6 Ch6-The Truth About Miss Small

Chapter 6 The Truth About Miss Small At our school the cafeteria and the auditorium are the same room, so it's called the cafetorium. But all the kids call it the vomitorium ever since some kinder-garten kid barfed in there last year. I sit at a lunch table with Ryan and Michael and a few other boys. Andrea

第六章斯莫尔小姐的真相在我们学校，自助餐厅和大礼堂是同一个房间，所以它被称为食堂。 但是自从去年有个幼儿园的孩子在里面吐了以后，所有的孩子都叫它“呕吐室”。 我和瑞恩、迈克尔以及其他几个男孩坐在一起吃午饭。 安德里亚

and Emily and some of their friends sit at the table next to ours. Sometimes for fun we peel the paper off our straws and shoot them at the girls. They usually laugh, except for the time I hit Emily in the face and she cried. I gave my tuna sandwich to Ryan, and he gave me his Scooter Pie. Ryan will eat anything, even disgusting vegetables. One time me and Michael mixed up some milk and ketchup and mayonnaise in a cup. It was really gross, and I thought I was gonna throw up just looking at it. Ryan said he would drink it if we gave him a pack of baseball cards. So we gave him a pack of baseball cards and he

艾米丽和她们的一些朋友坐在我们旁边的桌子上。 有时为了好玩，我们把吸管上的纸扯下来，朝女孩们开枪。 他们通常都笑，除了我打了艾米丽的脸，她哭了。 我把我的金枪鱼三明治给了瑞恩，他给了我他的摩托车派。 瑞恩什么都吃，甚至是恶心的蔬菜。 有一次我和迈克尔在一个杯子里混合了一些牛奶、番茄酱和蛋黄酱。 真的很恶心，我看着都想吐了。 瑞恩说如果我们给他一包棒球卡他就喝。 所以我们给了他一包棒球卡，然后他

drank it (the drink, not the baseball cards). Ryan is weird. "That Miss Small must be seven feet tall," Ryan said. "If I was as tall as she is," Michael said, "I wouldn't be a gym teacher. I'd be a professional basketball player." "I would be a weatherman," Ryan said.

喝了它(饮料，不是棒球卡)。 瑞恩很奇怪。“那个斯莫尔小姐一定有七英尺高，”瑞恩说。 “如果我和她一样高，”迈克尔说，“我就不会当体育老师了。 我会成为一名职业篮球运动员。” “我会成为一名天气预报员，”瑞安说。

"Why?" I asked. "Because when you're that tall, you can tell it's raining before anybody else. So you can predict the weather." "Tall people can reach stuff on the top shelf without even having to stand on a chair, too," Michael said. "But I guess it must be really hard to tie your shoes

“为什么?”我问。“因为当你那么高的时候，你可以比别人先知道下雨了。 这样你就可以预测天气了。” 迈克尔说:“高个子的人甚至不用站在椅子上就能够到架子顶层的东西。” “但是我猜系鞋带一定很困难

when you're so tall." "She should tie her shoes first and then put them on," Ryan said. At the table next to ours, Andrea Young turned around with her big dumb face. "You can't tie your shoes and then put them on," she said. "Can too," I said, and I shot my straw wrapper at Andrea. "I only tie my shoes once— the day my mom buys them. What's the point of untieing a shoe if you're just gonna have to tie it all over again the next day?" "Yeah," Ryan and Michael agreed. Girls just don't have common sense. "Boys are dumbheads," Andrea said,

你都这么高了。”“她应该先系鞋带，然后再穿上，”瑞恩说。 在我们旁边的桌子上，安德里亚·杨带着她那张傻乎乎的大脸转过身来。 “你不能先系好鞋带再穿上，”她说。 “我也可以。”我说着，把我的草皮朝安德里亚射去。 “我只系一次鞋带——在我妈妈买鞋的那天。 如果你第二天又要重新系上，那么解开鞋带还有什么意义呢?”“是啊，”瑞恩和迈克尔同意道。 女孩就是没有常识。 “男孩都是傻瓜，”安德里亚说，

giggling, and then she turned back to her own table. I wish a basketball backboard would crush her. "I thought we were gonna be playing sports in Fizz Ed," Ryan complained. "When I saw how tall Miss Small was, I was sure she was gonna let us play basketball." "Maybe she's not our Fizz Ed teacher at all," Michael said. "Did you ever think of that? Maybe she's a mutant alien freak from another planet where everybody is tall." "Yeah," Ryan said. "Maybe she's a fake. Maybe she came to earth to kidnap our real Fizz Ed teacher and bring her back to her planet."

她咯咯地笑着，然后转身回到自己的桌子上。 我真希望篮球篮板能碾碎她。 “我还以为我们要穿着Fizz Ed运动呢，”瑞恩抱怨道。 “当我看到斯莫尔小姐那么高的时候，我确信她会让我们打篮球的。” “也许她根本就不是我们的碳酸饮料老师，”迈克尔说。 “你想过吗?” 也许她是来自另一个星球的变种外星人，那里的人都很高。” “是的，”瑞恩说。“也许她是假的。 也许她来地球是为了绑架我们真正的Fizz Ed老师，把她带回她的星球。”
