3. Waiting and Waiting

3 Waiting and Waiting On Saturday morning, I jumped out of bed very excited. 'Cause today was the day of the party, of course! "The Easter-egg hunt! The Easter-egg hunt! Today is the day of the Easter-egg hunt!" I sang real loud. I ran into Mother and Daddy's room. And I turned on their light. "The Easter-egg hunt! The Easter-egg hunt! Today is the day of the Easter-egg hunt!" I sang again.

星期六早上，我兴奋地跳下床。 因为今天是派对的日子，当然啦！“找复活节彩蛋！”寻找复活节彩蛋！今天是找复活节彩蛋的日子！”我唱得很大声。 我跑进爸爸妈妈的房间。 我打开了他们的灯。 “找复活节彩蛋！”寻找复活节彩蛋！今天是找复活节彩蛋的日子！”我又唱了一遍。

Mother opened one eyeball. "It's not time to get up yet, Junie B.," she said. "It's still dark outside. Please go back to bed." I put my head next to her face. "Yeah, only I don't think that's actually possible," I said. "On account of my brain is already activated." Mother put her pillow over her head. I lifted it up. "I'm going to find the golden egg today," I said. "I told you about that. Right, Mother? Whoever finds the golden egg gets to swim in Lucille's hot water." I hugged myself very happy. "I would love, love, love to swim in hot water," I said. "Except for Sheldon and May want that prize, too. Plus Lucille loves Sheldon. And so maybe she might give him a hint or something. And a hint would not be good."

妈妈睁开一只眼睛。 “还没到起床的时间呢，朱妮·B，”她说。 “外面还黑着呢。请回去睡觉吧。” 我把头靠在她的脸上。 “是的，只是我不认为这是可能的，”我说。 “因为我的大脑已经激活了。” 母亲把枕头罩在头上。 我把它举起来。“今天我要去找金蛋，”我说。 “我告诉过你。对了,妈妈? 谁能找到金蛋，谁就能在露西尔的热水里游泳。” 我很高兴地拥抱着自己。 “我非常、非常、非常喜欢在热水里游泳，”我说。 除了谢尔顿和梅也想要那个奖。 而且露西尔爱谢尔顿。 也许她会给他暗示什么的。 有暗示可不好。”

I did a little frown. "Plus here is another problem," I said. "May has bird parts. And birds can see as good as a hawk." Mother pretended to snore. I did a huffy breath at her. Sometimes mothers do not act their old age. Finally, I put the pillow back on her head. And I went back to my room. Then I picked up my stuffed elephant named Philip Johnny Bob. And we skipped to my closet to pick out party clothes. We looked at all my hangers. "Hmm," I said. "Hmm, hmm, hmm. What kind of clothes are good egg-hunting clothes, do you think, Phil?" Philip tapped on his trunk. Well, let's see. Good egg-hunting clothes should be easy to run in, probably. 'Cause when you spot an egg, you will have to beat

我微微皱了皱眉。“另外还有一个问题，”我说。 “梅有鸟的器官。而且鸟的视力和鹰一样好。” 母亲假装打鼾。 我朝她吹了口气。 有时母亲们的行为并不像他们的老年。 最后，我把枕头放回她的头上。 然后我回到了我的房间。 然后我拿起我的毛绒大象，名叫菲利普·约翰尼·鲍勃。 然后我们跳到我的衣橱里挑选派对服装。 我们看了我所有的衣架。 “嗯，”我说。“嗯，嗯，嗯。 菲尔，你觉得什么样的衣服才是找蛋的好衣服？”菲利普敲了敲箱子。 好吧，让我看看。好的找蛋服应该很容易穿。 因为当你发现鸡蛋的时候，你必须要打

people to it. Right? he asked. "Right," I said. "Plus good egg-hunting clothes should not be a dress, either. On account of sometimes—when I am beating people to an egg—I will have to tackle them and get in a scuffle." Correct, said Philip. Tackling and scuffling often happens in egg hunts. He thought some more. Also, good egg-hunting clothes should have big pockets to carry all the eggs you're going to find, he said. I nodded. "Yes. Plus good egg clothes have to be pretty. Right, Phil?" I said. "Because this is a fancy party, you know." I know, said Phil. Egg clothes should definitely be pretty… like… like… We looked some more. Then ha! Both of us spotted the pretty clothes at once! "LIKE THOSE BRAND-NEW

人们喜欢它。对吧?他问道。 “好的，”我说。另外，好的找蛋衣服也不应该是裙子。 因为有时候——当我把人打到一个鸡蛋上的时候——我不得不抓住他们，和他们扭打起来。” 对，菲利普说。抢蛋和扭打经常发生在找蛋过程中。 他又想了想。此外，好的找蛋衣服应该有大口袋，可以装下你会找到的所有鸡蛋，他说。 我点了点头。“是的。另外，好的鸡蛋衣服必须漂亮。 菲尔?”我说。“因为这是一个豪华的派对，你知道的。” 我知道，菲尔说。穿蛋服一定要漂亮，就像，就像，我们又看了一些。 然后哈!我们俩立刻认出了那件漂亮的衣服！“就像那些崭新的

LAVENDER OVERALLS THAT MOTHER JUST BOUGHT!" we shouted real joyful. Phil threw himself way high in the air. Yes! Yes! The brand-new lavender overalls will be perfect, Junie B.! 'Cause lavender is 'zactly like purple, almost! And purple is the color of your favorite glasses! He flung himself in the air again. We are a genius at picking egg clothes! he said. "Yes! We are a genius, Philip!" I said back. "I cannot lose the egg hunt in this perfect outfit!" After that, I quick put on my lavender overalls. And then me and Philip ran to the window. And we sat down on the floor. And we waited and waited for daylight to come. The party was supposed to start at lunch

妈妈刚买的淡紫色工装裤！”我们高兴地喊道。 菲尔一跃而起。 是的!是的!全新的淡紫色工装裤一定很完美，朱妮·b ！因为薰衣草几乎就是紫色！紫色是你最喜欢的眼镜的颜色！他又一跃而起。 我们是挑蛋衣的天才！他说。 “是啊!我们真是天才，菲利普！"我说。 “我穿着这身完美的衣服不能输掉找蛋的比赛！”之后，我迅速穿上我的淡紫色工装裤。 然后我和菲利普跑到窗前。 我们在地板上坐下。 我们等啊等，等待着天亮。 聚会应该在午餐时开始

time. There was going to be a picnic before the egg hunt. That information was printed right on Lucille's fancy invitation. I read it to Mother and Daddy at breakfast. "A picnic lunch will be served on the grounds before the event," I read. I smiled. "I enjoy eating on the ground," I said. Mother laughed. "Oh, I don't think you'll be eating on the ground, Junie B.," she said. "Grounds are what rich people call their lawns and gardens." I got down from the table and looked outside. "Do we have grounds?" I asked. Mother rolled her eyes and looked at Daddy. "Heavens no, Junie B.," she said. "What we

时间。在找蛋之前会有一个野餐。 这个信息就印在露西尔的请柬上。 早餐时我读给爸爸妈妈听。 “在活动开始前，我们会在场地上提供野餐午餐，”我读到。 我笑了笑。“我喜欢在地上吃东西，”我说。 妈妈笑了。“哦，我想你不会在地上吃饭的，朱妮·B，”她说。 “Grounds就是富人所说的草坪和花园。” 我从桌子上下来，向外看了看。 “我们有理由吗？”我问。 妈妈翻了个白眼，看着爸爸。 “天哪，不，朱妮·B，"她说。 “我们
