4. New Thelma

4/ New Thelma I know two people in Room Eight. First, I know a boy named Handsome Warren. He was a new kid at school. I used to love him. Only now I don't even see him, hardly. So he is just Regular Warren, and that's all. I know another new kid in Room Eight, too. Her name is New Thelma. The first day she came to our school, my boyfriend named Ricardo chased her all over the playground. I hollered and hollered for him to stop. But

我认识八号房的两个人。 首先，我认识一个叫帅沃伦的男孩。 他是学校的新生。 我曾经爱过他。只是现在我几乎都见不到他。 所以他只是普通的沃伦，仅此而已。 我还认识八号房另一个新来的孩子。 她的名字是新西尔玛。她来我们学校的第一天，我的男朋友里卡多在操场上追她。 我不停地喊着让他停下来。 但

he said chasing New Thelma was fun. And so that is how come he dumped me. Dumped is the grown-up word for when you have to find a new Ricardo. Just then, the school door opened. And Room Eight came running out to the playground. The Room Eight teacher was at the front of their line. She was holding someone's hand. I did a gasp. 'Cause guess what? It was New Thelma! New Thelma was the captain of Room Eight, I think! Mrs. smiled at me. "Okay, Junie B. Here's what happens next. As soon as they get out here, you and the team captain of Room Eight shake hands. And then Field Day can begin."

他说追《新西尔玛》很有趣。 这就是他为什么甩了我。 被甩是成年人说的你得找个新里卡多。 就在这时，学校的门开了。 八号房跑到操场上。 八号房的老师站在队伍的最前面。 她握着某人的手。 我倒吸了一口气。因为你猜怎么着？ 是《新西尔玛》！我想新西尔玛是八号房的队长！太太对我笑了笑。 “好吧，朱妮·b，接下来是这样的。 他们一出来，你就和八号房的队长握手。 然后运动会就可以开始了。”

I felt kind of sickish inside. "Yeah, only here's the problem," I said. "I don't actually like that girl. And so I will just shake hands with the Room Eight teacher instead."

我觉得心里有点难受。 “是啊，问题就在这里，”我说。 “我其实不喜欢那个女孩。 所以我只能和八号房的老师握手了。”

"No, Junie B.," said Mrs. "That's not how it's done. Team captains shake hands with each other. It's the way teams show good sportsmanship." After that, Mrs. marched me right over to New Thelma. And wait till you hear this! That pushy girl grabbed my hand without even asking! "Hey, I know you!" she said real giggly. "I've seen you on the playground before! You're a friend of Ricardo's." After that, she shaked my hand very hard. I did not shake back. Mrs. leaned next to my ear. Her voice did not sound happy. "Wish her team good luck, Junie B.," she whispered. "Now." I did a huffy breath.

“不，朱妮·B，”琼斯太太说。“事情不是这样做的。 各队队长互相握手。 这是团队展现良好体育精神的方式。” 在那之后，夫人就把我押到了新西尔玛。 等着听这个吧！那个咄咄逼人的女孩连问都没问就抓住了我的手！“嘿，我认识你！”她咯咯地笑着说。 “我以前在操场上见过你！”你是里卡多的朋友。” 之后，她很用力地握着我的手。 我没有退缩。太太靠在我耳边。 她的声音听起来不太高兴。 “祝她的球队好运，朱妮·B，”她低声说。 “现在。”我喘了口气。

"Okay. Fine. Good luck, Thelma," I grouched. New Thelma said "Good luck" back to me. Then she tried to shake my hand some more. But I quick pulled it away. "Don't touch the merchandise," I said. After that, Mrs. took my arm and we went back to my team. And guess what? Just then, I heard my grampa Miller call my name! I looked up. He and my grandma were coming across the playground with Mother and Daddy! I runned to them speedy fast. "Look, people! Look! Look! I am Captain Field Day! See my cape? I am captain of this whole entire production!" Grampa Miller smiled real proud. Then he

“好吧。很好。祝你好运，西尔玛。”我抱怨道。 新西尔玛也对我说“祝你好运” 然后她又试着和我握手。 但我很快就把它拉开了。 “不要碰那些商品，”我说。 在那之后，夫人拉着我的胳膊，我们回到了我的团队。 你猜怎么着？就在这时，我听到米勒爷爷叫我的名字！我抬起头来。 他和我奶奶正穿过操场，还有爸爸妈妈！我飞快地跑向他们。 “看,人!看！看！我是Field Day队长！看到我的斗篷了吗？ 我是整个剧组的队长！”米勒爷爷骄傲地笑了。 然后,他

picked me up in the air. And he flew me around and around. Just like a real superhero! Pretty soon, I heard Mrs. blow her whistle. Then Grampa Miller put me down. And I hurried back to my team. 'Cause it was Captain Field Day to the rescue!

把我从空中抱起来。他带我飞了一圈又一圈。 就像一个真正的超级英雄！很快，我听到太太吹口哨。 然后米勒爷爷把我放下来。 我赶紧回到我的团队。 因为是菲尔德队长来救你的！
