6. One Hundred Apples Up High in a Tree

Chapter 6 One Hundred Apples Up High in a Tree When our field-trip day finally came, I woke up extra early to be sure I wouldn't miss anything. Turns out four in the morning is a little too early. Moms and dads are very grumbly that time of day.

当我们野外旅行的日子终于到来时，我起得特别早，以确保我不会错过任何东西。 结果发现凌晨四点有点太早了。 每天的那个时候，妈妈和爸爸都很抱怨。

After I took the bus to school, we did the usual morning stuff. The Pledge of a Wee Gent. Morning Nouncements. Calendar. Weather. And Sharing Time. I shared Hazel's magic fortune-telling ball. It was my second time sharing it. But Ms. Diz said that was okay because I was clearly very attached to it. Also, it was my last day of having the ball. After school I had to give it back to Hazel. She'd reminded me at breakfast.

我坐公共汽车去学校后，我们做了平常的晨间活动。 一个小绅士的誓言。早上Nouncements。 日历。天气。分享时间。 我分享了海柔尔的魔法占卜球。 这是我第二次分享它。 但迪斯女士说没关系，因为我显然很喜欢它。 而且，这是我参加舞会的最后一天。 放学后我不得不把它还给海柔尔。 早餐时她提醒过我。

Twice. The first time I shared the ball, I had forgotten to ask it a yes-or-no question. This time I asked it, "Will this be my most funnest day ever?" I turned it over and checked the answer. "'OUTLOOK CLOUDY,'" I read. "It's going to rain?" Gus cried. "But that means no apple picking!" "I think the ball means a different kind of cloudy," said Ms. Diz. "It means it's not sure what the answer is. But let's remember it's just a toy, and toys can't tell the future. Besides, I think it's a pretty safe bet that today will be a fun day for all of you."

两次。第一次和别人一起参加舞会时，我忘了问一个是或否的问题。 这次我问它:“今天会是我最开心的一天吗?”我把它翻过来，核对了一下答案。 “‘前景多云’，”我念道。 “要下雨了?”格斯哭了。 “但这意味着不能摘苹果!”“我认为球意味着另一种阴天，”她说。 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛这意味着它不确定答案是什么。 但我们要记住，它只是个玩具，玩具不能预知未来。 此外，我想今天对你们大家来说肯定会是有趣的一天。”

At last we lined up and headed outside to the field-trip bus. I sat next to Emma. She's my best friend. Gus sat in front of us. He's my other best friend. Gus had to sit next to Wyatt. Sometimes I call Wyatt "Bully Breath."

最后，我们排好队，走向外面的实地考察巴士。 我坐在艾玛旁边。她是我最好的朋友。 格斯坐在我们前面。他是我另一个最好的朋友。 格斯不得不坐在怀亚特旁边。 有时候我管怀亚特叫“恶霸口气”。

When I do that, Mom corrects me. "Let's just say that Wyatt does not exactly have a winning personality," she says. But that's way too many words to remember. Today we had to be polite to Wyatt because he was part of our apple-picking team. On the bus there were some moms and dads, but my mom and dad couldn't come because they had to work. Which was okay. Because sometimes parents can be embarrassing.

当我这样做的时候，妈妈会纠正我。 她说:“这么说吧，怀亚特的性格并不讨人喜欢。” 但是要记住的单词太多了。 今天我们得对怀亚特客气一点，因为他是我们采苹果队的一员。 在公共汽车上有一些爸爸妈妈，但是我的爸爸妈妈不能来，因为他们要工作。 这还好。因为有时候父母会让人尴尬。

Like when they wipe your nose with a tissue when you have a perfectly good sleeve available. Before we got going, Ms. Diz stood up at the front of the bus. We were pretty exuberant. Emma taught me that word. She likes words a lot. It means "full of excitement." Only exuberant sounds better. We were so exuberant, I'll bet Ms. Diz wished she had her gong with her. "I know you're all thrilled about our first field trip!" said Ms. Diz when we finally quieted down. "Now, when we first arrive at the orchard, we are going to listen to a lecture. After that we will pick apples. Do you all remember the rule we talked about?" "Stay with your apple team!" we yelled.

就像当他们用纸巾擦你的鼻子时，你有一个完美的袖子。 在我们出发之前，迪兹女士站在巴士前面。 我们都很兴奋。艾玛教我的那个词。 她非常喜欢文字。它的意思是“充满兴奋”。 只有“旺盛”听起来更好。 我们当时很兴奋，我敢打赌。 Diz希望她有她的锣在身边。 “我知道你们对我们的第一次实地考察都很兴奋!” 当我们终于安静下来的时候。 “现在，当我们第一次到达果园时，我们要听一个讲座。 之后我们将摘苹果。 你们还记得我们谈过的规则吗?”“留在你的苹果团队里!”我们喊道。
