9. Plops

9 Plops Room Two laughed even louder. Rooms Three and Four laughed, too. I hated that mean noise! I hated it! Tears came in my eyes. And my nose started sniffling very much. I hanged my head so no one could see. And ha! That's when I spotted them! Sheldon's cymbals! They were still lying in the grass right next to my feet!

9砰！ 2号房笑得更响了。 3号和4号房间也笑了。 我讨厌那刺耳的噪音！我讨厌它！泪水涌上了我的眼睛。 我的鼻子开始流鼻涕。 我低下头，没人看见。 和哈!就在那时我发现了他们！谢尔登的钹!它们还躺在我脚边的草地上！

I quick picked them up. And I crashed them together so I wouldn't hear the laughing. And it worked, I tell you! It worked! I couldn't hear the laughing at all! That's how come I crashed them again… and again… and again, until my arms got tired. And guess what? When I finally stopped, no one was even laughing anymore. I felt a little better. Cymbals are very enjoyable. After that, I stood in the middle of the field. And I rocked back and forth on my feet very thinking. 'Cause I didn't know what to do next, of course. Just then, I heard shouting. "BORRRRING!" yelled a voice.

我迅速地把它们捡起来。我把它们撞在一起，这样我就听不到笑声了。 我告诉你，它起作用了！它工作!我根本听不到笑声！这就是为什么我一遍又一遍地摔，直到我的胳膊累了。 你猜怎么着？当我终于停下来的时候，甚至没有人再笑了。 我感觉好多了。铙钹很有趣。 在那之后，我站在场地中央。 我一边想一边前后摇晃着。 当然，因为我不知道下一步该做什么。 就在这时，我听到了喊叫。 “嘘！”一个声音喊道。

"DON'T JUST STAND THERE… DO SOMETHING!" yelled a different voice. I looked up. The boys who shouted were being taken away by their teacher. But it was already too late. More tears were coming in my eyes. Mr. Scary started coming to get me. My brain began to panic. 'Cause this was the stupidest halftime show I ever even saw. The children started laughing again. They would be laughing at me for the rest of their life, probably! Then, all of a sudden, my eyes glanced over to Sheldon's microphone. And what do you know? A brand-new idea popped into my head! And it's called, Hey! Maybe I could sing a song just like Sheldon was going to do! I grinned real big.

“别光站在那儿……做点什么！”另一个声音喊道。 我抬起头来。大声喊叫的男孩被老师带走了。 但是已经太迟了。 更多的泪水涌上了我的眼睛。 恐怖先生开始来找我。 我的大脑开始恐慌。因为这是我见过的最愚蠢的中场秀。 孩子们又笑了起来。 他们可能会嘲笑我一辈子！然后，我突然瞥了一眼谢尔顿的麦克风。 你知道什么？一个全新的想法突然出现在我的脑海里！它的名字叫，嘿！也许我可以像谢尔顿那样唱首歌！我笑得很开心。

Yes! Yes! I could sing "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow" from the hit musical Annie. 'Cause I love that tune, I tell you! I hurried over to the microphone. Then I opened my mouth to sing. Only I couldn't actually remember how that song started. Mr. Scary was getting closer. My brain panicked some more. Then, out of nowhere, I heard a— PLOP! I looked down. Something had landed on the ground next to my boots. I looked closer. It was a flaky biscuit, I believe. PLOP, PLOP, PLOP! Two more biscuits. And a small plum.

是的!是的!我可以唱热门音乐剧《安妮》里的《太阳明天会出来》。 因为我喜欢这首曲子，我告诉你！我急忙走到麦克风前。 然后我张开嘴唱歌。 只是我不记得那首歌是怎么开始的。 可怕先生越来越近了。 我的大脑更加恐慌了。 然后，不知从什么地方传来一声——扑通一声！我低下头。 有东西落在我靴子旁边的地上。 我仔细看了看。我想那是一块易碎的饼干。 扑通，扑通，扑通！再来两块饼干。 还有一个小李子。

Then suddenly, there was another fuss in the stands. And two more kids were getting led away by their teacher. That's when I got it. That's when I figured out that those meanie kids had thrown food at me! And throwing food is the biggest insult you can even do! At first, my face turned red as a tomato. Then I felt myself getting mad. And I got madder… And madder… And then I picked up those biscuits! And I started to throw them back! Only all at once, my brain changed its mind! And—instead of throwing them back— I

突然，看台上又一阵骚动。 还有两个孩子被老师带走了。 那是我得到它的时候。那时我才明白是那些坏孩子往我身上扔食物！扔食物是你能做的最大的侮辱！起初，我的脸红得像个西红柿。 然后我觉得自己要发疯了。 我越来越生气，越来越生气，然后我拿起那些饼干！我开始把它们扔回去！只是突然之间，我的大脑改变了主意！我没有把它们扔回去，而是

put two of the biscuits in my right hand! And I held the other biscuit in my left hand. And then I tossed them in the air! One by one! Exactly like my juggle book said to. And then, MAGIC HAPPENED, I TELL YOU! It did! It really did! Because for just a few teensy seconds, I juggled those biscuits way high in the air! I juggled them as perfect as could be! And I caught them, too! I caught all three of those flaky guys. And then the whole entire bleachers started to clap and clap and clap! And then they cheered and cheered and cheered! And the sound of that noise was better

把两块饼干放在我的右手里！我左手拿着另一块饼干。 然后我把它们扔到空中！一个接一个！就像我的杂耍书上说的那样。 然后，奇迹发生了，我告诉你！它了!真的！因为就在那短短的几秒钟里，我把那些饼干抛到了空中！我尽可能完美地耍了他们！我也抓住了他们！我抓住了那三个怪人。 然后整个看台上的人开始鼓掌，鼓掌，鼓掌！然后他们欢呼，欢呼，欢呼！那声音听起来更好
