2. Weekend Fun

May got back from the office. She stood at the door and waved again. "I did it, everyone! I got the attendance sheet to the office. Just like I promised." She looked at Mr. Scary. "It went very well, too," she said. "There were no problems I couldn't handle." Mr. Scary raised his eyes from what he was doing. "Okay… well, thank you, May. You can take your seat now, please," he said. But May kept right on talking. "At first, I didn't know where to put it. But

梅从办公室回来了。 她站在门口，又挥了挥手。 “我做到了，各位！”我把考勤表拿到办公室了。 就像我承诺的那样。”她看着吓人先生。 “也很顺利，”她说。 “没有我处理不了的问题。” 吓人先生从他正在做的事情中抬起了眼睛。 “好吧……谢谢你，梅。” 你现在可以坐下了，”他说。 但梅继续说下去。 “起初，我不知道把它放在哪里。 但

then the secretary told me to put it in the wire basket. So I followed her directions perfectly," she said. Mr. Scary pointed at her seat. "Excellent," he said. "Now please sit down, okay?" May didn't pay attention again. "When I was in kindergarten, I got an E+ for following directions," she said. "E+ is better than excellent. The plus sign means extra, extra excellent." Just then, Mr. Scary stood up. And he took May's hand. And he walked her to her seat. As soon as he went back to his desk, I strained my brain for something nice to say to her. 'Cause I was still happy at May for leaving her homework out. Finally, I tapped on her arm. And I smiled. "Welcome back, madam," I said real friendly.

然后秘书让我把它放在铁丝筐里。 所以我完全按照她的指示去做。” 吓人先生指着她的座位。 “太好了，”他说。“现在请坐下，好吗？”梅再没注意。 “当我在幼儿园的时候，我在听从指示方面得了E+，”她说。 “E+比优秀还要好。 加号的意思是非常非常优秀。” 就在这时，吓人先生站了起来。 他握着梅的手。他陪她走到她的座位。 他一回到办公桌前，我就绞尽脑汁想对她说些好听的话。 因为我还在为梅落下作业而开心。 最后，我敲了敲她的胳膊。 我笑了。“欢迎回来，夫人。”我非常友好地说。

May did a frown at me. "What kind of crack was that?" she said. I just looked at her. Friendly does not come natural to us, I think. Pretty soon, Mr. Scary stood up at his desk. Then he walked to the board and he wrote these words: This weekend, one thing I did for fun was … "Okay, everyone," he said. "For your homework over the weekend, I asked you to complete that sentence, remember?" Room One nodded. "Good," said Mr. Scary. "Because this morning, I'd like for each of you to read your homework paper to the class. That way we'll find out what our classmates do for enjoyment. Doesn't that sound fun?"

梅朝我皱了皱眉。“那是什么声音？”她说。 我只是看着她。我认为，对我们来说，友好是不自然的。 很快，“吓人先生”站了起来。 然后他走到黑板前，写下了这些话：这个周末，我做的一件有趣的事情是……“好了，大家，”他说。 “周末的作业，我让你完成那个句子，记得吗？”一号房间点点头。 “很好，”吓人先生说。“因为今天早上，我想让你们每个人向全班读你们的家庭作业。 这样我们就会知道我们的同学喜欢做什么。 听起来是不是很有趣？”

Room One nodded again. Even if it doesn't sound fun, you still have to nod. Mr. Scary smiled. "We'll go up and down each row until everyone gets a turn." He pointed at Lucille. "Lucille, why don't you start us off?" he said. Lucille sits in the first row by the window.

一号房间又点了点头。即使听起来不好玩，你还是要点头。 吓人先生笑了。“我们会在每一排上下走动，直到每个人都有机会。” 他指着露西尔。“露西尔，你为什么不开始呢？”他说。 露西尔坐在第一排靠窗的位置。

Last year, me and her were bestest friends. But this year, we're just regular. Lucille stood up and fluffed herself. Then she picked up her paper. And she started to read. "This weekend, one thing I did for fun was … my richie nanna took me to her expensive beauty salon. And both of us got manicures and pedicures." Mr. Scary looked surprised at that news. "You got a pedicure, Lucille? Wow! That's pretty fancy stuff, isn't it?" he said. Lucille shrugged. "For some people, maybe," she said. She looked down and kept on reading. "Also, we each got a papaya-fruit facial. And Nanna got an herbal body wrap. Plus I got a seaweed scalp massage." Mr. Scary stood there for a second. Then

去年，我和她是最好的朋友。 但今年，我们只是普通的。 露西尔站起来，抖了抖自己。 然后她拿起她的报纸。 然后她开始读。“这个周末，我做了一件有趣的事……我富有的奶奶带我去了她昂贵的美容院。 我们俩都做了美甲和足疗。” 听到这个消息，吓人先生显得很惊讶。 “你修脚了吗，露西尔？” 哇!这东西很花哨，不是吗？”他说。 露西尔耸耸肩。“对某些人来说，也许是这样，”她说。 她低下头，继续看书。 “此外，我们每个人都做了木瓜水果面膜。 外婆裹上了草药裹身衣。 而且我还享受了海藻头皮按摩。” 吓人先生在那儿站了一会儿。 然后

he nodded very slow. "All rightie, then," he said. After that, he pointed to Camille. Camille is the sister of Chenille. Those two are twin sets. Camille stood up. "This weekend, Chenille and I made a puppet theater out of a cardboard box. And we put on a show for our little brother, Neil." Mr. Scary beamed at that news. "Oh, that's great, girls," he said. "I bet doing a puppet show for your brother was a lot of fun, wasn't it?" "Not really," said Camille. "Neil kept on grabbing the puppets off our hands. And he made them kill each other." "We don't like Neil," said Chenille. "Neil is a boob," said Camille. Mr. Scary just stood there some more.

他慢慢地点了点头。“那好吧，”他说。 然后，他指着卡米尔。 卡米尔是雪尼尔的妹妹。 那两个是一对双胞胎。卡米尔站了起来。 这个周末，雪尼尔和我用一个纸板箱做了一个木偶剧场。 我们为我们的弟弟尼尔表演了一场表演。” 吓人先生听到这个消息喜笑颜开。 “哦，太好了，姑娘们，”他说。 “我敢说，给你哥哥表演木偶戏一定很有趣，对吧？”“不完全是，”卡米尔说。 “尼尔不停地从我们手中抢走木偶。 又叫他们彼此相杀。” “我们不喜欢尼尔，”雪尼尔说。 “尼尔是个笨蛋，”卡米尔说。 吓人先生又站了一会儿。
