7 Ch7-The Truth About Mr. Docker

Chapter 7 The Truth About Mr. Docker "Mr. Docker, if I weigh sixty pounds," Michael asked when we got to the science room, "how much would I weigh on the moon?" "About ten pounds," said Mr. Docker, who knows everything. "My mother should go to the moon," I

第七章关于多克先生的真相 “多克，如果我重60磅，”我们到达科学教室时迈克尔问，“我在月球上有多重?”“大约十英镑，”多克先生说，他什么都知道。 “我妈妈应该去月球，”我说

said. "She's always trying to lose weight." "Mr. Docker, when I smell something really bad," asked Ryan, "is that yucky thing inside my nose?" "Well, yes, tiny particles of it," said Mr. Docker. "The air carries dust, chemicals, and even animals! Some of that clings to the hairs of your nose." "Gross!" Just having hair in your nose is disgusting! Not to mention all that other stuff. "No more questions today," Mr. Docker said "I want to show you something." He had a big pot on his desk, and smoke was coming out of it.

说。“她一直在努力减肥。” “多克先生，当我闻到非常难闻的气味时，”瑞安问，“那个恶心的东西在我鼻子里吗?”“嗯，是的，它的微小颗粒，”多克先生说。 “空气携带着灰尘、化学物质，甚至动物!”有些会粘在你的鼻毛上。” “恶心!”鼻子里有毛就很恶心!更别提其他的事了。 “今天没有问题了，”多克先生说，“我想给你看样东西。” 他的桌子上有一个大壶，烟从壶里冒出来。

"What's that?" Andrea asked. "Liquid nitrogen," said Mr. Docker. "It's a gas that has been turned into a very cold liquid. Now don't try this at home, kids." He took a long rose and dipped it in the pot. Then he took it out and hit the rose against the chalkboard. The rose petals cracked off like they were potato chips! "Cool!" we all said "It's so cool, it's three hundred fifty degrees below zero," Mr. Docker said. Then he blew up a balloon and dipped it in the liquid nitrogen. When he took it out, it was tiny. "Cold air makes things smaller," said

“那是什么?”安德里亚问道。 “液氮，”多克先生说。 “它是一种气体，已经变成了非常冷的液体。 孩子们，别在家里这么做。” 他拿起一朵长长的玫瑰，把它浸在锅里。 然后他把它拿出来，把玫瑰砸在黑板上。 玫瑰花瓣像薯片一样裂开了!“太酷了!”我们都说，“太酷了，零下350度，”多克先生说。 然后他吹起一个气球，把它浸在液氮里。 当他把它拿出来的时候，它很小。 “冷空气使物体变小，”他说

Mr. Docker. "Now watch this." He took a piece of wood out of his desk drawer. There was a nail sticking out of it. Then he took a banana and held it in the liquid nitrogen for about a minute. When he took it out, he started whacking the nail into the piece of wood with the banana! Cool! I never saw anybody hammer in a nail with a banana before.

码头工人先生。“现在看这个。” 他从抽屉里拿出一块木头。 上面有一根钉子伸出来。 然后他拿起一根香蕉，把它放在液氮中大约一分钟。 当他把钉子拿出来的时候，他开始用香蕉把钉子敲进木头里!太酷了!我从没见过有人用香蕉把钉子钉进去。

After science we went to the vomitorium for lunch. Usually I shoot straw wrappers at Andrea and her annoying friends at the next table. But I had to be nice to her because I didn't want her telling everybody what A.J. stands for. Andrea and Emily came over to our table. "Is anyone sitting here?" Andrea asked. Usually I would say something obnoxious like "The Invisible Man is sitting here, so get lost." But I didn't. "You can sit there," I said. Michael and Ryan giggled and made kissy faces. Ryan gave me his cupcake and I gave him my asparagus. Ryan will eat anything.

科学课后，我们去体育馆吃午饭。 通常我都会朝安德里亚和她邻桌的讨厌朋友们扔稻草包装纸。 但我必须对她好点因为我不想让她告诉别人aj 代表。安德里亚和艾米丽走到我们桌边。 “这里有人坐吗?”安德里亚问道。 通常我会说一些令人讨厌的话，比如“看不见的人坐在这里，所以走开。” 但我没有。“你可以坐在那儿，”我说。 迈克尔和瑞恩咯咯地笑着，做着亲吻的鬼脸。 瑞安把他的小蛋糕给了我，我把芦笋给了他。 瑞安什么都吃。

"I wonder what Mr. Docker is eating," Michael said. "Probably spiders." "Yeah," Ryan said, "I bet he's sprinkling them on his cereal." "That's crazy," I said. "Nobody eats cereal for lunch." "Something tells me that if you sprinkle bugs on your food," said Andrea, "you don't care which meal it is." "Mr. Docker sure is weird." Emily said "Maybe he's not a science teacher at all," I said. "Did you ever think of that?" "What do you mean?" asked Emily. "Maybe he's just pretending to be a science teacher," I said. "Yeah," said Ryan. "Maybe he's a mad

“我想知道多克先生在吃什么，”迈克尔说。 “可能蜘蛛。”“是啊，”瑞恩说，“我敢打赌他会把它们撒在麦片粥上。” “这太疯狂了，”我说。“没人午餐吃麦片。” “有些东西告诉我，如果你把虫子撒在食物上，”安德烈说，“你就不在乎那是哪顿饭了。” “多克先生确实很奇怪。” 艾米丽说:“也许他根本就不是科学老师。”我说。 “你想过吗?”“你是什么意思?”爱米丽问。 “也许他只是假装自己是一名科学老师，”我说。 “是的，”瑞恩说。“也许他是个疯子
