8 Arr-grr-grr-arj!

CHAPTER EIGHT ARR-GRR GAA-ARJ WHEN I STEPPED out of the bathroom, Simon made the funniest sound I ever heard. It was like he laughed, snorted, and coughed at the same time. His whole body shook, trembled, and convulsed. He didn't just hold in a laugh. He held in the biggest laugh he had ever wanted to laugh in his entire life. "Shh!" Rosie said and giggled. "Shh!" "I'm trying," Simon said and squeezed his arms around his belly like he was hugging himself super hard. "I'm really trying."

当我走出浴室时，西蒙发出了我所听到过的最有趣的声音。 好像他一边笑，一边哼，一边咳嗽。 他全身颤抖、颤抖、抽搐。 他不只是忍住笑。 他忍住了有生以来想笑的最大的笑声。 “嘘!”罗茜咯咯地笑着说。 “嘘!”“我在努力，”西蒙说着，双手紧紧抱住自己的肚子，就像在用力拥抱自己一样。 “我真的在努力。”

Rosie said, "You better get moving, Molly. Before Simon passes out." I raised my arms in front of me mummy-style and started down the hallway. I needed to pass the third grade classrooms and the second grade classrooms before I would walk past the principal's office. "Make some growling noises or something," Rosie said as I took my first few steps. "We'll be a few minutes behind you." I started growling. Arr-grr-grr-arj! Arr-grr-grr-arj! I walked past a couple of third grade classrooms. I started to pass the second grade classrooms. Arr-grr-grr-arj! But that's as far as I made it. I heard a door open behind me. It was Mrs. Brooks, a third grade teacher. "What in the world?!" she said. I heard her heavy

罗茜说：“你最好快点走，莫莉。 在西蒙晕过去之前。”我像妈妈一样在身前举起双臂，开始沿着走廊走去。 在经过校长办公室之前，我需要经过三年级教室和二年级教室。 “发出一些咆哮之类的声音，”罗西在我刚迈出几步时说。 “我们几分钟后就到。” 我开始咆哮。Arr-grr-grr-arj !Arr-grr-grr-arj !我走过几间三年级的教室。 我开始经过二年级的教室。 Arr-grr-grr-arj !但我就到此为止了。 我听见身后一扇门开了。 是布鲁克斯太太，一个三年级的老师。 “这是怎么回事？！”她说。 我听到她沉重的声音

footsteps approach me from behind. She took hold of my left elbow when she reached me. Arr-grr-grr-arj! "You can stop growling now," Mrs. Brooks said, shaking her head. I stopped growling. And when I did, Mrs. Brooks said the exact thing I wanted to hear. "You're coming with me to the office. We'll see what Principal Shelton has to say about this." I was one step—actually, several mummy steps— closer to counting those Skittles.

脚步声从后面向我走来。 她来到我身边时抓住了我的左肘。 Arr-grr-grr-arj !“你现在可以停止咆哮了，”布鲁克斯太太摇着头说。 我停止了咆哮。当我去的时候，布鲁克斯太太说了我想听的话。 “你跟我去办公室。 我们看看谢尔顿校长会怎么说。” 我离数彩虹糖更近了一步——实际上是好几步。

It has to work, I thought to myself. It has to work. YOU'VE READ MORE THAN 4,320 WORDS! YOU MUST BE SUPER FOCUSED.

它必须起作用，我对自己说。 它必须起作用。你已经读了超过4320个单词！你必须超级专注。
