6. Losing

6/ Losing Room Nine was not a good sport to me. They kept saying it was my fault we lost the race. I stamped my foot at those people. "No, it is not my fault!" I said back. "My shoe flied off. And so what am I supposed to do? Run in my sock foot?" Meanie Jim got close to my face. "Yes, you looney bird!" he yelled. "That's exactly what you were supposed to do! You were supposed to run in your sock foot!"

失去9号房间对我来说可不是件好玩的事。 他们一直说比赛输了是我的错。 我对那些人跺了跺脚。 “不，这不是我的错！”我说。 “我的鞋飞走了。那我该怎么做？ 跑进我的袜子里？”卑鄙的吉姆靠近我的脸。 “是的，你这只疯鸟！” “这正是你应该做的！”你应该穿着袜子跑步的！”

I thought very hard about that. "Well, well. What do you know?" I said kind of quiet. "It looks like Captain Field Day has learned a little something here." Room Nine did a groan. I backed away from them real careful. Or else they might tackle me, possibly. I backed all the way to Mrs. "They're mad at me," I said. "They're mad because I lost the race." Mrs. ruffled my hair. "It's not your fault, Junie B.," she said. "Your shoe came off by accident. And besides, Field Day is not about who wins or loses. Field Day is about having fun." I hanged down my head. "Yeah, only what's so fun about losing? That's what I would like to know," I said. Just then, Mrs. made a 'nouncement.

我想了很久。 “嗯,好。你知道些什么？”我说的是有点安静。 “看来菲尔德·戴上尉在这里学到了一点东西。” 9号房间发出一阵呻吟。我非常小心地向后退。 否则他们可能会抓住我。 我一路退到Mrs。“他们在生我的气，”我说。 “他们很生气，因为我输了比赛。” 太太把我的头发弄乱了。“这不是你的错，朱妮·B，”她说。 “你的鞋不小心掉了。 再说了，野战日跟谁赢谁输无关。 野战日就是玩得开心。” 我垂下了头。“是啊，只是失败有什么好玩的？” 这正是我想知道的，”我说。 就在这时，太太宣布了一件事。

"Boys and girls, I don't want to hear one more word about winners and losers, okay? Field Day is a day to run around in the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. We came out here to have fun and get some exercise. And we're not going to care one little bit about who wins or who loses." As soon as Mrs. walked away, New Thelma skipped up next to me. "Room Eight is winning," she said real squealy. "Room Eight is beating Room Nine one to nothing." I made a mad face at her. "Yeah, only didn't you hear my teacher, Thelma?" I said. "Room Nine doesn't even care who wins and loses. Room Nine just came out here to run in the air. So ha ha on you." "Yeah," said Ricardo.

“孩子们，我不想再听到一个关于赢家和输家的词，好吗？” 野战日是在新鲜空气中奔跑，享受阳光的日子。 我们来这里是为了找点乐子，做做运动。 我们一点也不关心谁赢谁输。” 夫人一走开，新西尔玛就跳到我旁边。 “八号房要赢了。”她尖声说。 “八号房比九号房强1比0 ” 我对她做了个鬼脸。“是啊，只是你没听见我老师西尔玛的话吗？”我说。 “九号房根本不在乎谁输谁赢。 9号房间刚出来在空中奔跑。 所以哈哈。”“是的，”里卡多说。

"Yeah," said Jamal Hall. "Yeah," said Lynnie. Then all of those people gave me a high five. 'Cause I made a good point, apparently. Pretty soon, the Room Eight teacher blew her whistle again. "The next event will be the softball throw," she said. "Unlike the relay race, this contest is not going to be a team event. The softball throw is for anyone who wants to join in. If you'd like to see how far you can throw the ball, please form a line behind me." Paulie Allen Puffer was the first one in line. "I'm a good thrower," he said. "I'm probably the best thrower in Room Nine, in fact." Lynnie lined up next. "I'm a good thrower, too," she said.

“是的，”贾马尔·霍尔说。“是的，”林妮说。 然后所有人都跟我击掌。 显然我说得很对 很快，八号房的老师又吹起了口哨。 “下一个项目是垒球，”她说。 “与接力赛不同，这场比赛不是一场团体比赛。 垒球是任何人都可以参加的。 如果你想看看你能把球扔多远，请在我身后排成一排。” Paulie Allen Puffer是第一个排队的人。 “我投掷得很好，”他说。 “事实上，我可能是九号房投掷得最好的。” 林妮排在后面。“我投掷得也很好，”她说。

"Me too," said Jamal Hall. Just then, Crybaby William pulled on my cape. 'Cause he wanted to whisper again, that's why. "I'm not good at this event, either," he said real quiet. "I don't have to do it, right, Captain? I don't have to throw the ball."

“我也是。”贾马尔·霍尔说。 就在这时，爱哭鬼威廉拉上了我的斗篷。 因为他想再次低语，这就是原因。 “我也不擅长这种事，”他平静地说。 “我不必这么做，对吧，船长？” 我不需要扔球。”

I put my arm around his shoulder. "No, you don't," I said. "You don't have to worry about this at all, William. Paulie Allen Puffer is going to win this thing in a breeze for us." Just then, a boy from Room Eight jumped in line. New Thelma did a loud squeal. "Ooooh! It's Strong Frankie! Strong Frankie is the strongest boy in kindergarten!" she said very thrilled. All of us looked at him. Strong Frankie made a big arm muscle. It was largish and roundish. New Thelma cheered and cheered. "Go, Strong Frankie! Go, Strong Frankie! Go, Strong Frankie!" she hollered. I tapped on her. "You are getting on my nerves, madam," I

我用胳膊搂住他的肩膀。 “不，你不知道，”我说。“你完全不用担心这个，威廉。 保利·艾伦·帕弗将轻而易举地为我们赢得这场比赛。” 就在这时，8号房间的一个男孩插队了。 《新西尔玛》发出了响亮的尖叫。 “唔!是强壮的弗兰基！坚强的弗兰基是幼儿园里最强壮的男孩！”她激动地说。 我们都看着他。强壮的弗兰基手臂肌肉发达。 它又大又圆。 新西尔玛欢呼雀跃。 “去吧，强壮的弗兰基！”加油，强壮的弗兰基！去吧，强壮的弗兰基！”她喊道。 我轻拍了她一下。“你使我心烦，夫人，”我说
