9 Ch9-What's the Magic Word？

Chapter 9 What's the Magic Word? After the assembly we went back to Miss Daisy's room. It was almost time for our class to be called down to the gym to have our pictures taken. Andrea and Emily pulled out their little mirrors and started fixing their hair. It had been a full hour since they last fixed their hair, so

第九章魔法字是什么? 聚会结束后，我们回到黛西小姐的房间。 快到我们班被叫到体育馆拍照的时间了。 安德里亚和艾米丽拿出她们的小镜子，开始整理头发。 他们上次梳头已经整整一个小时了，所以

they must have had a lot of hair that needed fixing. Just then, guess who poked their heads in the door? Nobody! Because if you poked your head in a door, it would hurt. But guess who poked their heads in the doorway? It was Mrs. Roopy and Miss Suki! Mrs. Roopy was holding a stack of books and the Blueberry Award. Miss Suki was rolling Rappy's mystery box. We have some autographed books, Mrs. Roopy said as she handed them out. Andrea bought every one of Miss Suki's books. I didn't buy a book. Books are boring. Besides, the order form was still in

他们一定有很多头发需要修理。 就在这时，猜猜谁从门里探出头来了? 没有人!因为如果你把头伸进门里，会很疼的。 但猜猜是谁从门口探出头来的? 是鲁比太太和苏琪小姐!鲁比太太拿着一摞书和蓝莓奖。 苏琪小姐正在摇拉皮的神秘盒子。 “我们有一些亲笔签名的书，”鲁比太太一边分发，一边说。 安德里亚买了苏琪小姐的每一本书。 我没有买书。书很无聊。 而且，订单还在

my backpack because I forgot to give it to my parents. Did you write any Dr. Seuss books? I asked Miss Suki. I believe those were written by Dr. Seuss, she said.

我忘记把背包给我父母了。 你写过苏斯博士的书吗? 我问苏琪小姐。我相信那些是由。 苏斯，她说。

You should write some Dr. Seuss books, I suggested. They're cool. I'll think about that, Miss Suki said. How come Dr. Seuss was allowed to call himself a doctor when he really wasn't one? I asked her. You'd have to ask him that, replied Miss Suki. I can't, I told her. He's dead. Do you like cheese? asked Ryan. Not very much, said Miss Suki. Will you sign my autograph book? asked Emily. Oh, okay, said Miss Suki. Can I have ten autographs for my cousins? Michael asked.

你应该写一些苏斯博士的书，我建议。 他们很酷。“我会考虑的，”苏琪小姐说。 为什么苏斯博士被允许称自己为医生，而他实际上不是医生? 我问她。这你得问他，苏琪小姐回答。 “不行，”我告诉她。他死了。 你喜欢奶酪吗?瑞恩问道。 “不太喜欢，”苏琪小姐说。 你能在我的签名簿上签名吗? 艾米丽问。哦，好吧，苏琪小姐说。 能给我的表兄妹们要十个签名吗? 迈克尔问道。

Miss Suki didn't look all that happy, but she started signing the scraps of paper Michael handed her. You should write a book about penguins, I suggested. Penguins are cool. What's your favorite kind of cheese? asked Ryan. Miss Suki was about to leave when Mr. Klutz made an announcement over the loudspeaker. Miss Daisy's class, please report to the gym to have your pictures taken. That's when I got the greatest idea in the history of the world. Will you be in our class picture, Miss Suki? I asked.

苏琪小姐看起来不太高兴，但她开始在迈克尔递给她的纸片上签名。 我建议说，你应该写一本关于企鹅的书。 企鹅很酷。你最喜欢哪种奶酪? 瑞恩问道。苏琪小姐正要离开时，克鲁茨先生通过扩音器宣布了一件事。 戴西小姐的班级，请到体育馆报到拍照。 就在那时，我想到了世界历史上最伟大的主意。 苏琪小姐，你会出现在我们班的照片里吗? 我问。

Please? Please? Please? everybody begged. We said please about a million hundred times. If you ever want to get something from a grown-up, just say please over and over again. The more times you say it, the better chance they will say yes. That's the first rule of being a kid. Well, okay, said Miss Suki. YAY! See? It's amazing. All you have to do is say one dumb word and you can get whatever you want. What a scam!

好吗?好吗?好吗?每个人都恳求。 我们说了一百万遍请了。 如果你想从大人那里得到什么，就一遍又一遍地说“请”。 你说得越多，他们就越有可能答应你。 这是当孩子的第一准则。 “好吧，”苏琪小姐说。 耶!看到了吗?这是惊人的。你只要说一个蠢话就能得到你想要的一切。 真是个骗局!
