9. Loose Feet

9/Loose Feet After the church, everybody went to the reception. The reception is a big, giant room where you sit at tables. And you listen to loud music. And you eat food and cake. And then wait till you hear this! The bridesmaids' table was the longest table in the whole entire place! I runned right to the end of that hugie thing. And guess what? There was a teensy card with my name printed on it! "Here! Here! I am sitting here!" I hollered to Mother. Just then, I saw Aunt Flo. She was coming over with Bo.

从教堂出来后，每个人都去参加招待会。 接待处是一个巨大的房间，你坐在桌子旁。 你听着嘈杂的音乐。 你吃食物和蛋糕。 然后等着听这个！伴娘的桌子是整个地方最长的桌子！我一直跑到那个庞然大物的尽头。 你猜怎么着？有一张很小的卡片，上面印着我的名字！“在这里!这里!我坐在这儿呢！”我对母亲喊道。 就在那时，我看到了弗洛姨妈。 她是和波一起来的。

"Uh-oh," I said very nervous. Then I quick hided behind Mother's skirt. But Aunt Flo didn't even look mad! She bended down next to me in her beautiful wedding gown. And she held my hand real nice. "Junie B., honey? I didn't see what happened in the church. But Bo said you tried to take her basket. Is that true?" I shook my head very fast. "No, Aunt Flo. I didn't try to take her whole entire basket. I promise. I just wanted two teensy petals and that's all," I said. I held up two fingers. "Just this many, Aunt Flo. Just two. 'Cause Bo got all the rest of the petals. And so two would be fair of her, I think." Aunt Flo looked at Bo. "Bo, honey? Did you hear that? Junie B.

“哦哦，”我非常紧张地说。 然后我赶紧躲到妈妈的裙子后面。 可是弗洛姑妈一点也不生气！她穿着漂亮的婚纱，在我旁边弯下腰来。 她很好地握着我的手。 “朱妮·B，亲爱的？我没看到教堂里发生的事。 但是菠说你想拿她的篮子。 这是真的吗？”我很快地摇了摇头。 “不，弗洛姨妈。我没想把她的篮子全拿走。 我保证。我只想要两片小小的花瓣，仅此而已。”我说。 我伸出两根手指。“就这么多，弗洛姨妈。 只有两个。因为菠把剩下的花瓣都拿走了。 所以我想，对她来说，两个人是公平的。” 弗洛姑妈看着波。“Bo,蜂蜜? 你听到了吗？Junie B。

only wanted two little flower petals." Bo looked shy at me. Then, all of a sudden, she reached into her basket. And she gave me two petals! I smiled real big. "Hey! That is a nice gesture of you, Bo!" I said.

我只想要两片小花瓣。” 波害羞地看着我。突然，她把手伸进篮子里。 她给了我两瓣花瓣！我笑得很开心。 “嘿!你这姿态真好，波！”我说。

After that, Bo smiled back at me. And Aunt Flo put us in our chairs. Bo asked me how old I am. I sat up straight and tall. "I am almost six," I said very proud. Bo did a sad sigh. "Poo," she said. "I'm only five. I'm always the littlest. Always, always, always." I patted her arm very understanding. "Don't worry, little Bo. Someday you will be a grown-up lady, just like me," I said. Bo did a teeny frown. "You're not a grown-up lady," she said. "Yes, I am so a grown-up lady, Bo!" I said back. "Just ask my mother if you don't believe me. 'Cause I acted grown-up for the whole entire wedding, almost." Just then, I quick put my napkin in my lap.

之后，波对我笑了笑。 弗洛阿姨把我们放在椅子上。 波问我多大了。我坐得又直又高。 “我快六岁了，”我很自豪地说。 波悲伤地叹了口气。“呸，”她说。 “我才五岁。我总是最小的。 永远，永远，永远。”我很理解地拍了拍她的胳膊。 “别担心，小波。总有一天你会成为一个成熟的女人，就像我一样，”我说。 波微微皱了皱眉。“你不是一个成熟的女士，”她说。 “是的，我是一个成熟的女人，波！”我说。 “如果你不相信我，就去问我妈妈。 因为我几乎在整个婚礼上都表现得很成熟。” 就在这时，我迅速把餐巾放在腿上。

"See this, Bo? See how I am putting this napkin in my lap? If I was a baby, I would tuck it in my collar. But grown-up ladies put them in their laps." I sat up even taller. "And see how straight and tall I am sitting? This is how grown-up ladies sit," I said. "We never slouch and slump." After that, I sat very still. And I didn't move a muscle. "Now look at me, Bo," I said out of the corner of my mouth. "See how still I am sitting? I am not even squirming. On account of grown-up ladies do not get ants in their pants, that's why." I folded my hands very polite. "Now I am folding my hands very polite. And I am waiting for my food." Bo kept on looking at me.

“看到了吗，菠？”看到我把餐巾放在腿上了吗？ 如果我是个婴儿，我会把它塞在衣领里。 但是成年女士们会把它们放在腿上。” 我坐得更高了。“看我坐得多挺拔啊！” 这是成年女士的坐姿。”我说。 “我们从不懈怠和消沉。” 在那之后，我静静地坐着。 我一动也没动。 “现在看着我，波，”我从嘴角边说。 “你看我坐得多安静？” 我甚至没有蠕动。因为成年女士们不会坐立不安，这就是原因。” 我很有礼貌地交叉双手。 “现在我非常礼貌地交叉双手。 我在等我的食物。” 波一直看着我。

"The end," I said. After that, I kept sitting there a real long time. That's how come Bo got tired of looking at me. And she started playing with her spoon. She clinked it on her water glass. Also, she clinked it on her plate. And her knife. And her head. "Grown-up ladies do not clink their spoons," I said. Bo shrugged her shoulders at me. After that, she made a puppet out of her napkin. And she made it bite my nose. "Hey!" I said very surprised. Then I quick did a frown. "Grown-up ladies do not play with their napkins," I said. After that, I did a big sigh. 'Cause my food

“结束了，”我说。从那以后，我在那里坐了很长时间。 所以波才懒得看我。 她开始玩她的勺子。 她把它碰在水杯上叮当作响。 而且，她把它碰在盘子上。 还有她的刀。还有她的头。 “成年女士是不会碰勺子的，”我说。 波朝我耸了耸肩。 之后，她用餐巾做了一个木偶。 她让它咬我的鼻子。 “嘿!”我说很惊讶。 然后我迅速皱了皱眉。“成年女士是不会玩她们的餐巾纸的，”我说。 之后，我深深地叹了口气。 因为我的食物
