4 Ch4-My Head Almost Exploded

Chapter 4 My Head Almost Exploded "Is everybody ready to learn?" asked Ms. Todd. "Yes!" yelled all the girls. "No!" yelled all the boys. "All right!" yelled Ms. Todd. Ms. Todd is one of those teachers who is full of excitement all the time. She

“大家都准备好学习了吗?” 托德。“是的!”所有的女孩都喊道。 “不!”所有的男孩都喊道。 “好吧!”托德女士喊道。 托德老师是那种总是充满兴奋的老师。 她

never sits down. She runs around for no reason, clapping her hands, like my mom does when she drinks too much coffee. If you ask me, Ms. Todd should calm down. She's like one of those windup toy monkeys that plays the drums. Maybe after she has been a teacher for a few years, she'll

从不坐下。她无缘无故地跑来跑去，拍着手，就像我妈妈喝太多咖啡时那样。 要我说，托德女士应该冷静下来。 她就像一只上发条的玩具猴子会打鼓。 也许当了几年老师之后，她会

become normal and not so excited about teaching kids stuff anymore. "Let's start with reading!" said Ms. Toddy smiling her smiley face and clapping her hands and running around the class for no reason. "I love to read," said Andrea, who loves everything. "I'm going to write a children's book someday, and the main character will be named Andrea. Then I'll be famous!" "I love reading children's books," said Ms. Todd. "I read them all the time!" "Even when you're sleeping?" asked Ryan. "Even when you're driving?" asked Michael.

变得正常，不再对教孩子们东西那么兴奋。 “让我们从阅读开始吧!” 托迪面带微笑，拍拍手，毫无理由地在教室里跑来跑去。 “我喜欢读书，”安德烈说，她什么都喜欢。 “有一天，我打算写一本儿童读物，主角将被命名为安德里亚。 这样我就出名了!”“我喜欢读儿童读物。” 托德。“我一直在读这些书!”“即使在你睡觉的时候?”瑞恩问。 “即使在你开车的时候?”迈克尔问。

"Even when you're in the shower?" I asked. "Well, no, not then," Ms. Todd said. "So why did you say you read them all the time?" asked Michael. "It's just an expression," said Ms. Todd. "Is an expression the same thing as lying?" I asked. Ms. Todd stopped smiling her smiley face and wrote something down on that piece of paper again. I wished she

“即使在你洗澡的时候?”我问。 “嗯，不，那不是，”托德说。 “那你为什么说你一直在看呢?”迈克尔问。 “这只是一种表达。” 托德。“表情和撒谎是一回事吗?”我问。 托德女士停止了她的笑脸，又在那张纸上写了些什么。 我希望她

would stop doing that. Next she read to us for about a million hundred hours. She read a story about a girl and her dog. It was the most boring story in the history of the world. Nothing ever happened in that dumb story. I almost fell asleep, but then the girl's dog got hit by a car and the story got interesting. Some of the girls were crying. What a bunch of babies! After the dog died, Ms. Todd stopped reading the story. She taught us about the solar system and the explorers and Australia and Helen Keller and lots of other stuff, too. She taught us so much stuff that I had a headache.

会停止那样做。接下来，她给我们读了大约100万个小时。 她读了一个关于一个女孩和她的狗的故事。 这是世界历史上最无聊的故事。 那个愚蠢的故事里什么都没发生。 我几乎要睡着了，但后来那个女孩的狗被车撞了，故事变得有趣起来。 有些女孩在哭。 真是一群婴儿!那只狗死后。 托德不再读这个故事了。 她教我们关于太阳系、探险家、澳大利亚、海伦·凯勒和许多其他的东西。 她教了我们那么多东西，我都头疼了。

My friend Billy who lives around the corner told me that if you learn too much stuff too fast, your head will explode. I'm going to have to forget some of the old stuff I learned to make room for all the new stuff Ms. Todd taught us. I don't want my head to explode. Finally the lunch bell rang, and Ms. Todd had to stop teaching us stuff. Michael was the line leader as we walked to the vomitorium to eat. "Ms. Todd is a horrible teacher," I said. "All she does is make us learn stuff." "I miss Miss Daisy," Ryan said. "She never taught us anything." "I miss miss Miss Daisy," said Michael.

我的朋友比利住在街角，他告诉我，如果你学得太多太快，你的头会爆炸的。 我将不得不忘记一些我学过的旧东西，为所有的新东西腾出空间。 托德教我们的。我可不想我的头爆炸。 午餐铃终于响了。 托德不能再教我们了。 当我们走向食堂吃饭时，迈克尔是队伍的领队。 “托德老师真是个糟糕的老师，”我说。 “她所做的就是让我们学习东西。” “我想念黛西小姐，”瑞恩说。 “她什么都没教过我们。” “我想念黛西小姐，”迈克尔说。
