5 Ch5-The Love Machine

Chapter 5 The Love Machine I don't know if the school was really floating, but the L word was definitely in the air the day before Valentine's Day. In art class. Ms. Hannah had us cut big hearts out of red paper to put all over the hallways. In music class, Mr. Loring had us sing love songs. The lunch lady,

我不知道学校是否真的在浮动，但情人节前一天，空气中绝对弥漫着“爱”这个词。 在美术课上。汉娜老师让我们用红纸剪出大大的爱心，贴满了走廊。 音乐课上，洛林老师让我们唱情歌。 午餐大妈，

Ms. LaGrange, made us heart-shaped Tater Tots. In the library, Mrs. Roopy dressed up like Cupid and read us a book about Valentine's Day in other countries. Did you know that in Slovenia birds get married to each other? And in Korea on April 14 men who didn't get a present on Valentine's Day gather together and eat noodles. Other countries are weird.

拉格朗日女士给我们做了心形的土豆泥。 在图书馆里，鲁比太太打扮成丘比特，给我们读了一本关于其他国家情人节的书。 你知道斯洛文尼亚的鸟儿是互相结婚的吗? 4月14日，在韩国，情人节那天没有收到礼物的男人会聚在一起吃面条。 其他国家很奇怪。

That afternoon we had computer class with Mrs. Yonkers, who is a genius. One time she invented a computer that turned vegetables into junk food. She should get the No Bell Prize. That's a prize they give to people who don't have bells. Mrs. Yonkers told us that she worked all weekend on a new invention called the Love Machine. "What does it do?" Andrea asked. "It reads brain waves," Mrs. Yonkers said, "and it shows what you love and what you hate." We all wanted to try the Love Machine. Michael got to go first, because he was

那天下午我们和扬克斯夫人一起上计算机课，她是个天才。 有一次，她发明了一台能把蔬菜变成垃圾食品的电脑。 她应该得诺贝尔奖。 那是他们给没有铃铛的人的奖励。 扬克斯太太告诉我们，她整个周末都在研究一种叫做“爱情机器”的新发明。 “它有什么用?”安德里亚问道。 “它能读取脑电波，”扬克斯太太说，“它能显示出你喜欢什么，讨厌什么。” 我们都想试试爱情机器。 迈克尔先说，因为他

sitting with his hands folded. Mrs. Yonkers attached some wires to his head and turned on the Love Machine. "I... LOVE... FOOTBALL!" said a computery voice. "I HATE... GOING TO THE DENTIST." Wow! The Love Machine really worked! Michael does love football, and I know he hates going to the dentist. Mrs. Yonkers took the wires off Michael's head and attached them to Ryan's head. "I HATE... GETTING SHOTS," the voice said. "I... LOVE... BROCCOLI." Wow! Ryan really does love broccoli. He's weird. Andrea got to go next. Mrs. Yonkers

双手合十坐着。 扬克斯太太在他头上接了几根电线，打开了“爱情机器”。 “我……爱……足球!”一个嘶哑的声音说。 “我讨厌……去看牙医。” 哇!爱情机器真的起作用了!迈克尔确实喜欢足球，而且我知道他讨厌去看牙医。 扬克斯太太把迈克尔头上的电线取下来，绑在瑞恩的头上。 “我讨厌……打预防针。”那个声音说。 “我……爱……西兰花。”哇!Ryan真的很喜欢西兰花。 他很奇怪。下一个是安德里亚。 扬克斯太太

hooked the wires up to her head. "I HATE... MEAN PEOPLE," said the voice. "I... LOVE... SCHOOL." What a sick, twisted mind Andrea has! Mrs. Yonkers called on me next. She stuck the wires to my head. They felt cold. "We know what A.J. loves," Ryan said. "Skateboarding... video games... dirt bikes... football..." "I HATE... SCHOOL," the voice suddenly said. "I... LOVE... ANDREA." WHAT??????????????????? "Oooooh!" everybody went. "That thing is busted!" I told Mrs. Yonkers. "I want a do over!"

把电线挂在她的头上。 “我讨厌……卑鄙的人。”那声音说。 “我……爱……学校。”安德里亚真是个变态变态的人!扬克斯太太接着来看我。 她把电线插在我头上。 他们感到冷。“我们知道A.J. 爱，”瑞安说。“滑板… 视频游戏……污垢自行车… 足球……”“我讨厌……“学校。”那个声音突然说。 “我……爱……安德里亚。”什么 ??????????????????? 大家都叫了起来。“那东西坏了!”我告诉了扬克斯太太。 “我要重来一次!”
