01 The Mood Ring

The Mood Ring Judy Moody ate one, two, three bowls of cereal. No prize. She poured four, five, six bowls of cereal. Nothing. Seven. Out fell the Mystery Prize. She ripped open the paper wrapper. A ring! A silver ring with an oogley center. A mood ring! And a little piece of cardboard. WHAT MOOD ARE YOU IN? it asked.

朱迪·穆迪吃了一碗、两碗、三碗麦片。 没有奖。她倒了四碗，五碗，六碗麦片。 什么都没有。七。神秘奖落选了。 她撕开包装纸。 一枚戒指!一个银戒指，中间有一个猫头鹰图案。 心情戒指!还有一小块硬纸板。 你心情怎么样?它问。

Judy slid the ring onto her finger. She pressed her thumb to the oogley center. She squeezed her eyes tight. One one-thousand, two onethousand, three one-thousand. She hoped the ring was purple. Purple was the best. Purple was Joyful, On Top of the World. At last, she dared to look. Oh no! She couldn't believe her eyes. The ring was black. She knew

朱迪把戒指戴到手指上。 她把拇指按在奥格理的中心。 她紧紧地挤着眼睛。 一千块，两千块，三千块。 她希望戒指是紫色的。 紫色是最好的。紫色很快乐，站在世界之巅。 最后，她终于敢看了。 噢,不!她简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。 戒指是黑色的。她知道

what black meant, even without the directions. Black said Grouchy, Impossible. Black was for a bad, mad mood! Maybe I counted wrong, thought Judy. She closed her eyes and pressed the ring again. She thought only good thoughts this time. Happy thoughts. She thought about the time she and Rocky and Frank put a fake hand in the toilet to play a trick on Stink. She thought about the time she got a picture of her elbow in the newspaper. She thought about the time Class 3T collected enough bottles to plant trees in the rain forest. She thought of purple things. Socks and rocks

黑色是什么意思，即使没有说明。 布莱克说:“不可能。” 黑色代表坏的、疯狂的心情!也许我数错了，朱迪想。 她闭上眼睛，再次按下戒指。 这次她只想到了好的方面。 快乐的思想。她想起有一次，她和洛奇、弗兰克把一只假手放进马桶里，想捉弄臭臭。 她想起了有一次她在报纸上看到了自己肘部的照片。 她想起3T班那次收集了足够的瓶子在雨林里种树。 她想到了紫色的东西。 袜子和石头

and Popsicles. Judy Moody opened her eyes. She flunked! The ring was still black. Could the mood ring be wrong? Judy did not think rings could lie. Especially rings with directions. Judy froze her thumb on an ice cube and pressed the ring's center. Black. She ran her thumb under hot water and pressed it again. Black, black, blacker than black. Not one teeny bit purple. I guess I'm in a bad mood and don't even know it, thought Judy. What could I be mad about? Judy Moody went looking for a bad mood. She found her dad outside, planting fall flower bulbs.

和冰棒。朱迪·穆迪睁开了眼睛。 她不及格!戒指仍然是黑色的。 情绪戒指会不会是错的? 朱迪认为戒指不会说谎。 尤其是有指示的戒指。 朱迪把拇指冻在一块冰块上，按了按戒指的中心。 黑色的。她把拇指放到热水里，又按了一下。 黑色，黑色，比黑色还要黑。 一点紫色都没有。我想我可能是心情不好而自己却不知道，朱迪想。 我有什么好生气的? 朱迪·穆迪去找坏心情。 她发现父亲正在外面种秋天的球茎。
