8 Ch8-Mr. Klutz Puckers Up

Chapter 8 Mr. Klutz Puckers Up When Mr. Klutz got back from the hospital, we were all relieved to hear that he hadn't broken any bones. He was limping, though, and told us he would have to use a cane for a week. We were afraid he might call off the chocolate party, but he was more excited about it than ever.

当克鲁兹先生从医院回来时，听说他没有骨折，我们都松了一口气。 不过，他走路一瘸一拐的，他告诉我们，他要用拐杖一个星期。 我们担心他会取消巧克力派对，但他却比以往任何时候都兴奋。

Everybody in the whole school got involved doing math problems so we could win the party, even the teachers. During library period, Mrs. Roopy asked us questions like, "If the library had a

整个学校的每个人都参与做数学题，这样我们才能赢得聚会，甚至老师也不例外。 在图书馆期间，鲁比太太问我们一些问题，比如:“如果图书馆有

hundred books and you checked out fifty of them, how many would be left in the library?" During music period, Mr. Hynde asked us questions like, "If the school only has ten trumpets and six kids sign up to take trumpet lessons, how many more kids can sign up for trumpet lessons?" Miss Daisy made a big tote board so we would know how many math problems we had completed. Every day, she tallied up all the math problems on her tote board. It wasn't long before the school had finished a million math problems. Andrea did the problem that put us

一百本书，你借了五十本，图书馆里还剩下几本?”在音乐课上，Hynde老师问了我们这样的问题:“如果学校只有10支小号，有6个孩子报名上小号课，那么还能有多少孩子报名上小号课?”黛西小姐做了一个大记事板，这样我们就可以知道我们完成了多少道数学题。 每天，她都把所有的数学题写在她的手提袋上。 没过多久，学校就做完了一百万道数学题。 安德里亚做了那个问题

over the top— of course. I hate her. On the night of the chocolate party, you should have seen the gym! They had music and games, and tables were set up with chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, chocolate muffins, and even broccoli covered with chocolate. Yuck! By the end of the party, I thought I was going to throw up. It was the greatest night of my life. At nine o'clock somebody came in with this big pig on a leash. I don't know where they got it. The zoo, I guess. We all watched as the pig was brought over to Mr. Klutz. He wrinkled his face up and acted like he was all disgusted

当然是在最上面。 我恨她。巧克力派对那天晚上，你真该看看健身房!他们有音乐和游戏，桌子上摆满了巧克力饼干、巧克力蛋糕、巧克力松饼，甚至还有覆盖着巧克力的大肠杆菌。 讨厌的东西!晚会结束时，我想我都要吐了。 那是我一生中最美好的夜晚。 九点钟，有人牵着一头拴着链子的大猪进来了。 我不知道他们从哪弄来的。 我想是动物园吧。我们都看着猪被带到克鲁茨先生面前。 他皱起了脸，一副很反感的样子

(Mr. Klutz, that is, not the pig). When he bent over and kissed the pig on the lips, the whole school went crazy.

(克鲁茨先生，指的不是猪)。 当他弯下腰亲吻小猪的嘴唇时，整个学校都疯了。

Even the pig freaked out, oinking and squealing and running around the gym until the grown-ups were able to catch it. It was a real Kodak moment, if you ask me.

就连那头猪也吓坏了，它又叫又叫，围着体育馆跑来跑去，直到大人们把它抓住。 要我说，那是真正的柯达时刻。
