7. Hope

7/Hope Mother bought me a beautiful dress for the wedding. It had golden puffery sleeves. And it came all the way to the floor. Also, she bought me fancy pantyhose with glimmery shimmers on them. And brand-new shiny gold shoes. I could not thank that woman enough! I thanked her the whole time I was in the store. "Thank you, Mother!" I said. "Thank you for my beautiful dress! Thank you for my fancy pantyhose! And thank you, thank you for my shiny gold shoes!" I smiled real big.

希望妈妈给我买了一件漂亮的婚礼礼服。 它有金色的蓬松袖子。 它一直流到地板上。 此外，她还给我买了带微光的漂亮连裤袜。 还有崭新闪亮的金鞋。 我怎么感谢那个女人也不为过！我在店里一直感谢她。 “谢谢你，妈妈！”我说。 “谢谢你送给我漂亮的衣服！”谢谢你送我的花式连裤袜！谢谢你，谢谢你给我的金光闪闪的鞋子！”我笑得很开心。

"Now all I need is my blue fake bunny fur cape. And I will be all set!" Mother shook her head. "Oh no. No way," she said. "We've spent quite enough for one day." I looked and looked at that woman. 'Cause she has no fashion sense, apparently. "Yes, but I have to have a blue fake bunny fur cape, Mother," I said. "Lucille says a blue fur cape adds elegance to any outfit. Lucille says—" Mother interrupted my words. Her voice sounded scary in my ear. "I don't care what Lucille says," she grouched. "No…fur…cape." I quick backed up from her. "All rightie then," I said kind of nervous. After that, I helped carry my bags to the car. And I behaved myself all the way home.

“现在我只需要我的蓝色假兔子毛皮斗篷。 这样我就万事大吉了！”母亲摇了摇头。 “哦,不。不可能，”她说。 “我们今天花的钱已经够多了。” 我看了又看那个女人。 因为她显然没有时尚感。 “是的，但是我必须有一件蓝色的假兔子毛皮斗篷，妈妈，”我说。 露西尔说，蓝色皮草披风可以为任何服装增添优雅。 露西尔说——"妈妈打断了我的话。 她的声音在我耳中听起来很可怕。 “我不管露西尔说什么，”她抱怨道。 “没有……毛……角。”我迅速从她身边退了下来。 “那好吧，”我有点紧张地说。 在那之后，我帮着把我的包搬到车上。 回家的路上我都很乖。

Then I runned to my house with all my beautiful things. And I tried my flower girl dress on for Daddy. And guess what else? I walked all the way down the hall! And I didn't even trip! Daddy gave me a thumbs-up. "What a perfect flower girl you are!" he

然后我带着我所有漂亮的东西跑回家。 我为爸爸试穿了我的花童礼服。 猜猜还有什么？我一路走到大厅那头！我甚至没有绊倒！爸爸对我竖起大拇指。 “你真是个完美的花童！

said real proud. "Thank you," I said. "Only I'm not the real flower girl. Remember, Daddy? I'm just the alternate." Just then, my shoulders drooped a teeny bit. And I didn't feel that happy anymore. 'Cause at first you're very, very glad to be the alternate. And after that… You're not. That night after dinner, Mother tucked me in bed real snug. She kissed me good-night on my head. "Yeah, only don't turn out my light yet. 'Cause I forgot to do something very important," I said. After that, I quick got out of bed again. And I looked out my window.

说真骄傲。“谢谢你，”我说。 “只不过我不是真正的卖花姑娘。 记住,爸爸?我只是替补。” 就在那时，我的肩膀有点下垂。 我不再觉得那么快乐了。 因为一开始你非常非常乐意做替补。 在那之后，你就不是了。 那天晚饭后，妈妈给我掖好被子。 她吻了我的头，祝我晚安。 “是的，只是先别把我的灯关掉。 因为我忘了做一件很重要的事。”我说。 在那之后，我很快又起床了。 我向窗外望去。

"Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might… have the wish I wish tonight." I crossed my fingers for luck. "Dear Star, Please make Bo sick for Aunt Flo's wedding. Love, your friend, Junie B. Jones." I hopped back in my bed. Mother's eyes got big and wide at me. "No, Junie B.! Absolutely not!" she said. "We do not wish for people to get sick. You go back to that window. And you change that wish right now." I raised up my eyebrows at her. "Yeah, only how can I change it? It already got sent," I explained. "Fine," said Mother. "Then go back to the window and wish a nicer wish on top of it." She snapped her fingers and pointed.

“星光，星光灿烂。”今晚我看到的第一颗星。 我希望我能，我希望我能……实现我今晚想要实现的愿望。” 我交叉手指祈求好运。 “亲爱的星星，请在弗洛姨妈的婚礼上让波生病。 爱你的朋友，朱妮·B。 琼斯。”我跳回床上。 妈妈瞪大了眼睛看着我。 “不，朱妮·b ！绝对不行！”她说。 “我们不希望人们生病。 你回到那个窗口。 你现在就要改变这个愿望。” 我对她扬起眉毛。 “是的，只是我怎么能改变它？” 已经寄出去了。”我解释道。 “很好，”妈妈说。“然后回到窗口，在上面许一个更好的愿。” 她打了个响指，指了指。

"Now, Junie B. I mean it." I got out of bed real slow. Then I walked to the window again. And I looked at my same star. "Dear Star, Mother says not to make Bo sick. And so maybe you could just give her a case of head lice and that's all. Thank you and good night." Mother shook her head. "No, Junie B.," she said. "No, no, no." I did a mad breath. "But head lice doesn't even hurt, Mother," I said back. "Head lice just takes a little extra shampoo. And that's all." But Mother kept on shaking her head. And she made me change my wish again.

“好了，朱妮·b，我是认真的。” 我起床很慢。 然后我又走到窗前。 我看着同样的星星。 “亲爱的星星，妈妈说不要让波生病。 所以也许你可以给她一个头虱，仅此而已。 谢谢大家，晚安。” 母亲摇了摇头。“不，朱妮·B，”她说。 “不，不，不。”我疯狂地吸了一口气。 “可是头虱根本不疼啊，妈妈。”我回答。 “头虱只需要多洗一点洗发水。 就是这样。”但妈妈还是不停地摇头。 她又让我改变了愿望。
