13 Ch13-Stuff Like This Happens Every Day

Chapter 13 Stuff Like This Happens Every Day What was that weird hissing sound? "Hey!" I whispered to Ryan, who was in the sleeping bag next to mine. "Stop that hissing!" "I'm not hissing," he replied. "You are, too." We went back and forth like that for a while, until suddenly there was an ear-piercing shriek. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK!" "There's something in my sleeping bag!" screamed Emily. Instantly, everybody was awake and jumping out of their sleeping bags. Emily started running around, freaking out. "What is it?" Andrea asked. "Maybe it's a blue-tongued skink!" I yelled. "It's a bug!" Emily shrieked. "It must be that rare hissing cockroach from Madagascar!" screamed Andrea.

那奇怪的嘶嘶声是什么? “嘿!”我低声对瑞安说，他睡在我旁边的睡袋里。 “别嘶嘶叫了!”“我没有发出嘶嘶声，”他回答。 “你也是。”我们就这样来回走了一会儿，突然传来一声刺耳的尖叫。 “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK !”“我的睡袋里有东西!”艾米丽尖叫道。 立刻，每个人都醒了，从睡袋里跳了出来。 艾米丽开始四处乱跑，吓坏了。 “什么事?”安德里亚问道。 “也许是一只蓝舌头的石龙子!”我喊道。 “这是一只虫子!”艾米丽尖叫起来。 “一定是马达加斯加那只稀有的嘶嘶蟑螂!”安德里亚尖叫道。

"It's General Muffin!" Michael yelled. "Run for your lives!" shouted Neil the nude kid. Ryan's mom and Mr. Macky and the rest of the grown-ups tried to calm everybody down, but it was no use. Nobody wanted the cockroach to touch them. We were all screaming and jumping around. Finally, Ms. Krup came running over. "What's the matter?" she yelled. "That disgusting cockroach was in Emily's sleeping bag!" Andrea shouted. "Now we can't find it! I thought you said you captured it." "I just said General Muffin was in a safe place," Ms. Krup explained. "I didn't want you kids to be scared." "Well, we're scared now!" Andrea shouted. "Poor General Muffin," said Ms. Krup. "Who cares about General Muffin?" Andrea yelled. "It's a cockroach!"

“是松饼将军!”迈克尔喊道。 “逃命!”裸体小孩尼尔喊道。 瑞恩的妈妈、麦基先生和其他大人们试图让大家冷静下来，但无济于事。 没人想让蟑螂碰他们。 我们都尖叫着，跳来跳去。 最后，克鲁普女士跑了过来。 “怎么了?”她喊道。 “那只恶心的蟑螂在艾米丽的睡袋里!”安德里亚喊道。 “现在我们找不到了!”我记得你说你抓住了它。” “我只是说松芬将军在一个安全的地方。” Krup解释道。“我不想让你们这些孩子害怕。” “嗯，我们现在害怕了!”安德里亚喊道。 “可怜的松饼将军。” Krup。“谁在乎松饼将军?”安德里亚喊道。 “是蟑螂!”

Man, that was a first. Andrea actually yelled at a grown-up! "There it is!" Michael suddenly shouted. "There's the cockroach!" "Where?" "There?" "Emily!" Andrea shouted. "It's crawling on your back!" "EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!" "Let's kill it!" all the boys yelled, and we started chasing after Emily. "Don't kill General Muffin!" shouted Ms. Krup. "He's very rare!" "Kill it! Kill it! Kill it!" we all chanted. Emily was running around like her pants were on fire, and me and all the other boys were chasing her. That's when the most amazing thing in the history of the world happened. Do you remember that giant bear that was next to the Giganotosaurus? Well, while we were chasing Emily around, Neil the nude kid— he... uh... ran into it.

伙计，这可是第一次。安德里亚居然对一个成年人大吼大叫!“在那儿!”迈克尔突然喊道。 “蟑螂在那儿!”“在哪里?”“有吗?”“艾米丽!”安德里亚喊道。 “它在你背上爬呢!”“EEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK !”“我们杀了它吧!”所有的男孩喊道，然后我们开始追艾米丽。 “别杀松饼将军!” Krup。“他非常罕见!”“杀了它!杀了它!杀了它!”我们齐声高呼。 艾米丽像着了火一样跑来跑去，我和其他男孩都在追她。 就在那时，世界历史上最神奇的事情发生了。 你还记得南方巨兽龙旁边的那只大熊吗? 我们追着艾米丽到处跑的时候，尼尔那个裸体小孩…… 嗯…我碰到了。

"Watch out!" Ryan's mom yelled. The giant bear started to topple over. And do you know where it landed? Right on Emily! It was hilarious. A real Kodak moment. You should have been there. "EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!" Emily screamed, freaking out on the floor. "There's a dead bear on me! Get it off! Get it OFF!" Sheesh, what a crybaby! So there was a giant hissing cockroach in her sleeping bag and a dead bear fell on top of her. Big deal. Stuff like that happens all the time. Finally, Mr. Macky and Mr. Docker were able to pull the bear off Emily. Ms. Krup caught General Muffin with a net and put him in a cage. After all the excitement was over, the grown-ups brought us into a room for breakfast. They gave us cow chips and scrambled dinosaur eggs, but I don't think they were real. "I hate natural history," Emily said. "Natural history is cool," said Michael. We were still eating when Ms. Krup came running into the room. "Hey, who ate all the candy that was next to the candy machine?" she asked.

