4. Being a Sandwich

4 Being a Sandwich After we got to our plane gate, we waited and waited some more. Then at last! A man said it was time for us to board the airplane! Board the airplane is the airport word for What do you know? Another dumb-bunny line! Only good news! This time, we were near the front! And so finally, finally, finally we got to our seats! "I GET THE WINDOW SEAT! I GET THE WINDOW SEAT!" I called real loud. Then I ran there speedy quick. And I sat

到达登机门后，我们又等了又等。 最后！一个人说我们该登机了！登上飞机是机场的说法，意思是你知道什么？ 又一句傻兔子台词！只有好消息！这一次，我们离前线很近！最后，最后，最后，我们终于回到了座位上！“我要靠窗的座位！”我要靠窗的座位！”我大声叫着。 然后我飞快地跑过去。 我坐着

right down. There was a teensy little shade on the window! I pushed it up and pulled it down. It was a little bit stuckish. That's how come I kept pushing and pulling and pushing and pulling until it loosened up. Pretty soon, I tapped on Mother and Daddy. "Watch me, okay? Watch me work the window shade!" I said. I took a big breath and started right in. "Up and down! Up and down! Up and down!" I said. I stopped and breathed again. Then I speeded up a little bit. "Upanddown upanddown, upanddown

正确的。窗户上有一个小小的阴影！我把它往上推又往下拉。 有点黏糊糊的。 这就是为什么我一直推啊拉啊推啊拉，直到它松动。 很快，我就找到了爸爸妈妈。 “看着我，好吗？”看我拉窗帘！”我说。 我深深地吸了一口气，马上就开始了。 “上上下下！”上上下下！上上下下！”我说。 我停下来，重新呼吸。 然后我加快了一点速度。 “上下上下，上下上下

upanddown upand—" Just then, Mother reached out her hand. And she stopped my progress. "Okay, good fine. Excellent shade work. Thank you very much," she said. Then she buckled my seat belt. I stretched out my legs as long as they would go. And guess what? They reached all the way to the seat in front of me! "Whoa! My legs are as tall as a giant!" I said. I flattened my feet against the seat. And I pushed and stretched some more. Then, all of a sudden, the lady in front of me popped up like a jumping jack! And she spun around real angry.

就在这时，妈妈伸出手来。 她阻止了我的进步。 “好吧，很好。出色的遮阳工作。 非常感谢，”她说。 然后她扣上了我的安全带。 我把腿伸得尽量长。 你猜怎么着？他们一直到我前面的座位！“哇!我的腿和巨人一样高！”我说。 我把脚贴在座位上。 我又推又伸。 然后，突然之间，我前面的那位女士突然出现了！她生气地转过身来。

"Would you please stop kicking my seat?" she grouched. "I don't like having my seat kicked." "Oh my. Sorry," she said. "It's her first plane trip." I looked at Mother very curious. "But I wasn't even kicking her seat," I said.

“你能不能别踢我的座位？”她抱怨道。 “我不喜欢我的座位被踢。” “哦我。对不起，”她说。“这是她第一次坐飞机旅行。” 我很好奇地看着妈妈。 “但我甚至没有踢她的座位，”我说。

"My legs were just being tall." The lady made a harrumph sound. And she turned around again. After that, I stayed real still. And I didn't move my muscles. Only wait a second! Hold the phone! Just then, I spotted the cutest thing I ever saw! And it's called, Hey! There's a little tray on the back of the grouchy lady's seat! And it's folded up real flat! I leaned up and opened it. "Ha! What will they think of next?" I said. I practiced folding it in and out. "Watch me, Mother! Watch me, Daddy!" I said. I stood up tall to demonstrate. "In and out in and out in and out in and—"

“我的腿长得太高了。” 那位女士发出一种刺耳的声音。 她又转过身来。 从那以后，我就一动不动了。 我没有动我的肌肉。 等一下！别挂电话！就在那时，我看到了我见过的最可爱的东西！它的名字叫，嘿！在那位爱发牢骚的女士的座位后面有一个小托盘！而且它折叠得很平！我俯身打开了它。 “哈!他们接下来会想到什么？”我说。 我练习把它折叠起来。 “看着我，妈妈！”看着我，爸爸！”我说。 我笔直地站起来做示范。 “进来，出去，出去，出去，出去，出去……”

BAM! The grouchy lady popped up again. "What in heaven's name are you doing now?" she grouched. I did a gulp. "I'm demonstrating my tray table," I said. Mother's face looked embarrassed. She said she is sorry again. The lady did a snort and turned back around. "Please, Junie B.," said Mother. "Behave yourself. Do not touch that lady's seat one more time." I slumped way down in my seat. Then I reached into my backpack. And I pulled out Philip Johnny Bob. And I whispered in his softie ear. "Do not touch that seat right there. Or a

砰!那位脾气暴躁的女士又出现了。 “你到底在干什么？”她抱怨道。 我喝了一大口。“我在展示我的小桌板，”我说。 母亲的脸显得很尴尬。 她又说她很抱歉。 女士哼了一声，转过身来。 “求你了，朱尼B，”妈妈说。 “规矩点。别再碰那位女士的座位了。” 我瘫倒在座位上。 然后我把手伸进背包。 我拿出了菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃。 我在他温柔的耳边低语。 “不要碰那个座位。 或者一个
