7 Ch7-Teacher for a Day

Chapter 7 Teacher for a Day The news about the big chocolate party blew through the school like a hurricane. Even kids who were allergic to chocolate wanted to go, just so they could see Mr. Klutz kiss a pig on the lips. "Where is he going to get a pig?" Ryan asked during lunch the next day.

第七章一天的老师关于盛大巧克力派对的消息像飓风一样传遍了学校。 即使是对巧克力过敏的孩子也想去，这样他们就能看到克鲁茨先生亲吻一头猪的嘴唇。 “他上哪儿去弄猪呢?”第二天午餐时，瑞恩问道。

"He could try A.J.'s house," Andrea said. "That's so funny I forgot to laugh," I said. "I'm not entirely sure that pigs have lips," said Emily. "Of course they have lips," I insisted. "If they didn't have lips, how could they whistle?"

“他可以试试A.J.”安德烈说。 “太好笑了，我都忘了笑了，”我说。 “我不完全确定猪有嘴唇，”艾米丽说。 “它们当然有嘴唇，”我坚持说。 “如果他们没有嘴唇，他们怎么能吹口哨呢?”

"You know," Ryan pointed out, "Mr. Klutz is just trying to trick us into doing lots of math problems. That's why we're having a chocolate party." "Who cares?" Michael said. "As long as we get the chocolate."

“你知道，”瑞安指出。 克鲁茨只是想骗我们做很多数学题。 这就是为什么我们要举办巧克力派对。” “谁在乎?”迈克尔说。 “只要我们能拿到巧克力就行。”

"I think that only students who do math problems should be allowed to come to the chocolate party," said Andrea. "Could you possibly be any more boring?" I asked her. As it turned out, everybody was doing math problems. The whole school started doing math problems like crazy. Even Ryan. You would have thought that Mr. Klutz was giving us gold and diamonds instead of chocolate. "I did math problems for twenty minutes last night," Ryan bragged while we were waiting for Miss Daisy after recess. "Oh, yeah?" Michael said. "Well, I did math problems for forty minutes last night.

安德里亚说:“我认为只有做数学题的学生才应该被允许参加巧克力派对。” “你还能再无聊一点吗?”我问她。 结果是，每个人都在做数学题。 整个学校都开始疯狂地做数学题。 甚至瑞安。你会以为克鲁茨先生送我们的是黄金和钻石而不是巧克力。 “昨晚我做了20分钟的数学题，”休息后我们在等Daisy老师的时候，Ryan吹嘘道。 “哦,是吗?”迈克尔说。“嗯，我昨晚做了40分钟的数学题。

Forty is twice as many as twenty. See? I just did another math problem right there!" "Well I did math problems for an hour last night," I said. "That's fifty whole minutes." "An hour is sixty minutes, dumbhead," Andrea told me. I was going to tell her that Sixty Minutes was a TV show my parents watch, but Mr. Klutz suddenly burst into our classroom. He told us that Miss Daisy had a dentist appointment and we would have a substitute teacher for the rest of the afternoon... Mr. Klutz! We all gasped. "You're not a teacher!" I told him.

四十是二十的两倍。 看到了吗?我刚刚又做了一道数学题!”“嗯，我昨晚做了一个小时的数学题，”我说。 “整整五十分钟。” “一小时等于六十分钟，笨蛋，”安德里亚告诉我。 我正要告诉她《六十分钟》是我父母看的一个电视节目，但是笨手笨脚先生突然冲进了我们的教室。 他告诉我们黛西小姐约了牙医，下午剩下的时间我们会有一个代课老师…… 傻瓜先生!我们都倒吸了一口气。“你不是老师!”我告诉了他。

"I used to be a teacher," he said. "I taught for many years before I became a principal." "What did you teach?" Ryan asked. "Physics," he said. "What's that?" I asked. "Is that like phys ed?" asked Michael. "Mr. Klutz, do you know that this is second grade?" Andrea pointed out. "Physics is something high school students study." "Poppycock!" said Mr. Klutz. "You're never too young to learn something new. You may find you're smarter than you think." "Well, if you say so."

“我以前是个老师，”他说。 “在成为校长之前，我教了很多年书。” “你教什么?”瑞恩问道。 “物理，”他说。“那是什么?”我问。 “这和体育课一样吗?”迈克尔问。 “克鲁茨先生，你知道这是二年级吗?”安德里亚指出。 物理是高中生学习的东西。 “胡说!”克鲁兹说。 “学习新东西永远不会嫌年轻。 你可能会发现你比你想象的要聪明。” “好吧，既然你这么说。”
