9. Quittin'Time

CHAPTER 9 QUITTIN' TIME "We're fed up with those two boys!" cried Miss Creant. "They're always making fun of our cooking!" "Yeah!" said Mrs. DePoint. "Our food isn't that bad. l ate here once and hardly got sick at all!" "Well, I can't punish them if we don't have any proof," said Mr. Krupp. "Fine!" said the lunch ladies. "Then we quit!"

“我们受够了那两个男孩！”克林特小姐嚷道。 “他们总是取笑我们的厨艺！”“是啊！”德波因特太太说。 “我们的食物没那么糟糕。我在这里吃过一次饭，几乎没生病！”“嗯，如果我们没有任何证据，我就不能惩罚他们，”克虏伯说。 “很好！” “那我们不干了！”

"Ladies, ladies," cried Mr. Krupp. "Be reasonable! You can't just quit on such short notice." But the lunch ladies didn't care. They marched right out of Mr. Krupp's sticky green office, and that was the end of that. "Rats!" cried Mr. Krupp. "Now where am I going to find three new lunch ladies by tomorrow morning?"

“女士们，女士们，”克虏伯先生喊道。 “是合理的!你不能这么快就辞职。” 但是那些吃午饭的大妈们并不在意。 他们从克虏伯先生的绿色办公室里走了出来，就这样结束了。 “老鼠！”克虏伯先生叫道。“明天早上之前，我到哪里去找三个新的午餐女服务员？”

Suddenly there was a knock on Mr. Krupp's door. Three very large women wearing lots of makeup walked into his office. "Hello," said the first woman. "My name is, uh, Zorxette. These are my, uh, sisters, Klaxette and, umm, Jenniferette. We've come to apply for jobs as cafeteria ladies."

突然，有人敲克虏伯先生的门。 三个浓妆艳抹的大块头女人走进他的办公室。 “你好，”第一个女人说。 “我的名字是，呃，Zorxette。 这是我的姐妹，克拉西特和詹妮弗。 我们是来应聘食堂女服务员的。”

"Wow," said Mr. Krupp. "Do you have any experience?" "No," said Klaxette. "Do you have any credentials?" asked Mr. Krupp. "No," said Zorxette. "Do you have any references?" asked Mr. Krupp. "No," said Jenniferette. "You're hired!" said Mr. Krupp.

“哇，”克虏伯先生说。“你有工作经验吗？”“不，”Klaxette说。 “你有什么证件吗？”克虏伯先生问。 “不，”Zorxette说。“你有推荐信吗？”克虏伯先生问。 “不，”詹妮弗说。“你被录用了！”克虏伯先生说。

"Wonderful," said Jenniferette. "Now our plan to take over the world is — er, I mean, our plan to feed the children healthy, nutritional meals is underway!" The three new lunch ladies laughed horribly. Then they left Mr. Krupp's office and got started preparing the next day's lunch menu.

“好极了，”詹妮弗说。 “现在我们接管世界的计划是——呃，我的意思是，我们为孩子们提供健康、营养膳食的计划正在进行中！”三个新来的午餐女服务员可怕地笑了起来。 然后他们离开克虏伯的办公室，开始准备第二天的午餐菜单。

"Well, that was easy," said Mr. Krupp. "Now to take care of George and Harold!"

“嗯，那很简单，”克虏伯先生说。 “现在去照顾乔治和哈罗德！”
