9 Ch9-Mrs. Roopy's Problem

Chapter 9 Mrs. Roopy's Problem Something was wrong with Andrea. She wasn't raising her hand in class every second. She wasn't bragging to everybody how much she knew about everything. She wasn't pestering me like she usually did. It was like she was sick or something. "What's the matter, Andrea?" Emily asked her during recess.

第九章鲁比太太的问题安德烈有点不对劲。 她不是每一秒都在课堂上举手。 她没有向所有人吹嘘她对所有事情都知道得多。 她不像往常那样缠着我。 就像她病了一样。 “怎么了，安德烈?”艾米丽在课间休息时问她。

"I'm worried about Mrs. Roopy," Andrea said. "I'm afraid she might have a serious personal problem." "You're the one with the serious personal problem," I said. "Mrs. Roopy is like the coolest lady in the history of the world. Would you rather have some boring librarian who didn't dress up in

“我很担心鲁比太太，”安德里亚说。 “我担心她可能有严重的个人问题。” “你才是那个有严重个人问题的人，”我说。 “鲁比太太是世界历史上最酷的女士。 你宁愿找个无聊的图书管理员吗

costumes or anything and all she did was read boring books to us?" "No, but my mother is a psychologist," Andrea said. "She told me that some sick people have more than one personality. Like one minute they think they are one person, and a minute later they actually think they are somebody completely

服装之类的，而她所做的就是给我们读无聊的书?”“不是，但我妈妈是心理学家，”安德里亚说。 “她告诉我，有些病人有不止一种人格。 就像前一分钟他们认为自己是一个人，后一分钟他们真的认为自己是一个完整的人

different. The whole time they actually think they are all these people. I'm afraid that Mrs. Roopy might have this problem. She can't tell the difference between the real world and fantasy." "Wow," Michael said. "That sounds pretty serious." "We've got to help her!" Emily said. "Yeah," I said. "A librarian who doesn't know the difference between fiction and nonfiction is in big trouble." "But what can we do?" Ryan asked. We all put on our thinking caps. Well, not really. There's no such thing as a thinking cap. But you know what I mean. After a good long think, I came up with a great plan.

不同。一直以来，他们都认为自己就是这些人。 我担心鲁比夫人可能会有这个问题。 她分不清现实世界和幻想世界的区别。” “哇，”迈克尔说。“听起来很严重。” “我们必须帮助她!”艾米丽说。 “是的，”我说。“一个不知道小说和非小说之间区别的图书管理员有大麻烦了。” “但是我们能做什么呢?”瑞恩问道。 我们都戴上了思考帽。 嗯，不完全是。根本就没有思考帽这种东西。 但是你知道我的意思。经过长时间的思考，我想出了一个好计划。
