5. The Jelly Bean Game

5 The Jelly Bean Game Lucille's daddy clapped his loud hands together. "Boys and girls, please find a seat at one of the picnic tables. Lunch will be served shortly," he called. I waited to see where Sheldon was going to sit. May waited, too. 'Cause both of us had to keep track of that guy, of course. Only too bad for me. Because as soon as Sheldon picked a table,

露西尔的爸爸大声地拍了拍手。 “孩子们，请在野餐桌旁找个座位。 午餐马上就上。”他喊道。 我等着看谢尔顿会坐在哪里。 梅也等着。当然，因为我们俩都得跟踪那个家伙。 对我来说太糟糕了。因为谢尔顿一选好桌子

Lucille sat down next to him. And VAROOM! May slid in on his other side. And I got shut out! "Wait! Hold it! No fair!" I said. Then I quick tried to squeeze myself between May and Sheldon. But May would not budge herself. I did a grr face at her. May hissed like a snake. I stood there very puzzled. I do not actually have a comeback for a hiss. Finally, I went to the other side of the table. And I sat down across from them. "That dumb May," I grumped to just myself. "She keeps getting one step ahead of me today. Plus Sheldon is one step ahead of me, too." I looked across the table. Lucille was whispering to Sheldon very

露西尔在他旁边坐下。 呜呜声!梅从他的另一边溜了进来。 我被拒之门外了！“等等!抓住它!不公平!”我说。 然后我赶紧挤到梅和谢尔顿中间。 但梅不愿让步。 我对她做了个鬼脸。梅像蛇一样发出嘶嘶声。 我站在那里非常困惑。 我对嘘声并没有反击的能力。 最后，我走到桌子的另一边。 我在他们对面坐了下来。 “那个哑巴梅，”我对自己发牢骚。 “她今天总是领先我一步。 而且谢尔顿也比我先一步。” 我看了看桌子对面。 露西尔跟谢尔顿说悄悄话

secret. May leaned her head over. And she listened through Sheldon's other ear. Whispers can come right through Sheldon's head, apparently. I put my chin in my hands. "I don't stand a chance in this stupid egg hunt," I said to Herb. He gave me a little pat. Sometimes a little pat is all a friend can do. Only guess what? Just then, something very nice happened! And it's called, Lucille's nanna walked over to where I was sitting. And she sat in a chair at the end of my table! I jumped up real thrilled. "NANNA! NANNA! LOOK! LOOK! IT'S ME! IT'S JUNIE B. JONES! AND YOU ARE SITTING RIGHT EXACTLY NEXT TO ME!" I shouted. The nanna glanced her eyes at Lucille's

的秘密。梅把头探了过去。 她用谢尔顿的另一只耳朵听。 很显然，窃窃私语可以直接穿过谢尔顿的脑袋。 我双手托着下巴。 我对赫伯说：“在这个愚蠢的找蛋活动中，我没有机会。” 他轻轻地拍了我一下。有时候，朋友所能做的只有一点点帮助。 你猜怎么着？就在这时，发生了一件好事！它的名字是，露西尔的奶奶走到我坐的地方。 她坐在我桌子那头的椅子上！我激动地跳了起来。 “奶奶!奶奶!看！看！是我!是朱尼b。 琼斯!而你就坐在我旁边！”我叫道。 奶奶瞥了露西尔一眼

mother and daddy. "Yes. I know, dear. I lost the coin toss," she said kind of annoyed. I sat back down and tickled her arm. "This reminds me of when we ate dinner together last year," I said. "That was very fun. Except I accidentally broke your crystal glass. Remember that, Nanna? Huh? Do you?" The nanna nodded. "Oh yes. I remember," she said. I thought back. "Plus I accidentally busted your feather pillow. And if I'm not mistaken, I spilled beanie weenies on your expensive linen tablecloth," I said. The nanna looked at me. "You're not mistaken," she said back. I smiled and patted her hand. "Good times," I said real soft. May heard me talking. "Well, Lucille and I are going to have good times, too. Right, Lucille? When I come to

