8 Ch8-Nursery Rhyme Week

Chapter 8 Nursery Rhyme Week The only way to prove that Mrs. Roopy was dressing up in silly costumes and pretending to be other people would be to get her fingerprints. Me and Ryan and Michael were determined to get them the next time we had library. "When do we have library this week?" we asked Miss Daisy.

第八章童谣周要证明鲁比太太穿着可笑的服装假装成别人，唯一的办法就是采集她的指纹。 我、瑞安和迈克尔决定下次去图书馆的时候买这些书。 “这周我们什么时候去图书馆?”我们问黛西小姐。

"Oh, there is no library this week," she said. "The whole school is celebrating Nursery Rhyme Week in our classrooms." "Oh man!" I said. "We wanted to go to the library." "Yeah," agreed Michael and Ryan. Miss Daisy looked all surprised. She put her hand on my forehead the way my mom does when she thinks I have a fever. "Are you sick, A.J.?" Miss Daisy said. "There must be something wrong with you if you want to go to the library. Didn't you say all books are boring?" "They are," I said. "I just want proof that Mrs. Roopy was pretending to be George Washington, Johnny Appleseed, and Neil Armstrong. We have to

“哦，这周没有图书馆，”她说。 “整个学校都在教室里庆祝童谣周。” “哦!”我说。“我们想去图书馆。” “是啊，”迈克尔和瑞恩同意道。 黛西小姐看起来很惊讶。 她把手放在我额头上，就像我妈妈以为我发烧时那样。 “你病了吗，A.J.?”黛西小姐说。 “如果你想去图书馆，你一定是有什么问题。 你不是说所有的书都很无聊吗?”“是的，”我说。 “我只是想证明鲁比太太假装成乔治·华盛顿、约翰尼·苹果籽和尼尔·阿姆斯特朗。 我们必须

get her fingerprints." "Oh, don't be silly," Miss Daisy said "Mrs. Roopy is a perfectly normal lady." Miss Daisy took out a big fat Mother Goose book. She opened it and was about to start reading when this weird-looking girl skipped into the classroom. She was all dressed up in a puffy dress and she was holding a big cane. "It's Mrs. Roopy!" we all shouted. "I'm not Mrs. Roopy," the girl said. "My name is Little Bo Peep. I seem to have lost my sheep. Do you know where I can find them?" "Nope," everybody said. "Maybe they're in the dungeon on the

拿到她的指纹。”“哦，别傻了，”黛西小姐说。 露比是一位完全正常的女士。” 黛西小姐拿出一本厚厚的鹅妈妈书。 她打开它，正要开始读，这时一个长相怪异的女孩跳进了教室。 她穿着一件蓬松的连衣裙，手里拿着一根大手杖。 “是鲁比太太!” “我不是鲁比太太，”女孩说。 “我的名字是小牧羊女。 我的羊好像丢了。 你知道我在哪里可以找到他们吗?”“不，”大家都说。 “也许他们在地下教室里。

third floor," I said. Michael tried to get her fingerprints, but Little Bo Peep went skipping out of the classroom before he could get a juice box. "That was weird," Emily said.

三楼，”我说。迈克尔想要她的指纹，但小牧羊女还没来得及拿果汁盒就蹦蹦跳跳地跑出了教室。 “真奇怪，”艾米丽说。

"What kind of a name is Peep, anyway?" I asked. Miss Daisy read us some nursery rhymes from the Mother Goose book. What kind of a name is Goose, anyway? After a while, this other girl came running into our classroom. She was holding a bucket in her hand. "It's Mrs. Roopy again!" we all shouted. "Who are you now, Mrs. Roopy?" Emily asked. "I'm not Mrs. Roopy," the girl said. "My name is Jill. I ran up a hill with my friend Jack to fetch a pail of water. But Jack fell down and broke his crown. I went running after him, but now I have no idea where he is. Have you seen him?"

“佩比到底是个什么名字?”我问。 黛西小姐给我们读了一些《鹅妈妈》书里的童谣。 鹅是个什么名字啊? 过了一会儿，另一个女孩跑进了我们的教室。 她手里拿着一个水桶。 “又是鲁比太太!” “你现在是谁了，鲁比太太?”艾米丽问。 “我不是鲁比太太，”女孩说。 “我叫吉尔。我和我的朋友杰克跑上山去打一桶水。 但是杰克摔倒了，摔断了他的王冠。 我去追他，但现在我不知道他在哪里。 你见过他吗?”

"Nope," everybody said. "Try the dungeon on the third floor," I said. "You must be thirsty from all that running," Michael said. "Have some juice." "No time for that," Jill said. "I've got to find Jack." And then she ran out of the classroom. After lunch we were at recess out in the playground when we noticed somebody sitting at the edge of the grass under a tree. We all ran over to investigate. It was Mrs. Roopy, of course, dressed up in another silly costume. "Are you Little Bo Peep again?" Emily asked. "Heavens, no!" said Mrs. Roopy. "My

“不，”大家都说。“去三楼的地牢试试，”我说。 “跑了这么久，你一定渴了。”迈克尔说。 “喝点果汁。”“没时间了。”吉尔说。 “我得去找杰克。”然后她跑出了教室。 午饭后，我们正在操场上休息，这时我们注意到树下的草地边上坐着一个人。 我们都跑过去调查。 当然是鲁比太太，她穿着另一套傻乎乎的服装。 “你又是小牧羊女吗?”艾米丽问。 “天哪，不!”鲁比太太说。 “我的
