2 Hobby Day

CHAPTER TWO HOBBY DAY Miss Shelly stood in front of the class. "We're going to talk about hobbies. Tomorrow I'd like each of you to bring in something that represents your hobby or interest." Surely, thought Franny, many of them don't even have hobbies or interests, and even if they do, they're probably the kinds of dull

第二章爱好日谢利老师站在全班同学面前。 “我们要谈谈爱好。 明天，我希望你们每个人都带来一些代表你们爱好或兴趣的东西。” 当然，弗兰妮想，他们中的许多人甚至没有爱好或兴趣，即使他们有，也可能是无聊的那种

hobbies that hardly ever explode or eat the neighbor's car. Franny raised her hand. "Miss Shelly, if somebody has a hobby that doesn't involve massive amounts of electricity or sewing wings onto things that weren't born with wings, will they still be allowed to participate?"

这些爱好几乎不会爆炸，也不会弄坏邻居的车。 弗兰妮举起了手。“谢利小姐，如果有人的爱好不需要大量的电力，也不需要给没有翅膀的东西缝翅膀，他们还能被允许参加吗？”

Miss Shelly was accustomed to this sort of question from Franny. "Yes, Franny. Everybody will get to talk about their hobbies," Miss Shelly said.

谢利小姐对弗兰尼的这类问题已经习以为常了。 “是的,弗兰妮。每个人都可以谈论他们的爱好，”谢利小姐说。

Miss Shelly was always fair, but it seemed like a waste of time to Franny, who was absolutely certain that after a little exposure to mad science, the kids would drop their other interests like hot potatoes—hot, radioactive, poisonous potatoes.

雪莉小姐总是很公平，但对弗兰妮来说，这似乎是浪费时间，她绝对相信，在接触了一些疯狂的科学之后，孩子们会像烫手山芋一样放弃他们的其他兴趣——热的、放射性的、有毒的土豆。
