5 Ch5-Learning How to Speak Spanish

Chapter 5 Learning How to Speak Spanish A few days later, we were in the language lab and Miss Holly was telling us all about Spain. It's a country in Europe, and it's the whole way across the Atlantic Ocean. Miss Holly played her guitar, sang, tapdanced, and told us all kinds of useless information about Spain. Did you know

几天后，我们在语言实验室里，霍莉小姐正在给我们讲有关西班牙的一切。 它是欧洲的一个国家，横跨大西洋。 霍莉小姐弹吉他，唱歌，跳踢踏舞，告诉我们各种关于西班牙的无用信息。 你知道吗?

that Spain is twice the size of Oregon? I didn't know that. Do you care? Me neither. "In Spain," Miss Holly told us, "boys and girls only have to go to school until they are sixteen years old!" "All right!" I said. "I'm moving to Spain!" "Then you'll have to learn to speak Spanish, A.J.," said Miss Holly. I told her I already know how to speak Spanish because I saw this movie called Terminator II where Arnold Schwarzenegger kills a bunch of guys, and before he leaves he says, "Hasta la vista, baby!" My mom told me that means "until we meet again." It was a

西班牙的面积是俄勒冈州的两倍 我不知道。你在乎吗? 我也不。“在西班牙，”霍莉小姐告诉我们，“男孩和女孩只要到16岁就得上学!”“好吧!”我说。 “我要搬去西班牙了!”“那你就得学会说西班牙语了，a.j.，”霍莉小姐说。 我告诉她我已经会说西班牙语了，因为我看过一部叫《终结者2》的电影，阿诺德·施瓦辛格杀了一群人，在他离开之前，他说:“再见，宝贝!”我妈妈告诉我那是“再见”的意思。 这是一个

cool movie. "That's good, A.J., but you'll have to learn a lot more than that," Miss Holly said. "Let's work on our Spanish vocabulary for the pageant." "Yay!" said the girls. "Boo!" said the boys. "The first word we're going to learn

很酷的电影。“很好，a.j.，但你要学的远不止这些，”霍莉小姐说。 “让我们为选美比赛学习西班牙语词汇吧。” “耶!”女孩们说。“嘘!”男孩们说。 这是我们要学的第一个单词

today is 'nose,'" said Miss Holly. "The Spanish word for 'nose' is la nariz," said Miss Holly. "La nariz," we all repeated. "Good," said Miss Holly. "The next word is 'think.' The Spanish word for 'think' is pensar." "Pensar," we all repeated. "Good," said Miss Holly. "The next word is Christmas tree! The Spanish word for 'Christmas tree' is el arbol de Navidad." "El arbol de Navidad," we all repeated. "Good," said Miss Holly. "The next word is 'stuck.' The Spanish word for 'stuck' is pegado."

今天是‘鼻子’，”霍莉小姐说。 “西班牙语里‘鼻子’的意思是‘la nariz’，”霍莉小姐说。 “纳丽兹岛。”我们都重复着。 “很好，”霍莉小姐说。“下一个单词是‘think’。在西班牙语中，‘思考’的意思是pensar。” “彭萨。”我们都重复着。 “很好，”霍莉小姐说。下一个单词是圣诞树!西班牙语中的“圣诞树”是el arbol de Navidad。” “El arbol de Navidad，”我们都重复着。 “很好，”霍莉小姐说。“下一个单词是‘卡住了’。在西班牙语中，‘卡住’的意思是pegado。”

"Pegado," we all repeated. Miss Holly sure picks weird words. Neil the nude kid raised his hand. "Why do we need to learn those words?" he asked. "Well," Miss Holly said, "what if you're in Spain and you need to say, 'I think I have a Christmas tree stuck to my nose'?" Miss Holly is weird.

“Pegado，”我们都重复着。 霍莉小姐的用词真怪。 裸体男孩尼尔举起了手。 “我们为什么要学这些词?”他问道。 “嗯，”霍莉小姐说，“如果你在西班牙，你需要说，‘我想我的鼻子上粘着一棵圣诞树’怎么办?”霍莉小姐很奇怪。
