粗鲁鬼拉尔夫和贪吃鬼格雷厄姆这种超棒小孩的爸妈也这样。 不就是吵了点，床塌了张嘛，有什么大不了的？ 多大点事啊，淘气包亨利心想。 邀请朋友来自己家过夜可太没劲了。 亨利家可不许疯玩，也不许吃夜宵大餐。 跟平时一样，九点就得熄灯睡觉。 不许说话，不许吃零食，一点意思都没有。 所以当刚转来亨利班的新同学尼克邀请亨利去他家过夜的时候， 淘气包亨利简直不敢相信自己走了大运。 有新床可以跳，新饼干罐可以掏，新地方可以撒野啦。 太爽啦！

Henry packed his sleepover bag as fast as he could. Mum came in. She looked grumpy. "'Got your pyjamas?' she asked. Henry never needed pyjamas with sleepovers because he never went to bed. "'Got them?' said Henry. "'Just not with him,' he thought. "'Don't forget your toothbrush,' said Mum. "'I won't,' said horrid Henry. "'He never forgot his toothbrush. He just chose not to bring it.' Dad came in. He looked even grumpier. "'Don't forget your comb,' said Dad. Horrid Henry looked at his bulging backpack stuffed with toys and comics. Sadly, there was no room for a comb.

亨利飞速收拾好自己的过夜行李包。 妈妈走了进来，脸色看上去不太好。 “睡衣带了吗？”她问。 亨利去留宿从来不需要睡衣，因为他根本就不会睡觉。 “带啦？”亨利说。 “就是没装在包里而已，”他心里暗想。 “别忘了带牙刷哦。”妈妈说。 “不会忘的。”淘气包亨利说。 他才不会忘带牙刷呢，他只是故意不想带而已。 爸爸走了进来，脸色比妈妈还难看。 “别忘了带梳子哦。”爸爸说。 淘气包亨利看了看自己塞得满满当当的背包，里面全是玩具和漫画书。 可惜啊，根本没地方放梳子了。

I won't," lied Henry. I'm warning you, Henry," said Mum. I want you to be on best behaviour tonight. Of course," said Horrid Henry. I don't want any phone calls at 3am from Nick's parents," said Dad. If I do, this will be your last sleepover ever. I mean it. Nag, nag, nag. All right," said Horrid Henry. Ding -a! A woman opened the door. She was wearing a biting helmet on her head and long, flowing robes. Behind her stood a man in a velvet cloak, holding back five enormous, snarling black dogs. Tra la la, boom dee -ay! And a dreadful, ear -splitting voice.

我不会忘的，”亨利撒谎道。 “我警告你啊亨利，”妈妈说。 今晚你可得规规矩矩的。 那当然啦，”淘气包亨利说。 “我可不想凌晨三点接到尼克爸妈的电话，”爸爸说。 要是真接到了，你以后再也别想去别人家过夜了。 我说到做到。 唠唠叨叨，烦死人了。 知道啦，”淘气包亨利说。 叮咚——！ 一个女人开了门。 她头上戴着维京头盔，身上穿着长长的飘逸长袍。 她身后站着个穿天鹅绒斗篷的男人， 正拽着五只龇牙咧嘴的大黑狗。 啦啦啦，嘣嘀哎！ 还有个刺耳到快震破耳膜的声音在响。