妈妈和爸爸。“是的。我知道，亲爱的。 我掷硬币输了，”她有点恼火地说。 我坐回去，搔她的胳膊。 “这让我想起了去年我们一起吃晚饭的时候，”我说。 “那很有趣。除了我不小心打碎了你的水晶杯。 还记得吗，奶奶？嗯? 你呢?”奶奶点了点头。 “哦,是的。我记得，”她说。 我想了想。“而且我不小心打碎了你的羽毛枕头。 如果我没弄错的话，我把小豆帽洒在你昂贵的亚麻桌布上了，”我说。 奶奶看着我。“你没有搞错，”她回答说。 我微笑着拍拍她的手。 “好时光，”我温柔地说。 梅听到了我的谈话。“好吧，露西尔和我也会玩得很开心的。 露西尔?当我醒来

swim in your pool, that will really be good times," she said. Sheldon looked at her and grinned. "Don't count your chickens before they're hashed, May," he said. The nanna did a little chuckle. "I think you mean hatched, dear. It's don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Not hashed," she said. Sheldon raised his eyebrows. "Really? Are you sure? 'Cause at our house, my aunt Bunny brings chicken hash for dinner every Sunday," he said. "Chicken hash is her specialty." He smiled real proud. "Aunt Bunny was a chef in prison," he said. The nanna's face went funny. She lowered her head to the table. And she rested her cheek on her napkin. I leaned my face down next to her. "Speaking of bunnies… Lucille said the

在你的游泳池里游泳，那将是一段美好的时光，”她说。 谢尔顿看着她，咧嘴一笑。 他说：“梅，不要过早乐观。” 奶奶咯咯地笑了。 “我想你是说孵出来的吧，亲爱的。 这就好比不要过早地打如意算盘。 没有捣碎，”她说。谢尔顿扬起眉毛。 “真的吗?你确定吗？因为在我们家，我的阿姨巴尼每周日都会带鸡肉泥做晚餐，”他说。 “鸡肉杂碎是她的特色菜。” 他骄傲地笑了。“邦妮阿姨在监狱里当过厨师，”他说。 奶奶的脸变得滑稽起来。 她把头垂到桌子上。 她把脸颊贴在餐巾上。 我俯身靠近她。 “说到兔子……露西尔说……

Easter Bunny would be here today. Only I haven't actually seen him yet. And so where is he, anyway, Nanna?" I asked. Lucille did a huff at me. "Nosy Junie B. Jones. Why did you have to ask that question?" she said. "My nanna does not want to talk about that. Do you, Nanna? You made a teensy little mistake about the bunny. And you don't want any-one to know about how you almost ruined the party." The nanna did a groan. Lucille kept on talking. "My nanna was in charge of hiring the Easter Bunny. Only instead of hiring the real Easter Bunny, she hired a cheap, fake Easter Bunny. Right, Nanna?" The nanna did not reply. Lucille went on. "The fake bunny came to our house to get his pay yesterday. Only his fur was real matty. And the top of his ear was chewed

复活节兔子今天会在这里。 只是我还没见过他。 那么，他到底在哪里，奶奶？”我问。 露西尔对我大发雷霆。“爱管闲事的朱妮？ 琼斯。你为什么要问这个问题？”她说。 “我奶奶不想谈这个。 是吗，奶奶？你在兔子的事上犯了个小错误。 你不想让任何人知道你差点毁了晚会。” 奶奶呻吟了一声。露西尔继续说着。 “我奶奶负责雇复活节兔子。 只是她没有雇真正的复活节兔子，而是雇了一个廉价的假复活节兔子。 对,奶奶?”奶奶没有回答。 露西尔接着说。“假兔子昨天来我们家领工资。 只有他的皮毛是真正的粗糙。 他的耳尖被咬了
