5 Ch5-A Visit from Mr. Klutz

Chapter 5 A Visit from Mr. Klutz When we came back to class, I noticed that this kid named Robbie who sits in front of me was missing. "Where's Robbie?" I asked Miss Daisy. "His mother came to pick him up," she said "Robbie wasn't feeling well." That was weird. Robbie never told

当我们回到教室时，我注意到坐在我前面的那个叫罗比的孩子不见了。 “罗比在哪儿?”我问黛西小姐。 “他妈妈来接他，”她说，“罗比感觉不舒服。” 这很奇怪。罗比从未说过

anyone he was sick. Miss Daisy asked us to clear off our desks and be on our best behavior, because Mr. Klutz was coming in to talk with us. Soon Mr. Klutz came in with his bald head. It is so shiny! He must wax it or something. Mr. Klutz is weird. "Hello, second graders," Mr. Klutz said. "I came in to tell you about a new program at Ella Mentry School. We're going to become a MEAN school." "That doesn't sound very nice," said Andrea Young. "MEAN stands for Make Excellence A Necessity," said Mr. Klutz. He wrote

他生病了。黛西小姐要我们收拾桌子，表现好一点，因为克鲁茨先生要进来和我们谈话。 不一会儿，秃头的克鲁茨先生走了进来。 它是如此闪亮!他一定是给它打蜡什么的。 克鲁茨先生很奇怪。“二年级的同学们，你们好，”克鲁茨说。 “我是来告诉你艾拉门特瑞学校的一个新项目的。 我们要成为一所吝啬的学校。” “这听起来不太好，”安德里亚·杨说。 “MEAN的意思是让卓越成为必需品，”克鲁茨说。 他写了

MEAN on the chalkboard and told us that all the parents and teachers and students were going to work really hard so our school would be rated the smartest school in the whole state. Mr. Klutz went on and on about the MEAN program. I wasn't paying much attention. It was really boring. Finally Mr. Klutz finished talking, and he asked if any of us had questions. I raised my hand, and he called on me. "Does Miss Lazar have super powers?"

他告诉我们，所有的家长、老师和学生都要非常努力地工作，这样我们学校就会被评为全州最聪明的学校。 克鲁茨先生滔滔不绝地讲着MEAN项目。 我没怎么注意。 真的很无聊。最后，克鲁茨先生讲完了，他问我们有没有什么问题。 我一举手，他就叫我。 “拉扎尔小姐有超能力吗?”

"Uh, no, A.J.," Mr. Klutz said. "She's just a regular custodian." "Regular?" asked Ryan. "Then how did she climb the wall?" "That was simple rock climbing," Mr. Klutz said. "It's not that difficult." "Miss Lazar is cool," some kid said. "That's not a question," said Mr. Klutz. "Does anyone have any questions?" "Is the toilet in the boys' bathroom haunted?" I asked. You see, my friend Billy around the corner once told me that sometimes a toilet will overflow because there's a ghost inside it pushing the water out. "Of course the toilet is not haunted,"

“呃，不，aj，”克鲁茨说。 “她只是一个普通的看门人。” “普通的?”瑞恩问。“那她是怎么爬上墙的?”“那就是简单的攀岩，”克鲁茨说。 “没那么难。” “拉扎尔小姐很酷，”一个孩子说。 “这不是问题，”克鲁茨说。 “有人有什么问题吗?”“男生浴室的厕所闹鬼吗?”我问。 你知道，我住在街角的朋友比利曾经告诉我有时候马桶会溢水是因为里面有个鬼在把水挤出来。 “厕所当然不会闹鬼。”

said Mr. Klutz. "Don't be silly." "That was cool when Miss Lazar fixed the toilet," Michael said. "That's not a question, Michael," said Mr. Klutz. "That was cool when Miss Lazar fixed the toilet, wasn't it?" Michael asked. "Yeah," everybody agreed.

克鲁茨说。“别傻了。” “拉扎尔小姐修马桶的时候真酷，”迈克尔说。 “这不是问题，迈克尔，”克鲁茨说。 “拉扎尔小姐修马桶的时候很酷，是不是?”迈克尔问道。 “是啊，”大家都同意。

"Okay, that's enough about Miss Lazar," said Mr. Klutz. "Does anyone have any other questions?" "Mr. Klutz, do you wish you were Super Custodian instead of being a plain old boring principal?" Ryan asked. "I have to go now," said Mr. Klutz.

“好了，拉扎尔小姐的事说得够多了，”克鲁茨先生说。 “还有其他问题吗?”“先生。 克鲁茨，你希望自己是超级保管人，而不是一个普通乏味的校长吗?”瑞恩问道。 “我现在得走了，”克鲁茨说。
