9 Ch9-Mr. Klutz and the Secret Drawer

Chapter 9 Mr. Klutz and the Secret Drawer "You two," Miss Daisy said. "Go to Mr. Klutz's office. Now." "Oooooooooooooh!" I thought Andrea was going to kill me on the way to the principal's office. She was really mad. Andrea had never been to Mr. Klutz's office before. That's because she never does anything wrong.

“你们两个，”黛西小姐说。 “去克鲁茨先生的办公室。 现在。”“Oooooooooooooh !”我以为安德里亚会在去校长办公室的路上杀了我。 她真的很生气。安德里亚以前从未去过克鲁茨先生的办公室。 那是因为她从不做错事。

"I can't believe I'm in trouble," Andrea said. "It's all your fault, A.J." "Relax," I said. "I've been to the principal's office plenty of times. Mr. Klutz is a good guy." Mr. Klutz was sitting at his desk talking on the phone when we arrived. He is not only the principal of the school, but he

“我不敢相信我有麻烦了，”安德里亚说。 “都是你的错，aj。” “放轻松，”我说。“我去过校长的办公室很多次了。 克鲁茨先生是个好人。”我们到达时，克鲁茨先生正坐在办公桌前打电话。 他不仅是这所学校的校长，而且他

also has no hair at all. Once he let everybody in our class touch his head. It was cool. "Are we going to be punished?" Andrea asked when Mr. Klutz hung up the phone. She was all nervous and talked in a quiet voice. "I don't believe in punishing children," Mr. Klutz said. "I believe in rewarding children for doing good things. Now tell me, why can't you two get along?" "He says mean things to me," Andrea said. "She thinks she knows everything," I said. "He hates everything."

也没有头发。有一次他让我们班的每个人都摸他的头。 很酷。“我们会受到惩罚吗?”克鲁茨先生挂掉电话时，安德里亚问道。 她非常紧张，说话声音很轻。 “我不赞成惩罚孩子，”克鲁茨说。 “我认为应该奖励做了好事的孩子。 现在告诉我，你们俩为什么不能和睦相处?”“他对我说刻薄的话，”安德里亚说。 “她自以为无所不知，”我说。 “他什么都讨厌。”

"Not everything. Just you." Mr. Klutz leaned forward in his chair and rubbed his forehead. Grown-ups always rub their foreheads when they are thinking. I guess it must help their brains work better. When you get old, your brain doesn't work as good anymore so you have to rub your forehead to get it going again. "What can we do to solve this problem?" Mr. Klutz asked. "Kick A.J. out of school." "Kick Andrea out of school." "I'm not kicking anyone out of school," Mr. Klutz said. "The two of you are going to have to live with each other."

“不是一切。只有你。” 克鲁茨先生在椅子上向前倾着身子，揉了揉额头。 大人们在思考的时候总是揉着额头。 我想这一定能帮助他们的大脑更好地工作。 当你变老的时候，你的大脑不再那么好工作了，所以你必须揉你的额头让它重新运转起来。 “我们能做些什么来解决这个问题?”克鲁茨问道。 "把aj赶出学校" “把安德里亚赶出学校。” “我不会把任何人赶出学校，”克鲁茨说。 “你们两个要住在一起了。”

"In the same house?" I asked. "I thought you said you don't punish kids." Mr. Klutz laughed even though I didn't say anything funny. Then he took a key and opened one of his desk drawers. The drawer was filled all the way up to the top with candy. Chocolates. Lollipops.

“在同一所房子里?”我问。 “我记得你说过你不会惩罚孩子的。” 尽管我没说什么好笑的话，克鲁茨先生还是笑了。 然后他拿了一把钥匙，打开了他的一个抽屉。 抽屉从头到尾都塞满了糖果。 巧克力。棒棒糖。

Caramels. He had like a whole candy shop in his drawer. I decided right there that I want to be a principal when I grow up. "Would you like some of this?" Mr. Klutz asked us. Andrea and I nodded our heads and licked our lips. "Here's the deal. If you two can go a full day without fighting, I will give you each a candy bar tomorrow." "How about two candy bars?" I suggested. "One candy bar each," Mr. Klutz said. "That's my final offer. Take it or leave it." I don't like Andrea. She doesn't like me either. But we both like candy bars.

焦糖。他抽屉里有一整个糖果店。 从那时起，我就决定长大后要当校长。 “你想来点这个吗?”克鲁茨先生问我们。 安德里亚和我点了点头，舔了舔嘴唇。 “事情是这样的。如果你们俩能一天不打架，明天我就给你们每人一块糖果。” “两块糖怎么样?”我建议。 “每人一块糖果，”克鲁茨说。 “这是我的最后报价。要么接受，要么放弃。” 我不喜欢安德莉亚。她也不喜欢我。 但我们都喜欢糖果棒。
