8. William

8/ William All of Room Nine kept on staring and staring at that boy. "Look at his little arms," whispered that Grace. "Where are his little muscles, do you think?" "William doesn't have any little muscles," said Paulie Allen Puffer. "I've seen the wind blow him down on the playground." "Yeah," said Roger. "William doesn't even know what a pull-up is, I bet. Our team is going to look worse than ever." Mrs. snapped her angry fingers at us.

9号房间的所有人都盯着那个男孩看了又看。 “看他的小胳膊，”格蕾丝低声说。 “你觉得他的小肌肉在哪里？”“威廉一点肌肉都没有，”保利·艾伦·普弗说。 “我看到风把他吹倒在操场上。” “是的，”罗杰说。“我敢打赌，威廉甚至不知道引体向上是什么。 我们的球队看起来会比以往任何时候都糟糕。” 太太生气地对我们打了个响指。

That woman has ears like a hawk. Strong Frankie went first. The Room Eight teacher lifted him up to the high bar. Then, quick as a wink, he did a loud grunt. And he pulled his chin right up to the bar. "ONE!" hollered Room Eight. Strong Frankie did another grunt. Then he pulled himself up again. "TWO!" shouted Room Eight. After that, he just kept right on going. Strong Frankie kept grunting and pulling. And Room Eight kept on counting. "THREE!" "FOUR!" "FIVE!" "SIX!" "SEVEN!"

那个女人的耳朵像老鹰一样灵敏。 强壮的弗兰基先走。 八室的老师把他举到高杆上。 然后，眨眼间，他大声地哼了一声。 他把下巴抬到吧台上。 “一！”八号房喊道。 强壮的弗兰基又哼了一声。 然后他又爬了起来。 “二！”八号房喊道。 从那以后，他就一直往前走。 强壮的弗兰基不停地哼哼着，拉着。 8号房间一直在数。 “三!”“四!”“五!”“六!”“七!”

Finally, Strong Frankie dropped down to the ground. "SEVEN! SEVEN! STRONG FRANKIE DID SEVEN!" shouted New Thelma. Room Nine sat down in the grass real gloomy. 'Cause William was next, that's why. We covered our eyes and peeked through our fingers. Mrs. lifted him up to the pull-up bar. It was not fun to watch. 'Cause William just kept dangling and dangling up there. And he didn't even move a muscle. Pretty soon, Room Eight started to laugh. It was loudish and meanish. I made a fist at those people. "Hey! You want a piece of this?" I shouted real mad. Mrs. snapped her fingers at me again.

最后，强壮的弗兰基倒在了地上。 “七!七个!坚强的弗兰基做了七个！”新西尔玛喊道。 九号房间坐在草地上，真阴森。 因为威廉是下一个，这就是原因。 我们捂着眼睛，从指缝里偷看。 太太把他举到引体向上的杠上。 这看起来一点也不好玩。因为威廉一直在上面晃来晃去。 而他却纹丝不动。 很快，8号房间开始大笑起来。 那声音又大又刻薄。 我向那些人握拳。 “嘿!你想尝尝这个吗？”我气得大叫起来。 太太又对我打了个响指。

Then, all of a sudden, William kicked his legs a little bit. Then he kicked them again. And wowie wow wow! His chin went right up to the bar! And that is not even the best part! Because as soon as he came down, he went right back up again! I springed up from the grass. "TWO, WILLIAM! YOU DID TWO PULL-UPS! AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN GRUNT!" I hollered very thrilled. William went up again. My mouth fell all the way open. "THREE, WILLIAM! YOU DID THREE!" After that, all of Room Nine springed up from the grass, too. "FOUR, WILLIAM! FOUR!" we shouted.

然后，突然，威廉踢了踢他的腿。 然后他又踢他们。 哇，哇，哇！他的下巴撞到栏杆上了！这还不是最精彩的！因为他一下来，就马上又爬上去了！我从草地上跳了起来。 “两个,威廉!你做了两个引体向上！你连哼一声都没有！”我激动得大叫起来。 威廉又爬了上去。我的嘴都张大了。 “三,威廉!你做了三个！”在那之后，9号房间的所有人也从草地上跳了出来。 “四,威廉!四个！”我们喊道。

"FIVE, WILLIAM!" we shouted. "SIX!" we shouted. "SEVEN … EIGHT … NINE … TEN!" we shouted. William dangled for a little while longer. Then he kicked his legs one more time. And what do you know? "ELEVEN!" It was the happiest day of our whole entire kindergarten. When William dropped down, all of Room Nine piled on top of him. "WILLIAM! WILLIAM! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT!" we hollered real joyful. Pretty soon, we heard a muffly voice. It said, "Get off of me," I think. Then all of us got up. And we stood

“五，威廉！”我们喊道。 “六！”我们喊道。“七……八……九……十！” 威廉又犹豫了一会儿。 然后他又踢了踢自己的腿。 你知道什么？“十一!”这是我们整个幼儿园最快乐的一天。 威廉掉下去的时候，九号房间的人都压在他身上。 “威廉!威廉!你做到了！你成功了！”我们高兴地喊道。 很快，我们听到一个低沉的声音。 它好像在说“放开我” 然后我们都站了起来。我们站着

William on his feet. Room Nine danced all around that guy. Also, we tried to lift him on our shoulders. 'Cause he was our hero, that's why! Only our shoulders kept on collapsing. Plus William's shoes kicked us in the face. Then, all of a sudden, a bright idea popped into my head! "People! Wait! I've got it! I've got it! I know how to show William he is our hero!" I said. After that, I whispered my idea to Mrs. And guess what? She took the red cape right off my shoulders. And she pinned it onto William's shoulders instead! Just like I told her! "William saved the day!" I said. "William is our superhero. His name should be Super William, I think!"

威廉站起来了。九号房间围着那家伙跳舞。 我们还试着用肩膀把他抬起来。 因为他是我们的英雄，这就是为什么只有我们的肩膀不停地塌下来。 而且威廉的鞋踢到了我们的脸。 然后，突然间，一个好主意出现在我的脑海里！“人!等等!我找到了！我找到了！我知道如何向威廉展示他是我们的英雄！”我说。 在那之后，我把我的想法悄悄告诉了夫人你猜怎么着？ 她把我肩上的红斗篷拿走了。 她把它别在了威廉的肩膀上！就像我告诉她的那样！“威廉挽救了局面！”我说。 “威廉是我们的超级英雄。 我觉得他应该叫超级威廉！”
