11 Ch11-King of the School

Chapter 11 King of the School I was feeling great when I walked into the school store the next morning. I was bopping along with the iPod I bought on eBay with all the money I earned selling poems. It was the last day of April. I sold so many poems that I had more money than I could spend.

第十一章学校之王第二天早上，当我走进学校的商店时，我感觉棒极了。 我用卖诗赚来的钱在易趣上买了一台iPod，我带着它跳起舞来。 那是四月的最后一天。 我卖了那么多诗，钱多得花不完。

Pencils for everyone! I announced. I'm buying! Most of the kids in my class were in the store. I showed the guys my iPod. That's cool! said Neil the nude kid. I'm glad you like it, I said. After all, you paid for it. Where did you get that, Arlo? asked Andrea. You always say you don't have any money. None of your beeswax, I told her. The bell rang and it was time to go to class. The girls went running off, and all the boys gathered around me. I need one more poem, A.J., Michael said.

铅笔给每个人!我宣布。 我买!我们班的大多数孩子都在店里。 我给他们看了我的iPod。 那很酷!裸体小孩尼尔说。 我很高兴你喜欢它，我说。 毕竟是你付的钱。 你从哪弄来的，阿乐? 安德里亚问道。你总是说你没钱。 不关你的事，我告诉她。 上课铃响了，该去上课了。 女孩们都跑开了，所有的男孩都围着我。 “我还需要一首诗，aj，”迈克尔说。

Me too, said Ryan. One at a time, guys, I said as I pulled some poems out of my notebook. There are plenty to go around. I gave them all poems and they gave me their lunch money. My pockets were so stuffed with coins that it was hard to walk! Man, I was gonna miss National

“我也是。”瑞恩说。“一个一个来，伙计们，”我边说边从笔记本里拿出几首诗。 有很多东西可供选择。 我给他们所有的诗，他们给我他们的午餐钱。 我的口袋里塞满了硬币，走都走不动了!伙计，我会想念国家银行的

Poetry Month. Well, we did it! Miss Daisy said as she collected our poems. The students at Ella Mentry School wrote a thousand poems! This afternoon we're going to have an assembly with a real live poet! Isn't that exciting? Yes! yelled all the girls. No! yelled all the boys. All morning I wasn't thinking about the assembly, or math, or social studies. I was thinking about what I would buy next with the money I earned selling poems. Maybe I'd get a new skateboard or some cool posters for my room. It was hard to enjoy my lunch in the

诗歌。好吧，我们做到了!黛西小姐一边收我们的诗一边说。 艾拉门特里学校的学生写了一千首诗!今天下午我们将和一位真正的诗人举行集会!这不是很令人兴奋吗? 是的!所有的女孩都喊道。 不!所有的男孩都喊道。整个上午我都没有想集会、数学或社会研究。 我在想，用卖诗挣来的钱，接下来该买什么。 也许我会买一个新的滑板或者在我的房间里放一些很酷的海报。 很难享受我的午餐在

vomitorium that afternoon. Ryan and Michael and the other guys were staring at my food the whole time. I felt a little bad taking their lunch money, so I gave them some of my cookies. Line up in single file, Miss Daisy said when we got back from lunch. We walked to the all-purpose room for the assembly. Andrea and her annoying

那天下午去了Vomitorium。 瑞安和迈克尔还有其他人一直盯着我的食物看。 拿他们的午餐钱我觉得有点不好意思，所以我给了他们一些我的饼干。 我们吃完午饭回来，黛西小姐说，排成一排。 我们走到集会用的多功能房间。 安德里亚和她讨厌的

friends sat in the row behind me. After the whole school had arrived, Mr. Klutz got up on the stage. Wow, a thousand poems! he said. You know, Ms. Coco tells me we have a very talented poet right here at Ella Mentry School. Will you please come up on stage, A.J.? Everybody turned and looked at me. Then they started clapping and cheering. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I thought I was gonna die. Get up there, dumbhead! said Ryan. Michael and Neil the nude kid pushed me out of my seat. I walked up onto the stage. Ms. Coco came up there too. She

朋友们坐在我后面一排。 全班同学都到齐后，克鲁茨先生走上舞台。 哇，一千首诗!他说。 可可老师告诉我艾拉门特里学校有一位很有才华的诗人。 你能上台来吗，aj ? 每个人都转过身来看着我。 然后他们开始鼓掌欢呼。 我不知道该说什么。 我不知道该怎么办。我以为我要死了。 上去吧，笨蛋!瑞恩说。 迈克尔和那个裸体小子尼尔把我从座位上推了下来。 我走上舞台。 可可女士也去了那里。 她
