4 Ch4-Dr. Carbles Is a Meanie

Chapter 4 Dr. Carbles Is a Meanie DR. CARBLES?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I always thought you had to go to principal school to be a principal. But I guess any dumbhead can be a principal. Dr. Carbles wasn't wearing his usual jacket and tie. He was wearing an army uniform, with black boots and a whistle around his neck. In one hand he was holding a bullhorn. In the other he had a whip. He didn't say anything at first. He just walked down the aisle, looking us over. Nobody made a move. Nobody made a sound. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. We were all afraid of Dr. Carbles. He had a scowl on his face. Even Miss Daisy looked scared. Finally Dr. Carbles put the bullhorn to his mouth. "ATTEN— TION!" Dr. Carbles hollered, and we all straightened up in our seats. "This school is pathetic! You are unruly! You are undisciplined! You are totally disrespectful! I won't stand for it!" He was really mad!

第四章卡伯斯医生是个刻薄的人。 CARBLES ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!我一直以为只有上了小学才能当校长。 但我想任何一个笨蛋都可以当校长。 卡布尔斯医生没有穿他平时穿的西装打领带。 他穿着军装，脚穿黑靴子，脖子上挂着一个哨子。 他一手拿着扩音器。 另一只手里拿着一根鞭子。 起初他什么也没说。 他走过红毯，打量着我们。 没人动。没有人发出一点声音。 那里很安静，连一根针掉在地上的声音都能听见。 我们都害怕卡伯斯博士。 他一脸怒容。 就连黛西小姐看起来也很害怕。 最后，卡伯斯医生把扩音器放到嘴里。 “衰减器,!”卡伯斯医生喊道，我们都从座位上站直了身子。 “这所学校真可怜!”你太任性了!你不守纪律!你太不尊重人了!我不能容忍!”他真的疯了!

"You don't go to school to have fun!" he shouted. "You go to school to learn, so you can get into college and have a productive life." "But I'm only in first grade!" said one of the first graders. Then she started to cry. "Silence!" shouted Dr. Carbles. He cracked his whip, and everybody jumped. "There are going to be some changes around here. Mr. Klutz was too easy on you. There will be no more turkeys and silly costumes and contests. From now on we will focus on the four Rs: reading, writing, arithmetic, and rules. We're going to turn you students into lean, mean learning machines. And if you don't like the way I do things, well, maybe you'd like to spend a little time in the dungeon on the third floor. Do I make myself clear?" "Yes, Dr. Carbles," everybody mumbled. "Children behave better when they're wearing uniforms," Dr. Carbles told us. "So from now on, you will wear the official uniform of Ella Mentry School." The PTA moms went up and down the rows, passing out a bag to each of us. "That's all for now," Dr. Carbles said. "Any questions?"

“你上学不是为了玩的!” “你上学是为了学习，这样你才能进入大学，过上充实的生活。” “可我才上一年级啊!”一个一年级学生说。 然后她开始哭了起来。“安静!” Carbles。他啪的一声抽了鞭子，大家都跳了起来。 “这里将会有一些变化。 克鲁茨先生对你太宽容了。 再也不会有火鸡、愚蠢的服装和比赛了。 从现在起，我们将把重点放在四个r上:阅读、写作、算术和规则。 我们要把你们这些学生变成精干的学习机器。 如果你不喜欢我做事的方式，也许你会想在三楼的地牢里待一段时间。 我讲清楚了吗?”“是的,博士。 Carbles，”大家嘟囔着。 “孩子们穿校服时会表现得更好。” Carbles告诉我们的。“所以从现在开始，你要穿艾拉门特里学校的正式制服。” 家长会的妈妈们在教室里走来走去，给我们每个人发了一个包。 “目前就这些了，”卡伯斯博士说。 “有什么问题吗?”

"Can I go to the bathroom?" somebody asked. "No!" Dr. Carbles yelled. "Weak bladders lead to weak minds. Do you think George Washington went to the bathroom when he was crossing the Delaware?" "They had bathrooms on the Delaware?" asked Ryan. "Will we still have recess somebody else asked. "No!" Dr. Carbles yelled. "Recess is for wimps." "Will we still be allowed to play in the playground after school?" Michael asked. "NO!" Dr. Carbles yelled. "You're going to MARCH in the playground after school." Sure enough, when the three-o'clock bell rang, Dr. Carbles led us out onto the playground. We had to form a line, with the fifth graders at the front and the kindergarten trolls at the back. "Left! Right! Left! Right!" Dr. Carbles yelled as we marched. "Stop lagging behind, kindergarteners!" Dr. Carbles had us march around the playground a million hundred times. I thought I was gonna die.

“我能去洗手间吗?”有人问。 “不!”卡伯斯博士喊道。“脆弱的膀胱导致脆弱的头脑。 你觉得乔治·华盛顿在横渡特拉华河的时候会去洗手间吗?”“他们在特拉华河上有浴室吗?”瑞恩问。 “我们还会休息吗?” “不!”卡伯斯博士喊道。“休息是为懦夫准备的。” “放学后我们还能在操场上玩吗?”迈克尔问道。 “不!”卡伯斯博士喊道。“你们放学后要在操场上游行。” 果然，三点钟的铃响了。 Carbles把我们领到了操场上。 我们不得不排成一排，五年级的学生排在前面，幼儿园的孩子排在后面。 “左!没错!离开了!没错!”博士。 当我们行进时，Carbles大声喊着。 “别落后了，幼儿园的孩子们!”博士。 Carbles让我们绕着操场走了上百万遍。 我以为我要死了。
