8 Chapter 8

Chapter 8 "Why is it bad to pick your nose?" asked Linzy. Marvin looked at his little sister. "It's a disgusting and gross thing to do," he said. "Why?" asked Linzy. "It just is," said Marvin. He was in no mood for Linzy's stupid questions. She could ask why a hundred times in a row. "Why?" asked Linzy. "I pick my nose." "It's okay when you're four years old," said Marvin. "It's bad when you're older." "Why?" "'Cause it is!" But then Marvin's father also asked, "Why?" Marvin looked at him. "What's so bad about picking your nose?" asked his father. "I've picked my nose." "It's not something you want to do in public," said

“为什么挖鼻孔不好?”林兹问。 马文看着他的小妹妹。 “这是一件令人作呕的事情，”他说。 “为什么?”林兹问。“就是这样。”马文说。 他没有心情听林兹愚蠢的问题。 她可以一连问一百遍为什么。 “为什么?”林兹问。“我挖鼻子。” “当你四岁的时候，这没什么，”马文说。 “年纪大了就不好了。” “为什么?”“因为它就是!”但马文的父亲也问:“为什么?”马文看着他。 “挖鼻孔有什么不好?”爸爸问。 “我挖鼻孔了。”“这不是你想在公共场合做的事情，”她说

Marvin's mother. "But everyone has done it." He looked at his mother. "You too?" "Sometimes a tissue just won't get it," she said. "You blow and you blow, but nothing comes out." Marvin was horrified. "I sometimes pick my nose," said Jacob. "Well, no wonder I pick my nose!" Marvin exclaimed. "I come from a whole family of nose pickers!" "Your teacher, Mrs. North," said Marvin's father. "I'm sure she's picked her nose before." "Mrs. North? Are you crazy?" "The president of the United States has picked his nose," said Marvin's mother. Marvin looked around the room, from his mother, to his father, to his brother, to his sister. Either he came from the most disgusting family in the world, or.… He knew what question he'd ask for the class survey.

马文的母亲。“但每个人都这么做过。” 他看着他的母亲。“你也是?”她说:“有时候，一张纸巾根本就不够用。” “你吹啊吹，什么也吹不出来。” 马文吓坏了。“我有时挖鼻子，”雅各布说。 “哦，难怪我挖鼻子!”马文喊道。 “我来自一个挖鼻孔的家庭!”“你的老师，诺斯夫人。”马文的父亲说。 “我敢肯定她以前挖过鼻子。” “北太太?你疯了吗?”“美国总统挖鼻孔了，”马文的妈妈说。 马文环顾了一下房间，从他的母亲，到他的父亲，再到他的哥哥，再到他的妹妹。 要么他来自世界上最恶心的家庭，要么。他知道在班级调查中该问什么问题。
