2. Clothes and Nubs

2 Clothes and Nubs Lucille was still mad at lunch. "I just don't get it," she grouched. "How could anyone forget the Easter Bunny? The Easter Bunny brings candy right to your door." Lennie did a frown at her. "He doesn't bring candy to my door, Lucille," he said. "The Easter Bunny is a different religion than me. I'm Jewish." Shirley nodded. "I'm Jewish, too, Lucille," she said. "I've never even been to an Easter-egg hunt

露西尔吃午饭时还在生气。 “我就是不明白，”她抱怨道。 “怎么会有人忘记复活节兔子呢？” 复活节兔子会把糖果送到你家门口。” 伦尼朝她皱了皱眉。 他说：“露西尔，他从不把糖果带到我家门口。” “复活节兔子和我信仰不同的宗教。 我是犹太人。”雪莉点了点头。 “我也是犹太人，露西尔，”她说。 “我连找复活节彩蛋的活动都没参加过

before. What do you wear to something like that, anyway?" Lucille stood up and fluffed herself. "Well—since the Easter Bunny and I are the same religion—I'm going to wear a fancy Easter dress, Shirley," she said. Shirley thought for a minute. Then she nodded. "Hmm. Then I guess I will wear a fancy Jewish dress," she said. Lennie's eyes lighted up. "Really, Shirley? You mean we have our own clothing line?" he asked. He smiled. "Then I think I will wear some fancy Jewish pants," he said. My friend named Herbert tapped on his chin. "Let's see. Since I'm a Pressed-byterian, I guess I should wear Pressed-byterian pants," he said.

之前。你穿什么去参加那样的活动呢？”露西尔站起来，抖了抖自己。 “好吧，既然复活节兔子和我信仰相同的宗教，我要穿一件华丽的复活节礼服，雪莉，”她说。 雪莉想了一会儿。 然后她点点头。“嗯。我想我会穿一件漂亮的犹太服装。”她说。 伦尼的眼睛亮了起来。“真的,雪莉? 你是说我们有自己的服装系列？”他问。 他笑了。“那我想我会穿一些高档的犹太裤，”他说。 我的朋友赫伯特敲了敲他的下巴。 “让我们看看。既然我是老古董，我想我应该穿老古董裤子。”

He turned and looked at me. "Pressed-byterian means we iron out our wrinkles, I think," he said. Just then, Sheldon slapped the table with his hand. "Hey, I know! I will wear a fancy turban! A fancy turban is religious clothes, right?" he asked. "I love fancy turbans!" Mr. Scary was listening to us while he ate. He quick put down his sandwich. "Boys and girls, you're getting way off track here," he said. "Lucille's Easter-egg hunt is not a religious party. Really. I've spoken to her mother about it. It's more of a spring picnic with an egg-hunt activity. Am I right, Lucille?" "Yes," she said. "My mother said the Easter Bunny isn't even working that day. He's just going to hop around the party… and smile …and have his picture taken with people." I thought about that for a second.

他转过身来看着我。 他说：“我想，熨烫的意思是把皱纹熨平。” 就在这时，谢尔顿用手拍了拍桌子。 “嘿，我知道了！”我会戴上漂亮的头巾！华丽的头巾是宗教服饰，对吧？”他问道。 “我喜欢漂亮的头巾！”吓人先生边吃边听我们说话。 他迅速放下三明治。 “孩子们，你们已经偏离轨道了，”他说。 “露西尔的寻找复活节彩蛋活动不是宗教聚会。 真的。我跟她妈妈谈过了。 这更像是一场带着找蛋活动的春季野餐。 我说得对吗，露西尔？”“是的，”她说。 “我妈妈说复活节兔子那天都不工作。 他只会在派对上跳来跳去，微笑着和人们合影。” 我想了一下。

"I don't think bunnies should smile," I said. "Bunnies have yellow teeth, like clown teeth. Except bunny teeth are way pointier." Sheldon nodded. "My aunt Bunny has a pointy tooth," he said. "She can stab a pickle with it. And the pickle just stays there." All of us stared at him. Sheldon has the interestingest family I ever heard of. Lucille did a big breath. "Well, I don't care about pointy bunny teeth," she said. "Bunnies have cute floppy ears, and puffy, fluffy tails, and itchy, twitchy little noses." I kept on picturing their teeth. "Bunny teeth can nibble your head into a nub," I said. "No, they cannot, Junie B. Jones," she said back. "Oh yes they can, Lucille whatever-your last-name-is," I said. "I saw it on Oprah."

