4. Happy Apple Orchard

Chapter 4 Happy Apple Orchard When I first heard about our field trip, I was pretty excited. Almost as excited as my teacher, Ms. Diz. She told us about the trip in a very thrilled way, with tons of exclamation points in her voice. "Children!" Ms. Diz said first thing that morning. "I have a wonderful surprise! This Friday we are going on a field trip! The first one

当我第一次听说我们的实地考察旅行时，我非常兴奋。 几乎和我的老师一样兴奋。 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛她用一种非常激动的方式向我们讲述了这次旅行，声音里充满了感叹号。 “孩子!”迪兹女士那天早上说的第一件事。 “我有一个绝妙的惊喜!”这个星期五我们要去实地考察!第一个

for our class!" She grinned. "And the first one for me since I became a teacher!" Ms. Diz is a brand-new teacher. I help her out whenever I can. I know a lot because I am a retired kindergartner. "My brother's class went on a trip to a bakery and they got free doughnuts," I said. Then I raised my hand real quick because sometimes I forget to remember that part. You aren't supposed to talk until you put your hand up in the air and wave it like crazy because that is better than just yelling at the top of your lungs. "If we can't go on a bakery field trip, maybe a cotton-candy factory would be good. Or an aquarium with giant, kid-eating sharks," I added. Sometimes my imagination button gets stuck on fast-forward.

为了我们班!”她咧嘴一笑。 “也是我当老师以来的第一次!”Ms。 迪兹是一位新老师。 我一有机会就帮她。 我知道很多，因为我是一名退休的幼儿园学生。 “我哥哥的班级去面包店旅行，他们得到了免费的甜甜圈，”我说。 然后我很快举起了手因为有时候我会忘记这部分。 你不应该说话，直到你把手举起来，疯狂地挥动它，因为这比扯着嗓子大喊大叫要好。 “如果我们不能去面包店实地考察，也许棉花糖工厂会很好。 或者是养着吃小孩的大鲨鱼的水族馆，”我补充说。 有时我的想象力按钮会被快进键卡住。

"Those are great suggestions, Roscoe," said Ms. Diz. "But we've already made plans for this trip. I'll give you a hint, class. What have we been learning about the past few weeks?" "If you squeeze your juice box hard, you get a gusher!" said Dewan. "Do not pick your nose during snack time," Coco said. For some reason, she looked right at me. "The pencil sharpener is not for crayons," Gus offered. Ms. Diz held up her hands to make a T. Like a coach taking a time-out. She does that when she wants us to be quiet. Which is pretty often, come to think of it. "We've been learning about where our food comes from," Ms. Diz reminded us.

罗斯科，这些都是很好的建议。 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛“但是我们已经为这次旅行制定了计划。 同学们，我给你们一个提示。 过去几个星期我们都了解到些什么?”Dewan说:“如果你用力挤压果汁盒，就会有井喷!” “不要在吃零食的时候挖鼻孔，”可可说。 不知道为什么，她直勾勾地看着我。 “卷笔刀不是用来画蜡笔的，”格斯说。 迪兹女士举起双手做了一个T字。 就像教练暂停休息一样。 她想让我们安静的时候就会这么做。 仔细想想，这是很常见的。 “我们一直在了解我们的食物从何而来。” 迪兹提醒我们。

She said the last part very slowly. So our brains could catch up with her mouth. "Remember we talked about how vegetables and fruits come from farms?" Ms. Diz asked. "And about how the farmers grow the food and pick it, then send it on trucks to stores where we can buy it? I know how much you guys love applesauce, and apple pies, and taffy apples," Ms. Diz said. "That's why we are going to visit—" I finished for her. "THE GROCERY STORE!!!" I yelled. "I LOVE the grocery store because I push the cart for my mom and dad

她把最后一部分说得很慢。 这样我们的大脑就能跟上她的嘴了。 “还记得我们说过蔬菜和水果是怎么从农场来的吗?”Ms。 问那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛。“还有农民如何种植和采摘食物，然后用卡车送到我们可以买到的商店?” 我知道你们有多喜欢苹果酱、苹果派和太妃糖苹果。 说那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛。“这就是为什么我们要去拜访——”我替她说完。 “杂货店!!”我喊道。 “我喜欢杂货店，因为我帮爸爸妈妈推购物车

except not anymore because I knocked over a watermelon pile and that knocked over a lemon pile and whoa, that was cool because it looked just like pink lemonade!" "Roscoe," said Ms. Diz while I stopped to take a breath, "I need you to think before speaking. Okay?" I thought for a while. "Okay!" I said after I figured I'd been thinking long enough. "As I was trying to say," said Ms. Diz, "we are going to an apple orchard!" "You mean where they make apples?" Gus asked. "They don't make apples, they grow them," said Ms. Diz. "There are hundreds of apple trees at Happy Apple Orchard. They produce all kinds of apples. Green and red and yellow, sweet and sour. We'll each get to pick our own apples!" That was way better than a field trip to a plain old field!

但现在不是了，因为我撞倒了一堆西瓜，那堆西瓜又撞倒了一堆柠檬，哇，这太酷了，因为它看起来就像粉红色的柠檬水!”“罗斯科。” 当我停下来喘口气时，迪兹说:“我需要你在说话前考虑一下。 没事吧?”我想了一会儿。 “好吧!”我是在我想得够久之后说的。 “正如我想说的，”她说。 迪兹:“我们要去苹果园!”“你是说他们生产苹果的地方吗?”格斯问道。 “他们不做苹果，他们种苹果。” 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛“快乐苹果园里有数百棵苹果树。 他们生产各种各样的苹果。 绿，红，黄，甜，酸。 我们每个人都可以摘自己的苹果!”这比去一个普通的老地方实地考察要好得多!

We did a lot of cheering and jumping out of our chairs and clapping. Until Ms. Diz had to ring her gong. It is a very loud bell that helps us Stay Focused. Staying Focused is when you Stop Acting Like Preschoolers, Class. "They make lots of food at Happy Apple too," Ms. Diz said when we were quiet. "We'll get to see them bake apple pies and make applesauce. We might even get to eat some! But only if you all are on your best behavior." Pie and applesauce? That was too much great news. Ms. Diz had to gong four times before we settled down. But who could blame us? We were going on a field trip to see happy apples!

我们欢呼雀跃，从椅子上跳起来鼓掌。 直到迪兹女士不得不敲响她的锣。 这是一个非常响亮的铃声，帮助我们保持专注。 保持专注是当你不再表现得像个学龄前儿童，同学们。 “他们在快乐苹果也做很多食物。” 当我们安静下来的时候，迪兹说。 “我们会看到他们烤苹果派，做苹果酱。 我们甚至可以吃一些!但前提是你们都表现得很好。” 派和苹果酱?好消息太多了。 迪兹女士敲了四次才安顿下来。 但谁能怪我们呢?我们要去实地考察快乐的苹果!
