Junie B. Jones Is (almost) a Flower Girl

朱妮·b·琼斯（几乎）是个卖花女

1/Ricardo My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. Except I don't like Beatrice. I just like B and that's all. I am a bachelorette. A bachelorette is when your boyfriend named Ricardo dumps you at recess. Only I wasn't actually expecting that terrible trouble. It happened today on the playground. First I was playing horses with my friends Lucille and Grace. Then, all of a sudden, my boyfriend named Ricardo runned right past me. And he was chasing a new girl named Thelma!

1/里卡多：我叫朱尼B。 琼斯。B代表比阿特丽斯。 除了我不喜欢碧翠丝。 我只是喜欢B，仅此而已。 我是个未婚女子。单身女郎就是你叫里卡多的男朋友在课间休息时甩了你。 只是我没想到会有这么大的麻烦。 今天发生在操场上。 一开始我和我的朋友露西尔和格蕾丝玩马。 然后，突然间，我男朋友里卡多从我身边跑过。 他在追一个叫西尔玛的新女孩！

"RICARDO!" I hollered real loud. "HEY! RICARDO! 'ZACTLY WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, MISTER?" Then I zoomed right after that guy. And I tackled him on the grass. And we wrestled. And tangled. And rolled all around. Finally, I sat on his legs. And I smoothed my hair very attractive. "Hello, Ricardo," I said. "How are you today? I am fine. Only I just saw you chasing new Thelma. And so please knock it off. And I mean it." Ricardo raised his eyebrows very surprised. "Why? How come?" he said. I sucked in my cheeks at that guy. "Because, Ricardo. Because I am your girlfriend. And you are my boyfriend. And boyfriends and girlfriends are only allowed to chase each other. That's how come."

“里卡多!”我大声喊叫。 “嘿!里卡多!“你到底以为你在干什么，先生？”然后我紧跟着那家伙。 我把他扑倒在草地上。 我们摔跤了。和纠缠。 滚来滚去。最后，我坐在他的腿上。 我把头发梳得很漂亮。 “你好，里卡多，”我说。“你今天好吗？” 我很好。只是我刚看到你在追新的西尔玛。 所以请不要再这样了。 我是认真的。”里卡多非常惊讶地扬起眉毛。 “为什么?为什么？”他说。我对着那家伙噘起了脸颊。 “因为,里卡多。因为我是你的女朋友。 你是我的男朋友。男女朋友只允许互相追逐。 这就是为什么。”

Ricardo kept on looking at me. I shrugged my shoulders. "Sorry. Those are just the rules," I explained. Ricardo's face turned very glum. "But I like chasing new Thelma," he said kind of whiny. "It's fun." I patted his arm very understanding. "Yes, well, I don't make the rules, Rick. I just enforce them," I said. After that, I got off his legs. And I sat in the grass next to him. Ricardo didn't talk for a long time. Then finally, he stood up. And he shook my hand real nice. "Junie B., it's been fun being your boyfriend," he said. "But I think it's time we started chasing other people." After that, he waved good-bye. And he ran off to chase new Thelma again.

里卡多一直看着我。 我耸了耸肩。“对不起。 这些都是规定，”我解释道。 里卡多的脸变得很阴沉。 “但我喜欢追逐新的西尔玛，”他有点抱怨地说。 “很有趣。”我很理解地拍了拍他的胳膊。 “是的，好吧，规则不是我定的，里克。 我只是强制执行，”我说。 在那之后，我离开了他的腿。 我坐在他旁边的草地上。 里卡多很长一段时间没有说话。 最后，他站了起来。 他和我握的手很好。 “朱妮·B，做你的男朋友很有趣，”他说。 “但我认为是时候开始追逐其他人了。” 之后，他挥手告别。 然后他又跑去追新的西尔玛了。

My eyes got big and wide at him. "NO, RICARDO!" I shouted. "NO, NO, NO! COME BACK! COME BACK!" But Ricardo kept right on running. I felt weakish and sickish inside. I slumped back down in the grass. Only too bad for me. Because just then, the bell rang for the end of recess. And all the children started running to the building. But not me. I just kept sitting and sitting in the grass. My teacher called my name. Her name is Mrs. She has another name, too. But I just like Mrs. and that's all. Finally, Mrs. came out to get me. "Junie B., honey?" she said. "Why aren't you coming in? What's the trouble?" I looked up real depressed.

我瞪大了眼睛看着他。 “不,里卡多!”我叫道。“不，不，不！”回来!回来!”但里卡多还是继续跑。 我内心感到虚弱和病态。 我又瘫倒在草地上。 对我来说太糟糕了。因为就在这时，课铃响了，下课了。 所有的孩子都开始向大楼跑去。 但我不是。我只是一直坐在草地上。 我的老师叫我的名字。 她的名字是太太，她还有另外一个名字。 但我只是喜欢夫人，仅此而已。 最后，太太出来救我。 “朱妮·B，亲爱的？”她说。 “你为什么不进来？” 出什么事了？”我抬头一看，真的很沮丧。

"Ricardo," I said real sad. "Ricardo is the trouble." After that, tears came in my eyes. And my nose started to run very much. Mrs. closed her eyes. "Oh no. Not boy problems," she said. "Not already." After that, she gave me a tissue. And she stood me on my feet. And she walked with me to Room Nine.

“里卡多，”我难过地说。 “里卡多是个麻烦。”在那之后，泪水涌上了我的眼睛。 我的鼻子开始流鼻涕。 太太闭上了眼睛。“哦,不。 不是男孩的问题，”她说。 “不了。”之后，她给了我一张纸巾。 她把我扶起来。 她陪我走到九号房。
