7 Ch7-Circle of Friends

Chapter 7 Circle of Friends "I love math!" Ms. Todd said after recess, smiling her smiley face and clapping her hands and running around the class for no reason. Where does she get all the energy? "I love math too!" said Andrea.

第七章朋友圈“我爱数学!”Ms。 托德在课间休息后说，她面带笑容，拍拍手，在教室里毫无理由地跑来跑去。 她从哪来的能量? “我也喜欢数学!”安德里亚说。

"If you had ten chocolate ice cream cones," said Ms. Todd, "and you gave me five of them, how many chocolate ice-cream cones would you have left? A.J.?" "None," I said. "Because I would throw them all in the garbage. I like mint chip ice cream."

“如果你有十个巧克力甜筒，”她说。 托德:“你给了我五个，那你还剩几个巧克力冰淇淋甜筒?” 抗干扰?”“没有，”我说。“因为我会把它们都扔进垃圾桶。 我喜欢薄荷片冰淇淋。”

Ms. Todd wrote something on her piece of paper. Then she made us do addition and subtraction for about a million hundred hours. The worst part was, she made me be study buddies with Andrea. It was horrible. "Isn't math fun, A.J.?" asked Andrea. "Oh yes," I said, "and so is being attacked by an angry gorilla." Ms. Todd is just like Andrea. She loves school. She loves reading. She loves math. She loves everything. Ms. Todd and Andrea are like two peas in an iPod. "Let's draw pictures!" Ms. Todd said after math was over. "I love drawing pictures!"

托德女士在她的纸上写了些东西。 然后她让我们做了大约一百万个小时的加减法。 最糟糕的是，她让我和安德里亚做学习伙伴。 太可怕了。“数学不是很有趣吗，A.J.?”安德莉亚问。 “哦，是的，”我说，“被一只愤怒的大猩猩攻击也是如此。” 托德女士就像安德里亚一样。 她喜欢学校。她喜欢读书。 她喜欢数学。她什么都喜欢。 托德女士和安德里亚形影不离。 “我们一起画画吧!”Ms。 托德说数学结束后。 “我喜欢画画!”

"Do you hate anything?" I asked Ms. Todd. She thought about it for a minute. "I hate people who hate," Ms. Todd finally said. "I hate people who hate people who hate," said Ryan. "I hate people who hate people who hate people who hate," said Michael. "I hate people who—" I never got the chance to finish my sentence because Ms. Todd told us to be quiet and start drawing. Andrea drew a picture of her face with a butterfly on her nose. Emily drew a picture of flowers from all different countries

“你讨厌什么东西吗?”我问她。 托德。她想了一会儿。 “我讨厌讨厌别人的人。” 托德最后说。“我讨厌那些讨厌别人的人，”瑞安说。 “我讨厌那些讨厌别人的人，他们讨厌那些讨厌别人的人，”迈克尔说。 “我讨厌那些——”我还没来得及说完这句话。 托德让我们安静下来，开始画画。 安德里亚画了一张她的脸，鼻子上有一只蝴蝶。 艾米丽画了一幅来自不同国家的花的画

holding hands with each other. (What a dumbhead! Flowers don't even have hands.) I drew a picture of some alien spaceships attacking a school with laser beams. Then I drew this cool action figure named Striker Smith flying in on a jet plane and shooting the aliens until they were all dead. It was awesome. "That's quite violent, A.J.," Ms. Todd said when she walked around the class, looking at our pictures. Then she wrote something down on that dumb piece of paper of hers. What was her problem? Every time I said anything, she wrote something down on that dumb piece of paper. I

互相牵着手。 真是个笨蛋!花甚至没有手。)我画了一幅外星飞船用激光束攻击学校的画。 然后我画了这个很酷的动作人偶，名叫射手史密斯，他乘喷气式飞机飞进来，向外星人射击，直到他们全部死亡。 太棒了。“这太暴力了，aj。” 托德在教室里走来走去，看着我们的照片说。 然后她在她那张愚蠢的纸上写了些东西。 她有什么问题?每次我说什么，她就在那张破纸上写点什么。 我

couldn't take it anymore. "What are you writing on that piece of paper?" I asked. "Oh, you'll find out," Ms. Todd said. After we finished our pictures, Ms. Todd said the rain had stopped so we could go out to the playground to burn off some energy. "Can we play tag?" I asked. "Please please please please please?" "Tag can be a very violent game," Ms. Todd said. "Let's play circle of friends instead!" "What's that?" "It's a lot like tag," Ms. Todd explained, "except that when you tag people, they

我再也受不了了。“你在那张纸上写什么?”我问。 “哦，你会知道的。” 托德说。在我们拍完照片后，老师。 托德说雨已经停了，所以我们可以去操场消耗一些能量。 “我们能玩捉迷藏吗?”我问。 “求你了，求你了，求你了?”捉迷藏可能是一种非常暴力的游戏。 托德说。“我们还是玩朋友圈吧!”“那是什么?”“这很像捉人游戏。” 托德解释说，“除了当你给人贴上标签时，他们
