Twenty Questions

Twenty Questions

二十个问题

Jason walked into Kids Central and sat down between Bobby and Nina. “ Ah-choo! ” Jason held a tissue to his nose. “ Do you have a cold, Jason?” Miss Shelly asked. “ No. ” Jason shrugged. “ But sometimes cats make me sneeze. ” “ There are no cats in here! ” Bobby said. “ Just people. ”

杰森走进儿童中心，在鲍比和妮娜之间坐下。 “啊啾！”杰森用纸巾捂住鼻子。 “你感冒了吗，杰森？”雪莉小姐问。 “不。”杰森耸耸肩。“但有时猫会让我打喷嚏。” “这里没有猫！”鲍比说。“只是人。”

“ Ah-choo! ” Jason sneezed again. Nina handed him another tissue. “ We’re playing a game called twenty questions today, ” Miss Shelly said. “ Jason, do you want to be ‘it’?” “ Sure. ” Jason nodded, and blew his nose.

“啊啾！”杰森又打了个喷嚏。妮娜递给他另一张纸巾。 雪莉小姐说：“我们今天在玩一个叫二十个问题的游戏。”“杰森，你想成为‘它’吗？” “当然。”杰森点了点头，擤了擤鼻子。

“ Good, ” Miss Shelly said. “ Think of a person, place, or thing. Everyone else will try to guess what it is. ” “ Hmm, ” Jason thought. “ I could choose a person. ” He thought of Ms. Folani and George Washington. But they seemed too easy. “ Maybe I’ll choose a place like Africa or Pauly’s Pizza. Or . . . ” He sneezed loudly. “ Okay, I’m ready. ”

“很好，”雪莉小姐说。 “想想一个人、一个地方或一件事。其他人都会试图猜测它是什么。” “嗯，”杰森想。“我可以选择一个人。” 他想到了福拉尼女士和乔治·华盛顿。但它们似乎太容易了。 “也许我会选择一个像非洲或保利披萨这样的地方。或者……” 他打了个喷嚏。“好的，我准备好了。”

Miss Shelly nodded and looked at the other kids. “ Jason is thinking of a person, place, or thing. You can ask him yes or no questions about it. ” “ We can only ask twenty questions, right?” Izzie asked. “ Right! ” Miss Shelly said with a smile.

雪莉小姐点点头，看着其他孩子。 “杰森在想一个人、一个地方或一件事。你可以问他是不是这个问题。” “我们只能问二十个问题，对吧？”伊兹问道。 “对！”雪莉小姐笑着说。

She handed Nina some paper and a pencil. “ Nina will record how many questions you ask. ” “ I’m first! ” Bobby said. “ Jason, is it a person, a place, or a thing?” “ You can’t ask that, Bobby, ” Izzie said. “ Jason can only answer yes or no questions. ”

她递给妮娜一些纸和一支铅笔。 “妮娜会记录你问了多少问题。” “我是第一个！”鲍比说。“杰森，这是一个人、一个地方还是一件事？” “你不能这样问，鲍比，”伊兹说。“杰森只能回答是或否的问题。”
