4 Ch4-Dumbheads

Chapter 4 Dumbheads I took a seat in the lunchroom next to Ryan and Michael. Ryan stuck two of my carrot sticks in his nose, and I told him I'd give him a nickel if he ate them. He did! too. Me, I won't even eat carrot sticks before you stick them in your nose. "Do you think that guy was really George Washington?" Ryan asked.

我在餐厅里坐在瑞恩和迈克尔旁边。 瑞恩把我的两根胡萝卜棒塞进了他的鼻子，我告诉他如果他吃了我就给他五分钱。 他做的!了。我呢，在你把胡萝卜条塞进鼻子里之前我都不吃。 “你觉得那个人真的是乔治·华盛顿吗?”瑞恩问道。

"I don't know," Michael said. "What do you think, A.J.?" That's when Andrea Young leaned over from the next table and opened her big mouth. "That wasn't George Washington, you dumbheads!" she said. "That was Mrs. Roopy wearing a powdered wig and an army uniform."

“我不知道，”迈克尔说。 “你觉得呢，A.J.?”这时，安德里亚·杨从邻桌探过身来，张开了她的大嘴。 “那不是乔治·华盛顿，你们这些笨蛋!”她说。 “那是鲁比太太，戴着扑粉的假发，穿着军装。”

She may have been right, but I didn't want to admit it, because I hate her. Ryan took out a dollar bill from his backpack and looked at the picture of George Washington. "He sure looked like George Washington," Ryan said. "George Washington has been dead for like a hundred years!" Andrea said.

她也许是对的，但我不想承认，因为我恨她。 瑞安从背包里拿出一张一美元的钞票，看着乔治·华盛顿的照片。 “他看上去确实像乔治·华盛顿，”瑞安说。 “乔治·华盛顿已经死了差不多一百年了!”安德里亚说。

"Even if George Washington was still alive," Emily said, "I'm sure he would have more important things to do than come to our school and read us stories." That's when it hit me. If that army guy was really Mrs. Roopy dressed up as George Washington, maybe Mrs. Roopy isn't a librarian at all! "Maybe she's just pretending to be a librarian," I said, "just like she was pretending to be George Washington." "Yeah!" Michael said. "Maybe she's a kidnapper and she's got our real librarian locked up in an empty warehouse at the edge of town. I saw that in a movie once." jmkfho. "We've got to save her!" Emily said with

“即使乔治·华盛顿还活着，”艾米丽说，“我相信他也会有比来我们学校给我们讲故事更重要的事情要做。” 那是我突然想到的。如果那个军人真的是打扮成乔治·华盛顿的鲁比夫人，也许鲁比夫人根本就不是图书管理员!“也许她只是假装是个图书管理员，”我说，“就像她假装是乔治·华盛顿一样。” “是啊!”迈克尔说。“也许她是个绑架者，她把我们真正的图书管理员锁在镇边的一个空仓库里。 我曾经在一部电影里看到过。” “我们得去救她!”艾米丽说。

tears dribbling down her cheeks. Then she went running out of the room. There was only one way to solve the problem. We cleaned off our trays and went back to our classroom to ask Miss Daisy if George Washington was really Mrs. Roopy in disguise. "Don't be silly," Miss Daisy said. "As it turns out, Mrs. Roopy is absent today. She's home sick in bed. It must have been the real George Washington." But what does Miss Daisy know? Everybody knows Miss Daisy is crazy.

泪水顺着她的脸颊淌下来。 然后她跑出了房间。 只有一个办法可以解决这个问题。 我们收拾好盘子，回到教室，问黛西小姐乔治·华盛顿是不是乔装的鲁比太太。 “别傻了，”黛西小姐说。 “原来，鲁比太太今天没来。 她在家卧病在床。那一定是真正的乔治·华盛顿。” 但是黛西小姐知道什么呢? 大家都知道黛西小姐疯了。
