7 Ch7-The Worst Poem in the History of the World

Chapter 7 The Worst Poem in the History of the World Ms. Coco took me back to the G and T room. She didn't say a word as we walked down the hall. She must have been really mad. I knew I was in big trouble. Ms. Coco must have found out that I made up a poem about eating bunnies. She must

第七章世界历史上最糟糕的诗。 可可带我回到了G和T的房间。 我们走过大厅时，她一句话也没说。 她一定是疯了。 我知道我有大麻烦了。 可可小姐一定发现了我写了一首关于吃兔子的诗。 她必须

have known that I offered the kids candy to keep them quiet. But when we got to the G and T room, the most amazing thing in the history of the world happened. Ms. Coco put her arms around me and gave me a hug! A.J., she said, I think you're a genius! Huh? I've been looking over the poems you wrote for Miss Daisy's class, Ms. Coco said, and they are incredible! They moved me to tears! In all my years of teaching, I have never met a child with such raw talent! Huh? I said. Miss Daisy gave me this, said Ms.

都知道我给孩子们糖果让他们安静。 但是当我们到了G和T的房间，世界历史上最神奇的事情发生了。 可可老师伸出双臂抱住我，给了我一个拥抱!aj，她说，我觉得你是个天才!嗯? 我一直在看你为黛西小姐的课写的诗。 可可说，他们太不可思议了!他们感动得我流下了眼泪!在我多年的教学生涯中，我从未见过有如此天赋的孩子!嗯? 我说。这是黛西小姐给我的。

Coco, handing me a sheet of paper. You wrote this, didn't you? Yeah, I guess so. It was one of those dumb poems I made up by throwing flash cards in the air. It's wonderful! Ms. Coco cried. I never thought someone so young could write such brilliant poetry! You need to share your gift with the world, A.J. You should become a poet when you grow up. I want to be a dirt bike racer, I said. You can be a dirt bike racer who writes poetry! said Ms. Coco. You are a young flower. I must water you and give you sunshine to help you grow and bloom.

可可递给我一张纸。 这是你写的，对吗? 是的，我想是的。那是我把卡片扔到空中编出来的一首蠢诗。 这是美妙的!可可女士哭了。 我从来没想到这么年轻的人能写出如此精彩的诗!你得和全世界分享你的天赋，a。j 你长大后应该成为一名诗人。 我想成为一名越野车赛车手，我说。 你可以成为一个写诗的越野车车手!女士说。 椰子树你是一朵小花。 我必须给你浇水，给你阳光，帮助你成长和开花。

Then she hugged me again and started to cry. Ugh! Gross! I thought I was gonna die. Ms. Coco was sure to tell everybody what a great poet I was. Do you know what that can do to a kid's reputation? If the guys started thinking I was a great poet, they wouldn't let me play football with them anymore. They wouldn't let me play roller hockey with them anymore. I wouldn't be cool A.J. anymore.

然后她又拥抱了我，哭了起来。 啊!恶心!我以为我要死了。 可可女士肯定会告诉大家我是一个多么伟大的诗人。 你知道这对孩子的名声有多大影响吗? 如果他们开始认为我是个伟大的诗人，他们就不会再让我和他们一起踢足球了。 他们不让我和他们一起玩旱冰了。 我不会再扮酷aj了。

I'd be Arlo the Poet. There was only one thing I could do run away to Antarctica and live with the penguins. Penguins are cool, and they wouldn't care that I was a gifted and talented nerd who wrote poetry. But wait! That's when I got another great idea. If I could write really good poetry, then I could write really bad poetry too. I could write a poem that was so bad, Ms. Coco would change her mind about me. All I had to do was write the worst poem in the history of the world! That night I sat down at my desk and made a list of words and stuff that grown-ups hate. Then I put all the words

我就是诗人阿乐。我能做的只有一件事逃到南极洲和企鹅住在一起。 企鹅很酷，它们不会介意我是一个写诗的天才书呆子。 但是等等!这时我有了另一个好主意。 如果我能写出真正的好诗，那么我也能写出真正的烂诗。 我可以写一首很烂的诗。 可可会改变她对我的看法。 我所要做的就是写出世界历史上最糟糕的诗!那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，列了一张成年人讨厌的单词和东西的清单。 然后我把所有的单词

together into a poem. It was hard work. But finally I was finished: Butt cheeks and belly button lint, Fart burgers on toast. I like to eat toenail clippings And earwax the most. Dumbheads and idiots And morons I hate. Armpits and dog doo And snot on my plate. There were a few more verses like that, but you get the point. I did it! I had written the worst poem in the history of the world!

合成一首诗。这是一项艰苦的工作。 但最后我完成了:屁股和肚脐的绒毛，吐司上的屁汉堡。 我最喜欢吃脚趾甲屑和耳垢。 我讨厌笨蛋和白痴还有白痴。 腋窝，狗屎和鼻涕在我的盘子里。 还有更多这样的诗句，但你懂的。 我做到了!我写了——世界历史上最糟糕的一首诗!
