7 Ch7-Fizz Ed Is Dumb

Chapter 7 Fizz Ed Is Dumb "Okay, everybody, it's time to line up," Miss Daisy announced later in the week. "Line up for what?" we all asked. "Fizz Ed!" Miss Daisy said. "Yippee!" shouted all the girls. "Boo!" shouted all the boys. "What's the matter?" Miss Daisy asked.

“好了，各位，该排队了，”黛西小姐在本周晚些时候宣布。 “排队干什么?”我们都问。 “饮料Ed !”黛西小姐说。 “耶!”所有的女孩都喊了起来。 “嘘!”所有的男孩都喊道。 “怎么啦?”黛西小姐问。

"I thought you boys would love Fizz Ed." "Fizz Ed is dumb," I told her. "All we do is balance feathers and square-dance." Miss Daisy said we had to go to Fizz Ed anyway, and we walked a million hundred miles to the gym. Emily was the line leader, and I was the door holder. "Good morning, boys and girls," said Miss Small. "Today we are going to do something really exciting. We're going to learn how to juggle scarves!" "What!" I said, "You've gotta be kidding!" But she wasn't. Miss Small grabbed a bunch of colorful scarves and gave three of them to each of us. Then she put on a little demonstration.

"我以为你们会喜欢汽水" “Fizz Ed很蠢，”我告诉她。 “我们所做的就是平衡羽毛和方块舞。” 黛西小姐说我们无论如何都要去Fizz Ed，我们走了一百万英里去健身房。 艾米丽是队伍的领队，我是看门的。 “早上好，孩子们，”斯莫尔小姐说。 “今天我们要做一些真正令人兴奋的事情。 我们要学玩杂耍围巾!”“什么!”我说:“你在开玩笑吧!”但她不是。 斯莫尔小姐抓起一捆彩色围巾，给了我们每人三条。 然后她做了一个小小的示范。

First she threw one scarf up in the air. Then she threw another one up in the air. Then she threw the third one up in the air. Then she caught the first one as it was falling and threw it back up in the air again. And she kept doing that with all three scarves over and over. It looked pretty cool, I had to admit. "How can you juggle three scarves with just two hands?" I asked. "It's easy because the scarves float in the air," Miss Small said. "This will improve your eye-hand coordination. With a little practice, you'll be able to juggle three balls, or three clubs, or three of just about anything."

她先把一条围巾抛向空中。 然后她又把另一个扔到空中。 然后她把第三个扔到空中。 然后她接住了第一个正在下落的球，又把它抛向空中。 她不停地用这三条围巾做这个动作。 我不得不承认，它看起来很酷。 “你怎么能用两只手杂耍三条围巾呢?”我问。 斯莫尔小姐说:“这很简单，因为围巾会飘在空中。” 这将提高你的手眼协调能力。 稍加练习，你就能同时玩三个球，或者三根木棍，或者任何东西中的三根。”

Miss Small blew her whistle and told us to give it a try. I threw a scarf up in the air, and then I threw another one. By the time I threw the third scarf up in the air, the first scarf had already fallen on the floor and the second scarf had landed on my head. "My scarves are busted," I complained. "They don't float long enough. I need another set of scarves." Miss Small gave me three more scarves, but the same thing happened. Every time I tried to grab a scarf out of the air, the other two were on the ground already. Juggling scarves was dumb, I decided.

斯莫尔小姐吹口哨叫我们试一试。 我向空中扔了一条围巾，然后又扔了一条。 当我把第三条围巾抛向空中时，第一条围巾已经掉在地上，第二条围巾落在了我的头上。 “我的围巾坏了，”我抱怨道。 “它们漂浮的时间不够长。 我还需要一套围巾。” 斯莫尔小姐又给了我三条围巾，但同样的事情又发生了。 每次我试图从空中抓住一条围巾时，另外两个已经在地上了。 我觉得耍围巾很蠢。

It wasn't a sport. They don't have any World Series for scarf juggling. There's no scarf-juggling Super Bowl. They don't give out any medals for scarf juggling in the Olympics. Juggling scarves was just about as dumb as curling. I looked around to see how Ryan and Michael were doing. They weren't very good at juggling the dumb scarves either. In fact, there was only one kid in the whole class who was keeping all three scarves up in the air. Andrea Young! "Way to go, Andrea!" yelled Miss Small. "You have excellent eye-hand coordination." Then she gave Andrea some

这不是一项运动。他们没有什么世界大赛的围巾杂耍。 没有“超级碗”比赛。 在奥运会上耍围巾是不会颁发奖牌的。 耍围巾和玩冰壶一样蠢。 我环顾四周，看看瑞恩和迈克尔怎么样了。 他们也不太会玩哑巴围巾。 事实上，全班只有一个孩子把三条围巾都举在空中。 安德里亚年轻!“干得好，安德烈!”斯莫尔小姐喊道。 “你的手眼协调能力很好。” 然后她给了安德里亚一些
