5. A Million Bucks

5/ A Million Bucks Me and my bestest friend named Grace rode the bus home together. We held our boxes very tight on our laps. And we didn't open them. "We are being careful about our graduation gowns, aren't we, Grace?" I said. "We are being careful not to soil them." "Yes," said that Grace. "We are." I looked down at my box. "I am very proud of us for not opening these things," I said. "I am very proud of us, too," said that Grace. We rode and rode.

一百万美元我和我最好的朋友格蕾丝一起乘公共汽车回家。 我们把箱子紧紧地放在腿上。 我们没有打开它们。“我们对我们的毕业礼服很小心，是不是，格蕾丝？”我说。 “我们很小心，不要弄脏它们。” “是的，”格蕾丝说。“我们”。 我低头看着我的盒子。“我为我们没有打开这些东西感到骄傲，”我说。 “我也为我们感到骄傲，”格蕾丝说。 我们骑啊骑啊。

I did a sigh. "It's too bad we can't just peek at them a little bit, though … isn't it, Grace?" I said. "One teensy peek wouldn't even hurt anything, I bet." That Grace didn't say anything. I tapped on her. "Okay, here's what I'm thinking, Grace. I'm thinking we should do one little peek, and that's all," I said. "What do you say, friend?" Grace made her voice very loud. "No, Junie B.! No! We are not allowed to! Can't you follow orders? Huh? Do you want to soil these things?" I did a huffy breath at her. "But peeking will not even soil them, Grace," I said back. "Peeking is just looking with your eyes … only faster."

我叹了口气。“不过，我们不能偷看一下，真是太可惜了……是不是，格蕾丝？”我说。 “我敢打赌，哪怕偷看一眼也不会有什么坏处。” 格蕾丝什么都没说。 我轻拍了她一下。“好吧，我是这么想的，格蕾丝。 我想我们应该偷看一下，仅此而已，”我说。 “你说呢，朋友？”格蕾丝的声音很响。 “不，朱妮·b ！不!我们不能这么做！你不能服从命令吗？ 嗯?你想弄脏这些东西吗？”我朝她吹了口气。 “但是偷看甚至不会弄脏它们，格蕾丝，”我回答。 “偷看就是用眼睛看……只是速度更快。”

Only too bad for me. Because Grace kept on saying no, no, no. And so I had to wait and wait for that stubborn girl to get off the bus before I could peek. After she was gone, I looked in my box zippedy quick. And what do you know! I didn't even soil anything! I got off the bus and ran to my house. My grandma Helen Miller was babysitting my brother. She was feeding him a snack in his high chair. "Grandma Miller! Grandma Miller! I got my cap and gown! It is right here in this box!" I said. "Would you like me to try it on for you, Grandma? Huh? Would you?" Grandma Miller clapped her hands. "Of course I would!" she said real thrilled. "Try it on right now."

对我来说太糟糕了。因为格蕾丝一直说不不不。 所以我不得不等啊等，等那个固执的女孩下车，我才可以偷看。 她走后，我飞快地翻了翻我的盒子。 你知道什么！我什么都没弄脏！我下了车，跑回家。 我奶奶海伦·米勒照看我弟弟。 她正坐在他的高脚椅上喂他吃点心。 “奶奶米勒!奶奶米勒!我拿到了帽子和长袍！它就在这个盒子里！”我说。 “你想让我试穿一下吗，奶奶？” 嗯?你会吗?”米勒奶奶拍了拍手。 “我当然愿意！”她激动地说。 “现在就试试。”

"Okey-doke!" I said. Then I quick put on my cap and gown. And I danced all around. "See me, Grandma? See what I look like? I look like a graduation girl!" I said. I hopped around Ollie's high chair. "My teacher said not to play in this. But hopping is not the same as playing," I said. Just then, I heard the front door open. And hurray, hurray! Mother was home early from work! Her whole mouth came open when she saw me. "Oh my goodness!" she said. "Look how cute you are!" "I know it, Mother! I know I am cute!" I said. "I look like a million bucks in this getup!" I twirled all around in front of her.

“好的!”我说。然后我迅速戴上帽子，穿上长袍。 我到处跳舞。“看见我了吗，奶奶？” 看到我的样子了吗？我看起来像个毕业女生！”我说。 我在奥利的高脚椅上跳来跳去。 “我的老师说不要在这里玩。 但是跳和玩是不一样的，”我说。 就在这时，我听到前门开了。 万岁，万岁！妈妈下班回来得很早！她看到我的时候张大了嘴巴。 “哦，天哪！”她说。 “看你多可爱！”“我知道，妈妈！”我知道我很可爱！”我说。 “我穿这身衣服帅呆了！”我在她面前转来转去。

"See me twirling, Mother? Twirling is not the same as playing," I said. After I stopped twirling, I fell down on the floor. Falling on the floor is what comes after twirling. It cannot be helped, normally. Mother picked me up. "Maybe you should take this off before you get it dirty," she said. "No, Mother. No," I said. "I want to keep it on. Please let me? Please, please!" I quick ran to Ollie's high chair. And I ducked down behind it. Ollie peeked around at me. He had sloppy on his face. "I am not a sloppy baby like Ollie," I said. "I won't get this dirty. I promise." But Mother shook her head. "I'm sorry, Junie B. But it's just not a good idea to play in your gown," she said.

“看到我在旋转吗，妈妈？”旋转和玩耍不一样，”我说。 当我停止旋转后，我跌倒在地板上。 在旋转之后，摔倒在地板上。 通常情况下，这是没有办法的。 妈妈把我抱起来。“也许你应该在把它弄脏之前把它脱下来，”她说。 “不,妈妈。“不，”我说。“我想一直戴着它。 请让我？请,请!”我飞快地跑向奥利的高椅。 我躲到它后面。 奥利偷看了我一眼。 他脸上抹了一层邋遢。 “我不像奥利那样马虎，”我说。 “我可不想弄得这么脏。我保证。” 但是妈妈摇了摇头。 “我很抱歉，朱尼·b，但穿着你的长袍玩不是个好主意，”她说。

After that, Mother and Grandma Miller blocked the high chair. And I couldn't run away again. "Shoot," I said. "I am surrounded." Mother took my graduation outfit off of me. And she put it back in the box. Then she put the box way on top of the 'frigerator. "Let's store it up here for safekeeping," she

在那之后，妈妈和米勒奶奶挡住了高椅子。 我不能再逃跑了。 “开枪，”我说。“我被包围了。” 妈妈把我的毕业装脱了。 然后她把它放回盒子里。 然后她把盒子放在冰箱的最上面。 “我们把它放在这里保管吧，”她说
