8 Ch8-Far-out, Man!

Chapter 8 Far-out, Man! The next day it was more of the same at school. No talking. No smiling. No laughing. No fun. Since it was raining at three o'clock, I thought Dr. Carbles might let us skip the after-school march. But he didn't When the bell rang, he led us out onto the playground and made us march around in the rain. It was horrible. "Left! Right! Left! Right!" barked Dr. Carbles. "You kids are a disgrace!" Finally he let us go home, I walked with Ryan and Michael. We were soaked. "It's not fair!" Ryan said, as we crossed the street next to the school. "What's not fair?" somebody asked. It was Mr. Louie, the school crossing guard. He wears bell-bottom pants and tie-dyed shirts, and he always has his guitar with him. Well, actually it's a stop sign. He wrote the word STOP in big letters on the back of his guitar.

第八章远方，老兄!第二天，学校里的情况还是一样。 没有说话。没有微笑。没有笑。 不好玩。既然三点钟就下雨了，我想大夫。 碳水化合物可以让我们跳过放学后的游行。 但是他没有。下课铃响了，他把我们带到操场上，让我们在雨中游行。 太可怕了。“左!没错!离开了!对!” Carbles。“你们这些孩子真丢脸!”最后他让我们回家了，我和瑞安、迈克尔一起走着。 我们都湿透了。“这不公平!”当我们穿过学校旁边的街道时，瑞恩说。 “什么不公平?”有人问。 是路易先生，学校的交警。 他穿着喇叭裤和扎染衬衫，随身带着吉他。 嗯，实际上这是一个停车标志。 他在吉他的背面用大字写了“停止”。

We told Mr. Louie all about Dr. Carbles. "Bummer, man!" Mr. Louie said. "That dude gives off bad vibes." "And there's nothing we can do about it," Michael said. "Sure there is!" Mr. Louie told us. "You should protest! That's what they did back in the Sixties, man. It was far-out! Peace and love were in the air. People changed the world by protesting. You can change your world, too!" It sounded like a great idea. I invited Mr. Louie over to my house after school so he could teach me and the guys how to protest like they did in the Sixties. Mr. Louie told us that the way to change the world is to sing songs, chant slogans, and hold up signs. Michael made a sign that said POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Ryan made a sign that said DON'T TRUST ANYONE OVER 12. I made a sign that said CARBLES IS LOSING HIS MARBLES! While we were working on our signs, Mr. Louie taught us some protest songs, like "Blowin' in the Wind," and "If I Had a Hammer." I don't get that hammer song. It's about some guy who wants a hammer. Why doesn't he just go to a hardware store and buy one? Hammers don't cost that much. Instead of singing about hammers, I think we should sing "If I

我们跟路易先生讲了所有的事情。 Carbles。“游手好闲的男人!”路易说。 “那家伙给人不好的感觉。” “我们对此无能为力，”迈克尔说。 “当然有!”路易先生告诉我们的。 “你应该抗议!”60年代的人就是这么干的。 太遥远了!空气中弥漫着和平与爱。 人们通过抗议改变了世界。 你也可以改变你的世界!”这听起来是个好主意。 我邀请路易先生放学后到我家来，让他教我和其他人如何像60年代那样抗议。 路易先生告诉我们，改变世界的方式是唱歌、喊口号和举标语。 迈克尔做了一个牌子，上面写着“权力归人民”。 瑞安做了一个牌子，上面写着不要相信12岁以上的人。 我做了一个牌子，上面写着CARBLES正在失去他的理智!在我们制作标牌的时候，路易先生教了我们一些抗议歌曲，比如《在风中飘荡》(Blowin’in the Wind)和《如果我有一把锤子》(If I Had a Hammer)。 我听不懂那首锤子歌。 是关于一个想要锤子的人。 他为什么不去五金店买一个呢? 锤子不那么贵。 与其唱锤子，我想我们应该唱“如果我。

Had a Snowboard" or "If I Had an Xbox." That would make a lot more sense than singing about hammers, if you ask me. Anyway, when me and the guys got to school the next morning, we were ready to protest. We marched around with our signs. We chanted slogans. We sang songs. We were in the middle of "If I Had a Snowboard" when Andrea came over to us. "What are you dumbheads doing?" she asked. "We're protesting, man!" I said. "We're gonna change the world!" "You probably don't even change your underwear, Arlo," said Andrea, and she went up the steps to school. "CARBLES NEVER! KLUTZ FOREVER!" chanted Ryan. "TWO, FOUR, SIX, EIGHT— WHO DO WE APPRECIATE?" chanted Michael. "KLUTZ! KLUTZ! KLUTZ!" A bunch of kids gathered around to watch. Some of them joined our protest. A few of the teachers joined in, too. Soon we had a big mob protesting. Everything was going great!

“如果我有个滑雪板”或者“如果我有个Xbox” 要我说，这比唱锤子更有意义。 不管怎样，当我和其他人第二天早上到达学校时，我们准备抗议。 我们举着标语游行。 我们高呼口号。我们唱歌。 我们在唱《如果我有滑雪板》的时候，安德里亚走了过来。 “你们这些笨蛋在干什么?”她问道。 “我们在抗议，伙计!”我说。 “我们要改变世界!”“你可能连内裤都不换，阿乐。”安德里亚说着，走上台阶去学校。 “CARBLES从来没有!永远的笨蛋!”瑞安喊道。 “二，四，六，八——我们应该欣赏谁?”迈克尔高呼。 “笨蛋!这些外行!笨蛋!”一群孩子围在旁边看。 他们中的一些人参加了我们的抗议。 一些老师也加入了进来。 很快就有一大群暴民在抗议。 一切都很顺利!

And then, you'll never guess in a million hundred years what came rolling out of the playground. I'm not going to tell you. Okay, okay, I'll tell you. It was a tank! No, not a fish tank, dumbhead. It was one of those big army tanks. And it was heading our way! The top of the tank opened up, and Dr. Carbles's head popped out. "GO TO YOUR CLASSROOMS, NOW!" Dr. Carbies hollered into his bullhorn. "I WILL CRUSH YOUR REBELLION!" Wow! Where do you think Dr. Carbles got a tank? I guess he rented it. You can rent anything, you know. There's probably a place called Rent-a-Tank. Dr. Carbles was driving the tank straight at us. "He wouldn't dare run us over," Michael said.

然后，你永远猜不到一百万年后从操场上滚出来的是什么。 我不会告诉你的。 好吧，好吧，我告诉你。 那是一辆坦克!不，不是鱼缸，笨蛋。 那是一辆大型军用坦克。 它正朝我们这边来!水箱的顶部打开了。 卡波斯的头探了出来。 “现在就回教室去!”博士。 卡比斯对着他的扩音器喊道。 “我会粉碎你的叛乱!”哇!你认为Dr。 Carbles有坦克吗?我猜他是租来的。 你可以租任何东西。 可能有个地方叫租坦克。 卡布尔斯博士正把坦克开向我们。 “他不敢从我们身上碾过去，”迈克尔说。

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Dr. Carbies shouted. "OR YOU WILL BE LOCKED IN THE DUNGEON ON THE THIRD FLOOR!" The tank was getting closer! We didn't know what to say! We didn't know what to do! We had to think fast! "Run for your lives!" I shouted just as the tank was about to rumble over us.

“别挡道!”卡比斯博士喊道。 “不然你就被关在三楼的地牢里!”坦克越来越近了!我们不知道该说什么!我们不知道该怎么办!我们必须快速思考!“快逃命!”就在坦克要从我们身上碾过的时候，我喊道。
