6. Me and Santa

6 Me and Santa IT WAS PURPLE! THAT'S WHAT! I jumped up and down and all around. "Purple! Purple! I got purple!" I shouted. "I'm getting the thrill of a lifetime! I'm getting the thrill of a lifetime!" I skipped over to May. And I smiled real big in her face. Then I skipped to the middle of the tables. And I did a giant bow. Giant bows are very enjoyable. Even when no one is actually clapping for you.

我和圣诞老人是紫色的！这是什么!我上蹿下跳，到处乱跳。 “紫色!紫色!我变成紫色了！”我叫道。 “我得到了一生难得的刺激！”我得到了一生难得的快感！”我直接跳到梅。 我对她笑得很开心。 然后我跳到桌子中间。 我做了一个大大的鞠躬。巨大的弓非常有趣。 即使没有人为你鼓掌。

After I stopped bowing, Lucille's daddy handed me the beautiful box. I pulled off the paper as fast as I could. Then I lifted off its lid. And I stared inside. "Hmm," I said very puzzled. "It's, um… a box of pink fur." I scratched my head. "I've always wanted a box of pink fur… possibly," I said. Lucille laughed real loud. "Silly Junie B. Jones! It's not just a box of pink fur! Take it out so you can see what it really is!" she said. Then—just as I was about to pick it up— Lucille grabbed the pink fur. And she held it up in front of me. And that is the last actual fun I had at the party. "A bunny suit! See? It's a bunny suit," shouted Lucille. "Junie B. is going to be our

我停止鞠躬后，露西尔的爸爸把那个漂亮的盒子递给了我。 我以最快的速度把纸扯下来。 然后我打开它的盖子。 我盯着里面看。“嗯，”我很困惑地说。 “是，嗯……一盒粉红色的毛皮。” 我挠了挠头。“我一直想要一盒粉红色的毛皮……可能吧，”我说。 露西尔笑得很大声。 “傻琼·b·琼斯！这不仅仅是一盒粉红色的皮毛！把它拿出来，你看看它到底是什么！”她说。 然后，就在我要把它捡起来的时候，露西尔抓起了粉红色的毛皮。 她举在我面前。 这是我在派对上最后一次真正的乐趣。 “兔子装！”看到了吗?这是一套兔子装，”露西尔喊道。 “朱妮·b将是我们的

party's very own Easter Bunny!" May laughed real loud. "SHE'S GOING TO BE OUR DUMB BUNNY, YOU MEAN!" she called out. "JUNIE JONES IS GOING TO BE OUR VERY OWN DUMB BUNNY!" Just then, the rest of the children began to laugh, too. Lucille stamped her mad foot at them. "Stop it!" she said. "Junie B. is not going to be our dumb bunny! She's going to be our Easter Bunny! This is the finest bunny costume money can buy." She held it out to me. "Here, Junie B. Put it on and show everyone how cute it is!" She handed me the costume.

派对专属的复活节兔子！”梅笑得很大声。 “你是说，她要做我们的哑巴兔子了！”她喊道。 “琼·琼斯将成为我们的傻兔子”就在这时，其他的孩子也开始笑了起来。 露西尔朝他们跺了跺脚。 “住手！”她说。“Junie B。 不会是我们的傻兔子！她将成为我们的复活节兔子！这是用钱能买到的最好的兔子服装。” 她把它递给我。“给你，朱妮·B。 穿上它，让大家看看它有多可爱！”她把服装递给我。

I swallowed real hard. "Yeah, only here's the problem, Lucille. I don't actually like costumes that much. Not even at Halloween," I said. "Mostly, I just like dressing up as Junie B. Jones, and that's all."

我咽得很厉害。“是的，但问题是，露西尔。 其实我不太喜欢服装。 “甚至在万圣节也没有。”我说。 “大多数时候，我只是喜欢打扮成朱妮·B。 琼斯，就这些。”

Lucille's whole mouth came open at that news. She put her hands over her ears. "Oh no! Do NOT tell me that, Junie B. Jones!" she said. "You have to be the bunny. You have to!" She ran to her daddy and pulled on his arm. "Make her, Daddy! Make Junie B. be the bunny! Make her!" she yelled. Lucille's daddy rubbed his chin. "Well, we certainly would like it if Junie B. was the bunny," he said. "But we can't really make her, Lucille." Lucille jumped up and down at me. "You're going to ruin my whole party, Junie B. Jones!" she grouched. "We hired an expensive photographer and everything! We're all supposed to get our pictures taken with you!" My ears perked up at that news.

听到这个消息，露西尔张大了嘴巴。 她用手捂住耳朵。 “哦,不!别告诉我，朱妮·B。 琼斯！”她说。“你必须成为兔子。 你必须这么做！”她跑向爸爸，拉着他的胳膊。 “让她来，爸爸！”让朱妮B。 做兔子！逼她！”她喊道。 露西尔的爸爸揉了揉下巴。 “嗯，我们当然希望朱妮B。 是那只兔子，”他说。“但是我们不能强迫她，露西尔。” 露西尔对我跳上跳下。 “你会毁了我的整个派对的，朱妮·B。 琼斯！”她抱怨道。“我们聘请了一个昂贵的摄影师和一切！”我们都应该和你合影的！”听到那个消息，我的耳朵竖起来了。

"Pictures?" I said kind of curious. Lucille nodded. "Yes! Pictures!" she said back. "The photographer has a seat set up for you in the flower garden!" My ears perked up some more. "A seat?" I said. "You mean like… a Santa seat?" Lucille jumped way high in the air. "Yes, yes! Exactly like a Santa seat!" she said. "The photographer is waiting for you! You're going to be a celebrity, Junie B.! Will you do it? Huh? Will you?" I sat down in the grass to think about it. Lucille's daddy bent down next to me. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to, Junie B.," he said. "But we do need to get on with the party. So could you make up your mind, please? Do you want to be the bunny? Or do you want us to get someone else?"

“照片?”我说有点好奇。 露西尔点点头。“是啊!照片！”她回答。 “摄影师在花园里为你安排了一个座位！”我的耳朵又竖起来了。 “一个座位吗?”我说。“你是说……圣诞老人的座位？”露西尔跳得很高。 “是的,是的!一模一样的圣诞老人座椅！”她说。 “摄影师在等你呢！”你会成为名人的，朱尼·b ！你会这么做吗？ 嗯?你会吗?”我坐在草地上想了想。 露西尔的爸爸在我身边弯下腰。 “如果你不愿意，你可以不这么做，朱妮·B，”他说。 “但我们确实需要与党和睦相处。 所以你能下定决心吗？ 你想当兔子吗？ 还是你想让我们找别人？”