“我觉得兔子不应该笑，”我说。 “兔子有黄色的牙齿，就像小丑的牙齿。 不过兔子的牙齿要尖得多。” 谢耳朵点点头。“我的兔子阿姨有一颗尖牙，”他说。 “她可以用它戳泡菜。 泡菜就留在那里了。” 我们都盯着他看。谢尔顿的家庭是我听说过的最有趣的。 露西尔深深地吸了一口气。“好吧，我才不在乎兔子的尖牙呢，”她说。 “兔子有可爱的松软的耳朵，蓬松的尾巴，还有发痒、抽搐的小鼻子。” 我不停地想象着他们的牙齿。 “兔子的牙齿能把你的头咬成小块，”我说。 “不，他们不能，朱妮·B。 琼斯，”她回答。“哦，当然可以，露西尔，不管你姓什么，”我说。 “我在奥普拉节目上看到的。”

Mr. Scary glared at me. I ducked down in my seat. And I quieted my voice. "Oprah has a lot of nub information," I said very soft. Mr. Scary glared again. I started to squirm. Teachers can spot a fib a mile away. At recess, Lucille told us more about the party. She said that there was going to be lots of delicious food to eat. Plus also, there was going to be an exciting prize for the Easter- egg winner. "And wait till you hear this!" she said. "My daddy is going to hide a real pretend golden egg! And whoever finds the golden egg will win The Grand Prize of the Day! And that is

吓人先生瞪着我。我在座位上蹲下身子。 于是我压低了声音。“奥普拉有很多重要的信息，”我轻声说。 吓人先生又瞪了他一眼。我开始局促不安。 老师在一英里外就能识破谎言。 课间休息时，露西尔给我们讲了更多关于晚会的事。 她说会有很多好吃的东西吃。 此外，还将有一个令人兴奋的奖品为复活节彩蛋的赢家。 “你等着听这个吧！”她说。 “我爸爸要藏一个真正的假金蛋！”找到金蛋的人将赢得今天的大奖！那就是

a fabulous playdate with … ME! LUCILLE!" She twirled around and hugged herself. "And it's not just any old fabulous play- date with me, either!" she said. "The winner is going to get to go swimming with me in my heated indoor swimming pool that we just had enclosed!" She did a little shiver and rubbed her arms. "Isn't that exciting, everyone?" she asked. "Doesn't that give you the tinkles?" She looked around. "Well? Doesn't it? Huh? Doesn't it make you tinkle all over?" she asked. All of the children looked curious at each other. Herbert rocked back and forth on his feet a minute. "Um, I think you mean the tingles" he said at last. José nodded. "Sí, Lucille. You definitely mean the tingles," he said.

和……我一起玩！露西尔!”她转过身来，抱住自己。 她说：“这也不是跟我一起玩的那种美妙的约会！” “获胜者可以和我一起去我们刚刚封闭的室内温水游泳池游泳！”她微微打了个寒噤，揉了揉胳膊。 “这不是很令人兴奋吗，各位？”她问。 “这不会让你感到兴奋吗？”她环顾四周。 “嗯?不是吗?嗯?它不会让你全身叮当作响吗？”她问。 所有的孩子都好奇地面面相觑。 赫伯特前后摇晃了一会儿。 “嗯，我想你是指那种刺痛感吧。”他最后说。 何塞点了点头。“如果,露西尔。 你肯定是指那种刺痛感，”他说。
