9. Roscoe to the Rescue

Chapter 9 Roscoe to the Rescue Right after recess, it was time to get ready for the open house. Ms. Diz and the room mothers set out chocolate chip cookies and cakes and pies on a big table. And napkins and juice. Those cookies looked DELICIOUS. But I was too worried about the bee song to think about those delicious, chewy, chocolaty, melt-in-my-mouth cookies.

第九章罗斯科的救援课间一过，就该为开放日做准备了。 迪兹和房间管理员们在一张大桌子上摆上了巧克力饼干、蛋糕和馅饼。 还有餐巾和果汁。那些饼干看起来很好吃。 但我太担心蜜蜂的歌声了，没时间去想那些美味的、有嚼劲的、巧克力味的、入口即化的饼干。

Well, almost too worried. Ms. Diz arranged the chairs. Then she set out the sticks and the head bobbles on the counter. "Your parents will be here in just a few minutes, children," she said. "Check all the activity centers to be sure everything is nice and clean." "Ms. Diz?" called one of the room mothers. "Do you have any name tags?" "I think I have some in the art cupboard," said Ms. Diz. She opened the cupboard doors. "Nope. No name tags. Let me see if they have any in the office. Children, I'll be right back. Roscoe, why don't you pass out the antennae? Dewan, you hand out the sticks. But no funny business. The rest of you finish cleaning up." Ms. Diz rushed out the door. The art cupboard doors were still open.

嗯，太担心了。Ms。 迪兹摆好了椅子。然后她把棍子和泡泡头放在柜台上。 “孩子们，你们的父母几分钟后就到，”她说。 “检查一下所有的活动中心，确保一切都干净整洁。” “迪兹小姐?”一位房间管理员喊道。 “你有名牌吗?”“我想我有一些在艺术柜里，”mrs . john说。 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛她打开橱柜的门。 “不。没有名牌。让我看看他们办公室里有没有。 孩子们，我马上回来。 罗斯科，你把天线发下去吧? Dewan，你把棍子发下去。 但是没有有趣的事情。剩下的人去收拾吧。” 迪兹女士冲出门去。 艺术橱柜的门还开着。

I could see the don't-you-dare glue I'd brought. And just then I had a Super-Mega-Gonzo idea. I went over to the cupboard. All the kids were busy cleaning up blocks and puzzle pieces and crayons. The room mothers were not paying attention to me, either. They were busy mopping up a juice spill. It was caused by a flying LEGO. I picked up one of the head bobbles on the counter. I reached for the don't-you-dare glue. I tried to read the label. It took a LOT of work to read it.

我能看到我带来的“你敢”胶。 就在那时，我有了一个超级超级怪诞的想法。 我走到碗柜前。 所有的孩子都在忙着收拾积木、拼图和蜡笔。 房间管理员也没有注意到我。 他们正忙着清理溢出的果汁。 它是由一个飞行的乐高引起的。 我拿起柜台上的一个泡泡头。 我伸手去拿“你敢”胶水。 我试着看标签。 我花了很多功夫才读懂它。

Bonds instantly and permanently, it said. Glues wood, metal, glass, and paper. The label did not mention head bobbles. I opened the glue. I put a little on the headband. And I popped those bobbles on my head.

它说，这是即时和永久的债券。 可粘合木材、金属、玻璃和纸张。 标签上没有提到泡泡头。 我打开了胶水。我在发带上放了一点。 我把那些泡泡弹在头上。

I waited a few seconds. Then I wiggled my head. The bobbles stayed on! Nice and tight. Just like real bee bobbles. Perfect. I put a few drops of glue on all the other bobbles. Then I slipped the tube of glue into my pocket. One by one, I passed out bobbles to all the kids. Hassan tried on his bobbles. He didn't notice the little drops of don't-you-dare glue. "Hey," said Hassan. He shook his head. "Weird. My bobbles are staying on!"

我等了几秒钟。然后我摇了摇头。 泡泡一直呆着!又好又紧。 就像真正的蜜蜂球一样。 完美的。我在其他的泡泡上都涂了几滴胶水。 然后我把那管胶水塞进口袋。 我一个接一个地把球分发给所有的孩子。 哈桑试了试他的泡泡球。 他没有注意到那些小滴的“你敢”胶水。 "嘿。"哈桑说。他摇了摇头。 “奇怪。我的泡泡球还在!”

"So are mine," Maria said. "Ms. Diz must have fixed them." I handed bobbles to Gus and Dewan. They were playing swords again. "Gus!" I said. "No swords! This open house has got to be perfect." "They're not swords," he said. "They're lightsabers." "Here," I said. I put the bobbles on his head. And gave the last pair to Dewan, who put them on. "Hey," said Dewan. "My bobbles aren't bobbling!" Mission accomplished, I thought. Roscoe to the rescue!

“我也是，”玛丽亚说。 “一定是迪斯女士修好的。” 我把球递给格斯和德万。 他们又在玩剑了。 “格斯!”我说。“无剑!这个开放日一定要完美。” “那不是剑，”他说。 “他们光剑。”“给你，”我说。 我把球套在他头上。 把最后一双给了德万，德万穿上了。 “嘿，”德万说。“我的球不动了!”任务完成了，我想。 罗斯科来救援了!
