Horrid Henry's Christmas Presents

Horrid Henry's Christmas presents. 23rd of December. Just two more days to go. Horrid Henry sat by the Christmas tree and stuffed himself full of the special sweets he'd nicked from the special Christmas day stash when Mum and Dad weren't looking. After his triumph in the school Christmas play, Horrid Henry was feeling delighted with himself and with the world.

淘气包亨利的圣诞礼物 12月23日，还差两天就到圣诞节啦 淘气包亨利坐在圣诞树旁，大口塞着趁爸妈不注意，从圣诞专属储备里偷拿的特供糖果，肚子都快撑爆了 上次学校圣诞剧大获成功之后，淘气包亨利看自己格外顺眼，觉得整个世界都美好极了

Granny and Grandpa, his grown -up cousins, Pimpley -Paul and Prissey -Polly, and their baby -vomiting Vera, were coming to spend Christmas. Woopee! thought Horrid Henry, because they'd all have to bring him presents. Thankfully, rich Aunt Ruby and stuck -up Steve weren't coming. They were off skiing. Henry hadn't forgotten the dreadful lime -green cardigan Aunt Ruby had given him last year. And, much as he hated cousin Polly, anyone was better than stuck -up Steve, even someone who squealed all the time and had a baby who threw up on everyone. Mum dashed into the sitting room, wearing a flower -covered apron and looking frantic. Henry choked down his mouthful of sweets. Eh? Right, who wants to decorate the tree? said Mum. She held out a cardboard box brimming with tinsel and gold and silver and blue baubles. Nay! said Henry.

奶奶、爷爷，还有他成年的表兄表姐，满脸痘的保罗和娇滴滴的波莉，还有他们爱吐奶的小宝贝薇拉， 都要来家里过圣诞节 太棒啦！淘气包亨利暗自开心，因为他们每个人都得给他带礼物呀 万幸的是，有钱的鲁比姨妈和傲慢鬼史蒂夫不来，他们去滑雪了 亨利可没忘去年鲁比姨妈送他的那件丑到爆的青绿色开衫 虽说他特别讨厌波莉表姐，但谁都比傲慢鬼史蒂夫强，哪怕是个动不动就尖叫的人 还带个见人就吐奶的小屁孩呢 妈妈冲进客厅，身上围着印满花的围裙，看起来忙得脚不沾地 亨利赶紧把满嘴的糖咽了下去 嗯？ 好了，谁想来装饰圣诞树呀？妈妈问 她举着一个硬纸盒，里面装满了金属亮片，还有金色、银色、蓝色的装饰小球 我才不要！亨利说

Me! said Peter. Horace Henry dashed to the box and scooped up as many shiny ornaments as he could. I want to put on the gold baubles! said Henry. I want to put on the tinsel! said Peter. Keep away from my side of that plane! said Henry. You don't have a side! said Peter. Do too! Do not! said Peter. I want to put on the tinsel and the baubles! said Henry.

我来！彼得说 淘气包亨利一下冲到盒子跟前，伸手抓了满满一大把亮闪闪的装饰 我要挂金色的装饰球！亨利喊 我要挂金属亮片！彼得喊 离我这边的树远点！亨利说 这树才没有你的那边！彼得说 就有！ 才没有！彼得说 亮片和装饰球我都要！亨利说

But I want to do the tinsel, said Peter. Tuff! said Henry, dripping new Peter in tinsel. Mum! wailed Peter. Henry's hogging all the decorations. And he's putting tinsel on me. Don't be horrid, Henry, said Mum. Share with your brother. Peter carefully wrapped blue tinsel round the lower branches. Don't put it there, said Henry, yanking it off. Trust Peter to ruin his beautiful plan. Mum! wailed Peter. He's wrecking my design, screeched Henry. He doesn't know how to decorate a tree. But I wanted it there, protested Peter. Leave my tinsel alone. You leave my stuff alone then, said Henry. He's wrecked my design! Sweet Henry and Peter.

可是我想挂亮片呀，彼得说 想得美！亨利说，一边把亮片往彼得身上缠 妈妈！彼得哭嚎起来 亨利把所有装饰都霸占了！ 他还把亮片往我身上缠！ 亨利别捣蛋，妈妈说，跟弟弟分享 彼得小心翼翼地把蓝色亮片缠在树的低处枝桠上 别往那儿挂，亨利说着，一把就把亮片扯了下来 彼得肯定是故意来破坏他的完美计划的 妈妈！彼得又哭嚎起来 他毁了我的设计！亨利尖声喊，他根本就不会装饰圣诞树 可是我就想挂在那儿，彼得抗议道 别碰我的亮片 那你也别碰我的东西，亨利说 他把我的设计毁了！ 可真是一对好兄弟啊

Stop fighting both of you! shrieked Mum. He started it! screamed Henry. Did not, did to. That's enough! said Mum. Now, whose turn is it to put the fairy on top? I don't want to have that stupid fairy! wailed horrid Henry. I want to have Terminator Gladiator instead! No! said Peter. I want the fairy! We've always had the fairy!

你们俩都别吵了！妈妈尖声喊道 是他先挑的事！亨利大喊 我没有，你就有。都别说了！妈妈说 现在，轮到谁把仙女摆件放在树顶啦？ 我才不要放那个蠢兮兮的仙女！淘气包亨利哭喊道 我要放终结者角斗士玩偶代替它！ 不行！彼得说，我要放仙女！我们从来都是放仙女的！
