3 Franny Takes the Cake

CHAPTER THREE FRANNY TAKES THE CAKE The announcement of the yearly Science Fair at school always filled Franny with mixed emotions. On the one hand, Franny loved creating new inventions and sharing them with others.

第三章弗兰妮吃蛋糕学校里一年一度的科学博览会的消息总是让弗兰妮百感交集。 一方面，弗兰妮喜欢创造新发明并与他人分享。

On the other hand, Franny already had a long list of projects in her lab that she was anxious to complete.

另一方面，弗兰妮在她的实验室里已经有一长串的项目，她急于完成。

And on the other hand, it was always an extra challenge to create a project that the kids at school would appreciate. Wait a second, that was three hands.

另一方面，创造一个学校里的孩子会喜欢的项目总是一个额外的挑战。 等等，那是三只手。

Well, this is Franny we're talking about.

我们说的可是弗兰妮。

Franny explained it to her mom. "I want to do a good Science Fair project, but I really don't like to take time away from the other lab projects." Her mom smiled. "You can't have it both ways, Franny. You know what they say: You can't have your cake and eat it too." A wide grin came across Franny's face. "You can't have your cake and eat it too? We'll see about that."

弗兰妮向她妈妈解释了。 “我想做好科学博览会的项目，但我真的不喜欢从其他实验室项目中抽出时间。” 妈妈笑了。“你不能两全其美，弗兰尼。 你知道人们常说：鱼与熊掌不可兼得。” 弗兰尼的脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。 “你不能鱼和熊掌兼得吗？” 我们走着瞧吧。”

Franny walked quickly to her lab, with the blueprint of her next creation beginning to form inside her head as she went.

弗兰尼快步走向她的实验室，她的下一个创作的蓝图开始在她的脑海中形成。
