3 Let’s Get This Party Started

CHAPTER THREE LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED Miss Shelly was Franny's favorite teacher of all time. Franny's earlier teachers hadn't really understood her, and it's difficult to learn from somebody that runs screaming from the classroom every time you walk in.

雪莉小姐一直是弗兰妮最喜欢的老师。 弗兰尼以前的老师并没有真正理解她，跟一个每次走进教室就尖叫着跑出来的人学习是很困难的。

But Miss Shelly was almost never afraid of Franny, and usually had something interesting to teach. Franny paid close attention as Miss Shelly began writing that day's lesson on the blackboard. For a moment, Franny was so thrilled that she almost shouted. It looked like Miss Shelly was writing "electricity."

但是谢利小姐几乎从不害怕弗兰尼，而且通常都有一些有趣的东西可以教。 当雪莉老师开始在黑板上写当天的课程时，弗兰妮密切注意着。 一时间，弗兰尼激动得几乎喊了出来。 雪莉小姐好像在写“电”。

Along with chemistry, nuclear power, and brain removal, electric power was one of Franny's favorite subjects.

与化学、核能和脑切除一样，电力是弗兰尼最喜欢的学科之一。

But as Miss Shelly finished writing, Franny could see that she had written "election," which, when compared to electricity, sounded pretty darned boring. "An election is when people vote for a person who will represent them, and organize them, and if necessary, lead them," Miss Shelly explained. "We'll be electing a president of the class."

但等雪莉小姐写完后，弗兰尼看出她写的是“选举”，这个词跟“电”比起来，听起来实在太无聊了。 谢莉小姐解释说：“选举就是人们投票选出一个人来代表他们，组织他们，必要时领导他们。” “我们要选举一个班长。”

Franny perked up a little. "Can this president tell everybody what to do and punish them if they disobey?" Franny asked, while she quickly sketched out a few ideas for a dungeon she could build at the school for just that purpose.

弗兰妮振作了一点。 “这位总统能告诉每个人该做什么，如果他们不服从就惩罚他们吗？”弗兰妮一边问，一边快速地勾勒出几个想法，她可以在学校里建一个地牢，就为了这个目的。

"Well, maybe not punish. But the president can help determine some of the rules in the class, and the president is a person that people usually look up to, and I suppose that the president does tell people what to do," said Miss Shelly. Franny smiled. Maybe this wasn't so boring.

“嗯，也许不是惩罚。但是校长可以帮助确定班级的一些规则，校长是一个人们通常尊敬的人，我想校长确实告诉人们该做什么，”谢莉小姐说。 弗兰妮笑了。也许这并没有那么无聊。
