Horrid Henry Meets the Queen

you

你

Horrid Henry meets the Queen. What now? Perfect Peter bowed to himself in the mirror. Your Majesty, he said, pretending to present a bouquet. Welcome to our school, Your Majesty. My name is Peter, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty. Goodbye, Your Majesty. Slowly, Perfect Peter retreated backwards, bowing and smiling. Oh, shut up, snarled Horrid Henry. He glared at Peter. If Peter said, Your Majesty, one more time, he would, he would... Horrid Henry wasn't sure what he'd do, but it would be horrible.

调皮鬼亨利要拜见女王啦。 这又怎么了？ 完美彼得对着镜子练习鞠躬。 "女王陛下，"他假装递出一束花，开口说道。 欢迎来到我们学校，女王陛下。 我叫彼得，女王陛下。 谢谢您，女王陛下。 再见，女王陛下。 完美彼得一边鞠躬一边微笑，慢慢往后退。 "哦，闭嘴！"调皮鬼亨利怒吼道。 他恶狠狠地瞪着彼得。 要是彼得再说一次"女王陛下"，他就要，就要…… 调皮鬼亨利还没想好要做什么，但肯定是件大坏事。

The Queen was coming to Henry's school, the real live Queen, the real live Queen, with her dogs and jewels and crowns and castles and bee -featers and knights and horses and ladies -in -waiting, was coming to see the Tudor wall they had built. Yet, for some reason, Horrid Henry had not been asked to give the Queen a bouquet. Instead, the head, Mrs. Odbord, had chosen Peter.

女王要来亨利的学校啦！是货真价实的女王哦，她还带着 她的小狗、珠宝、王冠、城堡，还有王室护卫、骑士、骏马，还有 侍女们，专程来参观他们搭建的都铎风格围墙。 可不知道为什么，没人请调皮鬼亨利给女王献花。 反而是校长奥德博德夫人选中了彼得。

Why stupid, smelly, old, ugly toad Peter! It was so unfair. Just because Peter had more stars than anyone in the Gooders Gold Book, was that any reason to choose him? Henry should have been chosen. He would do a much better job than Peter. Besides, he wanted to ask the Queen how many TVs she had. Now he'd never get the chance. Your Majesty, said Peter, bowing. Your Majesty, mimicked Henry, curtseying. Perfect Peter ignored him. He'd been ignoring Henry a lot ever since he'd been chosen to meet the Queen. Come to think of it, everyone had been ignoring Henry. Isn't it thrilling, said Mum for the millionth time.

凭什么选那个又笨又臭、又老又丑的癞蛤蟆彼得啊！ 这太不公平了。 不就因为彼得的《好孩子金册》上的星星比所有人都多吗？这算什么选他的理由啊？ 本来该选亨利的，他肯定比彼得做得好一百倍。 再说了，他还想问问女王家里有多少台电视呢。 现在他永远没机会问了。 "女王陛下。"彼得鞠着躬说。 "女王陛下~"亨利一边行屈膝礼，一边故意学他说话。 完美彼得没理他，自从被选中要见女王之后，他大多时候都不理亨利。 说起来，最近所有人都不理亨利了。 "这是不是太让人激动啦？"妈妈第一百万次念叨这句话。

Isn't it fantastic?' said Dad, for the billionth time. No!' Henry had said. Who would want to hand some rotten flowers to a stupid Queen anyhow? Not Horrid Henry. And he certainly didn't want to have his picture in the paper, and everyone making a fuss. Bow, bouquet, answer her question, walk away, muttered Perfect Peter. Then he paused. Or is it bouquet bow? Horrid Henry had had just about enough of Peter showing off. You're doing it all wrong, said Henry. No, I'm not, said Peter. Yes, you are, said Henry. You're supposed to hold the bouquet up to her nose, so she can have a sniff before you give it to her. Perfect Peter paused. No, I'm not, said Peter. Horrid Henry shook his head sadly. I think we'd better practice, he said.

"这是不是太棒啦？"爸爸第十亿次念叨这句话。 "才不！"亨利说。 谁会想把破花送给傻乎乎的女王啊？ 反正调皮鬼亨利不想。 他当然也不想上报纸，被所有人围着大惊小怪。 鞠躬，献花，回答问题，退下。完美彼得小声念叨着。 然后他停了下来。 还是先献花再鞠躬？ 调皮鬼亨利受够了彼得这副显摆的样子。 "你全搞错啦。"亨利说。 "我才没有。"彼得说。 "你就是错了。"亨利说。 你得把花举到她鼻子跟前， 递之前得先让她闻闻香味。 完美彼得顿了顿。 "我才不用这么做。"彼得说。 调皮鬼亨利故作遗憾地摇了摇头。 "我觉得我们最好练习一下。"他说。

Pretend I'm the Queen. He picked up Peter's shiny silver crown, covered in fool's jewels, and put it on his head. Perfect Peter beamed. He'd been begging Henry to practise with him all morning. Ask me a question the Queen would ask, said Peter. Horrid Henry considered. Why are you so smelly, little boy? Said the Queen, holding her nose. The Queen wouldn't ask that, gasped Perfect Peter. Yes, she would, said Henry. Wouldn't. Would. And I'm not smelly. Horrid Henry waved his hand in front of his face.

"假装我是女王。" 他拿起彼得那顶镶满假宝石的亮银王冠，戴到了自己头上。 完美彼得笑得可开心了。 他一早上都在求亨利陪他练习呢。 "问我一个女王会问的问题呀。"彼得说。 调皮鬼亨利想了想。 "小朋友，你怎么这么臭呀？" 女王捏着鼻子说。 "女王才不会问这种问题！"完美彼得急得喘着气说。 "她会的。"亨利说。 "才不会。" "就是会。" "还有我才不臭。" 调皮鬼亨利故意在自己脸前扇了扇手。
