The T-Shirt Logo Contest

Hank frowned at the sketch on his desk. His class was having a T-shirt contest for Earth Day, and each student had to create a logo. Then Mrs. Getty would choose a winner and order T-shirts for everyone. Hank had sketched a green frog with a speech bubble that read Think Green. But he didn’t like his design very much.

汉克皱着眉头看着桌上的草图。 他的班级为地球日举办了一场T恤比赛,每个学生都必须制作一个标志。 然后,盖蒂夫人会选出一位优胜者,为每个人订购T恤衫。 汉克画了一只绿色青蛙的草图,上面有一个演讲气泡,上面写着“绿色思考”。 但他不太喜欢他的设计。

He added a superhero cape and a new speech bubble: Fight for Earth. “ That’s better, ” he thought. “ But—” Anna suddenly poked him with her pencil. “ Cool logo, ” she whispered. “ Thanks. ” Hank was still frowning. “ I don’t like it. ” “ I do. I hate to draw and—”

他添加了一件超级英雄斗篷和一个新的演讲泡泡: 为地球而战。“那更好,”他想。“但是——” 安娜突然用铅笔戳了戳他。“很酷的标志,”她低声说道。 ”谢谢。”汉克仍然皱着眉头。“我不喜欢。”

” Anna and Hank! ” Mrs. Getty said sharply. ” You’re supposed to be writing book reviews—not talking. ” ” Sorry, ” Hank mumbled. “ It’s time for math now, ” the teacher said to the class. “ You can finish your reviews later—for homework. ” Everyone groaned.

“安娜和汉克!”盖蒂夫人尖锐地说。 “你应该写书评而不是说话。” “对不起,”汉克喃喃地说。“现在是数学时间了,”老师对全班同学说。 ”你可以稍后完成复习作业。”每个人都在呻吟。

As Hank flipped his notebook closed, a burst of air sent papers flying off his desk. Sighing, he scooped them up. “ Ugh, ” he thought. He hadn’t even finished reading his book yet. Writing this dumb book review would take forever.

汉克把笔记本翻过来合上时,一阵空气把文件从桌子上飞了出来。 他叹了口气,把它们捞了起来。“啊,”他想。 他甚至还没读完他的书。 写这篇愚蠢的书评需要很长时间。

Hank started his homework right after dinner, but as he read, his thoughts kept drifting to the T-shirt contest. “ I’ll just draw for a few minutes, ” he thought. “ Then I’ll finish reading. ” Hank quickly sketched some ideas. Next he used colored pencils to add color and details to several designs.

汉克刚吃完晚饭就开始了他的家庭作业,但当他阅读时,他的思绪一直飘到T恤比赛上。 ”我只画几分钟,”他想。“那我就读完了。” 汉克很快勾勒出一些想法。 接下来,他用彩色铅笔为一些设计增添色彩和细节。

He didn’t notice the time until his phone suddenly beeped. “ Ack! ” he cried. “ My book review! I lost track of time! ” Hank reached for his phone. Before he could stop himself, he searched the internet for the title of his book. A link popped up, which took him to a website . . . with hundreds of book reviews.

直到电话突然响起,他才注意到时间。 ”确认!”他哭了。“我的书评!我忘了时间!” 汉克伸手去拿手机。他还没来得及阻止自己,就在网上搜索他的书名。 弹出一个链接,把他带到了一个网站……上面有数百篇书评。
