6 Ch6-Good News？

Chapter 6 Good News? Mr. Klutz's office is really cool. He has a snowboarding poster on the wall and a punching bag in the corner with a face painted on it. I wasn't too worried. The last time I got sent to the principal's office for being bad, Mr. Klutz gave me a candy bar. It was the greatest day of my life.

第六章好消息?克鲁茨先生的办公室真的很酷。 他在墙上挂了一张滑雪板的海报，角落里放了一个画着人脸的沙袋。 我不太担心。上次我因为坏孩子被送到校长办公室时，克鲁茨先生给了我一块糖果。 那是我一生中最美好的一天。

When I opened his door, Mr. Klutz wasn't sitting at his desk like a normal principal. He was hanging upside down from a bar attached to the ceiling. He had on boots that were attached to the

当我打开他的门时，克鲁茨先生并不像普通校长那样坐在办公桌前。 他倒挂在一根与天花板相连的栏杆上。 他穿着系在

bar. He says that when the blood rushes to his head, it helps him think. Mr. Klutz is nuts. "Come in, A.J.," he said as he pulled himself out of the boots and fell into his chair. "I'm sorry I punched Neil the nude kid," I said. "I won't do it again!" "I understand, A.J.," Mr. Klutz said. "I was a boy once." "Just once?" I asked. "I'm a boy all the time." Mr. Klutz laughed even though I didn't say anything funny. "A.J., I have some good news for you," Mr. Klutz said.

酒吧。他说，当血液涌向他的头部时，有助于他思考。 克鲁茨先生是个疯子。“进来吧，a.j.。”他一边说一边脱下靴子，跌坐在椅子上。 “对不起，我打了那个裸体小孩尼尔，”我说。 “我不会再这么做了!”“我理解，aj，”克鲁茨说。 “我曾经是个男孩。”“只有一次?”我问。 “我一直是个男孩。”尽管我没说什么好笑的话，克鲁茨先生还是笑了。 “aj，我有一些好消息要告诉你，”克鲁茨说。

"You're going to give me a candy bar?" I guessed. "Oh, better than that," Mr. Klutz said. "I'm happy to inform you that you have been selected for the gifted and talented program!" "What?!" "Remember that test the whole school took a few weeks ago?" he said. "Well, you scored very high. We think you are gifted and talented. Congratulations, A.J.!" Gifted and talented? I don't

“你要给我一块糖果吗?”我猜到了。 “哦，比那好，”克鲁茨说。 “我很高兴地通知你，你已经入选了天才项目!”“什么? !”“还记得几个星期前全校参加的考试吗?”他说。 “嗯，你得分很高。 我们认为你很有天赋。 祝贺你,A.J. !”天赋异禀? 我不

want to be gifted and talented! Dorks and dweebs like Andrea are gifted and talented. Not cool kids like me! I just wanted to be normal. I just wanted a candy bar. "There must have been a mistake," I said. "Can I take the test again? I'm sure I'll do a lot worse." Mr. Klutz laughed again, even though I didn't say anything funny. "I'm sure you're anxious to get back to class and tell everyone the good news," he said. No I wasn't. If the kids in class found out I was gifted and talented, they'd think I was a dork like Andrea. What could I do? As I walked down the hall back to class, I thought of my options:

想要有天赋和才能!像安德里亚这样的呆子很有天赋。 不是像我这样的酷孩子!我只是想做个正常人。 我只是想要一个糖果棒。 “一定是搞错了，”我说。 “我可以再考一次吗?” 我敢肯定我会做得更糟。” 克鲁茨先生又笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。 他说:“我相信你一定迫不及待地想回到教室，告诉大家这个好消息。” 不，我没有。如果班上的孩子发现我很有天赋，他们会认为我像安德里亚一样是个笨蛋。 我该怎么办呢?当我沿着走廊走回教室时，我考虑了我的选择:

1. I could change my name and wear a fake nose and glasses so nobody would know who I was. 2. I could keep a paper bag over my head for the rest of my life. 3. I could go live with the penguins in Antarctica, Penguins are cool. 4. I could just keep my mouth shut and hope nobody ever found out I was gifted and talented.

1. 我可以改名，戴上假鼻子和假眼镜，这样就没人知道我是谁了。 2. 我这辈子都可以在头上套个纸袋。 3.我可以去南极洲和企鹅住在一起，企鹅很酷。 4. 我可以闭上嘴，希望没有人发现我有天赋和才华。
