4. The Substitute

Chapter 4 The Substitute "You were alone in her house?" Stuart exclaimed. Marvin nodded. "Oh, man, what'd you do?" asked Nick. Marvin shrugged. They were out on the playground. School hadn't started yet. "Let me see the key," said Stuart. "Did you look in her closet?" asked Nick. "No," said Marvin. Why would he look in her closet? "How about her refrigerator?" asked Nick. "Did you at least look in her refrigerator?" "Let me see the key," Stuart said again. "How about her bathroom?" asked Nick. "I don't remember," said Marvin. "You don't remember if you saw her bathroom?"

“你一个人在她家里?”斯图尔特说。 马文点点头。“哦，伙计，你做了什么?”尼克问。 马文耸耸肩。他们在操场上。 学校还没开学。 “让我看看钥匙，”斯图亚特说。 “你看过她的衣柜了吗?”尼克问。 “不，”马文说。他为什么要翻她的衣柜? “那她的冰箱呢?”尼克问。 “你至少看过她的冰箱吧?”“让我看看钥匙，”斯图亚特又说了一遍。 “她的浴室怎么样?”尼克问。 “我不记得了。”马文说。 “你不记得你见过她的浴室吗?”

asked Nick. "Let me see the key," said Stuart. Marvin fished the key out of his pocket. Stuart took it from him. "Wow," he said, then handed it to Nick. "Hey, everybody!" Nick shouted. "I have the key to Mrs. North's house!" Kids came running from all directions. "Marvin was alone in her house!" said Nick as he gave the key to Kenny. "Did you look in her closet?" asked Clarence. "What for?" asked Marvin. "To see her clothes!" Nick and Clarence answered together. "Did you turn on her television?" asked Melanie. Marvin couldn't tell who had the key anymore. It was being passed around. "Did you use her bathroom?" asked Casey. "He doesn't even remember if he saw her bathroom!" said Nick. "What if you were alone in her house?" asked Casey. "And you had to go to the bathroom. Real bad. What

尼克问。“让我看看钥匙，”斯图亚特说。 马文从口袋里掏出钥匙。 斯图亚特把它从他手里拿走了。“哇，”他说，然后把它递给尼克。 “嘿,大家!”尼克喊道。 “我有诺斯太太家的钥匙!”孩子们从四面八方跑来。 “马文一个人在她家!”尼克边说边把钥匙交给肯尼。 “你看过她的衣柜了吗?”克拉伦斯问。 “为什么?”马文问。“去看她的衣服!”尼克和克拉伦斯一起回答。 “你打开她的电视了吗?"媚兰问。 马文已经分不清钥匙在谁手里了。 它正在被传递。 “你用过她的浴室吗?”凯西问。 “他甚至不记得他是否见过她的浴室!”尼克说。 “如果你一个人在她家呢?”凯西问。 “你不得不去洗手间。 真正的坏。什么

would you do?" "I'd use her bathroom," said Marvin. Everybody laughed. "She didn't say I couldn't," said Marvin. They laughed harder. The bell rang. Everyone started to class. "Wait!" called Marvin. "Where's—" "Here, Marvin," said Patsy Gatsby, behind him. She gave him the key. As he walked into class, he heard Melanie announce, "Marvin's going to use the bathroom in Mrs. North's house!" Several kids laughed. "Who's Marvin?" asked the substitute teacher, standing at the front of the room. Melanie and Warren pointed at Marvin as he made his way to his desk. He sat down. The teacher stared at Marvin a long time. "I don't appreciate that kind of talk, Marvin," she said. Marvin didn't know why she was picking on him. It

你愿意吗?”“我会用她的浴室，”马文说。 每个人都笑了。“她没说我不能，”马文说。 他们笑得更厉害了。铃响了。 大家都开始上课了。 “等等!”马文叫道。“在这儿，马文。”帕齐·盖茨比在他身后说。 她把钥匙给了他。当他走进教室时，他听到媚兰宣布:“马文要去诺斯太太家的浴室!”几个孩子笑了。 “马文是谁?”站在教室前面的代课老师问道。 马文走向办公桌时，梅兰妮和沃伦指着他。 他坐了下来。老师盯着马文看了很长时间。 “我不喜欢那种谈话，马文，”她说。 马文不知道她为什么要找他的麻烦。 它

