The Biggest Fan

Zoe was listening to Chase Gibson’s newest song while doing research for her hero project. Her project partner, Amanda, had already made a list of possible heroes—all politicians, artists, and scientists. “ Boring, ” Zoe thought after reading about Amanda’s fifth-choice pick. Amanda had already said no to Zoe’s first choice—Chase Gibson.

佐伊在为她的英雄项目做研究时，正在听蔡斯·吉布森的最新歌曲。 她的项目合作伙伴阿曼达已经列出了所有政治家、艺术家和科学家可能的英雄名单。 ”无聊，”佐伊在读到阿曼达的第五个选择后想。 阿曼达已经拒绝了佐伊的第一选择蔡斯·吉布森。

He was her favorite singer. And he could dance and act too. “ But how has he changed the world?” Amanda had asked at school that day. “ Besides, I read he isn’t even that nice. ” Zoe didn’t care. Maybe she could still persuade Amanda that Chase was talented enough to write about.

他是她最喜欢的歌手。他也会跳舞和演戏。 ”但他是如何改变世界的？”阿曼达那天在学校问过。“此外，我读到他甚至没有那么好。” 佐伊不在乎。也许她仍然可以说服阿曼达，蔡斯有足够的才华来写作。

Taking a break, she pulled up the official Chase Gibson fan website. She could hardly believe her eyes. “ Aaah! ” Zoe’s scream echoed through the house. “ Zoe, what’s wrong? What happened?” Zoe turned around to see Mom in the doorway. “ Chase Gibson is coming to the mall this Saturday to sign autographs! ”

休息一下，她打开了蔡斯·吉布森的官方粉丝网站。她简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 ”啊！”佐伊的尖叫声在屋子里回荡。 ”佐伊，怎么了？发生了什么？”佐伊转过身去，看到门口的妈妈。 ”蔡斯·吉布森将于本周六来商场签名！”

Mom frowned. “ Never scream like that, unless you’re hurt or in danger. ” “ Can I go? Please, Mom! ” “ You and Amanda are working on your project on Saturday, ” Mom said. “ Schoolwork comes first, you know. ” “ But Mom! ” Zoe pleaded. “ Zoe, no, ” Mom said firmly. “ Now turn that music down please. Dinner will be ready soon. ”

妈妈皱了皱眉。“千万不要那样尖叫，除非你受伤或有危险。” ”我能走吗？求你了，妈妈！”“你和阿曼达周六正在做你的项目，”妈妈说。 ”你知道，学业是第一位的。”“但是妈妈！”佐伊恳求道。 ”佐伊，不，”妈妈坚定地说。“现在请把音乐关小点。晚饭很快就好了。”

Zoe slouched down and lowered the volume as Mom headed downstairs. “ I have to go to the mall this Saturday, ” she thought. After waiting in line for over an hour, Zoe finally stepped up to the table.

当妈妈下楼时，佐伊懒洋洋地坐下来，降低了音量。 ”这个星期六我必须去购物中心，”她想。 在排队等候了一个多小时后，佐伊终于走上了签名台。

Seeing Chase Gibson in person made her forget all about the big lie she’d told her mother. “ Hi, Chase! I’m your biggest fan! ” Zoe said to the star. ” Can you sign some things To Zoe, without a y?” She emptied her backpack filled with Chase Gibson merchandise onto the table. Chase Gibson looked at Zoe and then at the pile of stuff.

亲眼见到蔡斯·吉布森让她忘记了她对母亲说的那个弥天大谎。 ”嗨，蔡斯！我是你最大的粉丝！”佐伊对明星说。 “你能给佐伊签一些东西吗？” 她把装满蔡斯·吉布森商品的背包倒在桌子上。 蔡斯·吉布森看着佐伊，然后看着那堆东西。
