斯丁莫迪 · 1 Stink The Incredile Shrinking Kid
Up, up, up,
向上,向上,向上,
Stink walked tall down the hall, around the corner, and back to class 2D. "Stink! You won!" said Sophie of the Elves. "While you were gone," said Mrs. Dempster, "we drew a name to see who would get to take Newton home this weekend. Your name was chosen." "For real? Me? I get to take the newt home?" "You have all the luck," said Webster. "Things are definitely looking up, up, UP," said Stink, telling himself a joke and cracking himself up, up, up.
臭臭昂首阔步地走过大厅,转过拐角,回到了二班。 “臭!你们赢了!”精灵们的索菲说。 “你不在的时候,”邓普斯特太太说,“我们抽了一个名字,看谁能在这个周末把牛顿带回家。 你的名字被选中了。”“真的吗? 我吗?我可以把蝾螈带回家吗?”“你真走运,”韦伯斯特说。 “情况肯定在好转,好转,好转。”臭臭说着,给自己讲了个笑话,笑得哈哈大笑。
Stink climbed on the bus. He held the Critter Keeper carefully in his lap. "Don't worry, Newton," said Stink. "I'll take really good care of you. The best." "What's that?" asked Judy when she got on the bus. "A red-spotted newt. Like a baby salamander. His name's Newton." "Where'd you get him?"
臭臭爬上了公共汽车。他小心地把小动物饲养员抱在膝上。 “别担心,牛顿,”臭臭说。 “我会好好照顾你的。 最好的。”“那是什么?”朱迪上车后问道。 “一只红点蝾螈。就像小蝾螈。 他叫牛顿。”“你从哪儿弄来的?”
"He's our class pet. We're studying life cycles, and Mrs. D. went to New Hamster and brought him back for us. I'm taking care of him for the weekend. I get to play with him and watch him and keep a journal of stuff that happens."
“他是我们班的宠物。我们在研究生命周期,迪夫人。 去新仓鼠把他带回来给我们 这个周末我来照顾他。 我可以和他一起玩,看着他,把发生的事情记下来。”
Judy snorted. "New Hampshire, Stink. Not New Hamster." "You mean Newt Hampshire!" said Judy's friend Rocky. "It's in Newt England," said Judy, cracking up. Stink rolled his eyes. When Stink got home, he did not stop to get a snack. Not even Fig Newtons. He took Newton up to his room. He got out his notebook and wrote: Friday 3:37 Newton hiding Stink stared at the newt. Judy came in and peered over his shoulder. Friday 3:40 Newton hiding Friday 3:45 Newton still hiding "You should write BORING in your journal," said Judy. "Newts are not boring," said Stink. "Name one UN-boring thing about a newt," said Judy.
朱迪哼了一声。“新罕布什尔州,臭小子。 不是新仓鼠。”“你是说新罕布什尔州!”朱迪的朋友洛奇说。 “在纽特英格兰,”朱迪笑着说。 臭臭翻白眼。当臭臭回到家,他没有停下来吃零食。 甚至连无花果牛顿都没有。他把牛顿带到楼上他的房间。 他拿出笔记本,写道:星期五3点37分牛顿躲起来了。 朱迪走了进来,从他的肩膀后面偷看。 星期五3点40分牛顿躲起来星期五3点45分牛顿还在躲起来“你应该在日记里写上无聊,”朱迪说。 “蝾螈可不无聊,”臭臭说。 “说出一件关于蝾螈的联合国无聊的事情,”朱迪说。
"Newts eat crickets. And worms and slugs," said Stink. "BOR-ing!" said Judy. "Red-spotted newts are the state amphibian of New Hampshire." "BOR-ing," said Judy. "Okay. How about this? Newts start out as eggs. Then they hatch and swim around like tadpoles. Then they turn into red efts and live on land. Then they change color and go back to the water." "Now that's a teensy-weensy bit not-boring," said Judy. "And they shed their skins," Stink said. "Interesting!" said Judy. "Call me when that happens." On Saturday, Stink wrote in his journal some more.
“蝾螈吃蟋蟀。还有虫子和鼻涕虫。”臭臭说。 “无聊!”朱迪说。“红点蝾螈是新罕布什尔州的州立两栖动物。” “无聊,”朱迪说。“好吧。 这个怎么样?蝾螈从卵开始。 然后它们孵化出来,像蝌蚪一样四处游动。 然后它们变成红色的叶子,生活在陆地上。 然后它们会变色,回到水里。” 朱迪说:“这一点也不无聊。” “它们还蜕皮,”臭臭说。 “有趣!”朱迪说。“到时候给我打电话。” 星期六,臭臭在日记里又写了一些。
