9 Ch9-Give Peas a Chance

Chapter 9 Give Peas a Chance "I'm not going." "You have to go." Just my luck. My mother and Andrea's mother are friends. They met when me and Andrea were in preschool together. They even play tennis with each other. So I would have to go to Andrea's stupid birthday party.

第九章给豌豆一个机会“我不去。” “你必须去。”偏偏就是这样倒霉 我妈妈和安德里亚的妈妈是朋友。 他们是在我和安德莉亚一起上幼儿园的时候认识的。 他们甚至一起打网球。 那我就得去安德莉亚那愚蠢的生日派对了。

I looked at the invitation again. YOU ARE INVITED TO ANDREA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY! IT'S A TEA PARTY! A tea party? What kind of a dumb birthday party is that? Kids are supposed to have bowling parties or skating parties or movie parties. Who wants to go to a party and drink tea? I hate tea. The first thing I did when I got to school the next day was to find Andrea. She was at her cubby putting her backpack away. "I thought you said you weren't going to invite me to your birthday party," I whispered to her.

我又看了看请柬。 你被邀请参加安德里亚的生日聚会!这是一个茶话会!茶话会? 这是什么愚蠢的生日派对啊? 孩子们应该参加保龄球派对、滑冰派对或电影派对。 谁想去派对喝茶? 我讨厌茶。第二天我到学校后做的第一件事就是找到安德里亚。 她在她的小柜子前整理她的背包。 “我记得你说过你不会邀请我参加你的生日聚会，”我低声对她说。

"I didn't want to invite you," she said. "My mother made me." "Well, I'm not going," I said. "Good." Ryan and Michael were goofing around by the water fountain. "Hey, are you guys going to Andrea's tea party?" I asked. "What tea party?" asked Ryan. "I'd rather die," Michael said. "Why are you invited?" "Uh, no," I lied. "I was just wondering." I didn't want Michael and Ryan to know Andrea invited me to her party. "So how did you know Andrea was having a tea party?" Michael asked.

“我本来不想邀请你的，”她说。 “我妈妈逼我的。”“好吧，我不去了，”我说。 “好”。赖安和迈克尔在饮水机旁闲荡。 "你们要去安德莉亚的茶话会吗"我问。 “什么茶会?”瑞恩问。 “我宁愿去死，”迈克尔说。 “为什么邀请你?”“呃，没有。”我撒了个谎。 “我只是想知道。”我不想让迈克尔和瑞恩知道安德里亚邀请我参加她的派对。 “那你怎么知道安德里亚要开茶话会?”迈克尔问道。

"I don't know," I said. If you're ever stuck for an answer and you don't know what to say, just say "I don't know." It works every time. Well, almost every time. "A.J. you were invited to Andrea's party, weren't you?" asked Ryan. "No." "I saw you whispering to Andrea," Michael said. "Hey, everybody, A.J.'s going to a tea party!" "I am not!" "Oooh!" Ryan said. "A.J. and Andrea are in love!" "When are you gonna get married?" asked Michael.

“我不知道，”我说。如果你想不出答案，又不知道该说什么，那就说“我不知道”。 每次都很有效。嗯，几乎每次都是。 “a。j。你被邀请去参加安德里亚的派对，是吗?”瑞恩问。 “没有。”“我看见你在跟安德烈耳语，”迈克尔说。 “大家好，A.J.她要去参加一个茶话会!”“我没有!”“噢!”瑞恩说。 " a。j。和安德莉亚相爱了!"“你打算什么时候结婚?”迈克尔问。

If those guys weren't my best friends, I would hate them. Fortunately Miss Daisy clapped her hands to shut everybody up. We pledged the allegiance, and then we learned some more about ancient Egypt. Miss Daisy asked if anybody figured out how they picked up those big rocks to build the pyramids. Nobody raised their hand. Then we worked on our "Welcome, Ella Mentry" banner until lunchtime. When I got to the front of the lunch line, Ms. LaGrange winked at me. "You look cold, Mister A.J.," she said. "Like you've been in a freezer. How about some nice hot French peas and

如果他们不是我最好的朋友，我会讨厌他们的。 幸运的是，黛西小姐拍着手让大家闭嘴。 我们宣誓效忠，然后我们学习了更多关于古埃及的知识。 黛西小姐问有没有人知道他们是如何捡起那些大石头建造金字塔的。 没有人举手。然后我们制作“欢迎艾拉·门特里”的横幅，直到午餐时间。 当我排到午餐队伍的最前面时。 拉格朗日对我眨了眨眼睛。“你看起来很冷，a.j.先生，”她说。 “就像你在冰箱里呆过一样。 来点法式热豌豆怎么样

carrots to warm you up?" "No, thanks." "Oh, come on," she said, grabbing for her squirt bottle. "Give peas a chance." Ms. LaGrange didn't squirt me with her squirt bottle. She did something even weirder. She started singing! "All we are saying, is give peas a chance." And then she sang it again, really loud. "AII we are saying, is give peas a chance." It was a really annoying song, but the next thing I knew, all the teachers joined in. "All we are saying, is give peas a chance."

吃胡萝卜暖和暖和吗?”“不,谢谢。” “哦，得了吧，”她说着，伸手去拿她的喷水瓶。 “给豌豆一个机会吧。”拉格朗日女士没有用她的喷瓶喷我。 她做了更奇怪的事。 她开始唱歌了!“我们想说的是，给豌豆一个机会。” 然后她又唱了一遍，声音很大。 “我们想说的是，给豌豆一个机会。” 这首歌真的很烦人，但接下来我知道的是，所有的老师都加入了进来。 “我们想说的是，给豌豆一个机会。”
