06 Pond Scum

Pond Scum Judy worked on her report all weekend. In Science on Monday, the class presented its endangered species. Frank told the class how a monkeyface mussel got its name. Jessica Finch showed a shiny pigtoe shell that looked like a striped Hershey's Kiss. Judy bragged about the importance of the northeast beach tiger beetle.

朱蒂整个周末都在写报告。 在周一的《科学》课上，这个班展示了濒危物种。 弗兰克告诉同学们猴脸贻贝是如何得名的。 杰西卡·芬奇展示了一个闪亮的猪脚趾壳，看起来像条纹的好时巧克力。 朱迪吹嘘东北海滩虎甲虫的重要性。

"Tiger beetles recycle dead trees and eat tons of harmful insects, so don't step on them. They are really fast and tricky, like tigers. Their rain forest cousin, the Hercules beetle, is six inches long! Tiger beetles make a loud buzzing sound, like this. Bzzzzzzzz! The end." When they were all finished, Mr. Todd said, "Good job! Thank you all for raising our awareness of these special creatures. Remember, if you find one of these animals in the wild, put it back. It's important not to remove creatures from their natural habitats." Suddenly, Judy had an idea. An Einstein idea! It was time to call a secret club meeting. She passed a note to Frank: Emergency meeting of the Toad Pee Club today! Pass this to Rocky — J.M.

“虎甲虫会回收枯树，并吃掉大量有害昆虫，所以不要踩到它们。 它们跑得很快，也很狡猾，像老虎一样。 它们的雨林表亲，大力神甲虫，有6英寸长!虎甲虫发出一种响亮的嗡嗡声，就像这样。 Bzzzzzzzz !最后。”当它们全部完成后，托德先生说:“干得好!感谢大家提高了我们对这些特殊生物的认识。 记住，如果你在野外找到这种动物，把它放回去。 重要的是不要把生物从它们的自然栖息地移走。” 突然，朱迪有了一个主意。 爱因斯坦的主意!是时候召开一个秘密的俱乐部会议了。 她给弗兰克递了张纸条:“今天是蛤蟆尿俱乐部的紧急会议!”把这个传给洛奇- j。m

Jessica leaned forward, trying to see Judy's note. "I'll bet you can't spell the word endangered," hissed Jessica. "Yes I can," said Judy. "G-O-N-E, gone." Judy had ants in her pants all through Spelling. Bzzzzzzzz! At last the bell rang, like a sweet chorus of buzzing tiger beetles, and she, Judy Moody, was G-O-N-E, gone. After school, Frank, Rocky, and Judy crawled inside the blue tent in Judy's backyard. While they waited for Stink, Judy whispered the plan

杰西卡倾身向前，想看看朱迪的纸条。 “我敢打赌你不会拼濒危这个词，”杰西卡嘶嘶地说。 “是的，我能，”朱迪说。“G-O-N-E,不见了。” 朱迪在拼字的过程中一直紧张不安。 Bzzzzzzzz !终于下课铃响了，就像虎甲虫嗡嗡作响的甜蜜合唱，她，朱迪·穆迪，G-O-N-E，走了。 放学后，弗兰克、洛奇和朱迪爬进朱迪家后院的蓝色帐篷里。 他们在等臭臭的时候，朱迪低声说出了计划

to Frank and Rocky. "I'll get rid of Stink," said Rocky. "And I'll keep an eye on Toady," said Frank. Finally, Stink crawled inside the tent, carrying Toady, their mascot, in a yogurt container. "Where are we gonna put Toady?" asked Stink. "Over here in the corner by me," said Frank. "I'll guard him." "And don't pick him up with your bare hands, Stink, or he'll get you. If you know what

给弗兰克和洛奇。“我要除掉臭臭。”洛奇说。 “我来照看一下癞蛤蟆，”弗兰克说。 最后，臭臭爬进了帐篷，把他们的吉祥物癞蛤蟆放在一个酸奶容器里。 “我们把癞蛤蟆放在哪里?”臭臭问。 “就在我旁边的角落里，”弗兰克说。 “我来保护他。”“不要赤手空拳去抓他，臭臭，不然他会抓住你的。 如果你知道

I mean," Judy warned him. "Hey, did you know if you change two letters around in T-o-a-d-y you get t-o-d-a-y?" asked Stink. "That's nice, Stink," said Judy. "Did you know if you add three letters to Stink you get Stinkbug?" Stink ignored her. "It's squishy in here," he complained. "Try making yourself a little smaller, Stink. People take up way too much room on the planet. That's why we have so many problems." "Oh brother," said Stink. "Why are we here anyway?" "No reason," said Rocky. He kicked Frank's shoe and Frank nudged Judy and all three cracked up.

我是说，”朱迪警告他。“嘿，你知道如果你把T-o-a-d-y的两个字母调换一下就会变成t-o-d-a-y吗?”臭臭问。 “太好了，臭臭，”朱迪说。 “你知道在‘臭’字后面加三个字母就是‘臭虫’吗?”臭臭不理她。 “这里太软了，”他抱怨道。 “臭臭，试着把自己变小一点。 人类占据了地球上太多的空间。 这就是为什么我们有这么多问题。” “哦，兄弟，”臭臭说。“我们到底为什么在这里?”“没什么，”洛奇说。 他踢了弗兰克的鞋，弗兰克推了朱迪一下，三个人都笑了。