was Melanie who said it. Her name was Miss Hillway. She wrote it on the board. "I'll be your teacher for a week," she said. "So let's all try to get off to a good start. That includes you, Marvin." Patsy Gatsby sneezed. "Bless you," said Miss Hillway. "Thank you," Patsy said shyly, wiping her nose on her sleeve. Nick leaned back in his chair, took a great big breath, then sneezed as loud as he could. Miss Hillway smiled at Nick. "Bless you," she said. Casey Happleton sat next to Marvin. She had a ponytail that stuck out of the side of her head. Not the back. Casey held her nose and said, "Ah-ah-ah- CHooooooooooo!" Her sideways ponytail bounced up and down. Miss Hillway didn't bless her. Stuart sneezed. Travis sneezed. "Sneeze, Marvin," whispered Casey. "Why?" "It's funny," said Casey.

这话是媚兰说的。她叫希尔韦小姐。 她把它写在黑板上。 “我当你一周的老师，”她说。 “因此，让我们都努力有一个良好的开端。 这也包括你，马文。” 帕齐·盖茨比打了个喷嚏。“上帝保佑你，”希尔韦小姐说。 “谢谢你，”帕齐害羞地说，用袖子擦了擦鼻子。 尼克向后靠在椅子上，深深地吸了一口气，然后使劲打了个喷嚏。 希尔韦小姐对尼克笑了笑。 “祝福你，”她说。凯西·哈普尔顿坐在马文旁边。 她的马尾辫从脑袋的一侧伸出来。 不是后面。凯西捏着鼻子说:“啊——啊——啊——啊——啊——啊!”她侧过的马尾辫上下跳动。 希尔韦小姐没有祝福她。 斯图尔特打喷嚏。特拉维斯打喷嚏。 “打喷嚏吧，马文，”凯西小声说。 “为什么?”“这很有趣，”凯西说。

"No, it isn't," said Marvin. It was silly. No wonder Mrs. North asked me to take care of Waldo, he thought. "You think you're so great," whispered Casey. "Just because you went to the bathroom in Mrs. North's house!" Gina sneezed. Heather sneezed. "My, there must be a terrible cold going around," said Miss Hillway. Everyone—except Marvin—laughed. Kenny sneezed. Then, Miss Hillway sneezed! A whole bunch of kids blessed her. "Okay, that's enough," Miss Hillway said. "I hope we all got our sneezes out. Now, let's get back to work." Clarence sneezed. Miss Hillway didn't smile. "I'm serious now. I don't want to hear another sneeze," she warned. "But what if you really have to?" asked Melanie. "You can't punish someone for sneezing," said Nick. "It's dangerous to hold back a sneeze," said Stuart. "My dad's a doctor. He knows." "It could explode out your ears," said Casey. "You

“不，不是。”马文说。 这太愚蠢了。难怪诺斯太太要我照顾沃尔多，他想。 “你觉得自己很了不起，”凯西小声说。 “就因为你去了诺斯太太家的洗手间!”吉娜打喷嚏。 希瑟打喷嚏。“天哪，一定是得了重感冒了，”希尔韦小姐说。 除了Marvin-laughed。 肯尼打喷嚏。然后，希尔韦小姐打了个喷嚏!一群孩子为她祝福。 “好了，够了，”希尔韦小姐说。 “我希望我们都能打喷嚏。 现在，让我们回去工作吧。” 克拉伦斯打喷嚏。希尔韦小姐没有笑。 “我现在是认真的。我不想再听到你打喷嚏了，”她警告说。 “可是，如果你真非这样做不可呢?"媚兰问。 “你不能因为一个人打喷嚏就惩罚他，”尼克说。 “忍住喷嚏是很危险的，”斯图亚特说。 “我爸爸是医生。他知道。” “它可能会炸出你的耳朵，”凯西说。 “你

could die!" Miss Hillway raised her eyebrows. Marvin felt a tickle in his nose. It was a small tickle at first. But it slowly grew, bigger and bigger inside his little nose. He tried to hold it back, but it felt like it would explode out his ears.

可能会死!”希尔韦小姐扬起了眉毛。 马文觉得鼻子发痒。 一开始有点痒。 但它慢慢地长了起来，在他的小鼻子里越来越大。 他试图忍住，但感觉它要从他的耳朵里炸出来。
