8. Getting Ready

8/ Getting Ready Room Eight and Room Nine practiced for graduation together. We practiced on the stage in the auditorium. 'Cause a stage is where people get diplomas, of course! Mrs. showed everyone how to walk up the steps without tripping. She played music for us to march in with. And guess what? Room Nine marched better than Room Eight. Except Paulie Allen Puffer kept bowing real silly. And Lynnie kept stepping on people's heels. Plus shy William ran out of

八号房间和九号房间一起为毕业做准备。 我们在礼堂的舞台上练习。 因为舞台是人们获得文凭的地方！夫人教大家怎样走上台阶而不被绊倒。 她为我们奏乐入场。 你猜怎么着？九号房比八号房走得好。 除了保利·艾伦·帕弗一直傻乎乎地鞠躬。 林妮总是踩着别人的脚。 加上害羞的威廉跑出去了

the auditorium. And down the hall. And Gus Vallony had to chase him around the parking lot. After that, Principal talked to William a real long time. Plus also, his mother was called in, I believe. "I am not like William," I told Lucille and Grace. "I am not even nervous of walking up on that stage, hardly." "Me neither," said that Grace. "I am not nervous of walking up on that stage, hardly, either." Lucille fluffed her fluffy hair. "My nanna says that I was born to be on the stage," she said. "Nanna says that people enjoy looking at me. Because I am a feast for their eyes." After that, Lucille wrinkled her nose very cute. And she skipped around and around in a circle.

礼堂里。穿过大厅。 格斯·瓦洛尼不得不在停车场追着他跑。 在那之后，校长和威廉谈了很长时间。 另外，我想他妈妈也被叫去了。 “我不像威廉，”我告诉露西尔和格蕾丝。 “走上那个舞台，我一点也不紧张。” “我也是，”格蕾丝说。 “走上那个舞台，我一点也不紧张。” 露西尔揉了揉她蓬松的头发。 “我奶奶说我天生就是当演员的，”她说。 “外婆说人们喜欢看我。 因为我是他们眼前的美餐。” 在那之后，露西尔皱起她的鼻子，非常可爱。 她绕着圈子蹦蹦跳跳。

Grace and I watched her for a real long time. Then, finally, Lucille stopped skipping. And all of us hugged and hugged. 'Cause we are the bestest three friends I ever even saw. Graduation week went by very fast. Friday night came in a jiffy. I felt so excited, I couldn't even eat my dinner that good. I got down from my chair. And I ran and ran all over the house. "Settle down," said Daddy. "Settle down," said Mother. "Settle down!" I hollered. Then I laughed real loud. 'Cause I am a hoot, that's why! Finally, it was time to go.

格蕾丝和我观察了她很长时间。 最后，露西尔停止了跳绳。 我们都拥抱了又拥抱。 因为我们是我见过最好的三个朋友。 毕业周过得很快。 星期五的晚上转眼就到了。 我感到很兴奋，我甚至不能吃我的晚餐那么好。 我从椅子上站了起来。我在房子里跑来跑去。 “安静下来，”爸爸说。 “安静点，”妈妈说。 “下来!”我大声喊道。 然后我大笑起来。因为我是个傻瓜，这就是原因！最后，该走了。

Mother got my graduation box off the top of the 'frigerator. I jumped up and down. "Let me carry that, Mother! Please, please, please? I want to carry my box to Room Nine myself. 'Cause that's where all of us are getting dressed." Mother handed me the box. Then Daddy said, "Settle down" again. And all of us drove to my school. Grampa and Grandma Miller met us in the parking lot. I hugged them hello. Then I zoomed to Room Nine speedy fast. And guess what? All of the children from morning and afternoon kindergarten were getting ready together! I ran through the door. "IT'S ME,

妈妈从冰箱顶上取下了我的毕业礼盒。 我跳上跳下。“让我来拿吧，妈妈！”求你了，求你了？ 我想自己把箱子搬到九号房去。 因为那是我们所有人穿衣服的地方。” 母亲把盒子递给我。然后爸爸又说：“安静点。” 我们都开车去了我的学校。 米勒爷爷和奶奶在停车场接我们。 我拥抱他们问好。然后我飞快地飞到九号房间。 你猜怎么着？上午和下午幼儿园的孩子们都在一起准备！我跑进了门。 “是我,

PEOPLE! IT'S JUNIE B. JONES! I AM HERE FOR GRADUATION!" Lucille and Grace came rushing over. They were already wearing their caps and gowns. And they looked marvelous, I tell you! "Hurry up, Junie B.," said Lucille. "Hurry up and put on your cap and gown. Our teacher is going to take our picture." "Yes!" said that Grace. "Hurry! Hurry!" She quick grabbed my box away from me. And she took out my cap and gown. Grace did a gasp. "Oh no, Junie B.! What happened?" she said. "What happened to your cap and gown?"

人!是琼·b·琼斯！我是来参加毕业典礼的！”露西尔和格蕾丝冲了过来。 他们已经戴上了帽子，穿上了长袍。 我告诉你，他们看起来非常棒！“快点，琼·B，”露西尔说。 “快点，戴上帽子，穿上长袍。 老师要给我们拍照了。” “是的！”格蕾丝说。“快点!快点!”她迅速从我手中夺过我的盒子。 她拿走了我的帽子和长袍。 格蕾丝倒吸了一口气。“哦，不，琼？发生什么事了？”她说。 “你的帽子和长袍怎么了？”

My stomach felt squeezy and sickish. 'Cause that outfit looked spottier than I remembered. "Put it down, Grace," I said. "Don't show people. I don't want anyone to notice." Lucille laughed very loud.

我的胃感到挤压和恶心。 因为你的衣服看起来比我记忆中的还要脏。 “把它放下，格蕾丝，”我说。 “不要给别人看。我不想让任何人注意到。” 露西尔笑得很大声。
