07 The Mighty Fourth-Grader

The Mighty Fourth-Grader Judy was quizzing the Bookworms about Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing when the doorbell rang. Dingdong-ding-dong-ding-dong. "Sheesh!" said Judy. "You'd think it was Girl Scout cookie time or something." "Who else could it be?" asked Stink. "There's only one Bookworm missing," said Sophie. "Jessica A. Finch!" said Judy. She dropped her book and ran downstairs to answer the door. It was not Jessica Finch. It was Amy Namey. Amy Namey, Ace Reporter, rushed through the front door. She had her clipboard under her arm and a pencil behind her ear. "News flash," said Amy. "I ran all the way over here to give you the big news in person." Judy tried to think of really big news. She imagined

强大的四年级学生朱迪正在给书呆子们做关于“四年级故事”的测验，这时门铃响了。 Dingdong-ding-dong-ding-dong。 “哎呀！”朱迪说。“你会以为这是女童子军的饼干时间什么的。” “还能是谁呢？”臭臭问。 “只少了一个书呆子。”索菲说。 “杰西卡·a·芬奇！”朱迪说。 她扔下书，跑下楼去开门。 不是杰西卡·芬奇。是艾米·奈米。 王牌记者艾米·奈米冲进了前门。 她腋下夹着写字板，耳后夹着一支铅笔。 “快讯，”艾米说。“我大老远跑来，就是为了亲自告诉你这个重大消息。” 朱迪试图想出真正的大新闻。 她想象

these headlines: HURRICANE CAUSES BIG BAD BLACKOUT SWARM OF BEES FINDS FROG NECK LAKE BIGFOOT SIGHTING ON CROAKER ROAD Judy dashed upstairs with Amy. "Listen up, everybody. Amy has big fat news." "Mr. Todd said I could be the reporter for the Book Quiz Blowout. I'm going to write about it for our school paper. I went to Braintree Academy to get a big scoop on the Bloodsucking Fake-Mustache Defenders. Guess what I found out!" "They all wear fake mustaches?" asked Sophie. "They're really vampires?" asked Frank. "And they vant to suck the Bookvorm brains right out of our heads?" asked Judy in her best vampire voice.

这些标题：飓风造成严重停电蜂群发现蛙颈湖大脚怪在克罗克路上朱迪和艾米冲上楼。 “大家听好了。艾米有个天大的消息。” “托德先生说我可以做《读书大测验》的记者。 我打算把它写在校报上。 我去布伦特里学院是为了获得关于吸血假胡子卫士的独家新闻。 猜猜我发现了什么！”“他们都留假胡子？”苏菲问。 “他们真的是吸血鬼吗？”弗兰克问。 “他们想从我们的脑袋里吸走书虫的大脑？”朱迪用她最好的吸血鬼声音问道。

"No, no, no. Nothing like that... I found out... the other team has..." "Has the pukes?" asked Stink. "Has mustaches for real?" Frank asked. "Has supersonic speed-readers?" asked Judy. "The other team has a... fourth-grader!" said Amy in an almost-whisper. Sophie's mouth dropped open. Stink's eyes got as big as silver-dollar pancakes. The room went dead quiet. So quiet you could have heard a page turn. "Her name is Mighty Fantaskey," said Amy. Gulp! "Her name is Mighty?" asked Judy. "What kind of a name is that?" asked Sophie. "Sounds like a mighty fantastic name to me," said Frank.

“不，不，不。不是那样的…… 我发现…另一队有……” “有呕吐物吗？”臭臭问。 “真的有胡子吗？”弗兰克问。 “有超音速读速器吗？”朱迪问。 “另一队有……四年级！”艾米几乎是耳语般地说。 索菲的嘴张得大大的。 臭臭的眼睛变得和银元煎饼一样大。 房间里鸦雀无声。安静得你都能听到翻页的声音。 “她的名字叫Mighty Fantaskey，”艾米说。 杯!“她叫Mighty?”朱迪问。 “这是什么名字啊？”苏菲问。 “听起来真是个了不起的名字，”弗兰克说。

"Sounds like a superhero name!" said Stink. "She could be a superhero!" "Or she could be a fourth-grade nothing," said Judy, holding up her book. "I didn't meet her," said Amy. "But the other kids on her team say she eats books for breakfast. That

“听起来像超级英雄的名字！”臭臭说。 “她可以成为超级英雄！”“或者她可能是个四年级的小屁孩，”朱迪举起她的书说。 “我没见过她，”艾米说。 但她团队里的其他孩子说她把书当早餐吃。 那

means she's a brainiac." "Stink's a brainiac, too," said Sophie. "His superhero name could be Encyclopedia Stink." "And don't forget Judy's been to college," said Frank. "Sort of," said Judy. "Mighty Fantaskey knows how to speed-read," said Amy. "They say she can read a whole page as fast as you can turn it." "That's impossible," said Frank. "No, it's not," said Stink. "Judy can speed-read. She showed me." "Not really," said Judy. She hated to admit it. Amy went on. "They say she reads fifth-grade books, like Harry Potter Book Five. She didn't just

说明她很聪明。”“臭臭也很聪明。”索菲说。 “他的超级英雄名字可以叫臭百科全书。” “别忘了朱迪上过大学，”弗兰克说。 “差不多吧，”朱迪说。“Mighty Fantaskey知道怎么速读，”艾米说。 “他们说她读一整页的速度和你翻页的速度一样快。” “那是不可能的，”弗兰克说。 “不，不是，”臭臭说。 “朱迪会速读。她给我看了。” “不完全是，”朱迪说。她不愿意承认这一点。 艾米接着说。“他们说她读五年级的书，比如《哈利波特》第五册。 她不只是

carry it around to look cool." "No lie?" asked Judy. Amy nodded. "That's almost nine hundred pages!" wailed Judy. "No fair," said Stink. "Fourth grade is against the rules." "That's right," said Sophie. "Fourth-graders are supposed to be on teams with fifth-graders." "Not exactly," said Amy. "The rule is that you just have to be seven to nine years old to be on the younger team. She's nine." "Nine!" said Judy. "That's one whole birthday candle more than me." "And two whole grades more than us!" said Sophie. Amy looked at her notes. "She was homeschooled till this year." "Aagh!" said Frank. "That means she's way super smart. She probably read every book in the whole entire library twice." "Whoa," said Judy. "That's gifted." "That's not all," said Amy. "She moved here from Royal Oak, Virginia. In Royal Oak, Virginia, Mighty Fantaskey was on a Book Quiz team called the

随身携带，看起来很酷。” “没有说谎吗？”朱迪问。艾米点点头。 “差不多有900页了！”朱迪哭着说。 “不公平，”臭臭说。“四年级是违反规定的。” “没错。”索菲说。 “四年级学生应该和五年级学生组队。” “不完全是，”艾米说。“规则是，你只有7到9岁才能加入年轻的球队。 她九。”“九个！”朱迪说。 “这比我多了整整一支生日蜡烛。” “比我们整整高两个年级！”苏菲说。 艾米看了看她的笔记。“直到今年，她一直在家上学。” “啊！”弗兰克说。这意味着她非常聪明。 她可能把整个图书馆的每本书都读了两遍。” “哇，”朱迪说。“这是天才。” “这还没完，”艾米说。 “她从弗吉尼亚州的皇家橡树市搬来这里。 在弗吉尼亚州的皇家橡树镇，Mighty Fantaskey参加了一个名为the
