8. The Party

CHAPTER 8 THE PARTY Ms. Ribble's retirement party started off bad, and just got worse. First, Ms. Ribble forced the class to sing a corny song to her. By the time she was done yelling at the boys for singing off-key, the chunky tofu ice cream was melted. Everybody had to eat it anyway.

里布尔女士的退休晚会一开始就很糟糕，而且愈演愈烈。 首先，里布尔老师强迫全班同学给她唱一首老掉牙的歌。 当她对那些唱走调的男孩大喊大叫时，大块的豆腐冰淇淋已经融化了。 反正每个人都得吃。

Then the children handed in their "Happy Retirement" cards. Ms. Ribble ripped several of the cards up because some of the children had mistakenly drawn polka-dots on their butterflies. One unfortunate boy had also drawn a happy smiling sunshine on his card, and he had to stand in the corner. Finally, Mr. Krupp stepped forward and handed Ms. Ribble the card he had snatched from Harold's hand. "I went to a lot of trouble to get this for you," Mr. Krupp said gallantly.

然后孩子们递上了他们的“退休快乐”卡片。 里布尔撕掉了几张卡片，因为有些孩子错误地在蝴蝶上画了圆点图案。 一个不幸的男孩也在他的卡片上画了一个快乐微笑的阳光，他不得不站在角落里。 最后，克虏伯走上前来，将手递给她。 他从哈罗德手里抢过来的那张牌。 “我费了很大劲才给你弄到这个，”克虏伯先生殷勤地说。

Ms. Ribble tore the envelope open and read the card out loud: "You're One Hot Mama!" said Ms. Ribble, with a shocked look on her face. "Eeeeeeeeew!" cried the children.

里布尔撕开信封，大声念了卡片：“你是一个性感妈妈！” 里布尔满脸震惊地说。 “咿咿咿！”孩子们叫道。

"Er, ummm, congratulations," said Mr. Meaner, as he patted Mr. Krupp's sweaty, shivering shoulder. "Yes! CONGRATULATIONS!" shouted Miss Anthrope. "This will be the best wedding in the whole world! We can have it here at the school... a week from Saturday! I'll plan everything! You lovebirds don't have to worry about a thing!"

“嗯，嗯，恭喜你，”米纳先生说着，拍了拍克虏伯先生汗流浃背、瑟瑟发抖的肩膀。 “是啊!祝贺你！”Anthrope小姐喊道。 “这将是世界上最好的婚礼！”我们可以在学校举行…… 从星期六起的一个星期！我来计划一切！你们这对小情侣什么都不用担心！”

"Er-uh... great... thanks," said Ms. Ribble, still looking quite angry and confused. "B-B-Bubba bobba hob-hobba-hobba wah-wah," said Mr. Krupp.

“Er-uh…伟大的……谢谢。” 里布尔，看上去仍然很生气，很困惑。 克虏伯先生说：“布-布-波-霍-霍-霍-哇-哇。”
