4 Ch4-Going on a Field Trip

Chapter 4 Going on a Field Trip I learned an important lesson in science class. If you mix raw sodium with water, your head will catch on fire. Mr. Docker wasn't in school for a few days after "the incident." We were worried about him. But finally the day before spring

我在科学课上学到了重要的一课。 如果你把生钠和水混合，你的头就会着火。 “事故”发生后，多克先生有几天没去学校。 我们都很担心他。 但终于在春天的前一天

vacation, Mr. Docker was back at school and we had science class. I almost didn't recognize him. He had a lot less hair. He looked more normal. Mr. Docker should have set his head on fire a long time ago, if you ask me. "Mr. Docker, where do bugs go in the winter?" Michael asked. "Some of them dig holes in the ground," said Mr. Docker. "Some go to sleep. Some die." "That's so sad!" said Emily. What a crybaby! "Can we pick our noses and look at the boogers under the microscope?" I asked. "Not today," said Mr. Docker. "Today

假期，多克先生回到学校，我们上科学课。 我几乎没认出他来。 他的头发少了很多。他看起来更正常了。 要我说，多克先生早就该自焚了。 “多克先生，冬天虫子都去哪儿了?”迈克尔问道。 “他们中的一些人在地上挖洞，”多克先生说。 有些人去睡觉了。一些死。” “太悲哀了!”艾米丽说。 多爱哭的孩子!“我们能挖鼻孔，在显微镜下观察鼻屎吗?”我问。 “今天不行，”多克先生说。 “今天

we're going on a field trip." "Hooray!" everybody shouted. Field trips are cool because we get to leave school. Any place that isn't school is better than school. "Where are we going on our field trip?" asked Andrea. "To a field, of course!" said Mr. Docker.

我们要去实地考察。” “万岁!”每个人都喊道。 实地考察很酷，因为我们可以离开学校。 任何不是学校的地方都比学校好。 “我们要去哪里实地考察?”安德里亚问。 “当然是到田里去!”多克先生说。

"That's why it's called a field trip." "Booooo!" I said. "Fields are boring. We should go someplace cool, like a skate park." We had to walk a million hundred miles to the field behind the school. Then we had to walk around some more in the field. To Mr. Docker, everything is science. Every five seconds he would stop and tell us the name of some tree. He picked up leaves and showed them to us. He threw a rock into the pond and told us about the ripples in the water. We watched the birds and smelled the flowers. The best part was when Mr. Docker let

“这就是为什么它被称为实地考察。” “Booooo !”我说。“田野很无聊。 我们应该去个凉快点的地方，比如滑板公园。” 我们不得不走一百万英里的路到学校后面的那块地。 然后我们不得不在田野里再走几圈。 对多克先生来说，一切都是科学。 每隔五秒钟，他就会停下来告诉我们一些树的名字。 他捡起树叶给我们看。 他把一块石头扔进池塘，给我们讲了水里的涟漪。 我们看鸟，闻花。 最精彩的部分是多克先生让

us take a rest and have some pretzels he brought along. We all sat down on a big log. To Mr. Docker, even a dumb log is science. "Part of this wood is rotted away," he said. "Let's see what's inside." He pulled off a piece of the log and we saw the most amazing thing in the history of the world— bugs were crawling all over. "Eeeeek!" shouted the girls. They got off the log and started screaming their heads off. "Kill them!" shouted the boys. We grabbed sticks and started hitting the log. "Don't be afraid," Mr. Docker said "Bugs are our friends."

我们休息一下，吃点他带来的椒盐脆饼。 我们都坐在一根大圆木上。 对多克先生来说，即使是愚蠢的日志也是科学。 “这些木头有一部分已经腐烂了，”他说。 “让我们看看里面是什么。” 他扯下一段原木，我们看到了世界历史上最令人惊奇的事情——虫子爬得到处都是。 “eeeek!”女孩们喊道。 他们从圆木上下来，开始拼命尖叫。 “杀了他们!”孩子们喊道。 我们拿起木棍，开始敲打木头。 “别害怕，”多克先生说，“臭虫是我们的朋友。”

"Oh yeah?" said Ryan. "Well, one of our friends is on Emily." It was true. This big, black, disgusting thing was crawling up Emily's arm. "Eeeeek!" she screamed, and then she went running around in circles. It was hilarious. What a crybaby! Mr. Docker got down on his hands and knees and started telling us about the little critters on the log. Nobody wanted to touch them. "Relax," Mr. Docker said, and he actually picked up some gross bug with his fingers. "It's just a beetle grub." And then he did the most amazing thing in the history of the world. Mr.

“哦，是吗?”瑞恩说。“嗯，我们的一个朋友在追艾米丽。” 这是真的。这个又大又黑又恶心的东西爬上了艾米丽的胳膊。 “eeeek!”她尖叫着，然后开始绕着圈子跑。 太搞笑了。真是个爱哭鬼!多克先生跪在地上，开始给我们讲木头上的小动物。 没人想碰它们。 “放轻松，”多克先生说，他的手指真的捡起了一只恶心的虫子。 “这只是一个甲虫蛆。” 然后他做了世界历史上最惊人的事情。 先生。
