3 Ch3-How to Spell Read

Chapter 3 How to Spell Read Before school started, my mother told me that second grade was the most interesting grade because this was the year that I would be able to read chapter books all by myself. I already knew how to read, even though I had tried very hard not to learn.

开学前，我妈妈告诉我二年级是最有趣的年级，因为这一年我可以自己读章节书了。 我已经知道如何阅读，尽管我曾经非常努力地不去学习。

You see, my friend Billy told me that you really don't have to know how to read. Billy says that when you grow up and make lots of money, you can pay people to read for you. That sounded good to me. "I hate reading," I announced when Miss Daisy passed out some spelling worksheets. "Me too!" agreed Miss Daisy. "You do?" we all asked. "Yup," she said. "I can't read a word." "You can't?" "Nope." "You can't even spell the word read?" Michael Robinson asked.

你看，我的朋友比利告诉我，你真的不需要知道如何阅读。 比利说，当你长大了，赚了很多钱，你可以花钱请人为你读书。 听起来不错。“我讨厌读书，”当黛西小姐分发拼写练习册时，我宣布。 “我也是!”黛西小姐同意道。 “是吗?”我们都问。“是的，”她说。 “我一个字也看不懂。”“你不能?”“不。” “你连‘读’这个词都不会拼?”迈克尔·罗宾逊问。

"I don't have a clue," she said, scratching her head the same way she did when she told us she didn't know how to multiply four times four. "Just sound it out! Miss Daisy!" Andrea suggested. "R-e-e-d?" Miss Daisy said. "No!" we all shouted.

“我一点儿也不知道，”她一边说，一边抓挠着头，就像她告诉我们她不知道如何乘4乘4一样。 “听听看!”黛西小姐!”安德里亚。 “R-e-e-d ?”黛西小姐说。 “不!”我们都喊道。

"I give up," she said. "Do any of you know how to spell the word read?" "R-e-a-d," we all chanted. "Wow! I didn't know that!" marveled Miss Daisy. "You have taught me a lot today." "How did you get to teach second grade if you don't even know how to spell read?" asked Ryan. "Well, I figured that second graders don't know how to spell very well, so it wouldn't matter whether or not I could spell." "I know how to spell lots of hard words," Andrea Young announced. jmkfho. "Me too," everybody else said.

“我放弃了，”她说。“你们有人知道read这个词怎么拼吗?”“R-e-a-d，”我们齐声呼喊。 “哇!我不知道!”黛西小姐惊奇地说。 “你今天教会了我很多东西。” “如果你连‘读’这个词都不会拼写，你怎么教二年级的?”瑞恩问道。 “嗯，我想二年级的学生不太会拼写，所以我是否会拼写并不重要。” “我知道如何拼写很多难的单词，”安德里亚·杨宣布。 “我也是。”其他人都说。

"Really?" Miss Daisy said. "Like what?" Everybody started shouting out words and how to spell them, but Miss Daisy stopped us and made us take turns. She had each of us go up to the chalkboard and write three words we knew. I wrote tonight, writing and McDonald's. By the time we were done, the whole chalkboard was filled with words. There wasn't even any room left for more. "Wow!" Miss Daisy said. "You kids have taught me so much this morning. I'm really glad I decided to become a teacher."

“真的吗?”黛西小姐说。 “像什么?”每个人都开始大声喊出单词和拼写，但黛西小姐阻止了我们，让我们轮流喊。 她让我们每个人走到黑板前，写下三个我们认识的单词。 我今晚写作，写作和麦当劳。 当我们做完的时候，整个黑板都写满了字。 甚至没有多余的空间。 “哇!”黛西小姐说。“你们这些孩子今天早上教会了我很多东西。 我真的很高兴我决定成为一名教师。”
