6 Ch6-Welcome to Cafe LaGrange

Chapter 6 Welcome to Café LaGrange When we walked into the vomitorium, it looked completely different. I thought that maybe we were in the wrong place. The lights were turned down so low you could hardly see. There was a sign in the corner that said "Café LaGrange." The tables were covered with tablecloths and

当我们走进咖啡馆时，它看起来完全不同了。 我想也许我们来错地方了。 灯关得很暗，你几乎看不见。 角落里有一块牌子，上面写着“咖啡馆拉格朗日”。 桌子上铺着桌布

fake candles that were really electric lights. There was even music! A few of the fifth graders in the orchestra were playing violins. It sounded like the noise you make when you pinch the end of a balloon and let the air out. "Oooh!" Emily said. "It's beautiful! It's like going to a fancy restaurant." If there's one thing I hate more than school and vegetables, it's going to fancy restaurants. But I didn't say anything. We were all on our best behavior because we wanted to make a good impression on Ms. LaGrange. "Wait until Ella Mentry comes to our school and sees this," Andrea said. "She's going to be really impressed."

假蜡烛其实是电灯。 甚至还有音乐!管弦乐队里有几个五年级的学生在拉小提琴。 这听起来就像你捏气球末端放气时发出的声音。 “噢!”艾米丽说。“这是漂亮!就像去一家高级餐厅一样。” 如果有一件事比学校和蔬菜更让我讨厌的话，那就是去高级餐厅。 但我什么也没说。 我们都表现得很好，因为我们想给她留下好印象。 拉格朗日。“等艾拉·门特里到我们学校来看看吧，”安德里亚说。 “她一定会印象深刻的。”

Suddenly Ms. LaGrange came out of the kitchen. "Bonjour!" she said in that French talk. "Welcome to Café LaGrange." "Bonjour," we all said back. "The specials of the day are French Sloppy Joe sandwiches, French salisbury steak, French chili surprise, and French tuna casserole," said Ms. LaGrange. "It sounds yummy!" said Andrea, who compliments grown-ups no matter what they do. We got in line. It all looked like the same old disgusting foods to me, except that they had the word "French" in front of them. "Do you have any French peanut

突然，拉格朗日女士从厨房里走了出来。 “你好!”她用法语说。 “欢迎来到拉格朗日咖啡馆。” “你好，”我们都说。 “今天的特色菜是法式邋遢乔三明治、法式索尔兹伯里牛排、法式辣椒惊喜和法式金枪鱼砂锅，”她说。 拉格朗日。“听起来很好吃!”无论大人做什么，她都会赞美他们。 我们排了队。在我看来，这些都和那些恶心的老食物没什么两样，只不过它们的前面有“法国”这个词。 “你有法式花生吗?

butter and jelly sandwiches?" I asked. Whoever invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwich was a genius. "No, but I have French mashed potatoes," Ms. LaGrange said. I looked at the mashed potatoes. They looked pretty normal, except for one thing. There were letters written in them. The letters were Y-A-W-Y-E. It didn't even spell a word. "Ms. LaGrange, what does 'YAWYE' mean?" asked Ryan. "Oh, that is my little secret," she replied. "Maybe I will tell you someday. Who would like to try French peas and carrots?"

黄油和果冻三明治?”我问。 发明花生酱和果冻三明治的人是个天才。 “没有，但我有法式土豆泥。” 拉格朗日表示。我看着土豆泥。 他们看起来很正常，除了一件事。 里面写着信。 字母是Y-A-W-Y-E。 它甚至没有拼出一个单词。 “拉格朗日女士，‘YAWYE’是什么意思?”瑞恩问。 “哦，这是我的小秘密，”她回答说。 “也许有一天我会告诉你。 谁想尝尝法式豌豆和胡萝卜?”

"Me! Me! Me!" said Andrea, who loves every horrible-tasting thing that's good for you. "Not me," I said. "Did you ever try peas or carrots, Mister A.J.?"

“我!我!我!”安德烈说，她喜欢每一种味道可怕但对身体有益的东西。 “不是我，”我说。“你吃过豌豆和胡萝卜吗，A.J.先生?”

"No." "Well, how do you know you don't like them if you don't try them?" she asked. "I never tried eating dirt," I said, "but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like that." "Won't you please try my peas and carrots, Mister A.J.," she said. "Pretty please?" "No!" Suddenly Ms. LaGrange picked up one of those spray bottles that lunch ladies use to clean off the tables. She pointed it at me. Then she squirted water in my face! "Hey!" I shouted. "What's the big idea?" "Anyone who refuses to try peas and carrots will be sprayed," said Ms. LaGrange.

“没有。”“嗯，如果你不尝试，你怎么知道你不喜欢它们呢?”她问。 “我从来没有试过吃土，”我说，“但我很确定我不会喜欢那样。” “A.J.先生，请尝尝我的豌豆和烂豆好吗?”她说。 “漂亮吗?”“不!”突然女士。 拉格朗日拿起了一个喷雾瓶，是午餐女士们用来清洁桌子的。 她用枪指着我。然后她往我脸上喷水!“嘿!”我叫道。 “有什么了不起的?”“任何拒绝尝试豌豆和胡萝卜的人都将被喷上杀虫剂。” 拉格朗日。
