2. Rhymes

2/ Rhymes I sat at my table very nice. Mrs. passed out colored paper for our invitations. Also, she passed out curly ribbon. And lace. And paste. And bottles of sparkly glitter. "Just as a reminder," she said, "we do not paste glitter in our eyebrows. And we do not put lace up our noses. And above all… we do not glue curly ribbon to our heads and pretend that it's long hair." She looked and looked at me. I squirmed in my seat a little bit.

我坐在我的桌子很好。 夫人给我们发了彩色的请柬。 她还发了卷丝带。 和花边。粘贴。还有闪闪发光的瓶子。 “提醒一下，”她说，“我们不会在眉毛上涂闪光粉。 我们也不会在鼻子上系鞋带。 最重要的是……我们不会把卷丝带粘在头上，假装那是长发。” 她看了又看我。 我在座位上有点局促不安。

'Cause that woman has a memory like a hawk, I tell you. Finally, Mrs. went to the board. And she picked up her chalk. "On the inside of our cards, we're going to write a poem about graduation. Does anyone have any ideas for the first line?" My friend named Grace waved her hand all around in the air. "Roses are red! Roses are red!" she called out. "YES!" hollered Room Nine. "ROSES ARE RED!" Mrs. smiled. She wrote it on the board for us. "Okay. Now what about the second line?" she asked. Room Nine hollered again. "VIOLETS ARE BLUE! VIOLETS ARE

因为我告诉你，那个女人的记性像鹰一样好。 最后，太太走到黑板前。 她拿起粉笔。 “我们要在卡片的里面写一首关于毕业的诗。 有人对第一行有什么想法吗？”我的朋友格蕾丝在空中挥舞着她的手。 “玫瑰是红色的！”玫瑰是红色的！”她喊道。 “是的！”九号房间大声喊道。 “玫瑰是红色的！”太太笑了。 她给我们写在黑板上了。 “好吧。现在第二行呢？”她问。 九号房间又叫了起来。“紫罗兰是蓝色的！”紫罗兰是

BLUE! VIOLETS ARE BLUE!" Mrs. wrote that line, too. "Very good, class," she said. "Now who can think of the third line? Maybe we should try to mention something about graduation in this one. Does anyone have any ideas?" A shy boy named William stood up next to his table. "Graduation is here," he said kind of nervous. Mrs. grinned real big. "Excellent job, William! Excellent!" She printed it on the board. "All right. There's just one more line to go," she said. "Let's try to make the last word rhyme with the word blue, okay?" She read the first three lines out loud to us. "Roses are red,

蓝色的!紫罗兰是蓝色的！”这句话也是太太写的。 “很好，同学们，”她说。 “现在谁能想出第三行？” 也许我们应该试着在这篇文章中提到一些关于毕业的事情。 有人有什么想法吗？”一个名叫威廉的害羞的男孩站在他的桌子旁边。 “毕业典礼到了，”他有点紧张地说。 太太咧嘴一笑。“干得好，威廉！”太好了!”她把它印在黑板上。 “好吧。还有一条线要排，”她说。 “让我们试着让最后一个单词和单词blue押韵，好吗？”她把前三行大声念给我们听。 “玫瑰是红色的，

Violets are blue. Graduation is here …" Room Nine thought and thought. Then—all of a sudden—rhymes started coming from all over the place! "My dress will be new!" called Lucille. "My dad's name is Lou!" called Jamal Hall. "We made it! Woo-boo!" called Lynnie. Just then, Paulie Allen Puffer springed right out of his chair. And he started laughing his head off. "THE ZOO IS P.U.!" he shouted his loudest. And then all of Room Nine laughed our heads off, too! 'Cause P.U. is the silliest rhyme we ever heard of! Mrs. clapped her mad hands together. "Boys and girls! That's enough," she grouched.

紫罗兰是蓝色的。九号教室想了又想。 然后，突然间，押韵从四面八方涌来！“我的衣服会是新的！”露西尔叫道。 “我爸爸叫卢！”贾马尔·霍尔叫道。 “我们成功了！”呜呜！”林妮叫道。 就在这时，保利·艾伦·帕弗从椅子上跳了起来。 他笑得前仰后合。 “动物园是P.U.!”他大声喊道。 然后九号房的人也都笑得前仰后合！因为部件 是我们听过的最愚蠢的押韵！太太疯狂地拍了拍手。 “孩子们！”够了，”她抱怨道。

She hurried to Paulie Allen Puffer's table. And she put him back in his seat. "I do not appreciate that kind of behavior, young man," she said. "We're trying to write a nice class poem here, Paulie Allen. And your rhyme was entirely inappropriate." After that, I tried to stop giggling. But that silly poem kept on staying inside my head. And then, out of nowhere, another funny poem popped right into my brain! And I couldn't even hold it inside me! I quick jumped up on my chair. "ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE. GRADUATION IS HERE, AND YOUR FEET SMELL LIKE STINK!" I shouted. After that, Room Nine could not even control themselves again. 'Cause that poem

她急忙走到保利·艾伦·帕弗的桌旁。 她把他放回座位上。 “我不喜欢那种行为，年轻人，”她说。 “我们在努力写一首好听的班级诗，保利·艾伦。 你的押韵完全不合适。” 在那之后，我试着不去傻笑。 但那首愚蠢的诗一直在我的脑海里。 然后，不知从哪里，另一首有趣的诗突然出现在我的脑海里！我都憋不住了！我迅速跳到椅子上。 “玫瑰是红色的，紫罗兰是蓝色的。 毕业了，你的脚臭死了！”我叫道。 在那之后，九号房间又无法控制自己了。 因为那首诗

was the funniest thing they ever even heard! My teacher's eyes got big and wide at me. "Junie B. Jones! Didn't you hear a word I just said?" she said very annoyed. Then Mrs. hurried to my table. And she took me into the hall. And she pointed me straight to the office.

是他们听过的最有趣的事！老师瞪大了眼睛看着我。 “琼·b·琼斯！你没听见我刚才说的一个字吗？”她很生气地说。 然后太太急忙走到我的桌子旁。 她把我带进了大厅。 她直接把我指到办公室。
