1 Ch1-Crazy Pet Day

Chapter 1 Crazy Pet Day My name is A.J. and I hate school. Man, I wish I was a grown-up. Grown-ups are so lucky. They don't have to go to school. If I was a grown-up, you know which grown-up I would be? I would be the president of the United States. And you

第一章疯狂宠物日我叫A.J. 我讨厌学校。伙计，我真希望我是个成年人。 成年人是如此幸运。他们不必去上学。 如果我是个大人，你知道我会是哪个大人吗? 我就会成为美国总统。 和你

know what I would do if I was president of the United States? I would close all the schools. Then kids wouldn't have to go anymore. That's what I would do. But until I become president, I guess I'll have to keep going to school. Bummer in the summer! It was Crazy Pet Day at Ella Mentry School, so kids who had crazy pets brought them in to show the class. My friend Ryan brought in his hermit crab. This girl named Annette brought in her bird (which, if you ask me, isn't crazy at all). I don't have a crazy pet. I just have a dog, which isn't crazy at all. I wish I

你知道如果我是美国总统我会怎么做吗? 我会关闭所有的学校。 孩子们就不用再去了。 这就是我要做的。但在我成为总统之前，我想我还得继续上学。 夏天的流浪者!今天是艾拉门特里学校的疯狂宠物日，所以有疯狂宠物的孩子们带着它们来给全班看。 我朋友莱恩带来了他的寄居蟹。 一个叫安妮特的女孩带来了她的鸟(如果你问我，我觉得这一点也不疯狂)。 我没有疯狂的宠物。我只是养了一只狗，这一点也不疯狂。 我希望我

had a penguin. Penguins are cool. But my parents won't get me one because they live in Antarctica. Penguins, that is. Not my parents. My parents live at home with me. EEEEEEEK! screamed this girl Emily, who cries over everything. A rat! It wasn't a rat. It was a pet ferret that belonged to Neil Crouch (who we call Neil the nude kid even though he wears clothes).

有一只企鹅。企鹅很酷。 但是我父母不给我买，因为他们住在南极洲。 那就是企鹅。不是我父母。 我父母和我一起住在家里。 EEEEEEEK !一个叫艾米丽的女孩尖叫着，她什么都哭。 一只老鼠!那不是老鼠。这是一只宠物雪貂，属于尼尔·克劳奇(我们称他为裸体孩子尼尔，尽管他穿着衣服)。

But it did look a little bit like a rat. A long rat. What's your ferret's name? I asked Neil the nude kid as I looked in his cage. (The ferret's cage, that is. Not Neil's. He doesn't live in a cage. He lives in a house with his parents.) His name is Mr. Wiggles. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap clapped our teacher Miss Daisy. That's her signal that we have to stop talking. We'll learn all about your crazy pets later, Miss Daisy told us. But first, I have big news! Miss Daisy said she has a big nose, I whispered to my friend Michael. He cracked up.

但它看起来确实有点像老鼠。 一只长老鼠。你的雪貂叫什么名字? 我看着那个裸体小孩尼尔的笼子，问他。 (那是雪貂的笼子。 不是尼尔的。他不是住在笼子里。 他和父母住在一所房子里。他叫威格斯先生。 拍，拍，拍，拍，拍我们的老师黛西小姐。 这是她的信号，让我们停止交谈。 “我们以后会了解你们那些疯狂的宠物的，”黛西小姐告诉我们。 但首先，我有个大新闻!黛西小姐说她有一个大鼻子，我低声对我的朋友迈克尔说。 他大笑起来。

Do you have something you'd like to share with the rest of us, A.J.? asked Miss Daisy. No. The big news is that Presidents' Day is coming up next week, said Miss Daisy. What's Presidents' Day? somebody asked. I have no idea, said Miss Daisy, who doesn't know anything. Maybe one of you kids can tell the class what makes Presidents' Day special? I raised my hand. So did Andrea Young, this really annoying girl with curly brown hair. She was waving her hand in the air, like always. Andrea thinks she knows everything. But Miss Daisy called on me

你有什么想和我们分享的吗，aj ? 黛西小姐问。不。大新闻是下星期就是总统日了，黛西小姐说。 什么是总统日?有人问。 “我不知道，”黛西小姐说，她什么也不知道。 也许你们谁能告诉同学们总统日的特别之处? 我举起了手。还有安德里亚·杨，那个长着棕色卷发的讨厌女孩。 她像往常一样在空中挥舞着她的手。 安德里亚自以为无所不知。 但是黛西小姐来拜访我
