4 Ch4-The Present

Chapter 4 The Present When I got back to the class, everybody looked at me. I guess they wanted to see if I was crying or bleeding or anything. "Did Klutz bring you down into his torture chamber?" Ryan whispered when I sat in my seat. "Nope," I said. "He gave me a present."

当我回到教室时，每个人都看着我。 我猜他们是想看看我有没有哭，有没有流血之类的。 “克鲁茨把你带到他的地牢里去了吗?”当我坐在座位上时，瑞安低声说。 “不，”我说。“他给了我一份礼物。”

"What did he give you?" "I can't tell you." "Oh, come on!" "I promised I wouldn't tell." "I'll be your best friend." "Well, okay. I'll show you at lunch." During lunch, I sat at a table with my new best friend Ryan, Michael, smartypants Andrea, and Emily, who cries all the time even if she isn't hurt or anything. You should have seen their eyes bug out when I showed them the candy bar. "Where did you get that?" Michael asked. "Your mom usually gives you carrot sticks for dessert." "Mr. Klutz gave it to me," I explained

“他给了你什么?”“我不能告诉你。” “哦，别这样!”“我答应过不会说出去的。” “我会成为你最好的朋友。” “嗯,好的。午饭时我给你看。” 午餐时，我和我的新好友莱恩、迈克尔、爱自作聪明的安德里亚，以及即使没有受伤也会一直哭的艾米丽坐在一张桌子旁。 你真该看看我给他们看糖果棒时他们的眼神。 “你从哪儿弄来的?”迈克尔问道。 “你妈妈通常会给你胡萝卜条当甜点。” “是克鲁茨先生给我的，”我解释道

"He's got a whole drawer filled with them." "Why did he give you a candy bar?" asked Emily. I could tell she was jealous. "Because I didn't bring in my current event," I explained. "Wait a minute!" Andrea said, all angry and all. "You got sent to the principal's office for being bad, and instead of punishing you, he gave you a candy bar? That's not fair! I brought in three current events and I didn't get a candy bar." "Maybe you should try not being so perfect all the time," I said. "You can have my carrot sticks, Andrea." I love getting Andrea mad. She thinks

“他有整整一个抽屉。” “他为什么要给你一块糖果?”艾米丽问。 我能看出来她嫉妒了。 “因为我没有带来我目前的项目，”我解释说。 “等一下!”安德烈生气地说。 “你因为表现不好被送到校长办公室，他非但没有奚落你，反而给了你一块糖果?” 这不公平!我带来了三条时事新闻，却没有得到一块糖果。” “也许你应该试着不要总是那么完美，”我说。 “你可以吃我的胡萝卜棒，安德里亚。” 我喜欢惹安德里亚生气。 她认为

she knows everything. Whenever we have a homework assignment, she does extra work just to show Miss Daisy how smart she is and to make the rest of us look bad. "Mr. Klutz told me he's my pal," I said! biting off a big piece of the chocolate bar right in front of Andrea's face. "He said I could come in for a candy bar any time I want one." That last part wasn't exactly true, but it was fun to say anyway. "The principal should give candy to students who complete their assignments," Andrea said. "Not to kids who don't." "Yeah," Emily sniffed. She looked like

她什么都知道。每当我们有家庭作业时，她就做额外的工作，只是为了向黛西小姐展示她有多聪明，让我们其他人看起来很糟糕。 “克鲁茨先生告诉我他是我的朋友，”我说!当着安德里亚的面咬下一大块巧克力。 “他说我随时都可以来拿糖果。” 最后这句话并不完全正确，但说出来还是很有趣的。 安德烈说:“校长应该给完成作业的学生发糖果。” “不是对那些不懂的孩子。”“是啊，”艾米丽嗤之以鼻。 她看起来像

she might run out of the room crying like she usually does for no reason. "I want to go to the principal's office!" my best friend Ryan announced. "Me too!" Michael agreed. "I want a candy bar!"

她可能会像往常一样无缘无故地哭着跑出房间。 “我要去校长办公室!”我最好的朋友瑞安宣布。 “我也是!”迈克尔表示同意。“我想要一块糖果棒!”

They all watched while I finished off the candy. I licked the extra chocolate off my fingers and rubbed my tummy, just to make sure they would know how good it was.

他们都看着我把糖果吃完。 我舔掉手指上多余的巧克力，揉了揉肚子，只是为了让他们知道它有多好吃。
