4. Clucks

4 clerks We drew and drew in our journals. Mr. Scary waited until all of us were done. Then he walked around the room. And he looked at everyone's pictures. He gave out shiny gold stars. First, he gave stars to Camille and Chenille. "What great-looking dogs you drew, girls," he said. "Look at those floppy ears." Lucille raised her hand.

我们在日记本上画了又画。 吓人先生一直等到我们都做完了。 然后他在房间里走来走去。 他看了每个人的照片。 他发出闪亮的金星。 首先，他给卡米尔和雪尼尔打了星星。 “姑娘们，你们画的狗真好看，”他说。 “看那些耷拉着的耳朵。” 露西尔举起了手。

"Look at mine, Teacher!" she said. "I drew a cat with pointy ears. See? My rich nanna has an expensive cat just like this. Its fur is a foot thick, almost." Mr. Scary looked strange at her. "Really, Lucille? A whole foot of fur?" he said. "My, my." He gave her a gold star and moved on. He went to a boy named Roger. Roger was in my same class last year. "Excellent job, Roger," Mr. Scary said. "You drew a man wearing a coat. The words man and coat were both on the board, weren't they?" I did a little frown. 'Cause none of these words were actually sounding familiar. After that, Mr. Scary walked to Sheldon and Shirley.

“老师，看看我的！”她说。 “我画了一只尖耳朵的猫。 看到了吗?我有钱的奶奶有一只很贵的猫，就像这样。 它的毛差不多有一英尺厚。” 吓人先生奇怪地看着她。 “真的,露西尔?整整一英尺的毛皮？”他说。 “我,我。”他给了她一颗金星，然后继续生活。 他去找了一个叫罗杰的男孩。 罗杰去年和我同班。 “干得好，罗杰，”吓人先生说。 “你画了一个穿大衣的人。 木板上都写着‘人’和‘外套’两个字，不是吗？”我微微皱了皱眉。 因为这些词听起来都不熟悉。 之后，恐怖先生走向谢尔顿和雪莉。

"Cool bat and ball, Sheldon," he said. "And, Shirley! You drew a bat and ball, too, didn't you?" I put my head on my desk. Something was very wrong here. Finally, Mr. Scary got to May. "Oh, May," he said. "What a special clock you drew. The big hand has five fingers. That's very unusual." "Yes," said May. "I created it myself. Plus, clock was the hardest word up there, wasn't it, Mr. Scary? I am the only one who even knew the word clock, I bet." Just then, my stomach felt sickish inside. I quick closed my journal and stuffed it in my desk. Mr. Scary saw me. "Junie B.?" he said. "Don't you want to show me your drawing? Don't you want a

“棒和球真酷，谢尔顿，”他说。 ”,雪莉!你也画了一个球棒，是吗？”我把头靠在桌子上。 这里有些地方不对劲。 最后，恐怖先生找到了梅。 “哦，梅，”他说。“你画的钟真特别。 大手有五个手指。 这很不寻常。”“是的，”梅说。 “这是我自己创作的。而且，钟是上面最难的词，对吧，吓人先生？ 我敢打赌，我是唯一知道时钟这个词的人。” 就在那时，我的胃里感到恶心。 我迅速合上日记，把它塞进书桌里。 恐怖先生看见我了。“朱妮·b ?” “你不想让我看看你的画吗？” 你不想要

gold star for today?" I shook my head real fast. "Nope. No, thank you. No, I don't," I said. "Not today. I really, really don't care for a gold star today. But thank you for asking." Mr. Scary kept on standing there. "The end," I said. He did not budge. "Please move along," I said. Finally, Mr. Scary bent down next to me. He lowered his voice so no one could hear. "I'm sorry, Junie B. But I'd really like to see what you drew," he said. "I need to make sure that you understood the assignment." Then–before I knew it–he took my journal out of my desk. And he gave it to me to hold.

今天的金星？”我很快地摇了摇头。 “不。不，谢谢。“不，我不知道，”我说。 “不是今天。我今天真的，真的不想要一个金星。 但是谢谢你的关心。” 吓人先生继续站在那里。 “结束了，”我说。他没有让步。 “请往前走。”我说。 最后，恐怖先生在我身边弯下了腰。 他把声音放低，免得别人听见。 “对不起，朱尼·b，但我真的很想看看你画的东西，”他说。 “我需要确保你理解了任务。” 然后，我还没反应过来，他就把我的日记从我桌上拿走了。 他把它给了我，让我拿着。

After that, he walked me into the hall. And he let me show him my drawing in private. And guess what? He liked it, I think! "Oh, wow. Look at that, Junie B.," he said. "You drew a wonderful picture of a a He kept on looking. "A a "A screaming chicken," I said finally. Mr. Scary did a strange face. "Yes. Right," he said. "It's a "Screaming chicken," I said again. I pointed at the chicken's mouth. "See how it's screaming, 'CLUCK! CLUCK! CLUCK!'? I used capital letters for the clucks. Capitals are for screaming. Correct?" "Well, yes. I suppose so," said Mr. Scary.

然后，他带我走进大厅。 他让我私下给他看我的画。 你猜怎么着？我想他喜欢它！“哦,哇。 看那个，朱妮·B，”他说。 “你画了一幅很棒的画。”他继续看。 “一只尖叫的鸡，”我最后说。 吓人先生的表情很奇怪。 “是的。对，”他说。这是一只“尖叫的鸡”，我又说了一遍。 我指着鸡嘴。 “看它是怎么叫的，‘咯咯！咯咯的叫声!咯咯的叫声!”? 我用大写字母表示“咯咯”。 大写字母是用来尖叫的。 正确吗?”“嗯,是的。我想是的。”吓人先生说。
