5. Lemonade

5 Lemonade After school, Mr. Scary called Mother at her work. And he told her that I got disappointed about the tournament. That's how come—for dinner that night— Mother made my favorite meal of pasketti and meatballs. Plus she and Daddy tried to be extra nice to me. "I know you're upset about not being in the kickball game," Mother said. "But everyone has disappointments in life, honey." I was still in a bad mood. "I hate disappointments. I hate them," I said.

放学后，吓人先生打电话给正在上班的妈妈。 他告诉她我对比赛很失望。 这就是为什么——那天晚上的晚餐——妈妈做了我最喜欢的意大利面和肉丸。 而且她和爸爸对我特别好。 “我知道你因为没有参加踢球比赛而不高兴，”母亲说。 “但是每个人在生活中都会有失望，亲爱的。” 我还是心情不好。 “我讨厌失望。我讨厌他们，”我说。

Daddy patted me. "Yes, well, we all hate being disappointed, Junie B.," he said. "But Mr. Scary said you can still do something fun in the tournament." I did a mad breath. "I hate that dumb tournament. I hate it," I said. Daddy squinted his eyes at me. He said to please stop saying hate. "I hate saying hate. I hate it," I said. After that, Daddy picked me up. And he carried me to my room for a time-out. It was not unexpected. I waited till he was gone. "I hate time-outs. I hate them," I whispered to my stuffed elephant named Philip Johnny Bob. I hate them, too, Junie B., he said back. I hate everything you hate. You and me hate everything exactly the same.

爸爸拍了拍我。“是啊，我们都讨厌失望，朱妮·B，”他说。 “但是吓人先生说你仍然可以在比赛中做一些有趣的事情。” 我疯狂地吸了一口气。“我讨厌那愚蠢的比武。 我讨厌它，”我说。爸爸眯起眼睛看着我。 他说请不要再说仇恨了。 “我讨厌说‘讨厌’。我讨厌它，”我说。 之后，爸爸来接我。 然后他把我抱回房间休息。 这并不意外。我一直等到他走了。 “我讨厌暂停。我对我的毛绒大象菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃耳语道。 “我也恨他们，朱妮·B，”他回答。 我讨厌你讨厌的一切。 你和我一样讨厌一切。

I hugged him very tight. I love that guy. After that, both of us flopped on my bed. And we calmed ourself down. Pretty soon, Mother came and got me. And she took me back to the table. I did not talk to Daddy.

我紧紧地拥抱着他。我喜欢那家伙。 在那之后，我们俩都在我的床上扑倒了。 我们让自己冷静下来。 很快，妈妈来接我。 然后她带我回到桌子旁。 我没有和爸爸说话。

Also, I did not talk to my baby brother named Ollie. 'Cause he is just learning words. And all he keeps saying is moo. Mother tried to be nice some more. "Are you sure you wouldn't like to be a cheerleader, Junie B.?" she said. "I know you couldn't jump up and down on your sore toe. But you could still yell and shout for your team." Daddy did a chuckle. "And yelling and shouting are right up your alley," he teased. I did not laugh at that remark. Daddy poked me. "Oh, don't be so glum," he said. "Being a cheerleader wouldn't be so bad, would it? Every little girl likes cheerleading." I rolled my eyes at the ceiling. "But I'm not every little girl, Daddy. I am just me. Junie B. Jones. And I don't want to

还有，我没有和我的小弟弟奥利说话。 因为他只是在学习单词。 他一直在说哞。 妈妈又试着对她好一点。 “你确定你不想当啦啦队长吗，朱妮？”她说。 “我知道你不能在疼痛的脚趾上跳上跳下。 但你仍然可以为你的球队呐喊助威。” 爸爸咯咯地笑了。“大喊大叫正是你的拿手好戏，”他揶揄道。 我没有笑那句话。 爸爸戳我。“哦，别这么闷闷不乐，”他说。 “当啦啦队长也没那么糟糕，对吧？ 每个小女孩都喜欢啦啦队。” 我对着天花板翻了个白眼。 “但我不是每个小女孩，爸爸。 我就是我。琼·b·琼斯。 我也不想

be a cheerleader. I want to be on the kickball team." Just then, my nose started to sniffle very much. "I even had a daydream about it," I said. "I was the star of the whole entire game. And it was very wonderful. Only now that is never going to happen." Mother gave me a hug. "Well, no one can be a star all the time," she said. "It's just like I said earlier. Everyone has disappointments sometimes." "Right," said Daddy. "And when life hands you lemons, you have to learn to make lemonade." I looked weird at that man. "Huh?" I said. "What's lemonade got to do with this?" Mother smiled. "It's just a saying, Junie B.,"

做一个啦啦队长。我想加入橄榄球队。” 就在这时，我的鼻子开始流鼻涕。 “我甚至做了一个关于它的白日梦，”我说。 “我是整场比赛的明星。 这是非常美妙的。 只是现在这种情况永远不会发生了。” 妈妈给了我一个拥抱。“嗯，没有人能一直当明星，”她说。 “就像我之前说的。 每个人都有失望的时候。” “好的，”爸爸说。“当生活递给你柠檬时，你必须学会制作柠檬水。” 我奇怪地看着那个人。 “嗯?”我说。“柠檬水跟这有什么关系？”妈妈笑了。 “这只是一种说法，朱妮·B。”

she said. "It means that when life goes a little bit sour, you need to find a way to sweeten it up a bit." Just then, Daddy went to the refrigerator. And he took out three lemons. "Here, look. I'll show you," he said. He held up the lemons for me to see. "See what I have here?" he said. "They're just three sour old lemons, right?" I did a shrug. "I guess so." Daddy grinned. "Ahhh… but maybe these sour lemons are more fun than they look," he said. Then, one by one, he threw each lemon into the air. And WOWIE WOW WOW! HE STARTED TO JUGGLE THEM! I mean it!

她说。“这意味着，当生活变得有点酸时，你需要想办法让它变得甜一点。” 就在这时，爸爸走到冰箱前。 他拿出三个柠檬。 “在这里,看。我指给你看。”他说。 他举起柠檬给我看。 “看到我这儿有什么了吗？”他说。 “它们只是三个又酸又老的柠檬，对吧？”我耸了耸肩。 “我想是的。”爸爸笑了。 “啊……但也许这些酸柠檬比它们看起来更有趣，”他说。 然后，他一个接一个地把柠檬扔到空中。 哇，哇，哇！他开始玩杂耍！我是认真的！
