5 The Famous Jameses

The Famous Jameses

著名的詹姆斯

On Monday morning, when Stink told Mrs. D. about the G.D.I. (Garbage Disposal Incident), she said, "Let's just tell the class Newton ran away. It'll be our little secret." She wasn't even mad. She told Stink she was going back to New Hampshire for Presidents' Day weekend, and she could get another newt. Class 2D wrote stories about the adventures they thought Newton was having in the big, wide world. Webster wrote about Newton joining a baseball team called the Newt York Yankees. Sophie of the Elves wrote about a magic kingdom where Princess Salamandra was under an evil spell and a newt in shining armor came to rescue her. And Stink wrote about Newton sailing down

星期一早上，臭臭告诉D太太。 关于G.D.I.（垃圾处理事件），她说，“我们就告诉全班牛顿跑了。 这是我们之间的小秘密。” 她甚至没有生气。她告诉臭臭她要回新罕布什尔州过总统日周末，她可以再养一条蝾螈。 二年级学生写故事，讲述他们认为牛顿在广阔的世界里所经历的冒险。 韦伯斯特写到牛顿加入了一支叫纽约洋基队的棒球队。 精灵的苏菲写了一个魔法王国，萨拉曼德拉公主中了邪恶的咒语，一只穿着闪亮盔甲的蝾螈来救她。 臭臭写了牛顿航行下来的事

the river on a raft to Legoland and riding the roller coaster. The stories made everybody feel much better. Especially Stink. Mrs. D. even told Stink he could keep Newton's skin. As in, for real. For good. Forever.

乘木筏到乐高乐园和坐过山车。 这些故事让每个人都感觉好多了。 特别臭。d太太甚至告诉臭臭他可以留着牛顿的皮肤。 是真的。为好。 直到永远。

Mrs. Dempster talked about Presidents' Day for the rest of the week. Stink's class made cotton-ball portraits of George Washington. They made milk- carton-and-pretzel-stick log cabins in honor of Abraham Lincoln. Everybody said how tall Abe

登普斯特夫人在这周剩下的时间里谈论总统日。 斯臭的班级制作乔治·华盛顿的棉球肖像。 为了纪念亚伯拉罕·林肯，他们建造了牛奶纸盒和椒盐卷饼棒的小木屋。 每个人都说亚伯有多高

was. How tall his hat was. Tall, tall, tall. They acted like Abraham Lincoln was a giant. "What's so great about living in a log cabin?" Stink asked Webster. "Lincoln carved his math problems on the walls, right in the logs." "He should have gotten in trouble for writing on the walls!" Stink said. All week, nobody said a word about Stink's favorite president, James Madison. Not one peep. James Madison had a birthday, too. March 16. Mrs. Dempster told the class, "Okay, 2D. Homework is on the board." "I know! I know!" said Calvin. "Presidents' Day means you see flags." "It means we don't have school on Monday," said Webster.

是什么。他的帽子有多高。 高，高，高。他们表现得好像亚伯拉罕·林肯是个巨人。 “住在小木屋里有什么好？”韦伯斯特问道。 “林肯把他的数学题刻在墙上，就在原木上。” “他应该因为在墙上乱涂乱画而受到惩罚！”臭说。 整个星期，没有人对臭臭最喜欢的总统詹姆斯·麦迪逊说一句话。 一点声音也没有。詹姆斯·麦迪逊也有生日。 3月16日。登普斯特老师告诉学生们：“好的，2D。 作业在黑板上。” “我知道!我知道！”加尔文说。 “总统日意味着你会看到国旗。” 韦伯斯特说：“这意味着我们星期一不用上课。”

"It means you can buy stuff on sale, because presidents are on money," said Heather S. "Let's not give away all our ideas," said Mrs. D. "I want everybody to write one page about what Presidents' Day means to you." "Can we draw something, too?" asked Lucy. "Can we write a poem?" asked Sophie of the Elves. "Can we dress up?" asked Stink. "Yes, yes, and yes," his teacher said. "But I still want my one page." Stink took out his Big Head book of presidents. He flipped to the best president ever. President number four, James Madison.

“这意味着你可以买打折的东西，因为总统们都很有钱，”希瑟？ “我们不要把所有的想法都说出来，”D夫人说。 “我希望每个人都用一页纸来描述总统日对你的意义。” “我们也能画点什么吗？”露茜问。 “我们能写首诗吗？”苏菲问精灵们。 “我们能打扮一下吗？”臭臭问。 “是的，是的，是的，”他的老师说。 “但我还是想要那一页。” 臭臭拿出他的大头总统书。 他变成了有史以来最好的总统。 第四任总统詹姆斯·麦迪逊。
