10 A Star Is Born

CHAPTER 10 A STAR IS BORN Well, it's ten A.M. Showtime!

第十章一颗星星的诞生啊，现在是上午十点 Showtime !

Everyone in school fills the auditorium. Little kids, big kids, teachers, and relatives— all expecting to be entertained. We huddle together backstage. Doris is in her feathers. Freddy is in his chefs hat. Penny is wearing lipstick. Randy is in his magician's hat. And Eric is wearing a red ball on his nose. That's funny stuff!

学校里的每个人都挤满了礼堂。 孩子们、大孩子们、老师们和亲戚们——都期待着得到娱乐。 我们在后台挤在一起。 多丽丝很生气。弗雷迪戴着他的厨师帽。 佩妮涂了口红。 兰迪戴着魔术师的帽子。 埃里克的鼻子上戴着一个红球。 真有趣！

The lights slowly dim, the curtain rises, and we point to Eric. He's first. He steps out on the stage. All eyes are on him. He taps the microphone. It sounds like elephants on a giant trampoline. TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP HA He clears his throat and tells his first joke. Everyone laughs.

灯光慢慢变暗，幕布升起，我们指向埃里克。 他的第一个。他走上舞台。 所有的目光都集中在他身上。他轻敲麦克风。 听起来就像大象在一个巨大的蹦床上。 他清了清嗓子，讲了第一个笑话。 每个人都笑了。

What do birds Say on Halloween? Twick or tweet. What nut is like a Sneeze? A Cashew! HONK HONK HA

鸟儿在万圣节说什么？ 推特或推特。什么坚果像打喷嚏？ 腰果!嘎，嘎，嘎

Take TWO eggs. They applaud when Freddy reads his recipe. And they gasp when Randy takes off his hat and pulls out Waldo, our class hamster. SQUEAK! PRESTO! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

拿两个鸡蛋。当弗雷迪读他的食谱时，他们鼓掌。 当兰迪脱下帽子，拉出沃尔多，我们班的仓鼠时，他们倒吸了一口气。 吱吱声!您看!拍，拍，拍，拍

Derek has tied his hoop to his belt. And he spins around! Penny lip-syncs "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." And everyone in the audience wants to have fun, too! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

德里克把他的铁环系在腰带上。 然后他转了个圈！佩妮假唱《Girls Just Wanna Have Fun》 观众们也都想玩得开心！拍，拍，拍，拍
