8. Showing-and-Telling

8 Showing-and-Telling Friday Dear first-grade journal, Today I brought my new glasses to school. They are hiding in my sweater pocket, 'Cause I don't want to put them on, that's why. My stomach is in a knotball. Also, there is tension in my head.

亲爱的一年级日记：今天我把新眼镜带到学校来了。 它们藏在我的毛衣口袋里，因为我不想穿，这就是原因。 我的胃在打结。 而且，我的头脑也很紧张。

We are having Show-and-Tell soon. I wish this day was over. From, Junie B., First Grader Mr. Scary clapped his hands. "Okay, boys and girls. Please put your journals away now. I'll give you more time later if you need it. But right now, we have to get started with Show-and-Tell. Who would like to go first this morning?" May sprang out of her chair. "I would! I would!" she called out. Then she quick grabbed a brown envelope out of her backpack. And she ran to the front of the room. "It's my report card from kindergarten, everyone!" she said real thrilled. "I brought my report card to share with you!"

我们马上要进行“展示-讲述”活动。 真希望今天就这样结束。来自一年级学生朱尼·B的恐怖先生拍了拍手。 “好了，孩子们。请把你的日记收起来。 如果你需要的话，我会给你更多的时间。 但现在，我们必须从展示和讲述开始。 今天早上谁想第一个去？”梅从椅子上跳了起来。 “我会!我愿意！”她喊道。 然后她迅速从背包里拿出一个棕色的信封。 她跑到房间前面。 “各位，这是我幼儿园的成绩单！”她激动地说。 “我带了我的成绩单来和你分享！”

May waved it all around in the air. "Look! Look! Can everyone see this? I got all E pluses! E is for Excellent! See? There's an E plus next to every single subject!" She held the report card in front of her. "Okay. Now I will read you each subject one by one," she said. After that, she took a deep breath. And she started to read. "Number one: I followed directions. "Number two: I used my time wisely. "Number three: I observed school rules. "Number four: I cleaned up my work area. "Number five: I–" Mr. Scary stood up. "Thank you, May," he said. "That is very interesting. But I'm afraid that we're going to have to move along now and–"

梅在空中挥舞着它。 “看!看！大家都能看到吗？ 我全得了E + ！E是优秀！看到了吗? 每个科目旁边都有一个E + !”她把成绩单放在面前。 “好吧。现在我将一个一个地读给你们听，”她说。 然后，她深吸了一口气。 然后她开始读。“第一：我听从指示。 “第二：我明智地利用了时间。 “第三，我遵守校规。 “第四：我清理了我的工作区域。 “第五，我——”吓人先生站了起来。 “谢谢你，梅，”他说。 “这很有趣。 不过恐怕我们现在得走了，而且——”

May raised her voice. "NUMBER FIVE: I WAS COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL. "NUMBER SIX: I USED MATERIALS WISELY! "NUMBER SEVEN: I–" Just then, Mr. Scary took May's arm. And he led her back to her seat. Lennie raised his hand to go next. He passed around his new styling gel. Plus also, he let us touch his hair. After that, Sheldon showed us how long he could stand on one foot. And José sang a song about frogs. And Shirley showed us her turkey sandwich. She showed us the bread and the mayonnaise and the tomato. Finally, Mr. Scary stood up again.

梅提高了嗓门。“第五：我很有礼貌，很尊重别人。 “第六：我明智地使用材料！”“第七：我——”就在这时，吓人先生抓住了梅的胳膊。 他领她回到座位上。 伦尼举手要下一个说。 他传阅他的新发胶。 而且，他还让我们摸他的头发。 在那之后，谢尔顿向我们展示了他单脚站立的能力。 约瑟唱了一首关于青蛙的歌。 雪莉给我们看了她的火鸡三明治。 她给我们看面包、蛋黄酱和西红柿。 最后，吓人先生又站了起来。

"All rightie, Shirley. Excellent sandwich," he said. "But I really think it should go back in its bag now." Shirley sat down. Mr. Scary looked around the room. "Okay. Who wants to go next?" he said. My stomach flipped and flopped. 'Cause a nervous idea popped into my head, that's why. I looked down at my glasses in my sweater pocket. Then I swallowed very hard. And I quick raised my hand in the air. "Me!" I blurted out. "I do!" Mr. Scary smiled. "Great, Junie B.," he said. "Did you bring something to share?" I quick pulled my hand down again. "No," I said. "I just changed my mind."

“好吧，雪莉。美味的三明治，”他说。 “但我真的认为现在应该把它放回袋子里。” 雪莉坐了下来。吓人先生环视了一下房间。 “好吧。谁想下一个？”他说。 我的胃怦怦直跳。 因为我脑子里突然闪过一个紧张的念头，这就是原因。 我低头看了看毛衣口袋里的眼镜。 然后我使劲吞咽。 我迅速举起了手。 “我!”我脱口而出。“我做的!”吓人先生笑了。 “太好了，朱妮·B，”他说。 “你带了什么东西来分享吗？”我赶紧把手放下来。 “不，”我说。“我只是改变了主意。”

My heart was thumping and pumping. I peeked at my glasses one more time. Then all of a sudden, my legs stood up. And they rushed me to the front of the room! My knees were wobbly and shaking. I bent over and did deep breaths. Mr. Scary came over to me. "Are you okay, Junie B.?" he asked. "Would you like to sit down and wait to do this another day?" "No," I said. "I want to get this over with." Then, fast as anything, I reached into my pocket. And I pulled out my new glasses. May started to laugh. It was loudish and meanish.

我的心怦怦直跳。 我又瞥了一眼我的眼镜。 突然间，我的腿站了起来。 他们把我冲到房间前面！我的膝盖颤抖着。 我弯下腰，做了几个深呼吸。 吓人先生向我走来。 “你还好吗，朱尼·b ?”他问。 “你愿意坐下来，改天再做这件事吗？”“不，”我说。 “我想快点结束这一切。” 然后，我飞快地把手伸进口袋。 我拿出我的新眼镜。 梅笑了起来。那声音又大又刻薄。