“小心!”瑞恩的妈妈喊道。 大熊开始倒在地上。 你知道它落在哪里了吗? 对，艾米丽!太搞笑了。 一个真正的柯达时刻。你应该去的。 “EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK !”艾米丽尖叫着，在地板上吓坏了。 “我身上有一只死熊!”把它弄下来!把它弄掉!”天哪，真是个爱哭鬼!所以她的睡袋里有一只巨大的嘶嘶的蟑螂，一只死熊落在她身上。 大不了的。这种事经常发生。 最后，麦基先生和多克先生终于把熊从艾米丽身上拉开了。 克鲁普女士用网抓住了松饼将军，把他关在笼子里。 在所有的兴奋结束后，大人们把我们带到一个房间吃早餐。 他们给了我们牛肉片和炒恐龙蛋，但我觉得那不是真的。 “我讨厌自然史，”艾米丽说。 “自然史很酷，”迈克尔说。 我们还在吃饭的时候。 克鲁普跑进房间。 “嘿，谁吃光了糖果机旁边的所有糖果?”她问。

I looked at Michael. Michael looked at Andrea. Andrea looked at Emily. Emily looked at me. "It must have been General Muffin," I lied. "Yeah," Michael said. "You told us he likes candy." We probably shouldn't have lied about General Muffin eating the candy. But Ms. Krup shouldn't have lied to us about capturing General Muffin. Lying isn't a very nice thing to do. But I guess sometimes even grown-ups do it. "The museum will open in five minutes," somebody announced. It was time for us to leave. We rolled up our sleeping bags. Ryan's mom said we could look in the gift shop for a few minutes until Mrs. Kormel arrived with the bust Andrea felt bad about what happened to Emily, so she bought her a glow-in-the-dark dinosaur bone toothbrush. Neil the nude kid bought a box of fake moose poop that was really just chocolate. As we were leaving the museum, Ms. Krup gave each of us a diploma that said we were Junior Nature Lovers. There was a picture of a dinosaur on it. I'm going to put mine up in my bedroom. All in all, the natural history museum was almost not boring. "Can we come back next week?" I asked Ms. Krup as we lined up at the door. "Uh, well," said Ms. Krup, "now that you are official Junior Nature Lovers, you... uh.. don't have to EVER come back here again."

我看着迈克尔。迈克尔看着安德烈。 安德烈看着爱米丽。艾米丽看着我。 “一定是松饼将军。”我撒了个谎。 “是的，”迈克尔说。“你告诉过我们他喜欢糖果。” 也许我们不该谎称松饼将军吃了糖果。 但克鲁普女士抓捕松饼将军的事不该对我们撒谎。 说谎并不是一件好事。 但我想有时候成年人也会这么做。 “再过五分钟博物馆就要开门了。”有人宣布。 我们该走了。 我们把睡袋卷起来。 瑞恩的妈妈说我们可以在礼品店看几分钟直到科梅尔太太带着半身像来了安德里亚对艾米丽的遭遇感到很难过，所以她给艾米丽买了一把夜光恐龙骨牙刷。 裸体小孩尼尔买了一盒假驼鹿便便其实是巧克力。 当我们离开博物馆的时候。 克鲁普给了我们每人一张文凭，上面写着我们是初级自然爱好者。 上面有一张恐龙的照片。 我要把我的放在卧室里。 总而言之，自然历史博物馆几乎不无聊。 “我们下星期能再来吗?”我问她。 当我们在门口排队的时候。 “嗯，好吧，”克鲁普女士说，“既然你是正式的初级自然爱好者，你…… 呃. .我再也不用来这里了。”

"Bingle boo," said Mrs. Kormel as we piled on the bus to go home. "What did you learn about?" "Poop," I told her. Well, that's pretty much what happened on the field trip. Maybe Ms. Krup will never find out that we ate all the candy. Maybe General Muffin will stay in his cage from now on. Maybe someday Emily will forget that a giant hissing cockroach crawled into her sleeping bag and that a dead bear fell on her. Maybe Mr. Docker and Mr. Macky will cut their nose hair so they'll stop snoring. Maybe Ms. Krup will stop dressing up like a wild yak and get interested in something besides poop. And maybe we'll be able to talk Mrs. Daisy into taking us on another field trip. But it won't be easy!

当我们挤上公共汽车回家时，科尔梅尔太太说:“太好了。” “你学到了什么?”“便便，”我告诉她。 这就是实地考察时发生的事。 也许克鲁普女士永远不会发现我们吃光了所有的糖果。 也许从现在开始，松饼将军就只能待在笼子里了。 也许有一天艾米丽会忘记一只发出嘶嘶声的大蟑螂爬进了她的睡袋，一只死熊落在了她身上。 也许多克先生和麦基先生会剪掉他们的鼻毛，这样他们就不会打鼾了。 也许克鲁普女士会不再穿得像一头野牦牛，转而对便便以外的东西感兴趣。 也许我们能说服黛西太太再带我们去一次实地考察。 但这并不容易!
