09 Definitely the Worst Thing Ever

Definitely the Worst Thing Ever Judy's day was off to a grouchy start. This was the day that Stink, her once smelly, sold-dirt-formoon- dust brother was going with his class to Washington, D.C., to see the president's house! She found out Mom and Dad were going too, as chaperones. Yours Truly had to stay home and finish her Me collage. She, Judy Moody, still had several bald spots to fill. "I think my brain has a leak," Judy told her family. "I can't think of one more interesting thing to put on my collage." Judy sank down on the family-room couch

朱迪的一天一开始就闷闷不乐。 就在这一天，她那曾经臭气熏天、卖土换土的哥哥臭臭的，要和他的同学们一起去华盛顿特区看总统的房子!她发现爸爸妈妈也要去，作为监护人。 亲爱的不得不呆在家里完成她的大学拼贴。 她，朱迪·穆迪，还有几个秃头需要填补。 “我想我的脑子漏了，”朱迪告诉她的家人。 “我想不出还有什么比这更有趣的东西可以放在我的拼贴画上了。” 朱迪在客厅的沙发上坐了下来

like a balloon that had lost three days' air. "Interesting things could happen to me better in Washington, D.C.," said Judy. "You know it's just for the second-grade classes, honey," said Mom. "ROAR!" was all she said. "We might be home late," Dad told her. "You can go to Rocky's after school. You two can finish up your projects together." "You'll have fun," said Mom. "And aren't you going to an assembly today for Brush Your Teeth Week?" How could she forget? One more reason to be grouchy. Stink got to rub elbows with the president while she, Judy Moody, would be shaking the hands of Mr. Tooth and Mrs. Floss. Stink waddled into the family room wrapped in a red and white striped tablecloth,

就像一只失去了三天空气的气球。 “在华盛顿特区，有趣的事情可能会发生在我身上，”朱迪说。 “亲爱的，你知道这只是二年级的课，”妈妈说。 “吼!”她只说了这么一句话。“我们可能会很晚回家，”爸爸告诉她。 “放学后你可以去洛奇家。 你们俩可以一起完成你们的项目。” “你会玩得很开心的，”妈妈说。 “你今天不去参加‘刷牙周’的集会吗?”她怎么会忘记呢? 又多了一个发牢骚的理由。 当她，朱迪·穆迪，与牙先生和弗洛斯夫人握手时，“臭臭”可以与总统亲密接触。 臭臭裹着红白条纹的桌布，摇摇摆摆地走进了客厅，

looking like he just got hit by a flying picnic. "What's that?" asked Judy. "It's a costume, for my YOU ARE THE FLAG project. I'm the flag." "Stink, you're not supposed to be the flag. You're supposed to tell what the flag means to you." "To me it means I am the flag." "What's on your head?"

看起来像是被飞行的野餐击中了。 “那是什么?”朱迪问。 “这是我的‘你是旗帜’项目的服装。 我是旗帜。”“臭，你不应该是那面旗帜。 你应该说出这面旗帜对你意味着什么。” “对我来说，这意味着我就是旗帜。” “你头上戴的是什么?”

"A hat. See, each star is a state, like on the flag. There's one for all forty-eight states." "Guess what. There are fifty states, Stink." "Nuh-uh. I counted. I crossed them off on my map." "Count again," Judy said. "You probably forgot Hawaii and Alaska." "Do you think the president will notice?" asked Stink. "Stink, the president just about made the states. He'll notice." "Okay, okay. I'll stick two more on." "Every other second-grader writes a flag poem or draws a picture for YOU ARE THE FLAG. My brother's a human flag." "What's wrong with that?" "You look like a star-spangled mummy and walk like a banana. That's what."

“一顶帽子。看，每颗星代表一个州，就像国旗上的一样。 所有48个州都有一个。” “猜猜看。有五十个州，臭臭。” “Nuh-uh。我数了数,我在地图上把它们划掉了。” “再数一遍，”朱迪说。“你可能忘了夏威夷和阿拉斯加。” “你觉得总统会注意到吗?”臭臭问。 “臭，总统差一点就造出了这些州。 他会注意到。”“好吧,好吧。 我再粘上两个。”“每一个二年级的学生都会写一首关于国旗的诗，或者画一幅《你是国旗》的画。 我哥哥是一面人类的旗帜。” “这有什么不对吗?”“你看起来像个身披星条旗的木乃伊，走路像香蕉。 这就是。”

"I get to see a room where everything is made of real gold. Even the curtains and bedspreads. Heather Strong says the lamps are made of diamonds." "Heather Strong lies," said Judy. It was no use. She would have to change her Me collage. Frank's birthday party was no longer THE WORST THING EVER. Frank Pearl ate paste for a dare! And he gave her a baby food jar with six ants and a fly for Jaws. Not meeting the president of her own United fifty States was absolutely and positively THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED. Her whole family, including her brother, the human flag, was going to Washington, D.C., while she, Judy Moody, would be listening to a talking tooth.

“我看到了一个房间，里面的一切都是用真金做的。 甚至窗帘和床罩。 希瑟·斯特朗说这些灯是由钻石制成的。” “希瑟·斯特朗在撒谎，”朱迪说。 这没有用。她将不得不换一所大学。 弗兰克的生日派对不再是最糟糕的事情了。 弗兰克·珀尔大冒险吃了酱!他给了她一个婴儿食品罐，里面装着六只蚂蚁和一只苍蝇。 没有见到她自己的美国总统绝对是最糟糕的事情。 她的全家，包括她的兄弟，人类旗，都要去华盛顿特区，而她，朱迪·穆迪，却要听一颗会说话的牙齿说话。
