3. Ow!

3 Owl I walked home from my bus stop very slow. Walking is good for thinking, I think. Talking is good for thinking, too. "I just wish I wasn't the first one, that's all," I said out loud to myself. "I wish the other children in Room One were losing their teeth, too. Then all of us would look toothless together. And no one would throw fruit." I did a big breath at me.

我从公共汽车站慢慢地走回家。 我认为散步有助于思考。 说话对思考也有好处。 “我只是希望我不是第一个，仅此而已，”我大声对自己说。 “我真希望一号房间的其他孩子也在掉牙。 那我们一起看起来就没牙了。 没有人会扔水果。” 我对自己深深地吸了一口气。

"Yeah, only that is the dumbest thing I ever heard of," I said. "'Cause you can't make other children have loose teeth, Junie B." I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, only I already know that, Junie B.," I said. "But I really don't want to be first. And so why can't my tooth just stay in my mouth a little longer? That's what I would like to know." I crossed my arms at myself. "'Cause you keep wiggling it, that's why," I said. "Maybe if you didn't wiggle it, it would get tight again. Did you ever think of that? Huh? Did you?" I walked and walked some more. Then, all of a sudden, I did a gasp. 'Cause I did think of that! Ha! I ran to my house speedy quick. My grampa Frank Miller was babysitting

“是啊，不过这是我听过的最愚蠢的事情。”我说。 “因为你不能让别的孩子牙齿松动，朱尼·b。” 我翻了个白眼。“是啊，不过我已经知道了，朱妮B。”我说。 “但我真的不想当第一名。 那么为什么我的牙齿不能在我嘴里多呆一会儿呢？ 这就是我想知道的。” 我对着自己交叉双臂。 “因为你一直在扭动它，这就是原因。”我说。 “也许如果你不扭动它，它会再次紧绷。 你想过吗？ 嗯?你呢?”我走了又走。 然后，突然间，我倒吸了一口气。 因为我确实想到了！哈!我飞快地跑回了家。 我爷爷弗兰克·米勒照看孩子

my fussy brother named Ollie. "Grampa Miller! I know what to do about my tooth! I know what to do about my tooth!" I hollered real happy. Grampa Miller was bouncing Ollie on his lap. Ollie was wearing his drool bib. Also, he was slobbering and chewing on his arm. Ollie will not be popular in school, probably. Mother says he is drooly and fussy because he will be getting teeth soon. She is kidding herself, I think. Just then, Ollie started to cry. Grampa Miller looked weary of that boy. I took Ollie away from him. "Don't worry, Grampa. I know how to calm this baby down," I said.

我那挑剔的弟弟叫奥利。 ”米勒的爷爷!我知道该怎么处理我的牙齿！我知道怎么处理我的牙齿了！”我高兴地叫了起来。 米勒爷爷把奥利放在腿上颠来颠去。 奥利戴着他的流口水围嘴。 而且，他还在流口水，咬着自己的胳膊。 奥利在学校可能不受欢迎。 妈妈说他又流口水又大惊小怪，因为他很快就要长牙了。 我想她是在开玩笑。 就在这时，奥利哭了起来。 米勒爷爷似乎对那个男孩感到厌倦了。 我把奥利从他身边带走了。 “别担心，爷爷。我知道怎么让这孩子安静下来，”我说。

After that, I patted Ollie's back very nice. Then I hummed real soft in his ear. And I put him in the hall closet. Grampa quick got him out of there. He put Ollie in his playpen. And he gave him animal crackers. Animal crackers are crackers that make babies stop crying. Also, I enjoy an occasional cracker myself. After Ollie stopped fussing, Grampa Miller came back in the kitchen. And he put me on his lap. "Okay, little girl. I'm ready to listen to your news now," he said. "What were you saying about your tooth? Did it get any looser at school today?" I clapped my hands together. "That's what I was going to tell you about, Grampa!" I said. "'Cause at school I found

在那之后，我轻轻地拍了拍奥利的背。 然后我在他耳边轻轻地哼了一曲。 我把他放在走廊壁橱里了。 爷爷很快把他救了出来。 他把奥利放在他的围栏里。 他给了他动物饼干。 动物饼干是让婴儿停止哭泣的饼干。 而且，我自己也喜欢偶尔吃点饼干。 奥利不再大惊小怪后，米勒爷爷回到了厨房。 他把我放在他腿上。“好吧，小姑娘。 我现在准备好听你的新闻了，”他说。 “你刚才说你的牙齿是怎么回事？” 今天在学校里气氛放松了吗？”我拍了拍手。 “这正是我要告诉你的，爷爷！”我说。 “因为在学校我发现

out that I am the first person in Room One to lose a top front tooth. And so at first I felt proud about that news. Only then I got nervous. On account of who wants to look like toothless Uncle Lou, that's why. And so then I had a long talk with myself. And hurray, hurray! I decided not to lose my tooth after all!" My grampa raised his eyebrows at me. "Really?" he said. "You're not going to lose your tooth, huh? Do you really think you can do that, honey?" "Yes!" I said. "I know I can do it, Grampa. 'Cause all I have to do is not wiggle it anymore. And then it will get real tight in my mouth again! I am sure of it! I'm positive." I reached in my mouth and touched my tooth very light with my finger. "Yup!" I said. "I can feel it! It's tighter already!"

我是一号房间第一个掉上门牙的人。 所以一开始我为这个消息感到骄傲。 直到那时我才紧张起来。因为谁想看起来像没牙的卢叔叔，这就是原因。 然后我和自己进行了一次长谈。 万岁，万岁！我决定不掉这颗牙了！”我爷爷对我扬起眉毛。 “真的吗？”他说。“你不会掉牙吧？” 亲爱的，你真的认为你能做到吗？”“是的!”我说。 “我知道我能做到，爷爷。 因为我要做的就是不再扭动它。 然后它又会在我嘴里变得很紧！我敢肯定！我积极的。” 我把手伸进嘴里，用手指轻轻地摸了摸我的牙齿。 “是的!”我说。“我能感觉到！”已经更紧了！”

I opened my mouth and pointed. "See it, Grampa? See how tight it's getting?" Grampa Miller squinted his eyes. "Gee, honey, I don't know," he said. "It still looks pretty loose to me." Then—without even asking—he reached in my mouth. And he started to wiggle it. "No!" I yelled. "No! No! No!" I snapped my mouth shut. "OW!" said my grampa. He quick pulled out his finger. "OW!" I said right back. 'Cause I felt a pinch, that's why! I poked all around with my tongue. Something did not feel right in there. My heart started to pound very fast. I held my breath. Then I opened my mouth kind of sickish.

我张开嘴指了指。 “看到了吗，爷爷？”看到它越来越紧了吗？”米勒爷爷眯起眼睛。 “哎呀，亲爱的，我不知道，”他说。 “在我看来，它还是很松散。” 然后，他甚至不问我，就把手伸进了我的嘴里。 他开始摇晃它。 “不!”我喊道。“不!不!不!”我猛地闭上了嘴。 “噢！”爷爷说。他迅速拔出手指。 “噢!”我说马上回来。因为我觉得很难受，这就是原因！我用舌头到处戳。 我觉得有点不对劲。 我的心跳得很快。 我屏住了呼吸。然后我张开嘴，有点恶心。
