11 The Great Debate

CHAPTER 11 THE GREAT DEBATE DON'T YOU OWN A COMB? Well, Doris and I are in front of the whole class. I feel like I'm under a microscope. I should have combed my hair more, but Doris has a pimple on the end of her nose.

第11章大辩论你没有梳子吗？ 多丽丝和我站在全班同学面前。 我觉得自己像被放在显微镜下一样。 我本应该多梳头的，但多丽丝鼻尖上长了个痘。

We shake hands and she goes first. She says that she's for women's rights and total equality. I ask her why she gets to go first. "Because I'm a girl, of course," she sneers. "Oh," I reply. GIRLS FIRST. BUT

我们握手，她先走。 她说她支持妇女权利和完全平等。 我问她为什么她先走。 “当然，因为我是个女孩，”她冷笑着说。 “哦，”我回答。女孩第一次。 但

Then it's my turn. "Knock, knock!" "Who's there?" says everyone. "Debate," I answer. "Debate who?!" shouts the class. "Put debate on the hook and we'll go fishing!" I laugh. "That's not funny," says Doris, poking me in the back.

然后轮到我了。“咚,咚!”“谁在那儿？”大家都问。 “辩论，”我回答。“辩论谁？！”全班同学喊道。 “把辩论放到钓钩上，我们就去钓鱼！”我笑了起来。 “这一点都不好笑，”多丽丝说着，戳了戳我的后背。

"Is too," says I, poking her back. "Is not," says Doris, stamping her foot. "Is," I say, stamping mine. "Not," says Doris, crossing her eyes. "Is," says I, crossing mine. We go on until the lunch bell rings and ends our debate. FELLOW STUDENTS WHAT?

“也是，”我说，捅了捅她。 “不是，”多丽丝跺着脚说。 “是，”我说，跺着我的脚。 “不，”多丽丝说着，交叉着眼睛。 “是的，”我说，划了划我的。 我们继续讨论，直到午餐铃响，结束了我们的辩论。 同学们什么？
