8 Ch8-Virtual Reality Day

Chapter 8 Virtual Reality Day I was so mad that I wouldn't even look at Mrs. Yonkers when we walked into the computer lab that afternoon. "Is something wrong, A.J.?" she asked. "Yes, something is wrong," I replied. "Your junk food detector is a horrible, terrible, mean invention!" She took me outside the computer lab, and I told her how Officer Spence humiliated me in front of the whole school. "He took away my junk food and ate it!" I complained. "I love junk food. I need junk food." "Oh dear!" said Mrs. Yonkers. "This is terrible. I thought I was solving a problem for Mr. Klutz. I didn't realize I was making one for you."

那天下午我们走进电脑室的时候，我气得连看都不想看扬克斯太太一眼。 “怎么了，A.J.?”她问。 “是的，有点不对劲，”我回答。 “你的垃圾食品探测器是一个可怕的、可怕的、卑鄙的发明!”她把我带到电脑室外面，我告诉她斯宾塞警官是如何在全校面前羞辱我的。 “他把我的垃圾食品拿走吃了!”我抱怨道。 “我喜欢垃圾食品。我需要垃圾食品。” “哦，天哪!”扬克斯太太说。 “这太可怕了。我以为我是在帮克鲁茨先生解决问题。 我没意识到我是为你做的。”

Mrs. Yonkers was really nice about it. She said she would think of a way to make it up to me. When we went back into the computer lab, I wasn't so mad anymore. "Today is Virtual Reality Day!" Mrs. Yonkers announced to the class. She gave each of us a strange-looking helmet. When I put mine on, I couldn't see the computer lab anymore. Instead, I saw a big green field with a castle! I took a step forward, and it looked like I was walking toward the castle. It was freaky weird. "Mrs. Yonkers!" announced Mrs. Patty, the school secretary, over the loudspeaker.

扬克斯太太对我很好。 她说她会想办法补偿我的。 当我们回到计算机实验室时，我不再那么生气了。 “今天是虚拟现实日!”扬克斯太太向全班宣布。 她给了我们每人一顶奇形怪状的头盔。 当我穿上我的，我再也看不到计算机实验室了。 相反，我看到了一大片绿色的田野和一座城堡!我向前迈了一步，看起来像是在向城堡走去。 太诡异了。“夫人。 扬克斯!”学校秘书帕蒂夫人通过扩音器宣布。

"Please come to the office." "Oh dear," Mrs. Yonkers said. "I'll be right back." She told us to be on our best behavior while she was gone. So as soon as she left the room, I shook my butt at the class. But nobody laughed because we all had our virtual reality helmets on. I went up to the virtual castle in front of me and started exploring it. I thought all the other kids were seeing the same thing I was, but everyone saw something different. "I'm walking in a barren desert world," Ryan said. "I'm on a busy street," Michael said. "I'm in outer space," Andrea said. We were all stumbling around the computer lab like zombies in a horror movie. Virtual reality is cool. "Too bad we don't have laser guns," Neil the nude kid said. "Yeah," I agreed. "Then we could shoot each other."

“请到办公室来。” “哦，天哪，”扬克斯太太说。 “我马上就回来。”她告诉我们在她不在的时候要好好表现。 所以她一离开教室，我就对着全班同学抖屁股。 但没有人笑，因为我们都戴着虚拟现实头盔。 我走到我面前的虚拟城堡，开始探索。 我以为其他孩子看到的和我一样，但每个人看到的都不一样。 “我在一个贫瘠的沙漠世界里行走，”瑞恩说。 “我在一条繁忙的街道上，”迈克尔说。 “我在外太空，”安德里亚说。 我们都像恐怖电影里的僵尸一样在计算机实验室里跌跌撞撞。 虚拟现实很酷。“可惜我们没有激光枪，”裸体小孩尼尔说。 “是的，”我同意了。“这样我们就可以互相射击了。”

"Why do boys constantly think about shooting things?" asked Andrea. "Can't you have fun without hurting other people?" "No," I told her. Me and Andrea started a virtual argument, but we didn't have the chance to finish it because we were interrupted. You'll never believe who walked into the door at that very moment. It was Emily! She walked right into the door! "Owwwww!" she howled. Emily was on the floor, freaking out. What a crybaby! "I hit my head on the door!" she whined. "I think I have brain damage!" "No, that happened a long time ago," I cracked. Some of the kids laughed. Suddenly Mrs. Yonkers came running back into the computer lab. "Oh dear!" she said. "What happened?" "Dumbhead walked into the door," I explained. Mrs. Yonkers sat down on the floor and held Emily's head in her arms. Then she did the weirdest thing in the history of the world. She started crying too! "I'm so sorry!" she cried. "I'm still ironing out some of the bugs in the

“为什么男孩子总是想着开枪?”安德里亚问。 “你就不能在不伤害别人的情况下玩得开心吗?”“不，”我告诉她。 我和安德里亚开始了一场虚拟争吵，但我们没有机会结束，因为我们被打断了。 你绝对不会相信在那一刻谁走进来了。 是艾米丽!她径直走进了门!“哎哟!”她嚎叫着。 艾米丽躺在地板上，吓坏了。 真是个爱哭鬼!“我的头撞在门上了!”她抱怨道。 “我想我脑损伤了!”“不，那是很久以前的事了，”我说。 一些孩子笑了。突然，扬克斯太太跑回电脑室。 “哦，天哪!”她说。“发生什么事了?”“傻瓜走进了门，”我解释道。 扬克斯太太坐在地板上，把爱米丽的头抱在怀里。 然后她做了世界历史上最奇怪的事。 她也开始哭了!“我很抱歉!”她喊道。 “我还在解决一些问题。

virtual reality helmets. The pressure of this new job and my company is starting to get to me. I'm worried about Speedy, too. He's never been gone for so long." "It's okay, Mrs. Yonkers," Emily said. "I'll be all right." "It's just that I have so many ideas rumbling around in my head," Mrs. Yonkers told us. "There's so much I need to accomplish, and I have so little time to do it. Sometimes I wish I could clone myself." I didn't feel bad for that crybaby Emily. She falls down for no reason every five minutes. But I did feel bad for Mrs. Yonkers. She was a nice lady, even if her inventions were weird.

虚拟现实头盔。这份新工作和公司的压力开始让我受不了了。 我也担心飞毛腿。 他从来没有离开过这么久。” “没关系，扬克斯太太，”艾米丽说。 “我会没事的。”“只是我脑子里有太多的想法，”扬克斯太太告诉我们。 “我要完成的事情太多了，而我的时间却太少了。 有时我希望我能克隆自己。” 我没有为爱哭的艾米丽感到难过。 她每五分钟就无缘无故地摔倒一次。 但我确实为扬克斯太太感到难过。 她是个好女人，尽管她的发明很奇怪。
