"Science time!" said Mrs. D. "Let's go over your tests." Stink took out his test. He tried to cover up the big red X on the Pluto page with his elbow, in case Nick, the new kid in front of him, turned around. Stink stared at the back of the new kid. His head looked a little like a small, almost-round planet. Just then, Mrs. D. got a call from the principal. "Okay, class. Everybody take out your math workbooks and open to page 101. Keep working while I go talk with Ms. Tuxedo." "Teacher got sent to the principal's office!" somebody snickered. Planet Head Nick turned around. Nick showed Stink his test. Nick had a big fat red X on the Pluto page, just like Stink.

“科学时间！” “我们来看看你的测试结果。” 臭臭拿出了他的试卷。他试图用胳膊肘遮住冥王星那一页上的红色大X，以防他前面的新来的尼克转过身来。 臭臭盯着新来的孩子的后背。 他的头看起来有点像一颗几乎是圆的小行星。 就在这时，d夫人接到了校长的电话。 “好吧,类。大家拿出你们的数学练习册，翻到101页。 你继续工作，我去和史密斯女士谈谈。 礼服。”“老师被送到校长办公室去了！”有人窃笑着说。 行星头尼克转过身来。 尼克给臭臭看他的试卷。 尼克在冥王星那一页上有个又大又红的X，就像臭臭一样。

"I got skunked!" said Planet Head. "Me too!" said Stink, lifting up his elbow. "At my old school," said Nick, "Pluto was still a planet. This is so not fair." "Tell me about it. I was with the nurse getting my ears checked when Mrs. D. told about the NO PLUTO rule. And nobody, not even my best friends, Webster and Sophie of the Elves, told me."

“我被臭鼬了！”行星头说。 “我也是！”臭臭抬起胳膊肘说。 “在我以前的学校，”尼克说，“冥王星还是一颗行星。 这太不公平了。”“告诉我吧。 我和护士在检查耳朵的时候，D夫人。 告诉我们没有冥王星的规则。 没有人告诉我，甚至连我最好的朋友，韦伯斯特和精灵的索菲也没有告诉我。”

"You can call me Skunk, by the way," said Nick. "And you can call me Stink," said Stink. "I thought I was the only person on the planet with a smelly name."

“顺便说一句，你可以叫我臭鼬，”尼克说。 “你可以叫我臭臭，”臭臭说。 “我以为我是这个星球上唯一一个名字很臭的人。”

"Nope. And guess what? I like smelly stuff, just like my name." "Me too!" said Stink. "I was in a smelly-sneaker contest at my old school," said Skunk. "No way!" said Stink. "I got to judge a super- smelly-sneaker contest." "I smelled a durian fruit one time," said Skunk. "It's like the way-worst smell in the world." "P.U.," said Stink. "I want to smell a corpse flower someday." "Freaky-deaky," said Skunk. "Double freaky-deaky," said Stink. "At my old school," said Skunk, "back when there were still nine planets in the solar system, my science book had this neat trick about how to remember them." "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas!" Stink and Skunk said at the same time.

“不。你猜怎么着？我喜欢有味道的东西，就像我的名字一样。” “我也是！”臭臭说。“我在以前的学校参加了一个臭球鞋比赛，”臭鼬说。 “不可能！”“我要当超级臭球鞋比赛的评委。” “有一次我闻到了榴莲的味道，”臭鼬说。 “这是世界上最难闻的气味。” “P.U。”臭臭说。“我想有一天能闻到尸花的味道。” 臭鼬说：“真奇怪。” “双重变态。”臭臭说。 “在我以前的学校，”臭鼬说，“那时候太阳系里还有九大行星，我的科学课本上有一个关于如何记住它们的巧妙技巧。” “我非常优秀的妈妈刚刚给我们端来了九个披萨！”臭鼬和臭鼬同时说。

"Now they'll have to think up a new one," said Skunk, "without the P for Pluto." "Let's see...." said Stink. "How about, My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nothing!" Skunk cracked up. "My Very Excellent Mother Just Said U Nerd!" Sophie said, joining. "Many Vampires Eat Mothballs Just So U Know," piped up Webster. "Those aren't even the right letters!" said Skunk, chuckling. "Many Vampires—" said Webster. "Eat Macaroni Jelly Sandwiches—" said Sophie. "Unless Naked," Stink finished.

“现在他们得想个新名字了，”臭鼬说，“把冥王星的P去掉。” “我们看看....”臭臭说。 “我那非常优秀的母亲什么也没给我们吃怎么样？”臭鼬笑了。 “我非常优秀的妈妈刚刚说了你书呆子！”索菲也说。 韦伯斯特说：“很多吸血鬼都吃樟脑丸，你知道的。” “这些都不是正确的字母！”臭鼬笑着说。 “很多吸血鬼——”韦伯斯特说。 “吃通心粉、果冻三明治——”索菲说。 “除非赤身裸体。”臭臭说完。
