5. The Note

5 The Note That night at dinner, I couldn't swallow my meatball. 'Cause how can you swallow a meatball when there's a note from your teacher in your pocket? Mother kept on looking at my plate. "What's the trouble with you tonight, honey?" she asked. "You love spaghetti and meatballs." I picked up my fork real slow. Then I put it right down again. "Is something wrong, Junie B.?" asked Daddy. "Are you sick?" I got down from my chair. And I stood by

那天晚上吃晚饭时，我咽不下我的肉丸子。 因为口袋里有老师的纸条，你怎么能吞下肉丸子呢？ 妈妈一直在看我的盘子。 “亲爱的，你今晚怎么了？”她问。 “你喜欢意大利面和肉丸子。” 我慢慢地拿起叉子。 然后我又把它放下了。 “出什么事了吗，朱妮？”爸爸问。 “你病了吗？”我从椅子上站了起来。 我站在一旁

the table. Then I hanged my head. And very slow, I took the note out of my pocket. "I did something bad at school today," I said real glum. "And so there's something I have to give you." I rocked back and forth on my feet for a minute. Then I quick threw the note on the table. And I ran to my room as fast as I could! I shut the door real hard. Then I ran around and around in circles. 'Cause I didn't actually have a plan, that's why. My stuffed animals looked shocked at me. What's wrong, Junie B.? said my Raggedy Ann named Ruth. Are you in trouble? Of course she's in trouble, said my Raggedy Andy named Larry. Can't you tell? I

桌子上。然后我垂下了头。 我慢慢地从口袋里掏出纸条。 “我今天在学校做了件坏事，”我闷闷不乐地说。 “所以我有东西要给你。” 我用脚前后摇晃了一会儿。 然后我迅速把纸条扔到桌子上。 我以最快的速度跑回我的房间！我使劲把门关上。 然后我绕着圈子跑啊跑。 因为我根本没有计划，这就是原因。 我的毛绒玩具看起来很震惊。 怎么了，朱妮·b ？我那名叫露丝的布娃娃说。 你遇到麻烦了吗？“她当然有麻烦了，”我的破烂娃娃拉里说。 你看不出来吗？我

bet Mother and Daddy are going to be running in here any second. My elephant named Philip Johnny Bob did fast thinking. Hide, Junie B.! he told me. Hide in the closet until they calm theirselves down. I nodded at that good idea. Elephants are the smartest stuffed animals there is. After that, I quick grabbed him by his foot. And we ran into my closet. We climbed over shoes and games. Then we scrunched way down in the corner. Pretty soon, we heard Mother and Daddy come in my room. Our hearts started to pound and pound. Then we tried to scrunch even smaller. Only too bad for us. Because Philip Johnny Bob accidentally knocked over a shoe box.

我打赌妈妈和爸爸随时都会跑进来。 我的大象名叫菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃，思维敏捷。 躲起来，朱妮·b ！他告诉我的。 躲在壁橱里，直到他们冷静下来。 我对那个好主意点点头。 大象是最聪明的毛绒动物。 之后，我迅速抓住他的脚。 我们跑进了我的衣橱。 我们爬过鞋子和游戏。 然后我们挤在角落里。 很快，我们听到爸爸妈妈走进我的房间。 我们的心开始砰砰直跳。 然后我们试着把它压得更小。 对我们来说太糟糕了。因为菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃不小心打翻了一个鞋盒。

And it made a loud crashing sound. Mother and Daddy opened the closet door. I waved at them real pleasant.

它发出一声巨响。 妈妈和爸爸打开了壁橱的门。 我非常愉快地向他们挥手。

"Hello. How are you today?" I said. Philip Johnny Bob held out his arms. I love you people, he said. Daddy rolled his eyes. Then he came into the closet. And he carried us out. He sat me and Philip Johnny Bob on my bed. Mother sat next to us. "You didn't have to hide from us, Junie B.," she said. "Daddy and I didn't come to yell at you. We just came in to talk about this." I flopped back on my bed. And I put my pillow on my head. "Yeah, only I already did talk about this, Mother," I said real muffly. "Me and Mr. Scary talked about this for a jillion million hours at recess." Mother took the pillow off my head.

“你好。你今天好吗？”我说。 菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃伸出双臂。 我爱你们，他说。 爸爸翻了个白眼。然后他走进了壁橱。 他带我们出去了。他让我和菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃坐在我床上。 妈妈坐在我们旁边。“你没必要瞒着我们，朱妮·B，”她说。 “爸爸和我不是来对你大喊大叫的。 我们就是来讨论这个问题的。” 我扑通一声倒在床上。我把枕头放在头上。 “是啊，不过我已经说过了，妈妈。”我低声说。 “我和吓人先生在课间休息时讨论了上亿个小时。” 妈妈把枕头从我头上拿下来。

"Yes, I'm sure you did," she said. "But Daddy and I need to talk to you, too, Junie B. Copying someone else's work is a very serious matter, honey." Daddy nodded. "Cheating is wrong," he said. "We want to make sure you understand that." I did a big breath at that man. "But I already do understand that, Daddy," I said. "I don't even like cheaters myself." I thought for a minute. Then, all of a sudden, I remembered about the Old Maid. I sat right up. "And anyway, if you think cheating is so wrong, then how come you do it yourself?" I said. "Huh, Daddy? Huh?" Daddy looked shocked at me. "What?" he said. "What are you talking about? I don't cheat." "Yes, you do too cheat," I said back. "On

“是的，我相信你说过，”她说。 “但是我和爸爸也要和你谈谈，朱妮B。 抄袭别人的作品是很严重的事，亲爱的。” 爸爸点了点头。“作弊是不对的，”他说。 “我们想确保你理解这一点。” 我对那个人深深地吸了一口气。 “但是我已经明白了，爸爸。”我说。 “我自己都不喜欢骗子。” 我想了一会儿。然后，突然间，我想起了老处女号。 我立刻坐了起来。“不管怎么说，如果你认为作弊是错误的，那你自己为什么要作弊呢？”我说。 “嗯,爸爸?嗯?”爸爸震惊地看着我。 “什么？”他说。“你在说什么？” 我不作弊。”“是的，你太欺骗了。”我回答。 ”
