9 Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Marvin got to school early, and waited. Judy Jasper was dropped off in the school parking lot. Marvin watched her get out of the car. Marvin was glad she was alone. The kids usually weren't mean to him when they were alone. It was only when they were in a group. The bigger the group, the meaner they acted. "Judy," he called. "What?" asked Judy. She had very curly hair. "I have to ask you my question for the class survey," said Marvin. "Okay," said Judy. "You have to tell the truth," said Marvin. "I will," said Judy. "Okay," said Marvin. "Well, here goes." He took a breath. "Have you ever picked your nose?"

马文早早地到了学校，等待着。 朱迪·贾斯帕在学校停车场下车了。 马文看着她下了车。 马文很高兴她独自一人。 孩子们独处时通常对他不刻薄。 只有当他们在一起的时候。 群体越大，他们的行为就越卑鄙。 “朱迪，”他叫道。“什么?”朱迪问。 她有一头很卷的头发。“我得问你一个关于班级调查的问题，”马文说。 “好吧，”朱迪说。“你必须说实话，”马文说。 “我会的，”朱迪说。“好吧，”马文说。 “好吧，开始吧。”他深吸了一口气。 “你挖过鼻子吗?”

Judy screamed, then ran away. Marvin ran after her. "Wait!" he called. "You have to answer my question!" He chased her around the bike rack and caught up with her just outside the girls' bathroom. "Have you ever picked your nose?" he asked again. "Ever?" asked Judy. Marvin nodded.

朱迪尖叫着跑开了。 马文跟在她后面。“等等!”他喊道。 “你必须回答我的问题!”他在自行车架上追着她，最后在女厕所外面追上了她。 “你挖过鼻子吗?”他又问。 “永远吗?”朱迪问。马文点点头。

Judy ducked into the girls' bathroom. Marvin was about to walk away. But then, safe within the bathroom walls, Judy Jasper shouted, "Yes!" Kenny was drinking from the water fountain. "I have to ask you my question for the class survey," said Marvin. Kenny kept drinking. "Have you ever picked your nose?" asked Marvin. Kenny coughed and spit out water. He looked up at Marvin. "That's your question?" he asked.

朱迪躲进了女洗手间。 马文正要走开。 但随后，安全进入浴室的朱迪·贾斯帕喊道:“是的!”肯尼在饮水机里喝水。 “我得问你一个关于班级调查的问题，”马文说。 肯尼一直在喝酒。“你挖过鼻子吗?”马文问。 肯尼咳嗽并吐了水。 他抬头看着马文。“这就是你的问题?”他问。

Marvin nodded. "Did Mrs. North approve it?" Marvin shrugged. "Darn!" said Kenny. "I didn't know you could ask questions like that." "So, have you?" asked Marvin. "Yeah, I guess," said Kenny. Marvin wrote down Kenny's answer. jmkfho. "I'm going to see if it's too late to change my

马文点点头。“诺斯太太同意了吗?”马文耸耸肩。 “该死!”肯尼说。“我不知道你可以问这样的问题。” “是吗?”马文问。 “是的，我想，”肯尼说。 马文写下了肯尼的回答。 “我要去看看现在换衣服是否太晚了。

question," said Kenny. "I could ask all the girls—What color is your underwear?" He cracked up. Nick and Stuart arrived together. "What do you want?" asked Nick. "Don't worry," said Marvin. "I'm not going to try to be your friend. I just have to ask you my question for the class survey." "Okay," said Stuart. "But make it quick." He looked around to make sure that no one was watching. "Have you ever picked your nose?" asked Marvin. "Give me a break," said Stuart. "Just answer the question," said Marvin. "No one's ever going to like you if you keep asking questions like that," said Nick. "Just answer the question." "Yes, I've picked my nose," said Stuart. "Are you happy?" "Me too," said Nick. "But I don't go around talking about it!"

问题，”肯尼说。“我可以问所有的女孩——你的内裤是什么颜色的?”他大笑起来。 尼克和斯图尔特一起来了。 “你想要什么?”尼克问。 “别担心，”马文说。 “我不会试图成为你的朋友。 我只是想问你关于班级调查的问题。” “好吧，”斯图亚特说。“但是要快点。” 他向四周看了看，确定没有人在看。 “你挖过鼻子吗?”马文问。 “饶了我吧，”斯图亚特说。 “回答问题吧。”马文说。 “如果你一直问这样的问题，没有人会喜欢你的，”尼克说。 “回答我的问题。” “是的，我挖过我的鼻子，”斯图亚特说。 “你幸福吗?”“我也是，”尼克说。 “但我不会到处谈论它!”

"What do you want, Snot-face?" asked Clarence. "I have to ask you my survey question." "Just don't get any of your boogers on me," said Clarence. Marvin looked at him. He couldn't understand Clarence. They both knew that Clarence made that up. They both knew the ball was over the line. "No one else is around," said Marvin. "Can't we just be honest with each other?" "Booger brain!" said Clarence. "Well, here's my question," said Marvin. "And you have to tell the truth." "I never lie," said Clarence. "Have you ever picked your nose?" "No way!" said Clarence. "I'm not gross like you." Casey's ponytail stuck out of the side of her head. "Casey," said Marvin. "I have to ask you my question for the class survey." "Shoot," said Casey, "Have you ever picked your nose?" Casey laughed.

“你想干什么，鼻涕脸?”克拉伦斯问。 “我得问你我的调查问题。” “别把你的鼻屎弄到我身上，”克拉伦斯说。 马文看着他。他无法理解克拉伦斯。 他们都知道那是克拉伦斯编的。 他们都知道球过线了。 “周围没有别人。”马文说。 “我们就不能坦诚相待吗?”“笨蛋!”克拉伦斯说。 “好吧，这是我的问题。”马文说。 “你必须说实话。” “我从不说谎，”克拉伦斯说。 “你挖过鼻子吗?”“不可能!”克拉伦斯说。 “我不像你那么恶心。”凯西的马尾辫从脑袋的一侧伸出来。 “凯西，”马文说。“我得问你一个关于班级调查的问题。” “该死，”凯西说，“你挖过鼻子吗?”凯西笑了。
