1. The Contest

1 The Contest Monday Dear first-grade journal Today is the month of Thanksgiving. At Thanksgiving we draw a lot of turkeys. Also we draw pilgrims and Native Americans. They are eating at a table usually.

星期一比赛亲爱的一年级日记今天是感恩节。 在感恩节我们画了很多火鸡。 我们也吸引了朝圣者和印第安人。 他们通常在桌子上吃饭。

Both of them seem to enjoy squash. I do not actually understand Pilgrims. Their costumes look hottish and sweatish. This week Room One is making a list of the stuff we are thankful for. After we get done, we will put our list in a school contest. And the room with the bestest thankful list will win. Also we are having a Thanksgiving feast on Wednesday. Our families get to come to school.

他们俩似乎都喜欢壁球。 我不太了解朝圣者。 他们的服装看起来既性感又充满汗水。 这周一号房间列了一张我们要感谢的事物的清单。 完成后，我们将把我们的名单放在学校的比赛中。 拥有最佳感恩清单的房间获胜。 星期三我们还会有感恩节大餐。 我们的家人可以来上学。

Thanksgiving is a lot of work. Your friend, Junie B., First Grader I closed my journal and thought about squash. "Bluck," I said out loud. "I hate squash. May did a frown. "Shush, Junie Jones! Can't you see that I am still writing?" she said. May is the girl who sits next to me. I am not thankful for her. Just then, my teacher Mr. Scary stood up at his desk. "Boys and girls, it's time to get started on our Thankful List for the school contest," he said. "Can everyone please put your journals away? "YES!" we shouted back. "YES! YES! YES!" Then all the children slammed our journals

感恩节要做很多工作。 你的朋友，茱妮·B，一年级学生我合上日记，想着壁球。 “布莱克，”我大声说。“我讨厌壁球。 梅皱了皱眉。“嘘，琼·琼斯！”你没看见我还在写吗？”她说。 梅就是坐在我旁边的那个女孩。 我不感激她。 就在那时，我的老师吓人先生站在他的桌子前。 “孩子们，是时候开始为学校的比赛列感恩名单了，”他说。 “大家能把日记收起来吗？” “是的！”我们喊道。“是啊!是的!是的!”然后所有的孩子都把我们的日记砸了

shut very happy. SLAM! SLAM! BAM! SLAM! BAM! SLAM! SLAM! BAM! Mr. Scary sucked in his cheeks at us. He made us open our journals again. And we had to shut them quietly. It was some sort of slamming lesson, I believe. Finally, he moved on. "Okay. Last night's homework was to write down some of the things that you are thankful for," he said. He picked up a piece of chalk. "Today I will start printing our Thankful List on the board," he said. "We will work on the list today and tomorrow. And then we will enter it in the school Thankful Contest." A boy named Roger raised his hand. "Do we get a prize if we win?" he asked. "I always try harder if there's a prize involved." Mr. Scary did a frown at him.

闭得很开心。大满贯!大满贯!砰!大满贯!砰!大满贯!大满贯!砰!吓人先生把脸颊缩了进去。 他让我们再次打开日记。 我们必须悄悄地关上它们。 我想这是某种重击课。 最后，他继续前进。“好吧。 昨晚的家庭作业是写下一些你感激的事情，”他说。 他拿起一支粉笔。 “今天我要开始把我们的感恩名单印在黑板上，”他说。 他说：“我们今天和明天将研究这份名单。 然后我们将把它拿去参加学校的感恩大赛。” 一个叫罗杰的男孩举起了手。 “如果我们赢了，会有奖品吗？”他问。 “如果有奖金，我总是会更努力。” 吓人先生朝他皱了皱眉。

"We're not doing this for a prize, Roger," he said. "We're doing this to celebrate the things we are thankful for." Roger tapped his fingers on his desk. "So is that a yes or a no on the prize?" he asked. Mr. Scary stood there a minute. Then, all of a sudden, a smile came on his face. We did not expect that. "Okay. Fine, Roger," he said. "I was going to let this be a surprise if we won. But yes. There is a prize for winning the contest." All of Room One perked up our ears. 'Cause who doesn't love prizes, of course! "What is it? What is it?" we called out. "What is the prize? Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!" Mr. Scary walked back and forth very thinking. He said he was really not supposed to tell us the surprise. But then ha! He did a wink!

他说：“罗杰，我们这么做不是为了奖品。” “我们这样做是为了庆祝我们所感谢的事情。” 罗杰用手指敲着桌子。 他问道：“那你是同意还是不同意这个奖？” 吓人先生在那儿站了一会儿。 然后，突然，他脸上露出了笑容。 我们没有预料到这一点。“好吧。 好吧，罗杰，”他说。“如果我们赢了，我会让这成为一个惊喜。 但,是的。赢得比赛还有奖品。” 一号房间的人都竖起了耳朵。 当然，谁不喜欢奖品呢！“什么事？” 怎么了？”我们喊道。 “奖品是什么？”告诉我们!告诉我们!告诉我们!”可怕的先生来回地走着，沉思着。 他说他真的不应该告诉我们这个惊喜。 但是后来呢！他眨了眨眼！
