Horrid Henry's Sick Day

you

你

hurried Henry's sick day. Cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze. Are you alright, Peter? asked Mum. Peter coughed, choked and spluttered. I'm okay. He gasped. Are you sure? said Dad. You don't look very well. Cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze. It's nothing. Cough, cough, sneeze, sneeze. Said Perfect Peter, coughing. Mum felt Peter's sweaty brow. You've got a temperature, said Mum. I think you'd better stay home from school today. But I don't want to miss school, said Peter.

调皮鬼亨利的病假 咳，咳，阿嚏，阿嚏。 "你还好吗，彼得？"妈妈问。 彼得咳得呛住了，连话都说不清。 我没事。 他喘着气说。 "你确定吗？"爸爸问。 你看起来不太舒服啊。 咳，咳，阿嚏，阿嚏。 真的没什么。 咳，咳，阿嚏，阿嚏。 "完美彼得"边咳边说。 妈妈摸了摸彼得汗津津的额头。 "你发烧了，"妈妈说。 我觉得你今天最好待在家里，别去上学了。 "可是我不想缺课呀。"彼得说。

Go back to bed said mum. But I want to go to school Wailed Peter. I'm sure I'll be Peters pale sweaty face turned green. He dashed up the stairs to the loo mum ran after him The horrible sound of vomiting filled the house Horrid Henry stopped eating his toast Peter stay at home Peter miss school Peter lays about watching TV while he Henry had to suffer a long hard day with Miss Battleaxe No way He was sick too. Hadn't he cough twice this morning? And he had definitely sneezed last night Now that he thought about it. He could feel those flu germs invading. Yep There they were marching down his throat

"回床上去，"妈妈说。"可我想去上学，" 彼得哭着说，"我肯定很快就好——" 彼得苍白汗湿的脸一下子发绿。他冲上楼往厕所跑，妈妈跟在后面追。 整栋房子都听得见呕吐的难受声音。 调皮鬼亨利停下了吃吐司的动作。 彼得待在家里，彼得不用上学？ 彼得舒舒服服躺着看电视，他亨利却要去跟"战斧老师"熬漫长又难熬的一天？ 门都没有。 他也病了呀。他今天早上不是还咳了两声吗？ 而且他昨晚绝对打了喷嚏的。 他这么一想，顿时觉得流感病毒正在入侵他的身体。没错。 它们正排着队往他喉咙里钻呢。

Stomp, stomp, stomp, marched the germs. Mercy! shrieked his throat. Ha, ha, ha! gloated the germs. Horrid Henry thought about those spelling words he hadn't learnt. The map he hadn't finished colouring. The book report he hadn't done. Ow! His throat hurt. Ooh! His tummy hurt. Eek! His head hurt. Yippee! He was sick. So what would it be? Maths or Mutant Max? Reading or relaxing? Commas or comics? Tests or TV? Mmm, thought Horrid Henry. Hard choice. Gof, gof.

咚、咚、咚，病毒大踏步往前走。 "救命啊！"他的喉咙尖叫着。 "哈哈哈！"病毒得意地坏笑。 调皮鬼亨利想起了他还没背的拼写单词。 还有他没涂完色的地图作业。 还有他没写的读书报告。 哎哟！ 他喉咙疼了。 哎哟喂！ 他肚子疼了。 呜哇！ 他头疼了。 太好啦！ 他生病了！ 那现在选什么好呢？ 上数学课，还是看《变种麦克斯》？ 上阅读课，还是舒舒服服歇着？ 学逗号用法，还是看漫画书？ 做测验，还是看电视？ 嗯，调皮鬼亨利琢磨着。 这选择可太难啦~ 咳、咳。

Dad continued reading the paper. Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough. Are you all right, Henry? asked Dad, without looking up. No, asked Henry. I'm sick too, I can't go to school. Slowly Dad put down his newspaper. You don't look ill, Henry, said Dad. Well I am, whimpered, horrid Henry. He clenched his throat. My throat really hurts, he moaned. Then he added a few coughs, just in case. Cough, cough, cough, cough. Oh, feel weak, he groaned. Everything aches. Dad sighed. All right, you can stay home, he said. Yes, thought horrid Henry. He was amazed. It usually took much more moaning and groaning before his mean, horrible parents decided he was sick enough to miss a day of school.

爸爸继续看着报纸。 咳、咳、咳、咳、咳。 "你没事吧，亨利？"爸爸头也没抬地问。 "有事。"亨利说。 "我也生病了，我不能去上学了。" 爸爸慢慢放下了报纸。 "你看起来不像生病啊，亨利。"爸爸说。 "我真的病了。"调皮鬼亨利哼哼唧唧地说。 他掐着自己的喉咙。 "我喉咙特别疼。"他呻吟着。 为了保险起见，他又多咳了几声。 咳、咳、咳、咳。 "哎哟，我浑身发软。"他哼哼着。 "哪儿都疼。" 爸爸叹了口气。 "好吧，你可以待在家里。"他说。 太棒了！调皮鬼亨利心里暗喜。 他都惊呆了。 平时他得哼哼唧唧装好久，他那小气又讨厌的爸妈才会相信他病到能不上学的程度呢。

But no playing on the computer, said Dad. If you're sick, you have to lie down. Horrid Henry was outraged. But it makes me feel better to play on the computer, he protested. If you're well enough to play on the computer, you're well enough to go to school, said Dad. What? Oh well, thought Horrid Henry. He'd get his duvet, lie on the sofa and watch loads of TV instead. Then Mum would bring him cold drinks, lunch on a tray, maybe even ice cream. It was always such a waste when you were too sick to enjoy being sick, thought Horrid Henry happily.

"但是不准玩电脑，"爸爸说，"生病了就得躺着。" 调皮鬼亨利气坏了。 "可是玩电脑能让我舒服点呀。"他抗议道。 "你要是有精力玩电脑，就有精力去上学。"爸爸说。 什么？ 哦，算了，调皮鬼亨利想，大不了他拿上被子，躺在沙发上看一整天电视也行。 妈妈还会给他拿冰饮，把午餐装在托盘里端过来，说不定还有冰淇淋呢。 "要是真病到没法享受生病的福利，那可太亏啦。"调皮鬼亨利美滋滋地想。
