9. The Bestest Gifts

9 The Bestest Gifts The next morning, Mother gave me a five- dollar bill for the gift shop. I looked at it in my hand. "Big whoop," I said. I would not actually recommend saying that comment. I got marched to my room for a timeout. While I was there, I unzipped my backpack. And I checked on my coal. It was still safe and sound in its plastic baggie. After that, I got the five dollars Grampa Miller gave me. And I added it to Mother's

9最好的礼物第二天早上，妈妈给了我一张去礼品店买东西的五美元钞票。 我看着手里的书。 “太棒了，”我说。其实我并不建议你这么说。 我被押到房间休息。 在那里的时候，我拉开了背包的拉链。 我检查了我的煤。它还安然无恙地装在塑料袋里。 在那之后，我得到了米勒爷爷给我的五美元。 我把它加到了妈妈的盒子里

money. And I hid all of my dollars in the bottom of my shoe. Hiding money in your shoe is a good way to keep it safe from pickpocket people. I saw that on the Travel Channel. But I must have done something wrong, I think. On account of my dollars got very wadded up at the end of my sock. And they pressed against my little piggy toe. That's how come—when I got to Room One—I took off my shoe. And I rubbed my toe all better. May looked over at me. She made a face and held her nose. "That is disgusting, Junie Jones," she said. "People should not play with their own stinky feet." I raised my eyebrows very curious. "Then whose stinky feet should we play

钱。我把所有的钱都藏在鞋底。 把钱藏在鞋子里是防止扒手偷钱的好方法。 我在旅游频道上看到的。 但我想我一定是做错了什么。 因为我的钱在我的袜子的末端被弄得很乱。 它们压在我的小脚趾上。 这就是为什么——当我来到一号房间时，我脱下了鞋子。 我把脚趾揉得好多了。 梅看着我。她做了个鬼脸，捏着鼻子。 “太恶心了，琼·琼斯，”她说。 “人们不应该玩自己的臭脚。” 我很好奇地扬起眉毛。 “那么我们该玩谁的臭脚呢？

with?" I asked. May put her hands over her ears. "I am not going to listen to you today," she said. "Today is Secret Santa Day. And I am not going to let you ruin my happy mood." After that, she turned back around. And she tapped on Lennie's head. "Happy Secret Santa Day, Lennie! I can't wait for the party. Can you?" Lennie started to answer. But May interrupted. "I dressed all in red and green today," she said. "See my socks? One is red and one is green. See?" Lennie stared at her feet. "When my grandfather does that, we make him go back and change," he said. May did a giggle. "But I did it on purpose, Lennie," she said. "See the ribbons on my

呢?”我问。梅用手捂住耳朵。 “我今天不想听你的，”她说。 “今天是神秘圣诞老人日。 我不会让你毁了我的好心情。” 然后，她转过身来。 她轻轻地拍了拍伦尼的头。 “神秘圣诞日快乐，伦尼！”我等不及派对了。 你能吗?”伦尼开始回答。 但梅打断了他的话。“我今天穿了一身红绿相间的衣服，”她说。 “看到我的袜子了吗？”一个是红色的，一个是绿色的。 看到了什么?”伦尼盯着她的脚。 “当我祖父这样做的时候，我们让他回去换衣服，”他说。 梅咯咯地笑了起来。“但我是故意的，伦尼，”她说。 “看我身上的丝带

braids? One is red and one is green… just like my socks. And see? My sweater is green. And my dress is red." She stood up and turned around. "This is how everyone should dress on Secret Santa Day!" she said. "Every time I think about our party, it makes my skin prickle. Want to see?" She closed her eyes for a second. Then she did a little quiver. "Woo! I felt it!" she said. "I felt my skin prickle again!" Lennie stared at her. I stared at her, too. 'Cause I never actually saw her happy before. "You are acting like a nut," I said. "How come you are acting like a nut?" May started to make a mad face. Then,

辫子吗?一个是红色的，一个是绿色的，就像我的袜子一样。 ,看到了吗?我的毛衣是绿色的。 我的裙子是红色的。”她站起来，转过身来。 她说：“每个人在神秘圣诞老人日都应该这样穿！” “每次想到我们的聚会，我的皮肤就会刺痛。 想看看吗？”她闭了一会儿眼睛。 然后她微微颤抖了一下。 “哇!我感觉到了！”她说。 “我又感到皮肤刺痛了！”伦尼盯着她。 我也盯着她看。因为我从没见过她开心过。 “你像个疯子，”我说。 “你怎么表现得像个疯子？”梅开始做个鬼脸。 然后,

very quick, she smiled again. "Ha! See that, Junie Jones? See how fast I smiled? Even if you call me names, you still can't ruin my happy mood today." I made the cuckoo sign at her. But May kept right on smiling. Pretty soon, the bell rang to start school.

很快，她又笑了。 “哈!看到了吗，琼·琼斯？ 看到我笑得多快了吗？就算你骂我，也毁不了我今天的好心情。” 我对她做了个布谷鸟手势。 但梅一直在微笑。 很快，上课的铃声响了。

Mr. Scary took attendance. Also, we did opening ceremonies. Then hurray, hurray! He said it is time for Room One to go to the gift shop! I clapped real loud at that happy news. 'Cause pretty soon I would have my very own Squeez-a-Burp! And that is a dream come true! I sprang out of my chair. And I ran to the door. "Yay! Yay! Yay! I'm first in line! I'm first in line!" I called real joyful. Then I jumped up and down. And I twirled all around. Plus also, I skipped to and fro. Mr. Scary said to please settle down. But my feet would not stop bouncing! That's how come Mr. Scary finally gave up on me. And he held my hand. And both of us led Room One to the gift shop!

吓人先生点名了。 此外，我们还做了开幕式。 那么万岁，万岁！他说一号房间该去礼品店了！听到那喜讯，我热烈鼓掌。 因为很快我就会有自己的“挤压打嗝”了！这就是梦想成真！我从椅子上跳了起来。 我跑到门口。“耶!耶!耶!我排在第一个！我排在第一个！”我真的很高兴。 然后我跳上跳下。 我转了一圈。另外，我还来回跳。 吓人先生说请安静。 但是我的脚不停地跳！这就是为什么恐怖先生最终放弃了我。 他握着我的手。我们俩把一号房间带到礼品店！
