11 Ch11-Silent Lunch

Chapter 11 Silent Lunch It was the next day. The green traffic light was on in the vomitorium. "How was Andrea's party, A.J.?" Ryan asked me, poking Michael in the side and giggling. "It was cool," I lied. "There was a rock climbing wall and a half pipe for skate-

第十一章沉默的午餐这是第二天。 体育馆里的绿灯亮着。 "安德莉亚的派对怎么样，A.J. "瑞安问我，戳了戳迈克尔的侧面，咯咯地笑着。 “很酷。”我撒谎道。“那里有一面攀岩墙，还有一个半滑冰场

boarding. At the end I got a goody bag, and there was a remote control car in it." No way I was going to tell them I sat around drinking tea with Andrea and her friends. While we were talking. I was playing with my fork and spoon on the table. And when I put my spoon across my fork, the most amazing thing in the history of the world happened. "I figured it out!" I shouted. "Figured what out?" asked Ryan and Michael. "I just figured out how the Egyptians picked up those big rocks to build the pyramids!"

登机。最后我得到了一个礼物袋，里面有一辆遥控车。” 我不可能告诉他们我和安德里亚还有她的朋友们坐在一起喝茶。 在我们谈话的时候。我在桌子上玩叉子和勺子。 当我把勺子放在叉子上时，世界历史上最神奇的事情发生了。 “我弄明白了!”我叫道。 “想出了什么?”瑞恩和迈克尔问。 “我刚刚弄明白了埃及人是如何捡起那些大石头建造金字塔的!”

"How?" "Look," I said, scooping up some of Ryan's carrots and peas with my spoon. "Imagine these peas and carrots are big rocks. Nobody could pick one up. But if they could slide them onto a big scoop like this, and put the scoop across a big fork like this, it would be easier to pick up." I put the spoonful of carrots and peas across my fork, like the spoon and fork were a little seesaw. "You're right!" Michael said, smashing his fist down on the table. The only problem was, Michael's fist missed the table and hit the long end of

“如何?”“看，”我说着，用勺子舀起瑞恩的一些胡萝卜和豌豆。 “把这些豌豆和胡萝卜想象成大石头。 没人能捡起一个。但如果他们能把它们滑到像这样的大勺子上，然后把勺子放在像这样的大叉子上，就会更容易拿起来。” 我把一勺胡萝卜和豌豆放在叉子上，就像勺子和叉子是一个小跷跷板。 “你是对的!”迈克尔说着，把拳头重重地砸在桌子上。 唯一的问题是，迈克尔的拳头没打中桌子，打在了长尾

the spoon instead. The peas and carrots went flying up in the air. They hit the ceiling and then they stuck up there! The ceiling was splotched with peas and carrots. It was the coolest thing in the history of the world! You should have been there! Me and Ryan and Michael looked up at the ceiling. We were excited that I had solved the mystery of the pyramids. That's when Miss I Know Everything came over to our table. She looked all mad. "A.J.," Andrea said, "you ruined my birthday party!" "I did not!"

用勺子代替。豌豆和胡萝卜飞向空中。 它们撞到天花板上，然后卡住了!天花板上布满了豌豆和胡萝卜。 这是世界历史上最酷的事情!你应该去的!我、瑞安和迈克尔抬头看着天花板。 我们都很兴奋，因为我解开了金字塔之谜。 就在这时，“无所不知”小姐走到我们桌边。 她看上去疯了。“aj，”安德里亚说，“你毁了我的生日派对!”“我没有!”

"Did too!" We went back and forth like that a few more times, but then something totally amazing happened. Remember those peas and carrots that were stuck to the ceiling? Well! I guess they didn't stick very well, because they started falling down— on Andrea's head! "Eeeeeek!" Andrea screamed. "I can't see! I've got carrots in my eyes!" "That's okay, Andrea," I said. "Carrots are good for your eyes! Ryan and Michael thought that was hilarious, but I guess Andrea didn't. She picked up Michael's bowl of spaghetti and dumped it over my head.

“也是!”我们又这样来回了几次，但后来发生了一件完全不可思议的事情。 还记得那些粘在天花板上的豌豆和胡萝卜吗? 好!我猜它们粘得不太好，因为它们开始掉下来——砸在安德里亚的头上!“Eeeeeek !”安德里亚尖叫。 “我看不见!”我眼睛里有胡萝卜!”“没关系，安德里亚，”我说。 “胡萝卜对眼睛有好处!”瑞恩和迈克尔觉得很好笑，但我想安德里亚不这么认为。 她拿起迈克尔的那碗意大利面，泼在我头上。

Nobody dumps spaghetti over my head and gets away with it. I picked up Ryan's bowl of macaroni and cheese and pushed it in Andrea's face. "Food fight! Food fight!" everybody started chanting. I'm not exactly sure what happened next. Things sort of went out of control. Kids started shouting and throwing stuff at each other. Mr. Klutz turned on the red light, but it didn't help. "This is a silent lunch!" Mr. Klutz

没人能把意大利面倒在我头上还能逃脱惩罚。 我拿起瑞恩的那碗奶酪通心粉，把它推到安德莉亚的脸上。 “食物大战!食物大战!”每个人都开始高喊。 我不太确定接下来发生了什么。 事情有点失控了。 孩子们开始大喊大叫，互相扔东西。 克鲁茨先生打开了红灯，但无济于事。 “这是一顿无声的午餐!”笨蛋先生
