Horrid Henry's rainy day

He’d been banned from the computer for rampaging through Our Town Museum.

*rampage /뢤page/ 어떤 장소로 들어가다 (causing damage 또는 making a lot of noise)

 

He’d been banned from watching TV just b/c he was caught watching a teeny tiny bit extra after he’d been told to switch it off straight after Mutant Max.

 

Could he help it if an exciting new series about a rebel robot had started right after?

* rebel /뢔블/ 자신의 국가의 정치적 체계에 반대해서 무력을 사용해서 그것을 바꾸려고 노력하는 사람.

 

How would he know if it were any good unless he watched some of it?

 

Unload the dishwasher.

 

Better keep out of his parents’ way, or they’d come up with even more horrible things for him to do.

 

He could always check to see what Peter was up to.

 

Stop calling your brother names.

 

OK, Peter, cause I’m so nice, I’ll let you make a list of ten names that you don’t want to be called. And it will only cost you ￡1.

 

Peter would pay much more than that never to be called Poopsicle again.

 

No, how dare you? I make you a good offer, and you accuse me.

 

 

* nappy = diaper

 

His arch-enemy Stuck-Up Steve could come over and snatch anything he wanted, even his skeleton bank and Goo-Shooter.

* arch-enemy 특히 나쁜 적

 

Moody Margaret could hop over the wall and nick his flag.

*nick 1) steal sth 훔치다(영국에서만) 2) catch (영국)

 

Horrid Henry went pale. He had to stop those rapacious thieves.

* rapacious 탐욕스러운

 

I could come back and haunt them.

* haunt /호운t/ cause repeated suffering or anxiety 또는(of a ghost) appear in a place repeatedly /hɑːnt/ *영국과 미국의 발음이 다름.

 

Yes! That would teach those grave-robbers not to mess with me.

* grave-robber 도굴꾼

 

Touch my go-shooter and you’ll be morphed into ectoplasm.

 

But fun as it would be to haunt people, he’d rather stop horrible enemies snatching his stuff in the first place.

 

Anyone who doesn’t do what I say will get haunted by a bloodless and boneless ghoul, namely me. so there.

* bloodless 창백한, 핏기 없는(pale), 냉혹한(no emotion)

* ghoul /구 얼/ 시체를 먹는 악령, 잔인한 짓을 하는 걸 좋아하는 사람

* so there 강조.

 

Henry had always liked the chiming clock on their mantelpiece and the picture of the blackbird.

* chiming (종이) 울리는

* mantelpiece 벽난로 선반

 

He staggered to his bedroom and dumped everything on the floor, then went back for a second helping.

* for a second helping
