One may think Bella''s response reasonable upon waking up to find your jewelry being licked by a baby brother.
当一觉醒来发现还是婴儿的弟弟正在舔你的首饰时，你可能认为贝拉的反应是合理的。
But things do not improve from here, and nothing anyone does for Bella is right and it seems the only solution is to shout as loud as possible about the injustice of it all. The response will be familiar to parents of young children, and it draws on the experience of author Rebecca Patterson with her daughter.
但是事情并没有因此而改善，没有人认为贝拉的这种反应是应该的。尽可能的大声呼喊来表示自己的不满似乎成了事情*的解决方案。本书是作者丽贝卡·卡帕森通过和女儿的亲身经历而写的，很多家中有小孩的父母们应该对此都有共鸣。
Dark Lord: The Teenage Years, a tale about a powerful netherworld lord who finds himself inhabiting the body of a chubby teenager scooped the 7 to 14 year category prize.
另外一本获得罗德·道尔(7到1*年龄段)幽默童书奖的读物是《Dark Lord：The Teenage Years(黑暗魔王的青春期)》。它讲述了一位来自地狱的伯爵发现自己寄居在一个肥胖*身体里的故事。
The book by Jamie Thomson focuses on Dirk Lloyd and his tribulations from being taken care of by social services and settled into his local school, when all he really wants to do is be appreciated as an evil force and return to his reign of terror.
这本书的创作灵感来自于作者杰米·汤姆森以前在学校和社会服务中所受的苦难，当时他真的想拥有一股邪恶的力量，恢复他的恐怖统治。
Thomson used his experience writing fantasy books for role play as a springboard for the book.
汤姆森就是根据他的这些经验写出了这本奇幻小说。
"I wanted to show what it''s like to be a dark lord in more detail, and why people would want to be one," Thomson said.
“我想更细致的表现一个黑暗魔王的形象，并且想展现出人们为什么希望变成他。”汤姆森说。
He added that recent big name fiction like Harry Potter had bolstered interest in fantasy books.
他还增加了很多类似于大名鼎鼎的魔幻小说《哈利波特》之类的情节描写。
The book also shines a light on the bizarre way that people in the real world behave, said Michael Rosen, author and chair of the judges. "This is a wonderfully absurd take on beings from another planet or another world and like all books with this theme it makes us think about how odd and crazy we are."
这本书同时就像是一束光照亮现实生活中的人们。评审之一的作家迈克尔·罗斯说到：“ 这是一部精彩的荒诞派作品，向读者呈现了另外一个星球或者是另外一个*。如同所有的书籍都有一个主题一样，这本书的主题能让我们感受到我们自身是多么的怪异和疯狂。”
