9 Lunch Doesn’t Agree with Me

CHAPTER NINE LUNCH DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME The next day at school, while the kids were doing their math problems, Miss Shelly took Franny over to one side and talked to her.

第九章午餐不适合我第二天在学校，当孩子们正在做数学题时，谢利老师把弗兰尼拉到一边和她说话。

"How's the experiment going?" she asked. "It's great. I understand them, and I think we're becoming friends. They seem to like me better if I just go along with the things they like." "Are you sure that's for the best?" Miss Shelly asked.

“实验进行得怎么样了？”她问。 “这太好了。我理解他们，我想我们正在成为朋友。 如果我跟着他们喜欢的走，他们似乎会更喜欢我。” “你确定这样最好吗？”谢利小姐问。

"Well, that's what the data seem to suggest," Franny said, and showed Miss Shelly some graphs to back it up. "But I like the real you." Miss Shelly was about to continue, when a piercing scream tore through the room. "The trash can!" a little girl shrieked. "It's moving!" Franny's mad scientist brain raced. That was the trash can in which she had dumped her crab ravioli in pumpkin sauce two days ago. But an old lunch, all by itself, was not enough to start a paranormal reaction.

“嗯，数据似乎就是这么说的。”弗兰尼说，并给雪莉小姐看了一些图表来支持这一点。 “但我喜欢真实的你。” 谢利小姐正要继续说下去，这时房间里传来一声刺耳的尖叫。 “垃圾桶！”一个小女孩尖叫道。 “这是移动!”弗兰妮疯狂的科学家大脑飞速运转。 那是她两天前把南瓜汁蟹肉馄饨倒进去的垃圾桶。 但一顿旧午餐本身，并不足以引发超自然反应。

"Who else put something in that can?" Franny said. "I spit out my gum in there," one girl said. "I threw a pair of old gym shoes in there," another boy said. "I saw the janitor dump some trash in there," another girl said. "Egad," said Franny. "That was close. Well, as long as NOBODY put any unstable industrial waste in there, we

“还有谁往罐子里放东西？”弗兰妮说。 “我把口香糖吐在里面了，”一个女孩说。 “我把一双旧运动鞋扔进去了，”另一个男孩说。 另一个女孩说：“我看到看门人往里面倒了一些垃圾。” “好极了，”弗兰妮说。“好险啊。 好吧，只要没人往里面放不稳定的工业废料，我们

should be fine." "Oh, yeah," said one little boy. "I forgot. I put some unstable industrial waste in there." "Gadzooks!" Franny shouted. "That is the exact formula for a Giant Monstrous Fiend."

应该没问题。”“哦，是的，”一个小男孩说。 “我忘了。我在里面放了一些不稳定的工业废料。” “诅咒!”弗兰妮喊道。 “这正是巨大的怪物恶魔的配方。”

The other kids looked at her. They looked scared, not just of the mention of a Giant Monstrous Fiend, although the prospect of a Giant Monstrous Fiend was no comfort. They were also afraid of Franny. They were looking at her the way they used to, before they had become her good friends.

其他孩子看着她。 他们看起来很害怕，不仅仅是因为提到了巨大的怪物恶魔，尽管巨大的怪物恶魔的前景并没有让他们感到安慰。 他们也害怕弗兰妮。 他们看着她，就像他们成为她的好朋友之前那样。
