06 Preposterous Hippopotamus

Preposterous Hippopotamus When Judy woke up the next morning, her neck was so stiff she felt like a crookneck squash. But her head did not feel the least bit bigger. It did not even feel heavy from carrying around so many new words. She looked in the mirror. Same Judy-head as always. At breakfast, Judy stared into her eggs, just like Jeane Dixon, Famous American Fortuneteller. She thought she felt an earthquake! The earthquake was Stink, shaking the ketchup bottle onto his eggs.

当朱迪第二天早上醒来时，她的脖子僵硬得像个歪颈南瓜。 但是她的头一点也不觉得变大了。 带着这么多生词，我一点也不觉得沉重。 她照镜子。还是那个茱蒂头。 早餐时，朱迪盯着她的鸡蛋，就像美国著名的算命师珍妮·迪克森一样。 她以为她感觉到地震了!地震是臭气熏天，把番茄酱瓶摇到他的鸡蛋上。

"Stink, that's preposterous!" said Judy. "What's that mean?" asked Stink. "It means ridiculous," said Judy. "Like funny or silly," said Mom. "Think hippopotamus," said Judy. RARE! The dictionary-under-the-pillow thing really worked! Big words were flying out of her mouth faster than spit. Judy was in a positively purple, On-Top-of- Spaghetti-and-the-World mood. She wished she could take her mood ring to school. If only. On the bus, Judy told Rocky that his new magic trick was bewildering.

“臭，这太荒谬了!”朱迪说。 “这是什么意思?”臭臭问。 “它的意思是荒谬，”朱迪说。 妈妈说:“有趣也好，愚蠢也罢。” “想想河马吧，”朱迪说。 罕见的!把字典放在枕头下真的很管用!大话从她嘴里蹦出来比吐唾沫还快。 朱迪正处于一种积极的紫色状态，一种站在意大利面和世界之巅的情绪。 她希望她能把心情戒指带到学校。 如果只。在公共汽车上，朱迪告诉洛奇，他的新魔术令人眼花缭乱。

At school, Frank gave Judy a miniature hotel soap from his collection. "I already have this one," he said. Judy told him his treat was very unexpected. Then she asked Jessica (Flunk) Finch if she looked forward to the spelling test with anticipation. "Why are you talking funny?" asked Jessica. Mr. Todd passed out lined paper for the test. He told the class, "Only three more school days until our special visitor comes to class." Something was not the same. Something was different. Something was peculiar, unusual. Mr. Todd had new glasses! And he was wearing a tie. A crayon tie! Mr. Todd had never dressed up for a spelling test before.

在学校里，弗兰克从他的收藏中拿出一块迷你肥皂送给朱迪。 “我已经有这个了，”他说。 朱迪告诉他，他的款待非常出乎意料。 然后她问杰西卡(不及格)芬奇是否对拼写测试充满期待。 “你为什么说话这么滑稽?”杰西卡问。 托德先生分发了考试用的横格纸。 他告诉同学们:“再过三天，我们的特殊访客就要来上课了。” 有些东西是不一样的。 有些不同。有些东西很奇怪，很不寻常。 托德先生戴了新眼镜!他打着领带。 一条蜡笔领带!托德先生以前从来没有为拼写考试精心打扮过。

"Your new glasses are very noticeable," said Judy. "Thank you, Judy," said Mr. Todd with a goofy grin. During the test, Judy Moody's Grouchy pencil flew across the page like never before. She spelled alfalfa and applesauce. She spelled cobweb and crystal. She hardly even had to erase, except on zucchini.

“你的新眼镜很显眼，”朱迪说。 “谢谢你，朱迪，”托德先生傻笑着说。 在考试中，朱迪·穆迪的“发牢骚”铅笔在纸上飞舞，这是前所未有的。 她拼的是苜蓿和苹果酱。 她拼出了蜘蛛网和水晶。 除了在西葫芦上，她几乎不用擦掉。

And she used the extra-credit word in a sentence! Crayon. What kind of a bonus word was crayon? Mr. Todd had crayons on the brain. For sure and absolute positive. Madame M predicts that the Crayon Lady will soon come to Class 3T to see Mr. Todd's crayon tie. Judy's extra-credit word sentence was practically a paragraph! And she used the bonus word twice! Double R-A-R-E! Judy was the first one to finish, even before the Queen Bee Speller Jessica Finch. Jessica wasn't even using her lucky pencil! What was that girl thinking? At the lunch table, she, Judy Moody, was in a predict-the-future mood. "Don't open your lunches yet," Judy said to

她还在一个句子里用了额外学分这个词!蜡笔。 蜡笔是什么奖励词? 托德先生的脑子上有蜡笔。 当然是绝对肯定的。 M夫人预言蜡笔女士很快就会来3T班看托德先生的蜡笔领带。 朱迪的额外加分词句实际上是一个段落!她用了两次奖励词!双R-A-R-E !朱迪是第一个完成的，甚至比拼写女王杰西卡·芬奇还早。 杰西卡甚至没有使用她的幸运铅笔!那个女孩在想什么? 在午餐桌上，她朱迪·穆迪(Judy Moody)沉浸在预测未来的情绪中。 “先别打开你们的午餐，”朱迪对他说

everybody. "Madame M will predict what's inside." "Hurry up," said Rocky. "I'm hungry." Judy shut her eyes. This was so easy. "I see baloney. Baloney sandwiches." Rocky, Frank, and Jessica each held up a baloney sandwich. Everyone was amazed. Now the moment she'd been waiting for. "I have another prediction," said Judy in a loud voice. "One about tomorrow. Something big. Something that's never happened in Class 3T before." "Really? Tell us! What?" "I, Judy Moody, will get zero-wrong-plusextra- credit on the spelling test! 110%! Pass it on."

每一个人。“M夫人会预测里面是什么。” “快点，”洛奇说。“我饿了。” 朱迪闭上了眼睛。这太简单了。 “我看到了一派胡言。胡扯三明治。” 洛奇、弗兰克和杰西卡每人拿着一个火腿三明治。 每个人都很惊讶。现在是她等待已久的时刻。 “我还有一个预言，”朱迪大声说。 “是关于明天的。大的东西。 这在3T班从来没有发生过。” “真的吗?告诉我们!什么?”“我，朱迪·穆迪，拼写考试零分+加分!”110% !把它传下去。”
