3 Ch3-The Principal Is Your Pal

Chapter 3 The Principal Is Your Pal The principal is like the king of the school. He gets to tell everybody what to do and where to go. That is cool! If I can't be a professional hockey player when I grow up, I want to be a principal so I can boss teachers around. My friend Billy from around the

第三章校长是你的好朋友校长就像学校的国王。 他可以告诉大家该做什么，该去哪里。 太酷了!如果我长大后不能成为一名职业冰球运动员，我想当一名校长，这样我就可以对老师们颐指气使了。 我的朋友比利来自附近

corner, who was in second grade last year, told me that principals have a dungeon down in the basement of the school where they torture kids who misbehave. I don't know if Billy's telling the truth or not. But one time we had gym class and we passed by this open door in the basement and there were all kinds of scary-looking things in there. Michael said he saw chains hanging from the ceiling over a chair with straps on the arms and

科纳去年上二年级，他告诉我，校长们在学校的地下室里有一个地牢，他们在那里折磨那些行为不端的孩子。 我不知道比利说的是不是真话。 但是有一次我们上体育课，我们经过地下室一扇开着的门，里面有各种各样看起来很可怕的东西。 迈克尔说他看到椅子的天花板上挂着铁链扶手上绑着带子

legs, so I guess that's what Mr. Klutz uses to torture bad kids. I was scared. I had never been to the principal's office before. On the way there, I stopped into the boy's bathroom. Maybe I could dig a tunnel out of the school and escape, I thought My friend Billy told me he saw that in a war movie once. These guys dug their way out of prison camp with a spoon. But I didn't have a spoon. And I didn't want to touch the floor of the bathroom anyway Yuck! When I got to Mr. Klutz's office, his secretary made me sit in a chair for about a million hours. Mr. Klutz's door was closed the whole time. I wondered if he

所以我猜那就是克鲁茨先生用来折磨坏孩子的东西。 我很害怕。我以前从未去过校长办公室。 在去那里的路上，我进了男厕所。 也许我可以在学校外面挖个地道逃跑，我想我的朋友比利告诉我他曾经在一部战争电影里看到过。 这些家伙用勺子挖出了战俘营。 但是我没有勺子。 而且我也不想碰浴室的地板，恶心!当我到克鲁茨先生的办公室时，他的秘书让我在椅子上坐了大约100万小时。 克鲁茨先生的门一直关着。 我想知道他是否

was torturing some other kid. I didn't hear any screams or anything. Finally the secretary said I could go inside. I opened the door and was surprised to see Mr. Klutz was hanging upside down from a bar near the ceiling. He had on boots that were attached to the bar. "What are you doing up there?" I asked. "Oh, just hanging around," Mr. Klutz said as he pulled himself out of his boots and jumped down onto the floor. "When the blood rushes to my head, it helps me think." Well, I know that blood rushing to your head doesn't help you grow hair, because Mr. Klutz had no hair on his

在折磨别的孩子。 我没听到什么尖叫什么的。 最后秘书说我可以进去了。 我打开门，惊讶地发现克鲁茨先生正倒挂在靠近天花板的吧台上。 他穿着系在栏杆上的靴子。 “你在上面干什么?”我问。 “哦，只是在闲逛，”克鲁茨一边说一边脱下靴子，跳到了地板上。 “当血液涌向我的头部时，它有助于我思考。” 我知道血液涌向你的头部并不能帮助你长头发，因为克鲁茨先生没有头发

head at all. He was bald as a balloon. Mr. Klutz's office looked pretty much like my dad's office, except he had a big snowboarding poster on the wall and a foosball table in the corner. Oh, and he

头都没有。他秃顶得像个气球。 克鲁茨先生的办公室看起来和我爸爸的办公室很像，除了他在墙上贴了一张很大的滑雪板海报，角落里放了一张桌上足球桌。 哦，还有他

also had a punching bag with a face on it. Come to think of it, it didn't look anything like my dad's office. I kept my head down when he told me to take a seat, so he would feel sorry for me. When you get into trouble, always keep your head down, because if grown-ups feel sorry for you they won't punish you as badly. "Miss Daisy told me why you're here," Mr. Klutz said, "but I'd like to hear your side of the story." "Miss Daisy thinks I stole some straws," I told him. "What makes you think that, A.J.?"

还有一个带着人脸的沙袋。 仔细想想，它看起来一点也不像我爸爸的办公室。 当他叫我坐下时，我低着头，这样他就会同情我了。 当你遇到麻烦时，一定要低着头，因为如果大人们同情你，他们就不会那么严厉地惩罚你了。 “黛西小姐告诉了我你来这里的原因，”克鲁茨先生说，“但我想听听你的说法。” “黛西小姐认为我偷了一些吸管，”我告诉他。 “你怎么会这么想，A.J.?”
