7 Cupid Is Stupid

CHAPTER 7 CUPID IS STUPID In art class, we all have to make hearts. Each one has to be the same shape, and either red or pink. Yuck! I say that I want to make a green-colored square one. Mrs. Swamp, our art teacher, says, "No, only a heart shape, and either pink or red."

第七章丘比特愚蠢在美术课上，我们都要画爱心。 每一个都必须是相同的形状，要么是红色，要么是粉红色。 讨厌的东西!我说我想做一个绿色的正方形。 我们的美术老师斯玛普太太说：“不，只有心形的，不是粉色就是红色。”

The shape doesn't leave a lot of room for creativity. Well, at least I'll draw a dinosaur on mine. "No," says Mrs. Swamp. "A dinosaur is not appropriate. You can either draw a cupid or flowers." Double yuck—I'd rather eat worms.

这种形状没有给创意留下多少空间。 好吧，至少我会在我的上面画一只恐龙。 “不，”沼泽太太说。“恐龙不合适。 你可以画丘比特，也可以画花。” 加倍讨厌——我宁愿吃虫子。

Mrs. Swamp says that we can't even draw any veins or blood. This is not freedom of expression. I feel wounded. I think I need a purple heart.

沼泽太太说我们连静脉和血液都抽不出来。 这不是言论自由。 我觉得受伤了。我想我需要一颗紫心勋章。
