英语小说阅读 George’s Marvellous Medicine 3．George Begins to Make the Medicine (3) In went a small bottle of scarlet NAIL VARNISH.'If the toothpaste doesn't clean her teeth,' George said, 'then this will paint them as red as roses.’ He found another jar of creamy stuff labelled HAIR REMOVER. SMEAR IT ON YOUR LEGS, it said, AND ALLOW TO REMAIN FOR FIVE MINUTES. George tipped it all into the saucepan. There was a bottle with yellow stuff inside it called DISHWORTH'S FAMOUS DANDRUFF CURE. In it went. There was something called BRILLIDENT FOR CLEANING FALSE TEETH. It was a white powder. In that went, too. He found another aerosol can, NEVERMORE PONKING DEODORANT SPRAY, GUARANTEED, it said, TO KEEP AWAY UNPLEASANT BODY SMELLS FOR A WHOLE DAY. 'She could use plenty of that,' George said as he sprayed the entire canful into the saucepan. LIQUID PARAFFIN, the next one was called. It was a big bottle. He hadn't the faintest idea what it did to you, but he poured it in anyway. That, he thought, looking around him, was about all from the bathroom. 接着，他放入了一小瓶鲜红色的指甲油。“如果牙膏不能清洁她的牙齿，”乔治说，“那这个就能把它们涂得像玫瑰一样红。” 他发现了另一罐奶油状的东西，标签上写着“脱毛膏”。上面写着“涂抹在腿上，保持五分钟”。乔治把它全倒进了平底锅里。 还有一瓶黄色东西，叫做“迪什沃思著名去屑特效药”。他也把它倒了进去。 有一种叫做“布里尔登清洁假牙”的东西。它是一种白色粉末。那个也倒了进去。 他又找到一个喷雾罐，“永不再有蓬克除臭喷雾”，上面写着，“保证全天远离难闻的体味”。“她可以多用点这个，”乔治说着，把整罐喷雾都喷进了平底锅里。 下一个叫做“液体石蜡”。这是一个大瓶子。他完全不知道这东西有什么用，但还是把它倒了进去。 他想，环顾四周，这大概是浴室里所有的东西了。 New words: 1. scarlet：a. 鲜红色的 2. nail varnish：指甲油 3. creamy：a. 奶油状的 4. hair remover：脱毛膏 5. dandruff cure：去屑特效药 6.
