6. Daydreaming

6/Daydreaming Mrs. took attendance. Attendance is when you say, I'm here. Except if you're not here, you have to be quiet. Also we said, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. That is called opening ceremonies, I think. After that, we sat down. And Mrs. passed out our workbooks. She told us the pages to turn to. It was work about different kinds of shapes. Like circles. And squares. And triankles. I am a breeze at that stuff. Only I couldn't even concentrate very good. On account of I kept daydreaming

夫人出席了会议。 出勤就是你说我来了。 除非你不在这里，否则你必须保持安静。 我们还说，我宣誓效忠美利坚合众国国旗。 我想那叫开幕式吧。 之后，我们坐了下来。老师发了我们的练习本。 她告诉我们该翻哪几页。 那是关于不同形状的作品。 像圆圈。和广场。 和triankles。我对那东西一窍不通。 只是我甚至不能很好地集中注意力。 因为我一直在做白日梦

about that birthday party. Daydreaming is just like night dreaming. Only it's not night. And you're not asleep. And you're not dreaming. I kept on thinking about how everybody was going to that party. Only not me. I was the only one. In all of Room Nine. I wish Lucille and Grace weren't going, too, I thought to just myself. 'Cause that would be nice sports of them. After a while, I tapped on Lucille. "You are my bestest good friend," I told her. Lucille smiled at me. "You are my bestest good friend, too," she

关于那个生日聚会。 白日做梦就像做梦一样。 只是现在不是晚上。而且你没有睡着。 你不是在做梦。我一直在想大家会怎样去参加那个聚会。 只不过不是我。我是唯一一个。 在9号房间。我暗自想，但愿露西尔和格蕾丝不要也去。 因为这对他们来说是很好的运动。 过了一会儿，我敲了敲露西尔。 “你是我最好的朋友，”我告诉她。 露西尔对我笑了笑。“你也是我最好的朋友，”她说

said. I touched her new dress. "You look very precious today," I said. Lucille fluffed herself. "Thank you. You look very precious today, too," she said back. I touched her fingernails with polish on them. "I wish you and me could be twins," I said. "Me, too. I wish you and me could be twins, too," she said. Just then, my whole face got happy. "Lucille! Lucille! I just thought of something! You and me can pretend we are twins! And we can do everything just the same! And so on Saturday you can come to my house. And I will put nail polish on my nails, just like you! And you will stay home from that birthday party, just like me!"

说。我摸了摸她的新衣服。 “你今天看起来很可爱，”我说。 露西尔抖了抖自己。“谢谢。 你今天看起来也很漂亮。”她回答说。 我摸了摸她的指甲油。 “我希望你和我是双胞胎，”我说。 “我也是。我希望你和我也能是双胞胎，”她说。 就在那时，我的整个脸都变得高兴起来。 “露西尔!露西尔!我刚想到一件事!你和我可以假装我们是双胞胎!我们可以做同样的事情!所以星期六你可以来我家。 我会在指甲上涂指甲油，就像你一样!你要像我一样，待在家里不参加生日聚会!”

Lucille didn't say anything back. I tapped on her. "How come you're not talking, twin?" I said. "How come you're not saying anything back?" "'Cause I want to go to the party, that's why," said Lucille. I did a huffy breath at her. "Yes, Lucille. I know you want to go to the party. But now you and me are twins. And twins have to do everything just the same. And so if I don't go to the party, then you can't go to the party, too. On account of that is the twin rules." "No, it's not," said Lucille. "My cousins are twins. And one is a boy. And one is a girl. And they don't do anything alike." I jumped up from my chair. "Yeah, only that is not the kind of twin I

露西尔什么也没说。 我轻拍了她一下。“你怎么不说话，双胞胎?”我说。 “你怎么什么也不回呢?”“因为我想去参加晚会，这就是原因，”露西尔说。 我朝她吹了口气。 “是的,露西尔。我知道你想去参加派对。 但现在你和我是双胞胎。 双胞胎做什么都一样。 所以如果我不去参加派对，那你也不能去。 这就是孪生法则。” “不，不是，”露西尔说。 “我的表兄弟是双胞胎。一个是男孩。 一个是女孩。他们做的事情完全不一样。” 我从椅子上跳了起来。 “是啊，只不过那不是双胞胎I

want to be, madam!" I yelled. Mrs. snapped her loud fingers at me. "Sit down!" she hollered. Just then, that Jim I hate turned around in his chair. And he laughed real mean at me. 'Cause I was in trouble. "Turn around your fatty head!" I said. Only he didn't turn it around. And so that's how come I had to run to his table. And I had to turn it around for him. "JUNIE B. JONES!" shouted Mrs. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" "I am turning around his fatty head," I explained.

我想成为，夫人!”我喊道。 太太用响亮的手指指着我。 “坐下!”她喊道。就在这时，我讨厌的那个吉姆在椅子上转过身来。 他还刻薄地嘲笑我。 因为我有麻烦了。“把你的肥脑袋转过来!”我说。 只是他没有扭转局面。 这就是为什么我必须跑到他的桌子旁。 我得帮他扭转局面。 “琼·b·琼斯!”“你在干什么?”“我正在把他的肥脑袋转过来，”我解释道。

Mrs. hurried to where I was. Then she quick took my arm. And she marched me into the hall. She pointed to Principal's office. "Go!" she said real angry. I did a gulp. "Yeah, only I'm not actually supposed to go there anymore," I said. "'Cause me and Mother had a talk about it. And she said for me not to get sent there again." Mrs.'s face got red as a tomato. She started counting numbers.

太太急忙赶到我所在的地方。 然后她迅速抓住我的胳膊。 她把我推进大厅。 她指着校长办公室。 “走!”她生气地说。 我喝了一大口。“是的，只是我不应该再去那里了，”我说。 “因为我和妈妈谈过这件事。 她说不要再把我送到那里去了。” 夫人的脸红得像个西红柿。 她开始数数字。
