5. The Amazing Coolness of Noisy Shoes

Chapter 5 The Amazing Coolness of Noisy Shoes "I just had my first tap dance lesson yesterday," Emma said. She put on the shoes. When she walked on the carpet, they just sounded like plain old everyday shoes. But on the hard floor, an amazing thing happened! Emma's feet went click! click! click!

“昨天我刚上了第一堂踢踏舞课，”艾玛说。 她穿上鞋子。当她走在地毯上时，听起来就像普通的普通鞋子。 但是在坚硬的地板上，神奇的事情发生了!艾玛的脚咔哒一声响了!点击!点击!

Those tappers made some serious noise. Emma tapped and twirled, and we all clapped for her. "Amazing tapping, Earth girl," I said into my Mr. Megaphone.

那些敲击声很响。 艾玛又轻拍又旋转，我们都为她鼓掌。 “太棒了，地球女孩，”我对着我的扩音器说。

"Very nice, Emma," said Ms. Diz. "And that's probably enough Mr. Megaphone for today, Roscoe. For the year, actually." I put down the megaphone and raised my hand. "Can boys do tap dancing?" I asked. Wyatt laughed. "Guys don't tap-dance," he said. "Guys do football and soccer."

“很好，艾玛。” 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛“罗斯科，扩音器先生，今天就到此为止吧。 实际上是一年。”我放下扩音器，举起了手。 “男孩会跳踢踏舞吗?”我问。 怀亚特笑了。“男人不会跳踢踏舞，”他说。 “男人喜欢足球和足球。”

"Girls can do soccer," Emma said. Coco stood up. She put her hands on her hips. "Also, I would like to point out that girls rule and boys drool." "Coco, please watch your words," Ms. Diz said. Gus raised his hand. "Ms. Diz?" he said. "Dogs drool. Cats not so much." "Thank you for that, Gus," said Ms. Diz. She took a deep breath. She breathes a lot, actually. "As it happens, Wyatt, there are many famous male tap dancers," said Ms. Diz. "And Emma is right. Some of the best soccer players in the world are girls." She thought for a second. Then she snapped her fingers.

“女孩子也能踢足球，”艾玛说。 可可站了起来。她双手叉腰。 “此外，我想指出的是，女孩统治，男孩流口水。” “可可，说话注意点。” 说那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛。格斯举起了手。 “迪兹女士?”他说。“狗流口水。 猫就不一样了。”“谢谢你，格斯。” 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛她深吸了一口气。 事实上，她经常喘气。 “怀亚特，碰巧有很多著名的踢踏舞男。” 。那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛艾玛是对的。世界上一些最好的足球运动员是女孩。” 她想了一会儿。然后她打了个响指。

"There's something I want you all to see," Ms. Diz said. "I'll give Ms. Bunelli a quick call right now!" Ms. Bunelli is the school media center specialist. But she says just call her the Library Lady. There are about a kazillion books and DVDs and cool things in the library. I do not know how she has time to keep track of them all. I think maybe she never goes home. A few minutes later, Ms. Bunelli came to our class. She was rolling a tall cart with a TV set on it. "Class," said Ms. Diz. "Ms. Bunelli has brought us a DVD of an amazing tap dancer. I think you're going to enjoy this!" Ms. Bunelli pushed some buttons on the DVD player.

“有些东西我想让你们都看看。” 说那个开荒者看起来蛮不错嘛。“我马上给布内利女士打个电话!”Ms。 布内利是学校媒体中心的专家。 但她说就叫她图书馆小姐吧。 图书馆里有无数的书、dvd和很酷的东西。 我不知道她怎么会有时间把他们都记下来。 我想也许她从不回家。 几分钟后，布内利老师来到我们班。 她正推着一辆高大的手推车，上面放着一台电视机。 “同学们，”迪兹老师说。”女士。 布内利给我们带来了一张踢踏舞高手的DVD。 我想你会喜欢的!”Ms。 布内利按了一下DVD播放器上的按钮。

And suddenly, there on the TV, was a man tap-dancing! Rat-tat-tat BOUNCE! Rat-tat-tat BOUNCE! "Hey, that guy is a guy!" Wyatt said. The tapping man spun and jumped and tapped so fast it made my eyes and my ears dizzy. Rat-tat-TAT! He whirled faster and faster—and got louder and louder. RATATATTATATATTATATAT! I never dreamed feet could make so much noise! "Those tap shoes are the best," I whispered to Emma. "If I had those, I would tap twenty-four hours a day!"

突然，电视上出现了一个男人在跳踢踏舞!Rat-tat-tat振作起来!Rat-tat-tat振作起来!“嘿，那家伙是个男的!”怀亚特说。 那个打拍子的人旋转着，跳着，不停地打拍子，打得我的眼睛和耳朵都晕了。 Rat-tat-TAT !他旋转得越来越快，声音也越来越大。 RATATATTATATATTATATAT !我做梦也没想到脚会发出这么大的声音!“那些踢踏舞鞋是最好的，”我低声对艾玛说。 “如果我有这些，我就会一天24小时不停地敲打!”
