4 Ch4-Are We There Yet？

Chapter 4 Are We There Yet? We hadn't even met him yet, but suddenly everybody on the bus was buzzing about the nude kid. "Some people don't believe in wearing clothes," said Andrea, who thinks she knows everything. "They're called nudists." "I call 'em freaks," said Ryan.

第4章我们到了吗? 我们甚至还没见过他，但突然间，公共汽车上的每个人都在议论那个裸体的孩子。 “有些人不相信穿衣服，”自认为无所不知的安德里亚说。 “他们被称为裸体主义者。”“我管他们叫怪物，”瑞恩说。

"My parents say we should respect and celebrate people's differences," Emily said. "Your parents are weird," I told her, "What's the big deal?" Andrea asked. "After all, we were born without clothing." "You were born without a brain," I couldn't resist adding. Anytime anyone says anything about being born, always say they were born without a brain. That's the first rule of being a kid. "I'm nude under my clothes," Ryan told us. "Thanks for sharing that with us," I told him. "Now I'm totally grossed out." Andrea said that nudists save a lot of

艾米丽说:“我父母说我们应该尊重和庆祝人们的差异。” “你的父母很奇怪，”我对她说，“有什么大不了的?”安德里亚问道。 “毕竟，我们生来就没有衣服穿。” “你生来就没有大脑，”我忍不住补充道。 无论什么时候，只要有人谈到出生，总是说他们生来就没有大脑。 这是当孩子的第一准则。 “我在衣服里是裸体的，”瑞恩告诉我们。 “谢谢你和我们分享，”我对他说。 “现在我觉得恶心透了。” 安德里亚说裸体主义者节省了很多

money because they don't have to buy clothes. But Michael said that nudists have to spend a lot of money because they always have to buy sunscreen. But Emily said that nudists save a lot of money because they don't have to do laundry. But Ryan said that nudists have to spend a lot of money to heat their

钱，因为他们不用买衣服。 但迈克尔说，裸体主义者不得不花很多钱，因为他们总是要买防晒霜。 但是艾米丽说裸体主义者省了很多钱，因为他们不用洗衣服。 但瑞安说，裸体主义者必须花很多钱来加热他们的

houses because they're so cold. "The nude kid probably doesn't even have a closet at home," I said, "because he doesn't have any clothes to put in it." "Do you think nude kids are allowed to wear hats?" asked Michael. "Zingy zip!" yelled Mrs. Kormel. Mrs. Kormel had pulled out a big map and she had it opened up on top of the steering wheel. She told us we had to be quiet while she figured out the directions. I bet it's hard to drive and look at a map at the same time. To make things even worse, it started raining. Mrs. Kormel put the windshield wipers on. All the girls started to sing,

房子，因为太冷了。 “那个裸体小孩家里可能连衣柜都没有，”我说，“因为他根本没有衣服可以放进去。” “你认为裸体的孩子可以戴帽子吗?”迈克尔问。 “拉闸!”科尔梅尔太太喊道。 科梅尔太太拿出一张大地图，把地图打开放在方向盘上。 她告诉我们在她指方向的时候要保持安静。 我敢说，一边开车一边看地图肯定很难。 更糟糕的是，天开始下雨了。 科梅尔太太打开了雨刷。 所有的女孩都开始唱歌，

"The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish, swish swish swish, swish swish swish!" "Zingy zip!" Mrs. Kormel yelled again. "I can't concentrate." We drove for a long time in the rain. It was hard to go so long without talking. "Are we there yet?" somebody asked. "No," said Mrs. Kormel.

“公共汽车上的雨刷嗖嗖、嗖嗖、嗖嗖、嗖嗖!”“极漂亮的zip !”科梅尔太太又大叫起来。 “我无法集中注意力。”我们在雨中开了很长时间的车。 这么长时间不说话是很困难的。 “我们到了吗?”有人问。 “不，”考梅尔太太说。

"Are we lost?" Emily asked. "Of course not," said Mrs. Kormel. "I just don't know where we are." "Oh no, we're going to miss Show and Share!" Andrea said to Emily, like she was all worried. "And I spent all weekend making my spelling flash cards." Ha-ha-ha! I spent all weekend playing football. Nah-nah-nah boo-boo on her! We were going to be late for school. It was great! I hoped Mrs. Kormel wouldn't find the right way to the nude kid's house for a while. Because right after Show and Share, we have math. And I hate math.

“我们迷路了吗?”艾米丽问。 “当然不是，”考梅尔太太说。 “我只是不知道我们在哪里。” “哦，不，我们要错过‘展示与分享’了!”安德里亚对艾米丽说，好像很担心。 “我整个周末都在做拼写卡片。” 哈哈哈!我整个周末都在踢足球。 不，不，不，不，她!我们上学要迟到了。 太棒了!我希望科梅尔太太暂时不会找到去那个裸体小孩家的路。 因为在展示和分享之后，我们有数学。 我讨厌数学。
