11 Ch11-Just Admit It!

Chapter 11 Just Admit It! It was no use. Even after we proved to Mrs. Roopy that she was dressing up as all these characters, she still wouldn't admit it. "Mrs. Roopy is in denial," Andrea said when we got back to the classroom. "I'll bet you don't know what that means, A.J."

第11章承认吧!这没有用。 即使我们向鲁比太太证明她打扮成所有这些角色，她仍然不承认。 当我们回到教室时，安德里亚说:“鲁比太太拒绝接受现实。” “我打赌你不知道那是什么意思，aj。”

"Sure I know what 'denial' means," I said. "It's that river in Africa." "Not the Nile, dumbhead! Denial! It means she can't admit to herself that she has a problem." "So what are we supposed to do now?" Michael asked. "There's only one thing we can do," Andrea said. "We've got to tell Mr. Klutz." Mr. Klutz is the principal, which means he is like the king of the school. One time I got into trouble and was sent to Mr. Klutz's office. When I got there, he didn't punish me. He gave me a candy bar. Mr. Klutz is nuts! We told Miss Daisy that we had to speak with Mr. Klutz and that it was a matter of

“我当然知道‘否认’是什么意思，”我说。 “是非洲的那条河。” “不是尼罗河，笨蛋!”否认!这意味着她不能承认自己有问题。” “那我们现在该怎么办呢?”迈克尔问道。 “我们只能做一件事，”安德里亚说。 “我们得告诉克鲁茨先生。” 克鲁茨先生是校长，这意味着他就像学校的国王。 有一次我惹上了麻烦，被送到了克鲁茨先生的办公室。 当我到那里时，他没有惩罚我。 他给了我一块糖果。克鲁茨先生疯了!我们告诉黛西小姐，我们必须和克鲁茨先生谈谈，这是一件

life and death. She called the office and in a few minutes Mr. Klutz arrived. Mr. Klutz has no hair at all. We told him all about the crazy things Mrs. Roopy had been doing and how Andrea's mother is a psychologist and she thinks Mrs. Roopy might have a big problem. "We're really worried about her," Emily said. "Hmmm, this sounds pretty serious," Mr. Klutz said. "Maybe we'd better go have a little chat with Mrs. Roopy." Mr. Klutz led us down the hall to the library. When

生死攸关她给办公室打了电话，几分钟后，克鲁茨先生来了。 克鲁茨先生根本没有头发。 我们把鲁比太太做的疯狂的事情都告诉了他，还有安德里亚的妈妈是一位心理学家，她认为鲁比太太可能有很大的问题。 “我们真的很担心她，”艾米丽说。 “嗯，这听起来很严重，”克鲁茨说。 “也许我们最好去和鲁比太太聊聊。” 克鲁茨先生领我们穿过大厅来到图书馆。 当

we got there, Mrs. Roopy was lying on the floor under the tree house. She was holding her head like it had been hit. Not only that, but Mrs. Roopy was really fat. It looked like she had gained about a million hundred pounds! "What happened, Mrs. Roopy?" Michael asked. jmkfho. "Are you okay?"

当我们到达那里时，鲁比太太正躺在树屋下面的地板上。 她抱着她的头，就像被击中了一样。 不仅如此，鲁比太太真的很胖。 看起来她的体重增加了一百万磅!“发生什么事了，鲁比太太?”迈克尔问道。 “你还好吗?”

"Mrs. Roopy? Who's that?" Mrs. Roopy said. "My name is Humpty Dumpty. I was sitting on that wall up there, and I had a great fall." "Don't tell me," Andrea said. "All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put you back together again. Right?" "How did you know?" Mrs. Roopy asked. "You're not Humpty Dumpty!" Andrea said. "You're Mrs. Roopy, our librarian! Just admit it!" "It doesn't matter who it is," Mr. Klutz said. "There has been an injury. I need to write a report and give it to the Board of Education." "You can give it to me," I told Mr. Klutz.

“Roopy太太?那是谁啊?”鲁比太太说。 “我叫汉普蒂·邓普蒂。 我当时坐在那堵墙上，重重地摔了一跤。” “别告诉我，”安德烈说。 “国王所有的马和国王所有的人都不能把你拼好。 对吗?”“你怎么知道的?”鲁比太太问。 “你不是胖墩儿!”安德里亚说。 “你是鲁比太太，我们的图书管理员!”承认吧!”“不管是谁，”克鲁茨说。 “有人受伤了。 我需要写一份报告交给教育委员会。” “你可以把它给我，”我对克鲁茨先生说。

"I'm bored of education." Everybody laughed even though I didn't say anything funny. Mr. Klutz said he had to go call a doctor for Humpty Dumpty. Mrs. Roopy got up off the floor and dusted herself off. "Wait a minute," I said. "I have a question." "Yes, A.J.?" asked Mrs. Roopy. "Your name is Humpty Dumpty, right?" "Right." "What I want to know is, why did your parents name you Humpty? I mean, if their last name was already Dumpty, they could have named you John or Jim or Joe or something normal. But they had to go

“我厌倦了教育。”大家都笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。 克鲁兹先生说他得去给胖墩儿叫个医生。 鲁比太太从地板上站起来，掸去身上的灰尘。 “等一下，”我说。“我有一个问题。” “怎么了，A.J.?”鲁比太太问。 “你的名字是汉普蒂·邓普蒂，对吗?”“对的。” “我想知道的是，为什么你父母给你起名叫汉普蒂?” 我是说，如果他们的姓已经是Dumpty了，他们可能会给你起个约翰，吉姆，乔或者其他正常的名字。 但他们必须离开
