Chapter 11 There's Honor in Becoming a Guinea Pig's Knight. And Even More Honor in Apologizing! "As you can see," Morgan explained, "the hamsters seem a little lonely. I was wondering if you had any advice for—" "The solution is simple." Principal Ferris peered at the duchess. "They should be sent somewhere else." Morgan froze in surprise. "They…what?" "The purpose of a school pet is to provide joy to the students. And comfort, and entertainment, and a sense of responsibility. If the guinea pig is doing that better, then Prince Pellets is all we need."

第十一章成为天竺鼠的骑士是一种荣誉 在道歉中获得更多荣誉！“正如你所看到的，”摩根解释说，“仓鼠们看起来有点孤独。 我想知道你是否有什么建议——”“解决办法很简单。” 费里斯校长凝视着公爵夫人。 “他们应该被送到别的地方去。” 摩根吓呆了。“他们……什么?”“学校养宠物的目的是给学生们带来快乐。 舒适，娱乐，还有责任感。 如果那只豚鼠做得更好，那么我们就只需要小球王子了。”

This was not going how Morgan thought it would. They stood together for a moment while Ms. Minerva's reading club turned pages on the other side of the room. Principal Ferris demanded, "What is your name?" "Morgan. Morgan Mercado."

事情并没有像摩根想象的那样发展。 他们在一起站了一会儿。 密涅瓦的读书俱乐部在房间的另一边翻页。 费里斯校长问：“你叫什么名字？”“摩根。 摩根梅尔卡多。”

"I know you are new here, Morgan, but at Ironsword Academy we want only the brightest, best, and most perfect education for our students. You and your friends will have to learn this if you want to fit in." "But the baron isn't worse than Prince Pellets!" Morgan argued. "Prince Pellets was just here first. The students have had more time to get to know him. We should—" "Ahem," Principal Ferris interrupted Morgan, looking him directly in the eyes. "I have a question for you, Mr. Mercado. As I have just told you, we do things the best way here at Ironsword. Do you understand that?" Morgan knew what the principal wanted to hear, so he said, "Yes." "I'm so glad you said that. I'll recommend to Ms. Minerva that the hamsters be moved if they continue to be redundant, superfluous, and simply extra. They can go with all that junk in the lab." Principal Ferris turned and walked away. "First

“我知道你是新来的，摩根，但在铁剑学院，我们只想为学生提供最聪明、最好、最完美的教育。 如果你想融入社会，你和你的朋友就必须学会这一点。” “可是男爵并不比皮什王子差！”摩根说。 “皮什王子先来的。 学生们有更多的时间去了解他。 我们应该——”“嗯哼。”费里斯校长直视着摩根的眼睛，打断了他的话。 “我有个问题要问你，梅尔卡多先生。 正如我刚才告诉你的，在铁剑，我们做事的方式是最好的。 你明白吗？”摩根知道校长想听什么，所以他说：“是的。” “我很高兴你这么说。 我会向密涅瓦女士建议，如果仓鼠仍然是多余的，多余的，或者只是多余的，那就把它们搬走。 他们可以在实验室里处理所有的垃圾。” 费里斯校长转身走开了。 “第一

Harper, then Theo, and now you. I recommend you learn our school's rules before I have to learn any more of your names." He didn't say or else, but Morgan heard it loud and clear. The principal opened the door to leave. To his surprise, he found Jodi standing on the other side, just about to walk in. "Principal Ferris! Excuse me, I was just looking for—" Morgan put a finger to his lips to tell her to stay quiet as the principal left the room. Ms. Minerva's reading club was finishing the day's chapters. The students were starting to gather around Prince Pellets. "Who's that?" Jodi asked. "He's super cute." "Shhh!" Morgan shook his head. "You'll upset them." He pointed at the hamsters. "Sorry." Jodi put on a big frown and said sarcastically. "Who cares if he's so cute? And has an adorable and silly crown? Who does that guinea pig think he is?"

哈珀，西奥，现在是你。 在我知道你们的名字之前，我建议你们先了解一下我们学校的规章制度。” 他什么也没说，但摩根听得清清楚楚。 校长打开门离开了。 令他吃惊的是，他发现乔迪站在另一边，正准备走进去。 “校长摩天!对不起，我只是在找——”校长离开房间时，摩根把一个手指放在嘴唇上，让她保持安静。 密涅瓦所在的读书俱乐部即将读完当天的章节。 学生们开始围着皮什王子。 “那是谁?”乔迪•问道。“他超级可爱。” “嘘!”摩根摇了摇头。 “你会惹恼他们的。”他指着仓鼠。 “对不起。”乔迪皱起眉头，讽刺地说。 “谁在乎他长得帅不帅？ 戴着可爱又傻傻的王冠？ 那只豚鼠以为自己是谁啊？”

Morgan let Baron Sweetcheeks sit on the top of his head. The baron snuggled into his hair. "I think they miss Woodsword students. Everybody here likes Prince Pellets." "Then I'm upset, too." Morgan continued. "And Principal Ferris was no help. He thinks they shouldn't be here at all." He was still feeling bad about his argument with Jodi. He realized that the way he'd talked to Jodi was a lot like the way Principal Ferris had talked about the hamsters. They sat in silence for a moment. Then, suddenly, they talked at the same time: "I'm sorry I was so impatient." "No. I'm sorry I was so stubborn." And then they started laughing.

摩根让甜颊男爵坐在他的头顶上。 男爵蜷缩在他的头发里。 “我想他们想念森林宝剑的学生。 这里的每个人都喜欢小球王子。” “那我也很难过。”摩根继续。 费里斯校长也帮不上忙。 他认为他们根本不应该在这里。” 他还在为和乔迪的争吵感到难过。 他意识到他和乔迪说话的方式很像费里斯校长谈论仓鼠的方式。 他们默默地坐了一会儿。 然后，突然，他们异口同声地说：“对不起，我太没耐心了。” “没有。对不起，我太固执了。” 然后他们开始大笑。

"I shouldn't have gotten mad at you so fast. You were right. It does make sense for you to play my character if it'll save Eek," said Jodi. "And I shouldn't have been so upset in the first place. It was my choice to jump in front of those arrows, and it was because I wanted to be a hero. Getting mad at you for the consequences isn't fair."

“我不应该这么快就生你的气。 你是对的。如果能救艾克，你扮演我的角色是有意义的。”乔迪说。 “我一开始就不应该这么难过。 这是我的选择，跳到那些箭前，因为我想成为一个英雄。 因为后果而生你的气是不公平的。”
