Horrid Henry's School Election

Ancient

古老的

Horrid Henry's school election. Vote Henry for loads of sweets. Vote Henry for loads of fun. Vote Henry for president. Henry! Henry! Bell rings Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak. Horrid Henry's legs ached. His head ached. His bottom really ached. How much longer would he have to sit on this hard wooden floor and listen to Mrs. Oddbaud witter on about hanging up coats and no running in the corridors and walking down staircases on the right hand side? Why were school assemblies so boring? If he were head, assemblies would be about the best TV programs, competitions for gruesome grub recipes and speed eating contests.

淘气包亨利的校园选举 投亨利一票，糖果吃到饱。投亨利一票，欢乐享不停。投亨利一票，当选学生会主席。 亨利！亨利！ 上课铃响了 吧啦吧啦吧啦，说个没完 淘气包亨利腿也疼，头也疼，屁股更是疼得要命 他还得在硬邦邦的木地板上坐多久，听奥德博德女士 絮絮叨叨说什么外套要挂好、走廊不许跑、上下楼梯要靠右啊？ 为什么学校集会这么无聊啊？ 要是他当校长，集会就会讲最棒的电视节目、黑暗料理食谱大赛还有速吃比赛。

Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak. Horrid and horrid, spooked and scooped up Mrs. Oddbod in his fearsome beat. Wait a minute, what was she saying? School elections will be held next week, said Mrs. Oddbod. For the first time ever you'll be electing a school council president. Now, I want everyone to think of someone they believe would make an outstanding president. Someone who will make important decisions which will affect everyone. Someone worthy of this high office. Someone who will represent this school.

吧啦吧啦吧啦，说个没完 淘气包亨利越想越气，满脑子都是把奥德博德女士抓起来狠狠收拾的幻想 等等，她在说啥？ 下周要举行校园选举，奥德博德女士说 这是你们第一次选举学生会主席哦 现在，我希望大家都想想，你们觉得谁能胜任优秀的主席一职 这个人要能做出影响所有人的重要决定 这个人配得上这个崇高的职位 这个人能代表我们整个学校。

Horrid Henry snorted. School elections? Free. Who'd want to be school council president? All that responsibility. All that power. All that glory. Wait. What was he thinking? Who wouldn't want to be? Imagine being president. He'd be king, emperor, lord high master of the universe. He'd make Mrs Oggbob walk the plank. He'd send Mr Bachelot to be a galley slave. He'd make playtime last for five hours. He'd bag all salad and vegetables from school dinners and just serve sweets. And fizzy whiz drinks. And everyone would have to bow down to him as they entered the school. And give him chocolate every day.

淘气包亨利哼了一声 校园选举？没意思 谁想当学生会主席啊？ 那么多责任要担 那么大权力在手 那么多荣光加身 等等，他想啥呢？谁不想当啊？ 想想当主席的滋味 他会成国王，成皇帝，成整个宇宙的最高主宰 他要逼着奥格鲍勃女士走跳板 他要把巴切洛特先生送去当划桨奴隶 他要把玩耍时间改成五个小时 他要把校餐里的沙拉和蔬菜全撤掉，只供应糖果 还有冒泡的汽水 而且所有人进学校都得给他鞠躬 每天还要给他送巧克力。

President Henry. His honor, President Henry. It had a nice ring. So did King Henry. Emperor Henry would be even better though. He'd change his title as soon as he got the throne. And all he had to do was win the election. Shout! Treak! Silence! Screeched Mrs. Odbod. Any more noise and playtime will be cancelled. That was one thing that would never happen when he was school president. In fact, he'd make it a rule that anyone who put their hand up in class would get sent to him for punishment. They'd only be shouting out in his school!

亨利主席。尊敬的亨利主席。听着真好听。亨利国王也不错，亨利大帝 就更棒啦。等他一坐上宝座就改头衔。而他 只需要赢下这次选举就行。 吵什么！安静！奥德博德女士尖叫道。再吵就取消你们的玩耍时间。 等他当上学主席，这种事绝对不会发生。其实啊，他还要 定个规矩，上课举手的人都要送到他这儿接受惩罚。 在他的学校里，大家就得大声喊着发言！

Put up your hand if you wish to nominate someone, said Mrs. Oddbord. Sour Susan's hand shot up. I nominate Margaret, she said. I accept, yelled Margaret, preening. Horrid Henry choked. Margaret? Pussy boots Margaret? President? She'd be a disaster, a horrible, grumpy, grouchy, moody disaster. Henry would never hear the end of it. Her head would swell so much it would burst. She'd be swaggering all over the place, ordering everyone around. Boasting, bossing, showing off.

想提名别人的请举手，奥德博德女士说。 酸溜溜苏珊唰地举起了手。 我提名玛格丽特，她说。 我接受，玛格丽特得意扬扬地喊道。 淘气包亨利差点呛到。 玛格丽特？ 那个软蛋玛格丽特？ 当主席？ 她会把一切搞砸的，她就是个讨人嫌、脾气爆、爱发火、阴晴不定的大灾星。 亨利这辈子都别想清净了。 她的尾巴会翘到天上去，得意到爆炸。 她会到处耀武扬威，对所有人指手画脚。 吹牛皮，耍威风，爱显摆。
