Day9-Eat Your Peas 吃掉你的豌豆
Eat Your Peas
Daisy是一个很古灵精怪的小女孩，不爱吃豌豆，不爱穿裙子，不爱洗澡，而且态度还很强硬……现在就和Yokia老师一起来看看妈妈和Daisy为了一盘豌豆博弈的故事吧。
DAY 9 Eat Your Peas
It was a dinner time again,
and Daisy just knew about
what her mother was going to say
before she even said it
"Eat you peas." Said Mum.
又到了吃晚饭的时间了，黛西早就猜到妈妈会在她耳边唠叨什么了。果不其然，妈妈又在她耳边碎碎念道“把你盘子里的豆子都吃掉！”
Daisy looked down at the little green balls
when ganging up on her plate.
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy.
黛西低头看了看她盘子里
聚成一堆的绿色的小球们，
不情愿地说道：“我不喜欢豆子。”
Mum sighed when her usual sighs
“If you eat your peas,
you could have some puddings” said Mum.
妈妈听了后，又像往常一样的叹了口气。
接着说：“如果你能吃掉你的豆子，我就奖赏你一些布丁吃。”
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy.
可是黛西真的不想吃豆子，
她斩钉截铁地重复道：“我就是不喜欢豆子！”
“If you eat your peas,
you could have some puddings
and you can stay up
for an extra half an hour”
但是妈妈不依不饶，
又说道：“如果你把豆子吃了，
除了美味的布丁，你还可以晚睡半个小时！”
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy.
黛西有点无可奈何，只好又说了一遍：
“我是真的不喜欢豆子呀！”
“If you eat your peas,
you could have some puddings
and you can stay up
for an extra half an hour,
and you can skip your bath.”
“如果你吃了你的豆子，
除了布丁和额外的半个小时外，
你还可以不用洗澡哦！”
妈妈又开始提出新的条件了。
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy.
黛西双手抱胸，嘟着小嘴，摇摇头说：
“人家就是不喜欢豆子嘛！”
“If you eat your peas,
you could can have 10 puddings ,
stay up really late, you don’t have to wash for 2 whole months,
and I’ll buy you a new bike.”
妈妈却没有顾及黛西的感受，
依旧接着加砝码，“如果你吃掉你的豆子，
我就给你十份布丁，
并且你可以熬夜到任何时间，
同时你整整两个月可以不用洗澡，
我还会给你买辆新的自行车。”
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy,
黛西最终有没有向妈妈妥协呢？
左手托腮，望着天花板，
不耐烦地又重复了一遍：
“我是真的不喜欢豆子啊！”
“If you eat your peas,
you could have 48 puddings,
stay up possible at midnight,
and never have to wash again.
I’ll buy you 2 new bikes
and a baby elephant.”
“如果你吃了豆子，你可以吃48个布丁，
可以熬夜到晚上，可以永远不用洗澡。
我还会给你买两辆新的自行车，
一个玩具小象”
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy,
“我真的不喜欢豌豆”黛西无奈地说。
“If you eat your peas,
you can have 100 puddings,
you can go to bed when you want,
wash when you want.
Do what you want when you want.
I’ll buy you 10 new bikes, 2 pet elephants,
3 zebras, a penguin and a chocolate factory.”
“如果你吃了豆子，你可以吃100个布丁，你可以想睡觉的时候才睡觉，想洗澡的时候才洗澡，可以得到你想要的一切。我会给你买十辆新的自行车，两个宠物小象，三个斑马，一只企鹅还有巧克力工厂哦”
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy,
“我不喜欢豌豆”黛西说。
If you eat your peas, I’ll buy a supermarket stacked full of puddings, you never have to go to bed again or school again,
you never have to wash or wash your hair, or clean you shoes or tide your bedroom. I’ll buy you a bike shop, a zoo, 10 chocolate factories, or take you to the superland for a week.
You can have your very own space rocket with double retro laser blammers.”
“如果你吃了豆子，我会给你买下一个装满布丁的超市，你永远都不用睡觉，不用去学校。你永远不用洗澡、洗头发、洗鞋子、打扫你的房间。我会给你买下一个自行车行，一个动物园，十个巧克力工厂，或者带你去游乐场玩上一个礼拜，
你可以有你自己的太空火箭。”
“I don’t like peas.” Said Daisy,
“我不喜欢豌豆”黛西说。
"If you eat you peas,
I'll buy you every supermarkt, sweet shop, toy shop and bike shop in the world, seventeen swimmingpools, you never have to go to bed again, or go to school, or wash, or brush your hair or clean your shoes, or clean your teeth, or clean your hamster out, or tidy your bedroom, or put the videos in yourself, or get dressed,
I'll buy you Africa and ninety two chocolate factories, we'll move to Superland, you can have all the space rockets you want, I'll buy you the earth, the moon, the stars, the sun, and ...and...and..
“如果你吃了豆子，我会给你买下世界上所有的超市、甜食店、玩具店、自行车行，还有十七个游泳池，你永远不需要去睡觉、上学、洗澡、梳头、洗鞋子、刷牙、打扫你的仓鼠、整理房间，自己放录像，也不用穿戴整齐，
我给你买下非洲、92座巧克力工厂，我们搬到游乐场去住，你可以拥有所有你想要的太空火箭，我给你买地球、月亮、星星、太阳，还有……还有……
and , a new fluffy pencil case.”
还有一个毛茸茸的新笔袋哦。
“You really want me to eat peas, don’t you?” said Daisy.
“你是真的想要我吃掉豌豆，是不是？”黛西说
“yes” said Mum.
“是的！”妈妈说
“I’ll eat my peas
if you eat your Brussels” said Daisy“
如果你吃了甘蓝菜我就吃豆子”黛西说
Mum looked down on her own plate
and her bottle lip began to wobble.
妈妈看了下自己的盘子，下唇开始颤抖。
“But , I don’t like Brussels” said mum.
“但是我不喜欢甘蓝菜”妈妈说
"Exactly!" said Daisy.
"You don't like the Brussels
and I DON'T LIKE PEAS!"
"But we both like pudding!"
“就是啊！”Daisy说。
“你不喜欢甘蓝，而我不喜欢豌豆！”
“但是我们都喜欢布丁！”
在这个世界上，总会有人试图强迫或诱惑我们去做我们不喜欢的事，但是我们一定要坚持自己的立场，不愿意就是不愿意，不喜欢就是不喜欢，如果一味妥协，我们的原则和个性就会消失，这是一个人最大的悲哀之一。并且，自己不愿意做的事情一定不要强迫别人去做，正所谓“己所不欲，勿施于人”。
如果家里有坚持度很高的孩子，这本书的小女主Daisy肯定能获得孩子的共鸣。她就是个坚持度非常高的孩子，而且故事内容贴近小小孩的生活经验：妈妈用条件交换的方式，希望孩子不挑食。作者表达Daisy性格的方式也很有趣，Daisy的脸部表情从一开始的远镜头，随着故事的发展不断地“Zoom in”，一直到故事结尾，小读者可以很清楚地看到Daisy最坚决的表情，让人拍案叫绝。
