3. Stumped

3 Stumped Me and Herb walked to Room One from the bus. He waved to Mr. Scary. Then I waved, too. "I am not even scared of that teacher, hardly," I said to just myself. We kept on walking to our seats. May was already sitting at her desk. She was organizing her pencil box. Lennie was at his desk, too.

我和赫伯从公共汽车上走到一号房间。 他向吓人先生挥了挥手。然后我也挥了挥手。 “我一点儿也不怕那个老师，”我对自己说。 我们继续向座位走去。 梅已经坐在她的书桌前了。 她正在整理她的铅笔盒。 伦尼也在他的办公桌前。

Only wait till you hear this. I didn't even recognize that guy, almost! Because Lennie had a thrilling new haircut, that's why! It was pointish and spikish and stiffish and straightish. That hair can puncture you, I think. "Whoa!" I said. "Cool!" said Herb. "Gel," said Lennie. "Shh!" said May. Just then, José came hurrying down the row. He was rushing real fast. 'Cause the bell was almost ready to ring. "Hola, everyone," he said, out of breath. "Hola, hola." Me and Herb and Lennie looked curious at him.

等着听这个吧。 我几乎都没认出那家伙！因为伦尼换了个令人兴奋的新发型，这就是原因！它又尖又尖，又硬又直。 我觉得那头发会刺穿你的。 “哇!”我说。“酷！”赫伯说。 “凝胶，”伦尼说。“嘘！”梅说。 就在这时，约瑟匆匆忙忙地走了过来。 他跑得太快了。因为上课铃就要响了。 “大家好，”他上气不接下气地说。 “你好,你好。”我、赫伯和伦尼好奇地看着他。

José grinned. "Whoops," he said. "Hola means hello in Spanish. I know two different languages, and sometimes I forget which one I'm speaking." "Wow, José!" I said. "You really speak two languages?" "Cool," said Herb. "Big deal," said May. "I know Spanish, too. I can count all the way to three in Spanish. Does anyone want to hear me?" The rest of us looked at each other. "Not really," said Herb.

何塞笑了。“哎呀，”他说。 “Hola在西班牙语中的意思是你好。 我懂两种不同的语言，有时我忘了我说的是哪一种。” “哇,穆!”我说。“你真的会说两种语言？”“酷。”赫伯说。 “有什么大不了的，”梅说。“我也懂西班牙语。 我能用西班牙语数到三。 有人想听我说话吗？”其余的人都面面相觑。 “不完全是，”赫伯说。

"Not me," said Lennie. "Me neither," said José. May didn't pay attention to us. "Uno, dos, tres," she said real loud. I leaned nearer to her. "Shh!" I said. Then everyone laughed and laughed. But not May. Pretty soon, the bell rang for school. Mr. Scary got our morning started. First, he took attendance of the children. Then we said, I pledge allegiance to the flag. Plus also, we listened to boring bulletins from the office. Finally, Mr. Scary walked to the chalkboard. And he printed a list of words. "Boys and girls," he said. "This morning, I have a fun assignment for you."

“不是我，”伦尼说。“我也是，”约瑟说。 梅没有注意到我们。 “不，不，不。”她大声说。 我向她靠得更近了。“嘘!”我说。 然后大家都笑了又笑。 但梅没有。很快，上课的铃声响了。 恐怖先生让我们的早晨开始了。 首先，他照顾孩子们。 然后我们说，我宣誓效忠国旗。 另外，我们还听了办公室里无聊的公告。 最后，吓人先生走到黑板前。 然后他打印了一张单词表。 “孩子们，”他说。 “今天早上，我给你布置了一个有趣的任务。”

He winked at us and pointed to the list. "I want you to read these words to yourselves," he said. "Then—without talking to your neighbor—choose any word from the list and draw a picture of it in your journal." May squealed very thrilled. "Oh, goody, goody!" she said. "I love this kind of assignment, Mr. Scary. I am perfect at not talking to my neighbor!" After that, she quick took a pencil out of her box. And she started to draw. I stared at the words. Then I tapped on my chin. And I scratched my head. 'Cause I didn't actually get this assignment, that's why. "Hmm," I said. "Hmm. Hmm. Hmm." I glanced my eyes at Herb and Lennie and José.

他朝我们眨了眨眼睛，指着那张单子。 耶稣说，我要你们念这些话。 “然后，不要和你的邻居商量，从列表中选择一个单词，并在你的日记中画出来。” 梅激动得尖叫起来。 “哦，太好了，太好了！” “我喜欢这样的任务，吓人先生。 我很擅长不和邻居说话！”然后，她迅速地从盒子里拿出一支铅笔。 然后她开始画画。我盯着那些字。 然后我敲了敲我的下巴。我挠了挠头。 因为我并没有接到这个任务，这就是原因。 “嗯，”我说。“嗯。嗯。嗯。” 我瞥了赫伯、伦尼和约瑟夫一眼。

All of them were drawing, too. I looked back at the board again. Then I stretched my neck as far as it could go. And I squinted my hardest. But those words had me stumped, I tell you! Finally, I reached out to Herb real secret. And I tapped on his back. "Psst. Herb," I whispered. "Quick question. Which word are you drawing?" May did a loud gasp. She jumped up from her seat and pointed at me. "Mr. Scary! Mr. Scary! Junie Jones is talking to her neighbor! See her? She's talking to Herbert. And that is against the rules!" I turned my head. "Blabber-lips!" I yelled. "Blabber-lips May."

他们也都在画画。 我又看了看黑板。 然后我把脖子伸得尽可能远。 我使劲眯着眼睛。 但是我告诉你，这些话把我难住了！最后，我找到了赫伯真正的秘密。 我拍了拍他的背。“嘘。 赫伯，”我低声说。“快的问题。 你在画哪个字？”梅大声喘了口气。 她从座位上跳起来，指着我。 “可怕的先生!可怕的先生!琼·琼斯正在和她的邻居说话！看见她了吗? 她在和赫伯特说话。这是违反规定的！”我转过头去。 “Blabber-lips !”我喊道。“Blabber-lips可能。”
