5. No Squirty

5 No Squirty Dear little piece of paper that I am writing on in my room, Today is Halloween. Only guess what? No seltzer bottle! THAT'S WHAT! 'Cause Mother said I am not even allowed to squirt people! And so how am I supposed to scare off the monsters and

亲爱的，我在我房间里写的一张小纸条，今天是万圣节。 你猜怎么着？没有苏打水！这是什么!因为妈妈说我甚至不能喷人！那我要怎么吓跑那些怪物

witches? That's what I would like to know! Also, my clown hair is not exactly like Squirty's. Plus I couldn't even find a Squirty shirt. I do not have faith in this costume. From, Not exactly Squirty P.S. I would like to spray Mother with seltzer. I stopped writing and looked at my clock. It was already after dinner. Mother was in Ollie's room. She was dressing him in his Halloween costume. I crawled under my covers with Philip Johnny Bob. And I worried about my

女巫吗?这就是我想知道的！还有，我的小丑发型和小松鼠的不太一样。 而且我甚至找不到一件小松鼠的衬衫。 我对这身戏服没信心。 不完全是小松鼠附言 我想给妈妈喷点苏打水。 我停止了写作，看了看时钟。 已经吃过晚饭了。 妈妈在奥利的房间里。 她给他穿上万圣节的服装。 我和菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃一起躲在被窝里。 我担心我的

costume some more. "I still don't know why I can't squirt monsters with seltzer," I said. Me either, Philip said. Squirting seltzer would scare their pants off. Just then, we heard a knock on my door. I did not say come in. But Mother came in anyway. That is a bad habit of hers. I peeked my eyes out of the covers. Mother was holding baby Ollie. He was wearing a cow suit. My grandma Miller made it for him for Halloween. Mother put Ollie on the floor. "Moo," he said. I made the cuckoo sign at him. "Come on, Junie B. Let's go," said Mother. "Without Daddy here to help, I'm running

再打扮一下。“我还是不知道为什么我不能用苏打水喷怪物，”我说。 我也是，菲利普说。喷苏打水会把他们吓得屁滚尿流。 就在这时，我们听到有人敲我的门。 我没说请进。但母亲还是进来了。 那是她的一个坏习惯。 我从被子里偷偷看了看。 妈妈抱着小奥利。 他穿着奶牛装。 这是我奶奶米勒为他做的万圣节礼物。 妈妈把奥利放在地板上。 “哞，”他说。我对他做了个布谷鸟手势。 “走吧，朱尼b，我们走，”妈妈说。 “没有爸爸的帮助，我要跑了

behind. We have to hurry and get you dressed. Grandma and Grampa Miller are coming over to take pictures." After that, she got my bag of clown parts. And she spread them on the bed. There was a red clown nose. And curly clown hair. And big, fat clown pants with s'penders. Also, there was a giant bow tie like Squirty wore. And big white gloves. And a shirt with puffery buttons on the front. Mother fastened the buttons of my clown shirt. And she pulled the clown pants over my jeans. Then she put the s'penders over my shoulders. And she snapped the bow tie around my neck. And I put on my gloves. I looked at myself in the mirror. "But … but I don't look like Squirty," I said

在后面。我们得快点给你换衣服。 米勒奶奶和米勒爷爷要过来拍照了。” 之后，她拿了我那袋小丑的戏份。 她把它们铺在床上。 有一个红色的小丑鼻子。 还有小丑的卷发。还有又大又肥的小丑裤。 此外，还有一个巨大的领结，就像松鼠戴的那样。 还有大大的白手套。还有一件前面有蓬松纽扣的衬衫。 妈妈把我的小丑衬衫扣好。 她把小丑裤套在我的牛仔裤外面。 然后她把s'penders放在我的肩膀上。 她把领结系在我脖子上。 然后我戴上手套。我看着镜子里的自己。 “但是……但是我长得不像松鼠。”我说

real whiny. "I just look like plain old me except with very stupid taste in clothes." Mother smiled. "Well, of course you don't look like a clown yet, silly," she said. "You can't look like a clown until you've got your makeup on." After that, she turned me around to face her. And she told me to close my eyes. And she put clown makeup all over my face. When she got done, she plopped my clown hair on my head. And then, kerplunk! She stuck on my red nose. And she beamed real happy. "Ta-daa!" she said. "You're a clown!" My heart got poundy and thumpy at those words. I turned around to see in the mirror again. And wowie wow wow!

真正的爱抱怨的。“我看起来就像以前的我，除了穿着品味很傻。” 妈妈笑了。“好吧，你当然还不像个小丑，傻瓜，”她说。 “在你化妆之前，你不能看起来像个小丑。” 然后，她把我转过来面对她。 她让我闭上眼睛。 她在我脸上画了小丑妆。 做完后，她把我的小丑头发往我头上一甩。 然后，扑通一声！她粘在我的红鼻子上。 她笑得很开心。 “哈哈！”她说。“你是个小丑！”听到这些话，我的心怦怦直跳。 我转过身去看镜子里的自己。 哇，哇，哇！

My eyes popped right out of my head! 'Cause I looked like Squirty, I tell you! I did a loud gasp at that sight. Then I bent over and tried to catch my breath. "Whew!" I said. "Whoa! Whew!" Mother laughed. "I'll take that as a compliment," she said. "I have to admit, you look a lot more like Squirty than I thought you would." I kept on breathing till I got my air back. Then, very slow, I raised my head. And I peeked at myself once more. Chill bumps came on my arms. I leaned closer and made a creepy clown grin. I did a shiver. "I am scaring myself silly," I said.

我的眼睛都要跳出来了！因为我跟你说，我长得像小松鼠！看到那情景，我大声倒吸了一口气。 然后我弯下腰，试着喘口气。 “呼!”我说。“哇!唷!”妈妈笑了。 “我就当这是一种恭维吧，”她说。 “我得承认，你长得比我想象的更像Squirty。” 我一直在呼吸，直到我恢复了呼吸。 然后，我慢慢地抬起头来。 我又瞥了一眼自己。 我的胳膊打了个寒颤。 我靠得更近了，做了一个令人毛骨悚然的小丑笑容。 我打了个寒颤。“我把自己吓傻了，”我说。
