2 The Day We Put Chairs Up Our Noses

The Day We Put Chairs Up Our Noses

我们把椅子放到鼻子里的那一天

"Hey, Terry," I said. "Why do you have a chair up your nose?" "Because it's Chair-Up-Your-Nose Day," he said. "Looks cool, doesn't it? Here, let me put a chair up your nose." "No way!" I said. "Yes way!" said Terry, grabbing a chair and shoving it up my nose. (I don't know if your best friend has ever shoved a chair up your nose, but if they have, you'll know that it doesn't hurt as much as you might think. And it actually does look pretty cool.)

“嘿，特里，”我说。“你鼻子上为什么有把椅子？”“因为今天是‘椅子翘鼻子日’，”他说。 “看起来很酷，不是吗？”来，让我把椅子塞到你鼻子里。” “不可能!”我说。“当然可以！”特里说着，抓起一把椅子塞进我的鼻子里。 (我不知道你最好的朋友是否曾经把椅子推到你的鼻子上，但如果他们有过，你就会知道这并没有你想象的那么痛。 它看起来确实很酷。)

"Happy?" said Terry. "You bet!" I said. "So happy I feel like singing!" "Let's sing the I've-got-a- chair-up-my-nose song!" said Terry. "Okay," I said. "What are the words?" "I don't know yet," said Terry. "We'll make them up as we go along. Ready, set, go!" We each took a deep breath and started singing.

“开心吗？”特里问。“你赌!”我说。 “太高兴了，我想唱歌！”“我们来唱那首我把椅子举到鼻子上的歌吧！”特里说。 “好吧，”我说。“歌词是什么？”“我还不知道，”特里说。 “我们边走边编。 准备，出发！”我们每个人深吸一口气，开始唱歌。

"A chair?!" said Bill the postman, who had just arrived, carrying a large parcel. "Yes!" I said. "How did you guess, Bill?" "Well, I'm no genius," said Bill, "but I see that each of you has a chair up your nose and it is Chair-Up-Your- Nose Day, so I put two and two together. I figured if anybody would have chairs up their noses on Chair-Up- Your-Nose Day, it would be you and Terry."

“椅子？！”邮递员比尔说，他刚来，手里拿着一个大包裹。 “是的!”我说。“你是怎么猜到的，比尔？”“好吧，我不是天才，”比尔说，“但我看到你们每个人的鼻子上都有一把椅子，今天是‘抬鼻子日’，所以我把事实和事实结合起来。 我想，如果有人会在“翘椅子翘鼻子日”把椅子翘到鼻子上，那一定是你和特里。”

"Would you like to have a chair up your nose, Bill?" said Terry. "Oh no," said Bill. "I've got a lot of mail to deliver. I'm much too busy to be putting chairs up my nose." "It doesn't take long," I said, and before I'd even finished speaking, Terry had shoved a chair up Bill's nose. "Oh… my," said Bill, a little surprised. "If I didn't know better, I'd say I had a chair up my nose!" "You do!" I said. "Let's sing the song!" So we made up another verse of the song.

“比尔，你想让椅子顶在你鼻子上吗？”特里说。 “哦，不，”比尔说。“我有很多邮件要送。 我太忙了，没时间把椅子塞进鼻子里。” “不会花很长时间的，”我说，还没等我说完，特里就把一把椅子推到了比尔的鼻子上。 “哦……天哪。”比尔有点惊讶地说。 “如果我不知道，我会说我鼻子上有把椅子！”“你!”我说。 “让我们唱这首歌吧！”所以我们又编了一段。

Just as we finished singing, Jill arrived with a chair up her nose! "How did you know it was Chair-Up-Your-Nose Day,

我们刚唱完歌，吉尔就把椅子顶在鼻子上走过来了！“你怎么知道今天是‘抬鼻子日’，
