3. Very Slumping

3/Very Slumping I walked home from the bus stop very slumping. Very slumping is when your shoulders are sad. And your head can't hold up that good. Grandma Miller was in the nursery. She baby-sits me and my baby brother in the afternoon. His name is Ollie. I love him a real lot. Except I wish he didn't live at my actual house. Grandma Miller was rocking him in the rocking chair. I tried to climb up there, too. Only Grandma said "Hold your horses" at me. "Yeah, only I need to rock very bad," I

我从公共汽车站走回家，全身瘫软。 当你的肩膀悲伤的时候，你会很消沉。 你的头可撑不住。 米勒奶奶在育儿室。 她在下午照顾我和我的小弟弟。 他的名字叫奥利。我真的很爱他。 除了我希望他不住在我的房子里。 米勒奶奶在摇椅上摇着他。 我也试着爬上去。 只有奶奶对我说“别着急”。 “是的，只是我非常需要摇滚，”我

explained. "On account of a mean boy is having a birthday party on Saturday. And he is inviting everyone in Room Nine. Only not me. I'm the only one who's not going." Grandma Miller did a sad face. "Children can be so cruel," she said. "Just wait till I get the baby to sleep. And then you and I will talk about it. Okay?" And so that's how come I crossed my arms. And I tapped my foot. And I waited and waited for that baby to go to sleep. Only his eyes kept on staying wide open. "Hold them closed with your fingers, Grandma," I told her. "Heavens, no!" she said. Then she kept right on rocking him. And so finally I got tired of waiting. And I

解释说。“因为周六有个坏男孩要开生日派对。 他邀请了9号房间的所有人。 只不过不是我。我是唯一不去的人。” 米勒奶奶愁眉苦脸。 “孩子们有时很残忍，”她说。 “等我把孩子哄睡着再说。 然后我们再谈。 没事吧?”这就是为什么我抱着双臂。 我敲了敲我的脚。我等了又等，等着孩子睡着。 只有他的眼睛一直睁得大大的。 “用手指把它们合上，奶奶。”我对她说。 “天哪，不!”她说。然后她继续摇他。 最后，我厌倦了等待。 和我

went to my room. And I crawled underneath my covers. I crawled way down to the bottom of my sheets. It is very muffly down there. You can say mean stuff. And no one can hear you. "Here is all the stuff I hate," I said. "First, I hate that meanie Jim. Then I hate clowns. And Old MacDonald had a farmer. Plus I hate rabbits. And burros. And ponies. "And guess what else? We didn't actually

去了我的房间。我爬进被子里。 我一直爬到床单的底部。 下面很闷。 你可以说刻薄的话。没有人能听到你说话。 “这些都是我讨厌的东西，”我说。 “首先，我讨厌那个刻薄的吉姆。 我讨厌小丑。老麦克唐纳有一个农民。 而且我讨厌兔子。和驴子。 和小马。“你猜还有什么? 实际上我们没有

need a baby at this house. Only no one even consulted me." Just then, I heard a knock on my door. "Junie B.? It's Grandma, honey. Ollie finally went to sleep." She came in and lifted up my covers. "I called your mother and told her what happened at school," she said. I peeked up at her. "And so can she fix it?" I asked. "Can I go to the birthday party now?" Grandma Miller held out her arms to me. She pulled me out of my covers. "Your mother is going to talk to you about it when she gets home," she said. "Meanwhile, why don't you and I have a little fun. Let's read a book, okay? What kind of story would you like to hear?" I thought and thought.

我们家需要个孩子。 只是没有人跟我商量。” 就在这时，我听到有人敲门。 “琼丝?是奶奶，亲爱的。 奥利终于睡着了。” 她进来掀开了我的被子。 “我打电话给你妈妈，告诉了她学校里发生的事，”她说。 我偷看了她一眼。“那么她能把它修好吗?”我问。 “我现在可以去参加生日聚会了吗?”米勒奶奶向我伸出双臂。 她把我从被窝里拉出来。 “你妈妈回家后会跟你谈这件事的，”她说。 “与此同时，你和我为什么不找点乐子呢? 我们读一本书，好吗?你想听什么样的故事?”我想啊想啊。

"I would like to hear a story about a little girl who doesn't get invited to a meanie boy's birthday. And so she sneaks to his house. And she lets a wild pony out of the barn. And then it stomples the boy into a flattie pancake. And all the children pour maple syrup on that guy. And they eat him for breakfast." Grandma Miller looked kind of sickish. "You've got to stop worrying about that boy's party. He's just trying to get your goat," she said. Just then my eyes got big and wide at her. "Goat? What goat, Grandma? Do I have a goat? Is it a surprise goat? Are you keeping it a secret at your house?" I jumped up and pulled her hand. "Let's go get it! Want to, Grandma? Let's go get my goat right now!"

“我想听一个小女孩的故事，她没有被邀请去参加一个坏男孩的生日聚会。 所以她偷偷溜到他家。 她把一匹野马从谷仓里放了出来。 然后把男孩踩成扁平的煎饼。 所有的孩子都往他身上倒枫糖浆。 他们把他当早餐吃了。” 米勒奶奶看上去有点不舒服。 “你不要再担心那个男孩的聚会了。 他只是想惹你生气，”她说。 就在这时，我瞪大了眼睛看着她。 “山羊吗?什么山羊，奶奶? 我有山羊吗?它是一只惊喜山羊吗? 你在家里保密吗?”我跳起来，拉着她的手。 “我们去拿吧!”想去吗，奶奶? 我们现在就去找我的山羊吧!”

Just then a great idea popped in my head. "HEY! I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING, GRANDMA! YOU AND ME CAN BRING MY GOAT TO MY HOUSE! AND THEN I CAN HAVE MY VERY OWN BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY! "I WILL CALL IT 'COME AND PET MY GOAT'! AND EVERYONE IN ROOM NINE WILL COME TO MY PARTY! AND THEY WON'T GO TO THAT MEANIE JIM'S!" All of a sudden, the front door opened. It was Mother! I runned to her speedy quick. "Mother! Mother! Guess what? Guess what? Me and Grandma Miller are getting my goat! And I am having my very own birthday party on Saturday! And all of Room Nine is going to be invited. Only not that Jim

就在这时，一个好主意突然出现在我的脑海里。 “嘿!我刚想到一件事，奶奶!你和我可以把我的山羊带到我家!然后我就可以在星期六过我自己的生日了!“我要叫它‘来摸摸我的山羊’!”九号房的每个人都要来参加我的派对!他们也不愿去那个卑鄙的吉姆家!”突然，前门开了。 是妈妈!我飞快地跑向她。 “妈妈!妈妈!你猜怎么着? 你猜怎么着?我和米勒奶奶惹毛我了!星期六我要举办我自己的生日派对!9号房间的所有人都会被邀请。 不仅如此，吉姆
