7 Ch7-Busted!

Chapter 7 Busted! Life without candy and soda pop is a horrible, meaningless existence. Now that the junk food machines were gone from the vomitorium, I was left with no choice. It was time to resort to extreme measures. I decided to sneak in junk food from home. The next morning I stuffed a bag of Cracker Jacks into my backpack. I jammed some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in my pencil case. I put some popcorn in my pants pockets. I had a Charleston Chew in my shoe and gummi bears in my underwear! "I'm a walking candy store," I whispered to Michael and Ryan as we went through the front doors of school. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

第七章完蛋了!没有糖果和汽水的生活是一种可怕的、毫无意义的存在。 既然食堂里的垃圾食品机器都不见了，我就别无选择了。 是时候采取极端措施了。 我决定从家里偷带垃圾食品进来。 第二天早上，我往背包里塞了一袋饼干。 我在我的铅笔盒里塞了一些里斯花生酱杯。 我在裤子口袋里放了些爆米花。 我鞋里有一块查尔斯顿咀嚼糖，内裤里有小熊软糖!“我是一个行走的糖果店，”当我们穿过学校的前门时，我低声对迈克尔和瑞安说。 哔哔的声音!哔哔的声音!哔哔的声音!

Bells started ringing and sirens started blaring. "JUNK FOOD ALERT!" announced this computery voice. "JUNK FOOD ALERT!" Suddenly some guy in a police uniform jumped out from behind the door. He had a gun, handcuffs, and one of those clubs they use to beat up the bad guys on TV. "Freeze, dirtbag!" he yelled. "Huh?" I asked. "Who are you?" "My name is Officer Spence!" he said, pulling my hands behind my back. "I'm the new security guard here. Are you hiding any junk food on your person, young man?" "You are so busted, A.J.," said Ryan. I emptied my pockets for Officer Spence. I handed over the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, the popcorn, the gummi bears, the Cracker Jacks, and the Charleston Chews, too. "Step away from the junk food," ordered Officer Spence, "and nobody gets hurt." By that time a crowd of kids had gathered around to see what all the excitement was about. "Is Arlo going to jail?" Andrea asked with a huge grin on her face. "I'm going to let you off with a warning this time, young man," Officer Spence told me. "But don't bring any more junk food to school. That is, if you know what's good for you." "Yes sir," I said meekly. Ryan and Michael were laughing their heads off like it was the funniest thing in the history of the world. But it wasn't funny to me. I thought about running away to Antarctica to live with the penguins, but it would probably be even

铃声开始响起，警笛开始鸣响。 “垃圾食品警报!”这个电脑声音宣布。 “垃圾食品警报!”突然，一个穿警察制服的人从门后跳出来。 他有枪，手铐，还有电视上用来打坏人的警棍。 “别动，混蛋!” “嗯?”我问。“你是谁?”“我是斯宾塞警官!”他一边说，一边把我的手拉到背后。 “我是新来的保安。 年轻人，你身上藏了垃圾食品吗?”“你完蛋了，aj，”瑞恩说。 我为斯宾思警官掏空了口袋。 我把里斯的花生酱杯、爆米花、小熊软糖、杰克饼干和查尔斯顿咀嚼饼干也递给了他们。 “离垃圾食品远点，”斯宾塞警官命令道，“这样就没人会受伤。” 这时，一群孩子围了过来，想看看这到底是怎么回事。 “阿乐要进监狱吗?”安德里亚咧嘴笑着问。 “年轻人，这次我只给你一个警告就放你一马，”斯宾塞警官对我说。 “但是不要再把垃圾食品带到学校了。 也就是说，如果你知道什么对你有好处。” “是的，先生。”我温顺地说。瑞恩和迈克尔笑得前仰后合，好像这是世界历史上最好笑的事。 但这对我来说并不好笑。 我想过逃到南极洲和企鹅一起生活，但这可能是公平的

harder to get junk food there. "I have to run some tests on this evidence to make sure it's not poisoned," Officer Spence said as he bit into one of my Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. "You can't be too careful, you know." "Hey, that's my candy!" I complained. "There might be a bomb in these Cracker Jacks," Officer Spence said, ripping open the bag. "I'd better test them." He stuffed a fistful of Cracker Jacks into his mouth. "This batch is clean," he said. "Lucky I was here to make sure." Officer Spence makes no sense! But there was something else I still didn't understand. What the heck was it that started beeping when I went through the front door? That's when Mr. Klutz came running down the hall. He was all excited. "The new infrared heat-sensing digital junk food detector works!" he said. "Mrs. Yonkers is a genius!" What?! This was one of Mrs. Yonkers's inventions? It was a horrible, terrible, mean invention, if you ask me. I was really mad at Mrs. Yonkers.

在那里很难买到垃圾食品。 “我必须对这些证据进行一些测试，以确保它没有中毒，”斯宾塞警官咬着我的一个里斯花生酱杯说。 “你知道，越小心越好。” “嘿，那是我的糖果!”我抱怨道。 “这些饼干里可能有炸弹，”斯宾塞警官一边说，一边撕开袋子。 “我最好测试一下。”他往嘴里塞了一把饼干。 “这批是干净的，”他说。 “幸运的是我在这里确保了这一点。” 斯宾塞警官没道理!但还有一件事我还是不明白。 我从前门进去的时候到底是什么东西开始哔哔响的? 就在这时，克鲁茨先生从大厅跑了过来。 他非常兴奋。他说:“新的红外热感数字垃圾食品探测器有效!” “扬克斯太太是个天才!”什么? !这是扬克斯太太的发明吗? 如果你问我，我会说这是一个可怕的，可怕的，卑鄙的发明。 我很生扬克斯太太的气。
