07 Finch-Face Freakout

Finch-Face Freakout Dinnertime! The Moodys waited for Jessica Finch and her family at KaBob's Place. Stink showed Judy the menu. "Every food here is on a stick. Hot-dog kabobs. Batter- dipped-veggie kabobs. Even fruit kabobs." Judy was building the Washington Monument out of sugar packets. "Stink, don't shake the— Tim-ber!" said Judy, as her sugar packets came crashing down. At last, the Finches arrived. Judy and Stink could not stop talking about Washingfun. They told Jessica about the Bad Mood House and the giant chair and the way-old dung. Judy glanced all around. "Hey, where's your

晚餐时间到了！穆迪一家在烤肉店等着杰西卡·芬奇和她的家人。 臭臭把菜单拿给朱迪看。 “这里的每一种食物都是用棍子做的。 热狗串。蘸面糊的蔬菜烤肉串。 甚至是水果串。”朱迪正在用糖包搭华盛顿纪念碑。 “臭，别摇——木——木——木！”朱迪说，她的糖包掉了下来。 最后，雀类来了。 朱迪和臭臭一直在谈论华盛顿。 他们告诉杰西卡关于坏心情屋的事，还有那把巨大的椅子，还有那堆老粪。 朱迪环顾四周。“嘿，你的。

pig?" she asked. "PeeGee WeeGee's in the car," said Jessica. "He'll be okay in his kennel while we eat," said Mr. Finch. After they ordered, Mom said, "So, tomorrow's the big spelling bee, Jessica. How do you feel?" "My tummy's doing gymnastics," said Jessica. "It's like the Olympics in there." "Nothing a grilled-cheese kabob won't fix," said Mrs. Finch. "I could never ever spell in front of a million people," said Judy. "Even with my lucky penny." Jessica Finch took out her list of spelling words. "I have to keep studying. Only seventeen hours and thirty-three minutes till Bee Time." "Hey. Want me to quiz you?" Judy asked.

猪？”她问。“皮吉，皮吉在车里，”杰西卡说。 “我们吃饭的时候，它在狗窝里会没事的，”芬奇先生说。 点完餐后，妈妈说：“杰西卡，明天是拼字大赛。 你感觉怎么样？”“我的肚子在做体操，”杰西卡说。 “那里就像奥运会一样。” “没有什么是烤奶酪串不能解决的，”芬奇太太说。 “我永远不会在一百万人面前拼写，”朱迪说。 “即使是我的幸运便士。” 杰西卡·芬奇拿出了她的拼写单词表。 “我必须继续学习。离蜜蜂时间还有17小时33分钟。” “嘿。要我考考你吗？”朱迪问。

"I'll be your study buddy." "Great idea, girls," said Mom. Judy ran her finger down the list. Jessica spelled neighbor and zipper and alligator. She spelled library and geography. "Spell shampoo banana," said Stink. "Shampoo banana is not on the spelling list,

“我将成为你的学习伙伴。” “好主意，孩子们，”妈妈说。 朱迪用手指顺着名单往下看。 杰西卡拼的是邻居，拉链和鳄鱼。 她拼了图书馆和地理。 “拼写香波香蕉，”臭臭说。 “香波香蕉（Shampoo banana）不在拼写列表上，

Stink." "S-H-A-M-P-O-O B-A-N-A-N-A," said Jessica. "Sure," said Judy, "but can you spell berryfurrymerrycherryhoneybunnyfunny?" "That's like half the words on page one," Jessica said. "I bet you can, Sweet Pea," said Mr. Finch. Jessica took a deep breath. "B-E-R-R-Y-F-U-RR- Y-M-E-R-R-Y-C-H-E-R-R-Y-H-O-N-E-Y-B-U-N-NY- F-U-N-N-Y." "As your study buddy," said Judy, "can I just say? You are so going to win." "We heard Orchard Elementary has a boy named Sanjay Sharma who's really good. He may be tough to beat," said Mr. Finch. "Yes, but can he spell half the words on page one at warp speed without taking a breath?"

臭。”“S-H-A-M-P-O-O - B-A-N-A-N-A，”杰西卡说。 “当然，”朱迪说，“但是你会拼写berryfurrymerrycherryhoneybunnyfunny吗？”“这差不多是第一页上一半的单词，”杰西卡说。 “我打赌你能，小甜豆，”芬奇先生说。 杰西卡深吸了一口气。 “B-E-R-R-Y-F-U-RR - Y-M-E-R-R-Y-C-H-E-R-R-Y-H-O-N-E-Y-B-U-N-NY F-U-N-N-Y。” “作为你的学习伙伴，”朱迪说，“我能说句话吗？ 你一定会赢的。”“我们听说果园小学有个男孩叫桑杰·夏尔马，他非常棒。 他可能很难被打败，”芬奇先生说。 “是的，但他能一口气以极快的速度拼写第一页上一半的单词吗？”

"Thanks," said Jessica. At the salad bar, Jessica spelled mushroom and watermelon. She spelled artichoke, cucumber, and cauliflower. "Even the salad is on a stick!" said Jessica, showing off her plate. "Jessica can spell the whole salad bar!" Judy told everybody at the table. She set the spelling list in her lap. "Those are page three words," said Jessica. "It's page four that gets me. Like heirloom. I keep spelling it HAIR-loom." "Those are like fourth-grade words," said Judy. When their main courses came, Stink said, "Even vegetables taste good on a stick." "Stink would eat camel on a stick," said Judy. "Hey, Jessica? Can you spell

“谢谢，”杰西卡说。在沙拉吧，杰西卡拼出了蘑菇和西瓜。 她拼出了洋蓟、黄瓜和花椰菜。 “连沙拉都是用棍子做的！”杰西卡说着，炫耀着她的盘子。 “杰西卡能拼出整个沙拉吧！”朱迪告诉了餐桌上的每个人。 她把拼写表放在腿上。 “这是第三页的单词，”杰西卡说。 “这是第4页，让我。 像传家宝。我一直把它拼成发织机。” “那些就像四年级的单词，”朱迪说。 当主菜端上来时，臭臭说：“连蔬菜放在棍子上也好吃。” “臭臭会把骆驼放在棍子上吃，”朱迪说。 “嘿,杰西卡?你会拼写吗？

KABOBBLEHEAD?" Just then, Judy dropped her mini-meatball kabob. It landed— SPLAT! —right smack-dab in the middle of her lap! On her lap was not a napkin, but... Jessica's spelling list! Page four. Judy swiped at the spelling list with her napkin. Yikes-a-roni! Page four now had a big fat meatball smudge that would not budge. Judy flipped the list back to page one. Good thing they were done studying. She slid the list across the table toward Jessica's plate. When they got to the hotel, Mom and Dad checked them in. They stood in line behind a guy with a pet iguana named Iggy. A kid walked past them in the lobby with a chinchilla on a leash.

KABOBBLEHEAD ?”就在这时，朱迪掉了她的迷你肉丸串。 它落地了——啪！-正好在她的大腿中间！她腿上放的不是餐巾，但是…… 杰西卡的拼写表！四页。 朱迪用餐巾扫了一下拼写表。 Yikes-a-roni !现在第四页上有一个又大又肥的肉丸污迹，一动也不动。 朱迪把单子翻回第一页。 好在他们已经完成了学习。 她把单子滑过桌子，放到杰西卡的盘子里。 他们到了旅馆，爸爸妈妈给他们办理了入住手续。 他们排在一个男人后面，他有一只名叫伊基的鬣蜥宠物。 一个小孩在大厅里牵着一只栗鼠从他们身边走过。
