10 Batty for Bottles

Batty for Bottles "Let's go on a bottle hunt," said Rocky. "After school." "I sure hope bottles are easier to find than northeast beach tiger beetles," Judy said. They raided Rocky's garage first and found two milk crates full of bottles that had not been recycled. "Rare!" said Judy. "Twenty-seven bottles!" "But they're all smooshed. I forgot my mom stomps them." "That's okay," said Judy. "They're ABC bottles. Already Been Crushed!" At Judy's, her mother let her have the stash of

“我们去找瓶子吧，”洛奇说。 “放学后。”“我真希望瓶子比东北海滩的虎甲虫更容易找到，”朱迪说。 他们首先搜查了洛奇的车库，发现了两个牛奶箱，里面装满了没有被回收的瓶子。 “难得!”朱迪说。“27瓶!”“但是它们都被压扁了。 我忘了我妈是踩他们的。” “没关系，”朱迪说。“它们是ABC瓶。 已经被碾碎了!”在朱迪家，她妈妈让她藏了

milk jugs she was saving to make bird feeders. Dad didn't have any bottles, so he gave Rocky and Judy one dollar bill each to plant a tree. "Thanks, Mr. Moody!" said Rocky. Judy kissed George Washington right on his presidential nose. "Does this mean I can wear lipstick again?" asked Mom. "And I can drink coffee?" said Dad. "Yes. But not too much," laughed Judy. "No fair," said Stink. "I'd plant a tree, too, if I could have a dollar or something." "Or something," said Judy.

她留着牛奶罐做喂鸟器。 爸爸没有瓶子，所以他给了洛奇和朱迪每人一美元，让他们种一棵树。 “谢谢，穆迪先生!”洛奇说。 朱迪亲了乔治·华盛顿的鼻子。 “这是不是意味着我又可以涂口红了?”妈妈问。 “我可以喝咖啡吗?”爸爸说。 “是的。但不要太多，”朱迪笑着说。 “不公平，”臭臭说。“我也想种一棵树，如果我能有一美元或别的什么的话。” “或者别的什么，”朱迪说。

All the next week, Class 3T piled up a mountain of bottles in the multipurpose room. Bags of bottles, boxes of bottles, bins full of bottles. "Great teamwork, class," said Mr. Todd. "Did you know we throw away two and a half million plastic bottles every hour in this country? In three months, we throw away enough bottles to circle the globe." "Look out!" said Rocky. "Bottles are taking over the earth!" "People should recycle them," said Jessica Finch. "My dad has a jacket made out of

接下来的一整个星期，3T班在多功能教室里堆积了如山的瓶子。 一袋袋的瓶子，一箱箱的瓶子，一箱箱的瓶子。 “同学们，你们的团队合作真棒，”托德先生说。 “你知道我们每小时扔掉250万个塑料瓶吗?” 在三个月内，我们扔掉的瓶子足够绕地球一圈。” “小心!”洛奇说。“瓶子正在占领地球!”“人们应该回收它们，”杰西卡·芬奇说。 “我爸爸有一件用木头做的夹克

recycled plastic bottles. My socks are made out of bottles, too." "No way," said Judy. She turned around to take a look at the plastic-bottle socks. They looked regular. They did not look plastic at all. "It's true," said Mr. Todd. "All that plastic can be recycled to make toys and coat hangers and picture frames. Even recycling bins!" "How many bottles do you think we have so far?" asked Jessica. "Let's pile them up all together to see how high they go," said Brad. Class 3T spent their Math class piling up bottles and more bottles. "We should call it Bottle Mountain," said Rocky. "Double cool," said Frank. "It looks like a

回收的塑料瓶。我的袜子也是用瓶子做的。” “不可能，”朱迪说。她转过身去看了看塑料瓶袜子。 他们看起来很正常。它们看起来一点也不像塑料。 “这是真的，”托德说。 “所有的塑料都可以回收利用来制作玩具、衣架和相框。 甚至连回收箱也不例外!”“你觉得我们到目前为止有多少瓶了?”杰西卡问。 布拉德说:“我们把它们堆在一起，看看它们能飞多高。” 3T班在数学课上把瓶子堆得越来越多。 “我们应该叫它瓶子山，”洛奇说。 “酷毙了，”弗兰克说。 “它看起来像一个……

giant igloo." When they had added every last bottle, Mr. Todd said, "Tomorrow's the big day. Tomorrow we'll find out the grand total number of bottles we have. Our principal, Ms. Tuxedo, will make an announcement to tell the school how much money we've raised. Now let's hurry back to class so nobody misses the bus." "Tomorrow!" said Judy. "That's twenty-four more hours!" She couldn't wait to find out how many trees would be planted in the rain forest for the Virginia Dare School.

巨大的圆顶建筑。”当他们加完最后一瓶酒后，托德说:“明天是大日子。” 明天我们就知道我们有多少瓶酒了。 我们的校长，燕尾服女士，将会向全校宣布我们已经筹到了多少钱。 现在我们赶紧回教室吧，这样就不会有人错过公共汽车了。” “明天!”朱迪说。“那又是二十四小时!”她迫不及待地想知道，为了弗吉尼亚戴尔学校，雨林里将种多少棵树。
