5 Ch5-I Rule the School!

Chapter 5 "I Rule the School!" We marched around the playground for about a million hundred hours. Finally the dumb parade was over and we could go home. Or at least I thought we could go home, First we all had to go back inside the school and sit in the all-purpose room.

第五章“我统治学校!”我们绕着操场游行了大约100万个小时。 愚蠢的游行终于结束了，我们可以回家了。 或者至少我想我们可以回家，首先我们必须回到学校里，坐在多功能室里。

There was a fancy chair up on the stage. It was like one of those chairs you see in a palace. When all the classes were seated, music started playing and some tall guy came into the all-purpose room dressed up like a king. He was wearing a gold cape, and he was holding a big sword. It was Mr. Klutz, our principal! Even though he was wearing a crown on his head, I knew it was him because he is completely bald. I mean completely. "Off with their heads!" Mr. Klutz shouted as he marched down the center aisle. "Let them eat cake!" Miss Daisy told us that, in the old days,

舞台上有一把别致的椅子。 就像你在宫殿里看到的那种椅子。 当所有的班级都坐好后，音乐响起来了，一个高个子男人打扮得像个国王一样走进了多功能教室。 他披着金斗篷，手里拿着一把大剑。 是克鲁茨先生，我们的校长!尽管他头上戴着一顶王冠，但我知道那是他，因为他完全秃顶了。 我是说完全。“砍掉他们的头!”克鲁茨一边沿着中间的过道走去，一边喊道。 “让他们吃蛋糕吧!”黛西小姐告诉我们，在过去，

kings were constantly chopping off people's heads and making them eat cake. That must have been a cool time to live. I like to eat cake, but I don't think I would like the chopping-off-your-head part very much.

国王们经常砍下人们的头，让他们吃蛋糕。 那一定是一个很酷的时代。 我喜欢吃蛋糕，但我想我不太喜欢砍掉你脑袋的那部分。

"I rule the school," Mr. Klutz announced as he sat in the fancy chair. "Quiet down or you will be thrown in the dungeon in the basement." That was a complete lie. Everybody knows the dungeon is on the third floor. "Cool costume, Mr. Klutz!" some kid yelled. "Silence!" Mr. Klutz hollered. "I know not this Klutz person of whom you speak. I am King Louis the Fourteenth of France." "Why are you dressed up like a king?" Ryan asked. "As king," he replied, "I need not

“我统治着学校，”克鲁茨坐在那把漂亮的椅子上宣布。 “安静点，不然我就把你扔到地下室的地牢里去。” 那完全是谎话。大家都知道地牢在三楼。 “酷炫的服装，克鲁茨先生!”一个孩子喊道。 “安静!”克鲁兹大声喊道。 “我不认识你所说的那个笨手笨脚的人。 我是法国国王路易十四。” “你为什么穿得像个国王?”瑞恩问道。 “作为国王，”他回答说，“我不需要

worry about parent-teacher conferences and behavior problems and head lice and bus schedules and test scores. I am all powerful. What I say goes." Mr. Klutz was talking just like a real king. It was cool. After he finished acting all kinglike, he talked to us about Halloween safety. He told us to have fun trick-or-treating, but to look both ways before we crossed the street. He said we shouldn't go inside any strange houses, and we shouldn't eat any candy that isn't wrapped up. "What should we do if we come to a house and they don't give us any candy?"

担心家长会、行为问题、头虱、公交时刻表和考试成绩。 我是全能的。我说什么就说什么。” 克鲁茨先生说话就像一个真正的国王。 很酷。在他表现得像个国王之后，他给我们讲了万圣节的安全问题。 他让我们玩“不给糖就捣蛋”的游戏，但在过马路之前要向两边看看。 他说我们不应该进入任何陌生的房子，我们不应该吃任何没有包装的糖果。 “如果我们来到一户人家，他们不给我们糖果，我们该怎么办?”

asked one of the third graders. "Off with their heads!" said Mr. Klutz. "What if some kids don't get any candy?" asked one of the first graders. "Let them eat cake!" Mr. Klutz enjoyed being king a little too much, if you ask me. I couldn't wait to get out of school because, well, I can't wait to get out of school every day. But this day was special because we would be going trick-or-treating and getting candy. Finally the bell rang and we got out of jail... I mean, school. Everybody poured out the front door. "Free at last!" Michael shouted.

一个三年级学生问。 “砍掉他们的头!”克鲁茨说。 “如果有些孩子没有得到糖果怎么办?”一个一年级学生问道。 “让他们吃蛋糕吧!”要我说，克鲁茨先生太喜欢当国王了。 我迫不及待地想离开学校，因为，我每天都迫不及待地想离开学校。 但这一天是特别的，因为我们要去玩“不给糖就捣蛋”，并得到糖果。 最后，铃声响了，我们从监狱里出来了。 我是说，学校。每个人都从前门涌出。 “终于自由了!”迈克尔喊道。
