2 Ch2-The Librarian

Chapter 2 The Librarian Michael was the line leader. Andrea was the door holder. We went to the library, which is brand-new and didn't even exist last year when we were in first grade. They built it over the summer to replace the junky old library we used to have. A library is the part in the school where they have hundreds of books that you

迈克尔是队伍的领队。 安德里亚是看门的。 我们去了图书馆，它是全新的，去年我们上一年级的时候甚至还不存在。 他们花了一个夏天建的，用来取代我们以前那间破烂的旧图书馆。 图书馆是学校里有几百本书的地方

can bring home with you. You don't even have to pay for them. And it's not even illegal! The only problem is you have to bring the books back after you're done reading them. My friend Billy around the corner, who was in second grade last year, told me that if you don't bring back your library books on time, the librarian locks you in a dungeon under the school. I'm not sure I believe him. "Our new librarian is Mrs. Roopy," Miss Daisy told us as we lined up in the hallway outside the library. "Everybody be on your best behavior so you'll make a good impression on her." "I'm always on my best behavior," said

可以带回家。你甚至都不用付钱。 而且这根本不违法!唯一的问题是你读完书后必须把书还回来。 我的朋友比利住在街角，他去年上二年级，他告诉我，如果你不按时归还图书馆的书，图书管理员会把你锁在学校下面的地牢里。 我不太相信他。 “我们的新图书管理员是鲁比夫人，”当我们在图书馆外的走廊里排队时，黛西小姐告诉我们。 “每个人都要举止得体，这样你就会给她留下好印象。” “我总是表现得很好，”他说

Andrea Young. She made a big dopey smile at Miss Daisy. Andrea is so annoying. If somebody told her to be on her worst behavior, she wouldn't know what to do. When we went into the new library, we were shocked. Right in the middle of the room was a giant tree! It had a big tree house at the top near the ceiling and a ladder going up to it. "What's with the tree?" I asked. "Beats me," said Ryan. "How do you think they got it into the library?" "Maybe it just grew in here over the summer," guessed Michael. "Trees don't grow in libraries," said Andrea, as if she knows anything about trees.

安德里亚年轻。她对黛西小姐傻笑了一下。 安德里亚真烦人。如果有人告诉她要做最坏的事，她会不知道该怎么办。 当我们走进新图书馆时，我们都惊呆了。 屋子正中央有一棵大树!在靠近天花板的顶部有一个很大的树屋，还有一个梯子通向它。 “这棵树是怎么回事?”我问。 “我不知道，”瑞恩说。“你觉得他们是怎么把它弄进图书馆的?”“也许是夏天在这里长出来的。”迈克尔猜想。 “图书馆里不会长树，”安德烈说，好像她对树很了解似的。

"They must have built it," said Emily. "You don't build trees, dumbhead," I told Emily,

“一定是他们建的，”爱米丽说。 “你不会种树的，笨蛋，”我对艾米丽说，

and she looked all hurt like she was going to cry. The tree was

她看起来很伤心，好像要哭了。 这棵树是

really cool. Some of us started to climb it, but Miss Daisy said we had to get off because it was time for library period to start. "Where's the new librarian?" Ryan

真酷。我们中的一些人开始爬，但黛西小姐说我们必须下车，因为图书馆的时间开始了。 “新来的图书管理员在哪儿?”瑞安
