Our Head Teacher is a Super-Villain

Our head teacher is a supervillain.

我们的校长是个超级大坏蛋。

Yellow eyes. Miss Carr stood at the front of the classroom and fixed us with a strange stare. She's doing it again, I whispered to Holly who was sitting beside me. Doing what? she asked. Looking at us with her yellow swirling eyes, I said. Holly nodded. All the teachers are doing that spinning eye thing now.

黄眼睛。卡尔老师站在教室前面，用一种 奇怪的眼神盯着我们。她又来这套了，我小声对坐在旁边的霍莉说 我。啥意思呀？她问。她在用转来转去的黄眼睛盯着我们呀，我回答。 霍莉点点头。现在所有老师眼睛都会那样转来转去的。

Silence bellowed Miss Carr. You are only allowed to speak if you want to say, I'd like to do extra hard maths. I'd like to do extra hard maths, I laughed. Thank you for that Max Foster, Miss Carr announced. You can stay after school to do extra hard maths. What? I cried. No, I didn't mean that I wanted.

安静！卡尔老师吼道。你们只有想说“我想做超难的数学题”的时候才可以说话。 我想做超难的数学题~我笑着喊。 多谢你啊麦克斯·福斯特，卡尔老师宣布。你放学留下来做超难数学题吧。 啥？我大叫。不是的，我不是真的想——

The bell rang for lunchtime and everyone jumped to their feet. Sit down! shouted Miss Carr. Everyone did as they were told.

午饭铃响了，所有人都腾地站了起来。 坐下！卡尔老师吼道。 所有人都乖乖照做了。

Miss Carr held up some sheets of paper. These are the updated school rules written by our wonderful new head teacher Mr Roberts. She said, You must do exactly as they say from this moment on. I want everyone to take a copy for their parents.

卡尔老师举着几张纸。 这是咱们超棒的新校长罗伯茨先生制定的新版校规。 她说，从现在开始，你们必须严格遵守这些校规。 每个人都拿一份回去给家长看。

We all took a list of rules to put in our bags. Look at this, I hissed, reading the first line. Rule 1. No pupil will be allowed out at playtime unless they have passed a daily spelling test. But Holly didn't reply. Instead, she grabbed my arm and we waited till everyone had left the classroom.

我们都拿了一张校规清单塞进书包里。 快看这个，我边读第一行边小声叫霍莉。 第一条：除非通过每日拼写测试，否则所有学生课间不许出去玩。 可霍莉没答话。 她反倒攥住我的胳膊，我们俩一直等到所有人都离开教室。
