4 Ch4-The Emperor Has No Clothes

Chapter 4 The Emperor Has No Clothes It's really hard to concentrate on schoolwork when your teacher is dressed up like a giant bonbon. All I could think about was the candy I would be getting when we went trick-or-treating after school. My mouth was watering. But Miss Daisy was trying her best to teach us.

第四章皇帝没穿衣服当你的老师打扮得像个大糖果时，你真的很难集中精力学习。 我满脑子想的都是放学后去玩“不给糖就捣蛋”时我能得到的糖果。 我流口水了。但是黛西小姐在尽她最大的努力教我们。

"If you go trick-or-treating and they give out Kit Kats at five houses and Milky Ways at three houses and Hershey bars at seven houses, how many candy bars will you have altogether? A.J.?" "Is anybody giving out Snickers?" I asked. "That's irrelevant," said Miss Daisy. "No it's not," I told her. "An elephant is a big animal with a long trunk." Everybody laughed even though I didn't say anything funny. "I hate Snickers," said Neil the nude kid. "My favorite candy bar is Three Musketeers." "Let's try to stay on task, shall we?" said

“如果你去玩不给糖就捣蛋的游戏，他们在5家房子里发奇巧巧克力，在3家房子里发银河巧克力，在7家房子里发好时巧克力，你总共有多少块糖果?” 抗干扰?”“有人在发士力架吗?”我问。 “这无关紧要，”黛西小姐说。 “不，不是的，”我告诉她。 大象是一种长着长鼻子的大动物。 大家都笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。 “我讨厌士力架，”裸体小孩尼尔说。 “我最喜欢的糖果是三剑客。” “我们还是专心工作吧，好吗?

Miss Daisy. Teachers are always telling us to stay "on task." That means we have to talk about boring stuff instead of interesting stuff, like candy bars. "I like Twizzlers," said Ryan. "Twizzlers aren't candy bars," Michael said. "They're licorice." "Ugh! Licorice is yucky," said Neil the nude kid. "It gives candy a bad name!" We went on like that for a while. Nobody could agree on which candy bar was the best. After a while Miss Daisy gave up trying to teach anything. "All this math talk is making me hungry," she said. We were all excited to march around

黛西小姐。老师总是告诉我们要“专注于任务”。 这意味着我们必须谈论无聊的东西，而不是有趣的东西，比如糖果棒。 “我喜欢扭扭糖，”瑞恩说。 “扭扭糖不是糖果棒，”迈克尔说。 “他们甘草。”“哎!“甘草很难吃，”裸体小孩尼尔说。 “这会给糖果带来坏名声!”我们就这样继续了一段时间。 谁也说不出哪块糖果是最好的。 过了一段时间，黛西小姐放弃了教任何东西。 “所有这些关于数学的讨论都让我饿了，”她说。 我们都很兴奋

in our costumes, but Miss Daisy said it wasn't time yet. Finally, after a million hundred years, an announcement came over the loudspeaker. "It's time for the parade!" Mrs. Patty exclaimed. "Please bring all classes to the playground." "Yay!" everybody yelled. Miss Daisy told us to line up boy-girl-boy-girl-boy-girl. (I think she does that so each of us has to be next to somebody we hate.) I had to stand behind annoying Emily, the queen of crybabies. We marched in single file to the playground. The whole school was out there in their costumes.

穿着戏服，但是黛西小姐说时间还没到。 终于，过了一百万年，喇叭里传来了一则通告。 “游行的时间到了!”帕蒂太太叫道。 “请把所有班级都带到操场上。” “耶!”每个人都喊道。黛西小姐叫我们排成男-女-男-女-男-女。 (我认为她这样做是为了让我们每个人都必须站在我们讨厌的人旁边。)我不得不站在讨厌的爱哭女王艾米丽后面。 我们排成一列纵队向操场走去。 全校的人都穿着戏服出来了。

It was cool. Even the grown-ups were dressed up. Ms. Hannah, our art teacher, dressed up like a famous artist named Picasso. Miss Small, our gym teacher, dressed up like a famous baseball player named Babe Ruth. Mrs. Kormel, our bus driver, dressed up like a famous NASCAR racer named Jeff Gordon. Mrs. Roopy, our librarian, dressed up like a famous children's book author who I never heard of before. Authors are boring. A lot of the parents came out to see the parade. I saw my mom near the monkey bars. She waved and took a picture of me in my penguin costume. We marched all the way around the playground. I thought that would be the

很酷。就连大人们也盛装打扮起来。 我们的美术老师汉娜女士打扮得像一位名叫毕加索的著名艺术家。 我们的体育老师斯莫尔小姐打扮得像著名的棒球运动员贝比·鲁斯。 科梅尔太太，我们的巴士司机，打扮得像著名的纳斯卡赛车手杰夫·戈登。 我们的图书管理员鲁比太太打扮得像一位我以前从未听说过的著名童书作家。 作家很无聊。许多家长都出来看游行。 我看到我妈妈在猴架附近。 她挥了挥手，给我拍了一张穿着企鹅装的照片。 我们一直绕着操场游行。 我以为那是
