6 Ch6-Klutzstock

Chapter 6 Klutzstock My mother wouldn't drive me to Antarctica to live with the penguins. "Why not?" I asked. "Because I don't want to miss the big love festival!" she said. "All the other parents are going to be there!" It was the worst day of the year—

我母亲不愿开车带我去南极洲和企鹅住在一起。 “为什么不?”我问。“因为我不想错过这个盛大的爱情节!”她说。 “所有其他家长都会去的!”这是一年中最糟糕的一天

Valentine's Day. The L day! And to make things even worse, I had to go to school with my mom. When we got to the field behind Ella Mentry School, there was a big sign across the soccer goal: WELCOME TO KLUTZSTOCK! A stage was set up with speakers on each side. Parents, teachers, and kids were spreading out blankets on the grass. Some of them were dressed like hippies. Everybody was making peace signs and saying stuff like "Groovy!" and "Far-out!" Andrea and Emily saw me and came over. They were wearing tie-dyed shirts, sandals, headbands, and flowers in their hair.

情人节。胜利日!更糟糕的是，我不得不和我妈妈一起上学。 当我们到达埃拉门特里学校后面的球场时，足球门前有一个很大的标志:欢迎来到克卢茨斯托克!舞台布置好了，两边各有扬声器。 家长、老师和孩子们把毯子铺在草地上。 有些人穿得像嬉皮士。 每个人都做着和平的手势，说着“太棒了!”和“太棒了!”安德里亚和艾米丽看到我就过来了。 她们穿着扎染的衬衫、凉鞋、发带，头上插着鲜花。

"Isn't this groovy, Arlo?" said Andrea. "We're flower children!" "Far-out!" Emily said. Ugh! They were even more annoying than usual. I got away from them and walked around until I spotted Michael, Ryan, and Neil the nude kid. "Who do you think the surprise guest is gonna be?" Neil asked. "I bet it'll be our old music teacher, Mr.

“这不是很好吗，阿乐?”安德烈说。 “我们是花童!”“走在时代前端的!”艾米丽说。 啊!他们甚至比平时更烦人。 我离开了他们，四处走动，直到我看到了迈克尔、瑞安和那个裸体孩子尼尔。 “你觉得惊喜嘉宾会是谁?”尼尔问。 “我敢打赌，一定是我们的老音乐老师。

Hynde," Ryan said. "Remember when he came back to school and—" Ryan didn't get the chance to finish his sentence, because Mr. Louie got up onstage and started talking into the microphone. "Walnut Street is closed, man!" he said "Far-out!" "Far-out!" everybody yelled. "Happy Valentine's Day," Mr. Louie said. "We're here to groove on three hours of peace and music. So kick back and dig the vibes. If you get thirsty, be sure to use the water fountain next to the stage." The first act was Mr. Klutz. He played

莱恩说。“还记得他回学校的时候——”莱恩没来得及说完这句话，因为路易先生站到台上，开始对着麦克风讲话。 “核桃街关门了，伙计!”他说，“远着呢!”“远!”大家都喊道。 “情人节快乐，”路易说。 “我们在这里享受三个小时的宁静和音乐。 所以放轻松，好好享受吧。 如果你渴了，一定要用舞台旁边的饮水机。” 第一幕是克鲁茨先生。 他扮演

"The Star-Spangled Banner" on a kazoo. Everybody clapped. Miss Holly, the Spanish teacher, came out with a basket of fruit on her head. She sang a love song in Spanish. Miss Patty, the school secretary, played an accordion. Ms. Coco, the gifted and talented teacher, read a love poem while Ms. Hannah played a bongo drum. A bunch of the other teachers got up and sang. Mostly they were terrible. But everybody in the crowd clapped anyway. We didn't want to hurt their feelings. Between songs, me and the guys kept going to the water fountain to get drinks.

卡祖笛上的《星条旗永不落》 每个人都鼓掌。西班牙语老师霍莉小姐头上顶着一篮水果走了出来。 她用西班牙语唱了一首情歌。 学校秘书帕蒂小姐演奏手风琴。 才华横溢的可可老师朗诵了一首情诗。 汉娜打起了邦戈鼓。 一群老师站起来唱歌。 大多数都很糟糕。 但人群中的每个人还是鼓掌了。 我们不想伤害他们的感情。 在唱歌间隙，我和伙计们一直去饮水机买饮料。

"And now it's time for our special surprise guest," announced Mr. Louie. "Put your hands together for my favorite rock-and-roll band of all time... KISS!" Everybody went crazy when four guys in big boots and weird makeup got up on stage with guitars. "Far-out!" somebody in the crowd yelled. Then we realized it wasn't the real Kiss. It was our librarian, Mrs. Roopy; the bus driver, Mrs. Kormel; our science teacher, Mr. Docker; and our gym teacher, Miss Small. They were all dressed up like Kiss. Then they started playing— really loud! Mrs. Roopy was the lead singer.

“现在是我们特别的惊喜嘉宾出场的时候了，”路易先生宣布。 “请为我最喜欢的摇滚乐队鼓掌…… 吻!”当四个穿着大靴子、化着怪妆的家伙拿着吉他出现在舞台上时，每个人都疯了。 “远!”人群中有人喊道。 然后我们意识到这不是真正的吻。 是我们的图书管理员鲁皮太太;公共汽车司机科梅尔太太;我们的科学老师多克先生;还有我们的体育老师斯莫尔小姐。 他们都打扮得像Kiss。 然后他们开始演奏——非常大声!鲁比太太是主唱。
