8. A+ Us

8 A+ Us A+! We got an A+ on our poem! Mr. Scary came right back to our desks. And he took his red pencil. And he wrote an A+ right on top of our paper! "What a wonderful poem you guys wrote," he said. "I loved that." We jumped and clapped for ourselves. It was the funnest morning I ever saw. And that is not all! 'Cause lunch and recess kept on being fun, too. On account of when four friends are in happy moods together, life

8 A+ Us A+！我们的诗得了A+ ！恐怖先生又回到了我们的办公桌前。 他拿起他的红铅笔。 他还在我们的试卷上写了个A+ ！“你们写了一首多么美妙的诗啊，”他说。 “我喜欢这样。”我们跳起来为自己鼓掌。 这是我见过的最有趣的早晨。 这还不是全部！因为午餐和课间休息也很有趣。 由于当四个朋友在一起心情愉快，生活

is a joy, I tell you! After recess, I hurried back to Room One. 'Cause I couldn't wait to see what happy assignment we would do next. I skipped in the room and looked at the board. And then, boom! I came to a screechy stop. On account of the board had two terrible words on it! It said, SPELLING TEST! And I forgot all about that stupid thing! That dumb test was supposed to be last Friday. And then it got put off till today. And so how was I even supposed to remember that last night? 'Cause I was worried about my note, of course. My legs felt weakish and limpish. Very slow, I dragged my feet back to my

是一种快乐，我告诉你！课间休息后，我匆匆回到一号教室。 因为我迫不及待地想看看我们接下来要做什么快乐的任务。 我跳着走进房间，看了看黑板。 然后，砰！我急刹车了。 因为黑板上有两个可怕的字！上面写着：拼写测试！我把那件蠢事全忘了！那个愚蠢的测试应该在上周五进行。 然后就推迟到今天了。 那我怎么可能记得昨晚的事？ 当然是因为我担心我的纸条。 我的腿感到软弱无力。 慢慢地，我拖着脚回到我的

seat. The desks were back to normal again. Herb was already sitting down. He turned around and looked at me. "What's wrong, Junie B.?" he asked. "Don't you feel good?" I laid my head on my desk. "I forgot to study my spelling words last night," I said. "And now I'm going to be in trouble with Mother and Daddy again." I did a whine. "This is the whole dumb problem with school," I said. "One minute you're all joyful and happy. And the next minute, the joy gets flushed right out of you." Herb tried to make me feel better. "Don't worry. Most of the words are easy this week," he said. He paused for a second. "Sort of."

座位。桌子又恢复正常了。 赫伯已经坐了下来。 他转过身来看着我。 “怎么了，朱妮·b ?”他问。 “你不觉得好吗？”我把头靠在书桌上。 “我昨晚忘了复习拼写单词，”我说。 “现在我又要给爸爸妈妈找麻烦了。” 我呜咽了一声。“这就是学校的愚蠢问题，”我说。 “前一分钟你还很开心。 下一分钟，快乐就会从你身上消失。” 赫伯想让我感觉好点。 “别担心。本周的大多数词汇都很简单。” 他停顿了一下。“的”。

I did another whine. 'Cause sort of does not mean "really." In the front of the room, Mr. Scary was passing out paper. "Is everybody ready for our spelling test this week?" he said. He winked. "Since you had four extra nights to study, I'm sure everyone will get a perfect grade, right?" My stomach turned into a knotball at that comment. Pretty soon, the test began. Mr. Scary pronounced the first spelling word. And he used it in a sentence. "Fox," he said. "The fox is running through the woods. Fox." I perked up a little bit. 'Cause I know how to spell fox, of course. I printed it very neat on my paper.

我又呜咽了一声。因为有点不代表“真的” 在教室前面，吓人先生正在发纸。 “大家都准备好这周的拼写考试了吗？”他说。 他眨了眨眼。“既然你们有额外的四个晚上学习，我相信每个人都会取得完美的成绩，对吗？”听到那句话，我的胃一阵绞痛。 很快，考验开始了。 吓人先生读出了第一个单词的拼写。 他把它用在了一个句子里。 “小狐，”他说。“狐狸正在穿过树林。 狐狸。”我振作了一点。 因为我当然知道怎么拼fox。 我在纸上印得很整齐。

fox "The next word is box," said Mr. Scary. "I keep all my toys in a box. Box." I sat up even perkier. Because ha! Box is just as easy as fox! box Mr. Scary smiled. "The next word is would," he said. "I would like all of you to do well on this test. Would." Just then, I stopped perking. 'Cause sometimes I get mixed up on that one. I wrote down some letters. wood Then I crossed them out. On account of that was the wrong kind of wood, I believe. I tried again.

“下一个单词是盒子，”吓人先生说。 “我把所有的玩具都放在一个盒子里。 盒子里。”我坐起来更神气了。 因为哈!盒子就像狐狸一样简单！吓人先生笑了。 “下一个词是would，”他说。 “我希望你们所有人都能在这次考试中取得好成绩。 会。”就在那时，我停止了休息。 因为有时候我也会搞混。 我写下了一些字母。 然后我把它们划掉。 我想是因为用的不是那种木头吧。 我又试了一次。

wood I shook my head. That didn't look right, either. Finally, I covered my face and I did a groan. "Shh!" said May. Herb started to turn around to see what was the matter. Then he quick stopped himself. 'Cause no turning around during a test, of course. I looked at what I wrote some more. Then I strained my brain to try and remember how to spell it. Only nothing came to me. Finally, I did another groan. And that's when a miracle happened! My friend Herbert came to my rescue!

我摇了摇头。这看起来也不对。 最后，我捂着脸呻吟了一声。 “嘘！”梅说。赫伯开始转过身去看看发生了什么事。 然后他迅速地停了下来。 因为考试的时候不能转身，当然。 我又看了看我写的东西。 然后我绞尽脑汁，试图记住如何拼写它。 可是我什么也没有想到。最后，我又呻吟了一声。 就在那时，奇迹发生了！我的朋友赫伯特来救我了！
