6. The E Game

6 The E Game I sat in a chair next to Mrs. Weller's desk. She asked me lots of questions. First, she asked me how I liked my summer vacation. Then she asked me how I liked first grade. And how I liked Mr. Scary. That is called stall talk, I believe. Finally, Mrs. Weller stood up. "Have you noticed the eye charts I have hanging on my wall, Junie B.?" she asked. She pointed at them.

我坐在韦勒太太书桌旁边的椅子上。 她问了我很多问题。 首先，她问我是否喜欢我的暑假。 然后她问我一年级怎么样。 还有我多么喜欢恐怖先生。 我想那叫拖延谈话。 最后，韦勒太太站了起来。 “你注意到我挂在墙上的视力表了吗，朱尼？”她问。 她指着他们。

"Eye charts are posters that help us test our eyesight," she explained. "I have two different kinds. See? One has alphabet letters on it. And the one right next to it is filled with funny E's. That one is called an E chart." I looked at that funny thing. "Whoa," I said. "Those are the craziest E's I ever saw. They are backwards and forwards and upside down."

“视力表是帮助我们测试视力的海报，”她解释说。 “我有两种不同的。 看到了吗?一个上面有字母。 而它旁边的那个字母全是有趣的E。 这就是所谓的E图。” 我看着那个有趣的东西。 “哇，”我说。“这是我见过的最疯狂的E。 它们是前后颠倒的。”

"You're right," said Mrs. Weller. "The E's are all mixed up, aren't they? And today you and I are going to play a game with those mixed-up E's. It's called the E game." After that, Mrs. Weller got a little paper cup. And she showed me how to hold it over one of my eyes. "We're going to be testing each of your eyes separately," she said. "While one eye is hiding under the cup, the other eye will play the game. Okay?" I shrugged my shoulders. 'Cause what choice did I have? Mrs. Weller showed me where to stand to play the game. Then she went back to the E chart. "All right," she said. "Now each time I point to one of the E's, I want you to tell me the direction it's facing. Are you ready, Junie B.?"

“你说得对，”韦勒太太说。 “字母E都弄混了，是不是？” 今天你和我要玩一个游戏，用那些混淆的E。 这叫做电子游戏。”之后，韦勒太太拿了一个小纸杯。 她教我怎么把它捂在一只眼睛上。 “我们将分别对你的每只眼睛进行测试，”她说。 “当一只眼睛躲在杯子下面时，另一只眼睛会玩游戏。 没事吧?”我耸了耸肩。 因为我有什么选择？ 韦勒太太告诉我该站在哪里玩游戏。 然后她又回到了E型图表。 “好吧，”她说。“现在，每次我指着一个E，我要你告诉我它面向的方向。 你准备好了吗，琼·b ?”

I shrugged again. Then I hid one eye behind the cup. And Mrs. Weller pointed at the first E. I pointed my finger up. "That one is facing up at the ceiling," I told her. "Good," she said. "Excellent." I felt a little better inside. Mrs. Weller pointed to the next E. I turned my finger down at the floor. "That one is facing down," I said. Mrs. Weller smiled and nodded. I stood up taller. 'Cause this wasn't as hard as I thought.

我又耸了耸肩。然后我把一只眼睛藏在杯子后面。 韦勒太太指着第一个字母E。 我竖起手指。“那张是面向天花板的，”我告诉她。 “很好，”她说。“很好。” 我心里感觉好一点了。 韦勒太太指着下一个E。 我把手指按在地板上。 “那只脸朝下，”我说。 韦勒太太微笑着点了点头。 我站得更高了。因为这没有我想的那么难。

After that, the nurse kept on pointing at more E's. And I kept on telling her which way they were facing. "Right… left… down… left… up…" I stopped and grinned. "Hey, what do you know? I'm a breeze at this game. Right, Mrs. Weller? Right? Right?" I said. Mrs. Weller winked at me. "We're almost done," she said. "Only a few more E's to go." She pointed to a new row. There was a fuzzy smudgie next to her finger. "Whoops," I said. "What happened there? Did someone spill something on your chart?" Mrs. Weller did a little frown. She kept pointing at the smudgie. "Can you tell me anything about this mark at all, Junie B.?" she asked.

在那之后，护士继续指着更多的E。 我不停地告诉她他们面对的方向。 “右……左……下……左……上……”我停住了，咧嘴一笑。 “嘿，你知道什么？”我玩这个游戏不费吹灰之力。 对吧，韦勒太太？对吧? 对吗?”我说。韦勒太太对我眨了眨眼睛。 “我们快完成了，”她说。 “只剩下几个E了。” 她指着一排新排。她的手指旁边有个模糊的污点。 “哎呀，”我说。“发生了什么事？” 有人把什么东西洒到你的病历上了吗？”韦勒太太微微皱了皱眉。 她不停地指着那个脏东西。 “你能给我讲讲这个记号吗，朱尼·b ?”她问。

"Yes," I said. "It's a smearball." Mrs. Weller moved her finger over a little bit. "What about this mark here? Can you tell me anything about this one?" I stared and stared at that thing. "Hmm. That one's a toughie," I said. Finally, Mrs. Weller came over to me. "That's fine," she said. "You did just fine, Junie B." After that, we played the same game with my other eye. And guess what? I saw three more smudgies and a smeary. After I was done, I sat down in the chair again. Mrs. Weller said I need glasses. I do not like Mrs. Weller.

“是的，”我说。“这是一团浆糊。” 韦勒太太把手指移了一点。 “这里的这个记号呢？” 你能给我讲讲这个吗？”我盯着那东西看了又看。 “嗯。我说：“这是一个棘手的问题。” 最后，韦勒太太向我走来。 “那很好，”她说。“你做得很好，朱尼·b。” 之后，我们用我的另一只眼睛玩了同样的游戏。 你猜怎么着？我又看到了三个污点和一个污点。 做完之后，我又坐在椅子上。 韦勒太太说我需要眼镜。 我不喜欢韦勒太太。
