1 Ch1-Boring, Snoring Mr. Loring

Chapter 1 Boring, Snoring Mr. Loring My name is A.J. and I hate school. I hate reading. I hate writing. I hate arithmetic. But there's one horrible subject that I really hate more than anything else. Music. Music is so dumb! Music is the most

第一章无聊、打鼾的洛林先生我叫A.J. 我讨厌学校。我讨厌读书。 我讨厌写作。我讨厌算术。 但有一个可怕的科目我真的很讨厌。 音乐。音乐太蠢了!音乐是最

boring subject in the history of the world. Why do we need music class in school, anyway? It's not like I'm going to grow up to be a singer. When I grow up, I'm going to be a professional dirt bike racer. In first grade last year, the music teacher, Mr. Loring, made us sing all these totally corny songs from prehistoric times, like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore." Mr. Loring loves boats, I guess. He's weird. He's about a million hundred years old, and he has long gray hair. Mr. Loring told us that when he was a kid back in the last century, TV wasn't even invented yet. Can you imagine living in a world with-

世界历史上无聊的课题。 我们学校为什么要上音乐课呢? 我又不会长大后成为一名歌手。 当我长大了，我要成为一名专业的越野车赛车手。 去年一年级的时候，音乐老师洛林先生让我们唱史前时代的老歌，比如“划，划，划你的船”和“迈克尔，把船划上岸”。 我猜洛林先生喜欢船。 他很奇怪。他大约一百多岁了，有一头长长的白发。 洛林先生告诉我们，在上世纪他还是个孩子的时候，电视还没有被发明出来。 你能想象生活在一个…的世界吗

out TV? It must have been horrible! I would die if I didn't have TV. Mr. Loring's favorite song for us to sing was "Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?" You know the song: Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? A.J. stole the cookie from the cookie jar. Who me? Yes you. Couldn't be. Then who? Ryan stole the cookie from the cookie jar. I used to like that song, but Mr. Loring made us sing it so many times that I

电视吗?那一定很可怕!如果我没有电视我会死的。 洛林老师最喜欢让我们唱的歌是“谁从饼干罐里偷走了饼干?”你知道这首歌:谁从饼干罐里偷了饼干? a。j。从饼干罐里偷了饼干。 我谁?是的,你。不能。 那谁?瑞恩从饼干罐里偷了饼干。 我以前很喜欢那首歌，但洛林先生让我们唱了太多次，我

never wanted to eat another cookie for the rest of my life. Mr. Loring's other favorite song was "Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." That song got really old too. If any monkeys ever jumped on my bed, I would sell the bed. That's disgusting! I don't even like it when my sister jumps on my bed. Forget about monkeys. "Everybody line up!" said my teacher, Miss Daisy, after we finished pledging the alle-

我这辈子再也不想吃饼干了。 洛林最喜欢的另一首歌是《五只小猴子在床上跳》(Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed)。 那首歌也很老了。 如果有猴子跳到我的床上，我就把床卖掉。 太恶心了!我甚至不喜欢我妹妹跳到我床上。 忘了猴子吧。“大家都排好队!”在我们宣誓完毕后，我的老师黛西小姐说

giance. "Line up for what?" we all asked. "It's time to go to music," Miss Daisy said. "Yippee!" said Andrea Young, this really annoying girl with curly brown hair. "Boo!" said just about everybody else. Nobody except Andrea and her friend Emily wanted to go see boring, snoring Mr. Loring. Andrea loves everything about school.

giance。“排队干什么?”我们都问。 “该去听音乐了，”黛西小姐说。 “耶!”安德里亚·杨(Andrea Young)说，她是一个非常讨厌的棕色卷发女孩。 “嘘!”几乎所有人都说。 除了安德里亚和她的朋友艾米丽，没有人想去看无聊的、打鼾的洛林先生。 安德里亚喜欢学校的一切。
