5 Franny Tosses Her Cookies

CHAPTER FIVE FRANNY TOSSES HER COOKIES Igor sat patiently and listened to Franny. "Not one," she said, dropping the toenail fungus translator on the floor. "In my whole class not one other kid has even thought about conducting an experiment! Dancing, yes! Collecting, yes! Athletics, yes! But mad science, NO!"

第五章弗兰妮扔饼干伊戈尔耐心地坐着听弗兰妮讲。 “一个都没有，”她说着，把脚趾甲真菌翻译器掉在了地板上。 “在我的整个班级里，没有一个孩子想过做实验！”跳舞,是的!收集、是的!田径,是的!但是疯狂的科学，不！”

Franny continued her rant as she checked the progress of her various experiments. "One kid had a terrarium with a chameleon, but—get this—he doesn't do any experiments with it!" Igor wasn't crazy about chameleons since the first time Franny's giant chameleon had tried to swallow him. But he shook his head and tried to appear as though he agreed with Franny.

弗兰尼一边检查各种实验的进展，一边继续咆哮。 “有个孩子养了一只变色龙，但是——听着——他没有用变色龙做任何实验！”自从弗兰妮的大变色龙第一次试图吞下他之后，伊戈尔就不喜欢变色龙了。 但他摇了摇头，竭力装出一副同意弗兰妮的样子。

"I asked Miss Shelly if I could put off doing my presentation until tomorrow. After Billy shared his hobby, which is making pretty, pretty cookies, my heart just wasn't in it. Pretty, pretty cookies. I mean, seriously, Igor, that has to be the dumbest hobby of all. Imagine doing all that measuring and mixing and waiting, just for pretty, pretty cookies. Look— he even brought some in for everyone." Franny tossed her pretty, pretty cookies in the air and shot a sizzling death ray through them.

这个人说：“我问雪莉小姐我能不能把我的报告推迟到明天。 比利跟我分享了他的爱好，就是做非常非常漂亮的饼干之后，我的心就不在上面了。 漂亮，漂亮的饼干。说真的，伊戈尔，这肯定是最蠢的爱好了。 想象一下，测量，搅拌，等待，只是为了漂亮的饼干。 瞧——他甚至给每个人都带了一些来。” 弗兰妮把她漂亮漂亮的饼干抛向空中，发出咝咝作响的死亡射线。

"These kids are so misguided, Igor. They don't know what they're missing. Their interests are absolutely useless. Maybe nobody has ever really showed them why mad science is really the only hobby on earth." Franny stopped and grinned broadly. "That's it, Igor. It's up to me to show them where they went wrong. I can show them what they should be interested in. And I can see it's going to take more than a toenail fungus translator."

“这些孩子太误导了，伊戈尔。 他们不知道他们错过了什么。 他们的兴趣毫无用处。 也许从来没有人真正告诉过他们，为什么疯狂的科学真的是地球上唯一的爱好。” 弗兰尼停了下来，咧嘴一笑。 “就是这样，伊戈尔。该由我来告诉他们哪里出错了。 我可以向他们展示他们应该感兴趣的东西。 我可以看到，这不仅仅需要一个脚趾甲真菌翻译器。”
