3. Being Brownie

3/Being Brownie Mrs. said I could have my mittens back at recess. I stared and stared at the clock. Then I tapped my fingers on my table. And I did loud breaths. Lucille tattletaled on me. "Junie B. keeps tapping her fingers and making loud breaths! And I can't even concentrate on my work!" she grouched. Mrs. came to my table. "Hello. How are you today?" I said kind of nervous. "I am fine. Except I don't actually have my mittens." She tapped her foot real fast. That was not a good sign, I think.

作为布朗尼老师，我可以在课间休息时拿回我的连指手套。 我盯着时钟看了又看。 然后我用手指敲了敲桌子。 我大声呼吸。露西尔打了我的小报告。 “朱妮·b一直在敲手指，大声喘气!我甚至不能集中精力工作!”她抱怨道。 夫人来到我的桌子旁。“你好。 你今天好吗?”我说有点紧张。 “我很好。只不过我没有戴手套。” 她用脚很快地敲着。 我认为这不是一个好兆头。

Only guess what? Just then, the bell rang for recess! "OH BOY!" I yelled. "OH BOY! OH BOY! 'CAUSE NOW I CAN HAVE MY MITTENS BACK! RIGHT, MRS.? RIGHT? RIGHT?" I zoomed to her desk and put them on my hands. Then I rubbed those softy things all over my cheeks. "It's good to be with you again," I whispered into their fur. After that, I put on my attractive winter jacket. And I skipped outside with my friends. Me and tattletale Lucille and that Grace play horses together at recess. I am Brownie. Lucille is Blackie. And that Grace is Yellowie.

你猜怎么着?就在这时，课铃响了!“哦,孩子!”我喊道。 “哦,男孩!哦,男孩!因为现在我可以拿回我的手套了!太太? 对吧?对吗?”我飞快地走到她的桌前，把它们戴在手上。 然后我把这些柔软的东西擦遍了脸颊。 “很高兴又和你们在一起了，”我对着他们的皮毛低声说。 之后，我穿上了我那件漂亮的冬季夹克。 我和朋友们跑到外面。 我和爱告密的露西尔还有那个格蕾丝在课间一起玩马。 我是布朗尼。露西尔是小黑。 那个格蕾丝就是黄佬。

"I'M YELLOWIE!" shouted that Grace. "I'M BLACKIE!" shouted Lucille. "I'M BROWNIE!" I shouted. Only just then, I looked at my mittens. I did a frown. 'Cause there was a little bit of a problem here, I think. "Yeah, only how can I even be Brownie? 'Cause my horse paws are black. And so I am two different colors, apparently." Lucille and that Grace did frowns, too. "Hmm," said that Grace. "Hmm," said Lucille. "Hmm," I said. Just then, that Grace clapped her hands together very excited. "I know, Junie B.! Today you and Lucille can trade! Today Lucille can be Brownie! And you can be

“我是黄种人!”那个格蕾丝喊道。 “我是黑鬼!”露西尔喊道。 “我是布朗尼!”我叫道。就在那时，我看了看我的连指手套。 我皱了皱眉。因为我觉得这里有点小问题。 “是啊，但我怎么能成为布朗尼呢?” 因为我的马爪是黑色的。 所以我显然是两种不同的颜色。” 露西尔和格蕾丝也皱着眉头。 “嗯，”格蕾丝说。“嗯，”露西尔说。 “嗯，”我说。就在这时，格蕾丝非常兴奋地拍着手。 “我知道，琼?今天你和露西尔可以交换了!今天露西尔可以成为布朗尼了!你可以

Blackie! And so that way your horse paws will be the right color!" Me and Lucille looked and looked at that girl. 'Cause what kind of crazy idea was that? I did a huffy breath. "Yeah, only how can I even be Blackie when I am already Brownie, Grace?" I said. "I have been Brownie for my whole entire career. You can't just go changing, you know." "Yeah, Grace. You can't just go changing," said Lucille. That Grace looked embarrassed at herself. "Oh yeah… What was I thinking?" she said very mumbling. After that, all of us sat down in the grass. And we tapped on our chins. We thinked and thinked and thinked. Then—all of a sudden—my whole face

黑人!这样你的马爪就会是正确的颜色!”我和露西尔看了又看那个女孩。 这是什么疯狂的想法? 我喘了口气。“是啊，只是我已经是布朗尼了，怎么还能是小黑鬼呢，格蕾丝?”我说。 “在我的整个职业生涯中，我都是布朗尼。 你知道，你不能就这么改变。” “是的,优雅。你不能就这么改变，”露西尔说。 格蕾丝看起来很尴尬。 “哦，是啊……我在想什么呢?” 在那之后，我们都坐在草地上。 我们拍了拍下巴。 我们想啊想啊想。 然后，突然，我的整个脸

lighted up. "Hey! I thought of it! I thought of it! I know 'zactly what to do!" I shouted. I jumped up. "Start again, Grace! Say your name again! Say that you are Yellowie!" That Grace looked curious at me. "I'm Yellowie," she said. I pointed to Lucille. "I'm Blackie," she said next. I spinned around real joyful. "I'M BROWNIE!" I shouted. "ONLY GUESS WHAT? YESTERDAY MY GRAMPA BROWNIE BOUGHT ME BLACK FURRY MITTENS! AND SO THAT IS HOW COME I AM TWO DIFFERENT COLORS, APPARENTLY!" After that, all of us did high fives. And we started playing horses.

点亮了。“嘿!我想到了!我想到了!我知道该怎么做!”我叫道。 我跳了起来。“重新开始，格蕾丝!”再说一遍你的名字!说你是黄佬!”格蕾丝好奇地看着我。 “我是黄佬，”她说。我指着露西尔。 “我是小黑。”她接着说。 我高兴地转了起来。 “我是布朗尼!”我叫道。“你猜怎么着?” 昨天我爷爷给我买了黑色毛茸茸的手套!显然，这就是为什么我有两种不同的颜色!”之后，我们都击掌庆祝。 我们开始玩马。

We galloped. And trotted. And snorted. And snuffled. Only too bad for me. 'Cause the sun kept on beating down on my horse head. And I got drippity inside my attractive winter jacket. "I am going to die from heat perspiration," I said. That's how come I trotted over to a tree. And I took off all my stuff. First I took off my attractive winter jacket. Then I took off my furry black mittens. And I piled them in a careful pile. After that, I galloped away to find my horse friends. And we played and played.

我们飞奔。和小跑。哼了一声。 和咽下。对我来说太糟糕了。 因为太阳一直照在我的马头上。 我在那件漂亮的冬季夹克里湿透了。 “我要中暑了。”我说。 这就是为什么我小跑到一棵树旁。 我把衣服都脱了。 首先，我脱下了我那件漂亮的冬季夹克。 然后我脱下我毛茸茸的黑色连指手套。 我小心翼翼地把它们堆在一起。 然后，我飞奔着去找我的马友们。 我们玩啊玩啊。
