朱尼·琼斯系列 · 18 Junie B. First Grader (at Last!)
7 Good Guessing The nurse called Mother at her work. She tattletaled about the glasses. Then Mother tattletaled to Daddy. And those two would not let the matter drop. They talked about glasses all during dinner that entire night. I couldn't even digest my food that good. Because they kept talking about those stupid, dumb glasses. "Sooner or later, almost everyone ends up wearing glasses, Junie B.," said Daddy.
7好猜测护士打电话给正在上班的妈妈。 她说了关于眼镜的事。 然后妈妈向爸爸告发了。 那两个人不肯放过这件事。 他们整个晚上吃饭的时候都在谈论眼镜。 我甚至不能消化这么好的食物。 因为他们一直在说那副愚蠢的眼镜。 “迟早,几乎每个人都会戴上眼镜的,朱妮B,”爸爸说。
"Really. They do." I put my chin in my hands real glum. "Really. They don't," I grumped. "Daddy's telling you the truth, Junie B.," said Mother. "And besides, you're going to look absolutely adorable in glasses." "No, I am absolutely not," I grumped again. "Sure you are," said Daddy. "And just think how great it will be to see the words on the board." I covered my ears. "Not great, not great, not great," I said. Mother took my hands away. "Listen to me, honey. Please," she said. "Glasses are like magic windows for the eyes. When you put them on… poof!… the whole world becomes crystal clear." I did a huffy breath.
“真的。他们做的东西。”我用手捂着下巴,闷闷不乐。 “真的。他们没有,”我抱怨道。 “爸爸说的是实话,朱尼,”妈妈说。 “而且,你戴上眼镜一定很可爱。” “不,我绝对不是。”我又发牢骚了。 “你当然是,”爸爸说。 “想想看,要是能在黑板上看到这些字该有多好。” 我捂住耳朵。“不太好,不太好,不太好,”我说。 妈妈把我的手拿开。 “听我说,亲爱的。求你了,”她说。 “眼镜就像眼睛的神奇窗户。 当你穿上它们的时候……噗!整个世界变得晶莹剔透。” 我喘了口气。
"Poof, yourself," I grumped. After that, Mother picked me up. And she carried me to my room. 'Cause that was one grump too many. The next morning, Daddy took me to the eye doctor. The eye doctor did lots more eye tests with me. They were sort of fun. Only I didn't tell Daddy. Also, the doctor put drops in my eyes. Drops make your eyeballs get biggish and darkish. Eyeballs look very attractive that way. After the eye doctor, I went home till my drops wore off. Then Daddy drove me to school. And guess what? All of the children stared at me when I
“呸,你自己。” 之后,妈妈来接我。 她把我抱回我的房间。 因为你脾气太大了。 第二天早上,爸爸带我去看眼科医生。 眼科医生给我做了很多眼科检查。 它们很有趣。只是我没告诉爸爸。 还有,医生在我的眼睛里滴了眼药水。 眼药水会让你的眼球变大变黑。 这样的眼球看起来非常吸引人。 看完眼科医生后,我回家直到眼药水消失。 然后爸爸开车送我去学校。 你猜怎么着?所有的孩子都盯着我看
came in the room. 'Cause I was a late kid, that's why. I walked to my desk kind of shy. Herb's face smiled when he saw me. "Junie B. Jones! Where were you?" he said. "I saved your seat on the bus. But you never came." "We were afraid you might be sick," said José. "Yeah," said Lennie. "You're not, are you?" "I certainly hope she's not sick," said May. "You shouldn't come to school sick, Junie Jones. Coming to school sick is how germs get started." I sucked in my cheeks at that girl. "I'm not sick, May. I'm just late, and that's all." May made a grouchy face.
走进房间。因为我是个迟到的孩子,这就是原因。 我有点害羞地走向我的办公桌。 赫伯看到我时脸上露出了笑容。 “琼·b·琼斯!你上哪儿去了?”他说。 “我在公共汽车上给你占了座位。 但你一直没来。”“我们担心你可能病了,”约瑟说。 “是的,”伦尼说。“你不会是吧?”“我当然希望她没有生病,”梅说。 “你不应该生病来学校,琼·琼斯。 带病上学是细菌的起源。” 我对着那个女孩吸吮着脸颊。 “我没病,梅。我只是迟到了,仅此而已。” 梅愁眉苦脸。
"Well, being late isn't good, either," she said. "Being late gets you a black mark on your permanent record." I covered up my ears at her. "Blah, blah, blah, May," I said. Herb and Lennie and José laughed out loud. Those guys are starting to enjoy me, I think. Pretty soon, I took out my workbook. And I tried to do my math. Only too bad for me. 'Cause I kept on worrying about my new glasses. What if I look dumb and silly in those things? I thought. What if Room One laughs their head off at me? What if I look like a goonie bird and no one wants to be my friend? The worrying would not go out of my
“嗯,迟到也不好,”她说。 “迟到会在你的永久记录上留下污点。” 我捂住耳朵看着她。 “废话,废话,废话,梅,”我说。 赫伯、伦尼和约瑟大声笑了起来。 我想那些家伙开始喜欢我了。 很快,我拿出了我的练习本。 我试着计算了一下。 对我来说太糟糕了。因为我一直担心我的新眼镜。 如果我穿那件衣服看起来又蠢又傻怎么办? 我想。万一一号房间的人嘲笑我怎么办? 如果我看起来像只傻鸟,没人想和我做朋友怎么办? 我的忧虑挥之不去
head. Maybe I needed to talk to someone about this, possibly. Finally, I reached out and I tapped on Herb. "Psst. Herbert," I whispered real soft. "I have something I need to tell you. Only I am really afraid to say it. 'Cause what if you laugh at me? Only you probably won't. But I still don't think I should take the chance. And so please do not ask me more about this. And I mean it." After that, I waited and waited. But Herb did not ask me. I tapped on him again. "Okay. Fine. I'll give you a hint," I said. "But first you're going to have to turn around and sneak a peek at me." Herb turned around and sneaked a peek.
头。也许我需要找个人谈谈这件事。 最后,我找到了赫伯。 “嘘。赫伯特,”我低声说。 “我有事要告诉你。 只是我真的不敢说出来。 因为如果你嘲笑我怎么办? 只是你可能不会。但我还是觉得不该冒这个险。 所以请不要再问我这个问题了。 我是认真的。”从那以后,我就一直等啊等。 但赫伯没有问我。我又敲了敲他。 “好吧。很好。我给你个提示,”我说。 “但首先你得转过身来偷看我一眼。” 赫伯转过身,偷偷看了一眼。
