11 Ch11-We Finally Meet the Nude Kid

Chapter 11 We Finally Meet the Nude Kid The bus turned a corner, and we saw the big sign— ELLA MENTRY SCHOOL. "We're there yet!" announced Mrs. Kormel. "Yippee!" yelled all the girls. "Boo!" yelled all the boys. Mrs. Kormel pulled the bus up to the curb, and Mr. Klutz came running over.

公共汽车拐了个弯，我们看到了一个大招牌——艾拉·门特里学校。 “我们还没到呢!”考梅尔太太宣布。 “耶!”所有的女孩都叫了起来。 “嘘!”所有的男孩都叫了起来。 科梅尔太太把车停在路边，克鲁茨先生跑了过来。

"Bingle boo!" he said. "What—" But he never got the chance to finish his sentence because, at that moment, the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. Mrs. Kormel must have leaned against the magic STOP sign button by accident. Because the magic STOP sign on the side of the bus swung out at the exact same time as Mr. Klutz arrived. The STOP sign smacked

“嘭!”他说。“什么——”但他还没来得及说完这句话，因为就在那一刻，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 考梅尔太太一定是不小心靠在了神奇的“停止”按钮上。 因为在克鲁茨先生到达的同时，巴士一侧神奇的“停车”标志也突然出现了。 “停止”标志发出了响声

Mr. Klutz on the side of his bald head! He fell down! It was a real Kodak moment. Those STOP signs are dangerous! We all rushed off the bus to see if Mr. Klutz was okay. He stood up slowly. He looked like he'd been in a fight, or he'd drunk too much beer. "W-what happened?" he asked. "The STOP sign hit you in the head," said Mrs. Kormel. "I'm so sorry." "No, I mean why were you so late?" asked Mr. Klutz. Everybody started telling Mr. Klutz what happened. "We had a flat tire!" "We got kidnapped and drove to the North Pole!"

笨手笨脚先生的光头!他摔倒了!这是一个真正的柯达时刻。 那些停车标志很危险!我们都冲下车去看克鲁茨先生是否还好。 他慢慢地站了起来。他看起来像是刚打过架，或者喝了太多啤酒。 “发生什么事了?” “停车标志击中了你的头，”科尔梅尔太太说。 “我很抱歉。”“不，我是说你为什么迟到这么久?” 每个人都开始告诉克鲁茨先生发生了什么。 “我们的轮胎漏气了!”“我们被绑架了，然后开车去了北极!”

"We went to the nude kid's house!" "A.J. threw a doll out the window!" "Ryan ate his seat cushion!" "We got lost in the rainforest!" "We pushed the bus out of a ditch!" "We had a funeral for Striker Smith's head!" "Well, I'm just glad you're all safe!" said Mr. Klutz. "Did we miss the big spelling test?" asked Andrea. "Oh, your teacher Miss Daisy was out sick today," said Mr. Klutz. "So your class had a substitute teacher named Ms. Todd. You'll have your spelling test tomorrow." "Yippee!" yelled all the girls. "Boo!" yelled all the boys.

“我们去了那个裸体小孩的家!”“A.J. 把娃娃扔出窗外了!”“瑞恩吃了他的坐垫!”“我们在雨林里迷路了!”“我们把公共汽车推出了沟渠!”“我们为射手史密斯的头举行了葬礼!”“我很高兴你们都平安无事!”克鲁茨先生说。 “我们错过了重要的拼写测试吗?”安德里亚问。 “哦，你的老师黛西小姐今天请病假了，”克鲁茨先生说。 “所以你们班有一位代课老师，名叫史密斯女士。 托德。你明天要参加拼写考试。” “耶!”所有的女孩都叫了起来。 “嘘!”所有的男孩都叫了起来。

While we were yelling, the school bell rang. The front door opened, and kids started pouring out. "It's three o'clock!" said Mr. Klutz. "Everybody back on the bus. It's time to go home." "Home?" said Andrea. "But we just got here!" "Bix blattinger!" yelled Mrs. Kormel.

就在我们大喊大叫的时候，上课铃响了。 前门开了，孩子们蜂拥而出。 “三点了!”克鲁茨先生说。 “所有人都回到车上。 该回家了。”“回家?”安德烈说。 “可我们才刚到这儿呀!”“比克斯·布拉廷格!”科尔梅尔太太喊道。

"Hey, wait a minute," I said to Mr. Klutz. "Where's the nude kid?" "Nude kid?" said Mr. Klutz. "What are you talking about, A.J.?" "You know," I said, "the kid we were going to pick up before we got lost." "Ohhhhh!" said Mr. Klutz. "You mean the new kid. He's not nude. He's new. Here he comes now." This kid came over to the bus. He looked pretty normal. He even had clothes on. "What's your name?" Ryan asked him. "Neil." "Really?" Michael asked. "Yeah, my name is Neil Crouch."

“嘿，等一下，”我对克鲁茨先生说。 “那个裸体小孩在哪儿?”“裸体小孩?”克鲁兹说。 “你在说什么，A.J.?”“你知道的，”我说，“就是我们迷路之前要去接的那个孩子。” “哦，”克鲁茨先生说。“你是说那个新来的孩子。 他不是裸体的。他的新。他来了。” 有个孩子走到巴士旁。 他看起来很正常。他甚至还穿着衣服。 “你叫什么名字?”瑞恩问他。 “尼尔。”“真的吗?”迈克尔问道。 “是的，我叫尼尔·克劳奇。”
