10 It Hurts So Much!

CHAPTER TEN IT HURTS SO MUCH! "WHAT IS GOING on out here?" Principal Shelton called as she went out to the main office. "I stepped on a tack!" Simon exclaimed. "It hurts so much!" I leaned back in the chair and looked out the doorway. Mrs. B. and Rosie knelt in front of Simon as he held his foot up for them to see. I could see the thumbtack top on the bottom of his flip-flop. It sure looked like there was a thumbtack stuck all the way in. But I knew that wasn't true. I knew the top of it was just glued there. Simon

第十章太痛了！“外面发生了什么事？”谢尔顿校长在她去主办公室的时候喊道。 “我踩到大头钉了！”西蒙喊道。 “好疼啊！”我向后靠在椅子上，望着门口。 当西蒙举起脚给他们看时，b太太和罗西跪在他面前。 我可以看到他的人字拖底部的图钉。 看起来就像有个图钉插进去了。 但我知道那不是真的。 我知道它的顶部是粘在那里的。 西蒙

had clipped off the pointy part with the nail clippers back in the boys' bathroom. "Aaa-oooh!" Simon groaned some more in pain— and Principal Shelton leaned down to look at his foot too. Now was my chance. I didn't have much time. I unzipped my backpack and pulled out the mason jar full of Skittles.

我在男厕所里用指甲钳把尖头部分剪掉了。 “Aaa-oooh !”西蒙又痛苦地呻吟了一声——谢尔顿校长也俯下身去看他的脚。 现在我的机会来了。我没有太多的时间。 我拉开背包的拉链，拿出装满彩虹糖的玻璃瓶。

Rosie and I had emptied the jar the day before when we were done with our after-school snack of raspberry jam on toast. We got the rest of the jam out by running hot water into the jar. While we did that, Simon ran to the grocery store and bought a bunch of Skittles. He dropped them off at my house before going to soccer practice. Rosie and I filled the jar up almost to

罗西和我前一天吃完放学后的点心——覆盆子果酱吐司，就把罐子倒空了。 我们把热水倒进罐子里，把剩下的果酱洗掉了。 当我们这样做的时候，西蒙跑到杂货店买了一堆彩虹糖。 他在去足球训练前把它们放在我家。 罗茜和我把罐子装满了

the top—just like the jar in Principal Shelton's office. Then we put it in my backpack. I looked out to the main office. Rosie, Mrs. B., and Principal Shelton were huddled around Simon. He groaned again and yelled, "No, don't touch it!" I traded our jar for the jar on Principal Shelton's desk. I put her jar into my backpack and zipped it shut. Then I started unwrapping the toilet paper from my calves and ankles. "Okay, okay," I heard Principal Shelton say. "We won't touch it. Go see the school nurse. Rosie, you go with him." I leaned back and peeked out the door. I saw Rosie help Simon up from his chair. He sort of walked- hopped-limped out of the office.

就像谢尔顿校长办公室里的罐子一样。 然后我们把它放在我的背包里。 我向办公室望去。 罗茜、B太太和谢尔顿校长围在西蒙身边。 他又呻吟了一声，喊道：“不，别碰它！”我用我们的罐子换了谢尔顿校长桌上的罐子。 我把她的罐子放进背包，拉上拉链。 然后我开始打开小腿和脚踝上的卫生纸。 “好吧，好吧，”我听到谢尔顿校长说。 “我们不会碰它的。去找学校的护士。 罗西，你和他一起去。”我靠在椅背上，向门外偷看。 我看见罗茜把西蒙从椅子上扶起来。 他好像一瘸一拐地走出了办公室。

He's a pretty good actor. Principal Shelton came back to the office. "What is this? Bizarro day?" she muttered to herself as she returned. "I've got mummies walking the hallway. Students stepping on sharp objects.

他是个相当不错的演员。谢尔顿校长回到了办公室。 “这是什么？”比扎罗的一天？”她回来时自言自语。 “我看到有木乃伊在走廊里走来走去。 学生踩到尖锐的物体。

What's next?" She sat down at her desk and looked across it at me. "It's time to call your parents, Molly." That was okay with me. I had Principal Shelton's jar of Skittles in my backpack. Now, all I had to do was count them. ONLY TWO MORE CHAPTERS TO GO! HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

下一个是什么?”她在书桌前坐下，隔着桌子看着我。 “是时候给你父母打电话了，莫莉。” 这对我来说没什么。我背包里有谢尔顿校长的彩虹糖罐。 现在，我要做的就是数数它们。 只剩下两章了！你感觉怎么样？
