Monday Today at school, Phys Ed was cancelled because we had general assembly during the fourth period. I have two admit I was a little disappointed when I found out, because believe it or not, me and Carlos have actually been getting the hang of the merengue. Most people were pretty excited, though, because we haven't had a general assembly since November. That's when this hypnotist called the Amazing Andrew came to our school.

星期一今天在学校，体育课被取消了，因为我们在第四节课有全体大会。 我得承认当我发现的时候我有点失望，因为信不信由你，我和卡洛斯实际上已经掌握了梅伦格舞的窍门。 不过，大多数人都很兴奋，因为我们自去年11月以来就没有召开过大会。 就在那时，一个叫做神奇安德鲁的催眠师来到了我们学校。

In the grand finale of his show, the Amazing Andrew hypnotized a line of eighth-graders into thinking their arms were superglued together. Then he told the guys he'd unglue them with a magic word, and when he said it they came apart just like that. After school some kids got into an argument over whether the hypnotist was for real or if those eighth-graders were in on the act and just faking it. Two of the kids who thought the Amazing Andrew was a fake linked their arms, and then Martin Ford

在他的节目的大结局中，神奇的安德鲁催眠了一排八年级学生，让他们认为他们的手臂是超级粘在一起的。 然后他告诉他们，他会用一个咒语把它们解开，当他说的时候，它们就像那样分开了。 放学后，一些孩子开始争论催眠师是真的还是那些八年级学生在演戏，只是装出来的。 两个认为神奇的安德鲁是假的孩子挽起了胳膊，然后是马丁·福特

tried to hypnotize them into thinking they were superglued together. Believe it or not, it WORKED. The two kids couldn't separate their arms, and they totally panicked. Martin tried saying the magic word, but he couldn't unstick them. The kids went back to the school, and one of the teachers had to track down the Amazing Andrew at his job so he could say the magic word and separate them.

试图催眠他们，让他们以为他们是超级粘在一起的。 信不信由你，它起作用了。 两个孩子无法分开他们的手臂，他们完全惊慌失措。 马丁试着说出那个咒语，但他无法解开它们。 孩子们回到学校，其中一位老师不得不在工作中找到神奇的安德鲁，这样他就能说出那个神奇的词，把他们分开。

I have no idea how the school chooses the people who come in and do our assembly's. One person they brought in last year was a guy called Strong Steve. He gave a speech about how we needed to stay off drugs, and then for his grand finale he ripped a phone book in half with his bare hands. Don't ask me what ripping a phone book has to do with staying off drugs, but the kids at my school went crazy for this guy. In fact, the librarian had to replace half the reference books on our shelves after Strong Steve's visit.

我不知道学校是怎么挑选来参加我们集会的人的。 他们去年引进的一个人叫强壮的史蒂夫。 他发表了一篇关于我们如何远离毒品的演讲，然后在他最精彩的结尾，他徒手将一本电话簿撕成两半。 别问我撕电话簿和远离毒品有什么关系，但我学校的孩子们都为这家伙疯狂。 事实上，在斯特朗·史蒂夫来访后，图书管理员不得不把我们书架上一半的参考书换掉。

The person I'm really hoping they DON'T bring back is this singer named Krisstina. I think the school likes to bring in Krisstina for assemblies because her lyrics are really positive. TRUST IN YOUR DREAMS AND YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW HAPPY YOUR HEART CAN BE REACH FOR TRE STARS AND NEVER STOP YOU'RE A WINNER YOULL REACH THE TOP! Krisstina calls herself an "international pop sensation, "but I don't know how she gets away with that. As far as I can tell, she's never even been out of the STATE

我真心希望他们不要让这个叫克里斯蒂娜的歌手回来。 我认为学校喜欢邀请克里斯蒂娜参加集会因为她的歌词非常积极。 相信你的梦想，你会看到你的心能有多快乐，可以摘到三颗星星，永远不要停止，你是赢家，你会到达顶峰！克里斯蒂娜称自己为“国际流行明星”，但我不知道她是怎么做到的。 据我所知，她甚至从未出过州

He said his job was to pose as a high school student and then report on the kids who were up to no good. I thought that sounded like an AWESOME job. If I can get paid to go to school without doing homework or taking test AND send all the jerks to jail, then that's the career for me.
