Chapter 1 New Neighbors Katie told Pedro and JoJo, "We have a new neighbor!" They ran to meet her. "Hi!" said the girl. "My name is Haley O'Hara." "Cool name," said Katie.

第一章新邻居凯蒂告诉佩德罗和乔乔：“我们有一个新邻居了！”他们跑去迎接她。 “嗨！”女孩说。“我叫哈利·奥哈拉。” “好酷的名字，”凯蒂说。

"I have five brothers and sisters," Haley bragged. "We have enough players for a soccer team," said Katie. "Let's do it!" yelled Haley. "My brothers and sisters are already playing." Katie's mom told her, "You can play later. Today is Aunt Patty's first town meeting as our new mayor. Let's go wish her luck."

“我有五个兄弟姐妹，”海莉吹嘘道。 “我们有足够的球员组成一支足球队，”凯蒂说。 “我们开始吧！”哈利喊道。 “我的兄弟姐妹们已经在玩了。” 凯蒂的妈妈告诉她：“你可以等会儿再玩。 今天是帕蒂阿姨作为新市长的第一次镇民大会。 我们去祝她好运吧。”

Chapter 2 The Town Meeting At City Hall, Mayor Patty said, "Today our city council will decide how to spend our tax money." Katie smiled. "I love money." "First let's begin by talking about what each neighborhood needs the most," said Aunt Patty. "Then the council will vote."

在市政厅，帕蒂市长说：“今天我们市议会将决定如何使用我们交的税。” 凯蒂笑了。“我爱钱。” “首先，我们来谈谈每个社区最需要什么，”帕蒂姑妈说。 “然后理事会就会投票。”

"My neighborhood is growing," said Mr. Mann. "We need a fire station." Pedro told Katie, "Our neighborhood needs ice cream."

“我的邻居越来越多，”曼说。 “我们需要一个消防站。”佩德罗告诉凯蒂：“我们的邻居需要冰淇淋。”
