10 Mumpty Dumpty

M.D. = Mumpty Dumpty The next morning, Judy Moody woke up sick. Not fake sick. Not just mad-at-her-friends sick. Real and true sick. Pain-in-the-brain sick. Hotin- the-head sick. Frog-in-the-throat sick. Judy ran to the mirror and stuck out her tongue. It was red all right. Not just Cherry- Ames-cough-drop red. Fire-engine red! And she saw a bumpy, mumps-of-a-lump in the back of her throat — one on each side. She, Judy Moody, had grapefruit tonsils. Bowling-ball tonsils!

第二天早上，朱迪·穆迪醒来时觉得不舒服。 不是装病。不只是生她朋友的气。 真的病了。Pain-in-the-brain生病。 Hotin- the-head - sick。Frog-in-the-throat生病。 朱迪跑到镜子前，伸出舌头。 它确实是红色的。不只是樱桃红。 消防车红色!她看到喉咙后面有一个凹凸不平的肿块——两边各有一个。 她，朱迪穆迪，有葡萄柚扁桃体。 保龄球扁桃体!

The lumps made her look like a hound dog. The lumps made her look like a clone of Peanutthe- dwarf-guinea-pig (with chipmunk cheeks). The lumps made her look like Mumpty Dumpty. Dad came into her room. He felt her forehead. He looked in her Lumpty-Dumpty throat. He took her temperature. "You're sick, all right," said Dad, peering at the thermometer. "Looks just like what Stink had. Must be tonsillitis."

这些肿块使她看起来像条猎犬。 这些肿块使她看起来像一只克隆的花生小豚鼠(长着花栗鼠的脸颊)。 这些肿块让她看起来像胖墩儿。 爸爸走进她的房间。他摸了摸她的额头。 他看了看她矮胖的喉咙。 他给她量了体温。“你病了，没错。”爸爸盯着体温计说。 “看起来就像臭臭一样。 一定是扁桃体炎。”

Stink came into her room before leaving for school to see if she was sick for real. "Stink!" Judy whisper-yelled. "Get out of my room!" The lumps made her sound funny. "Get off your broom?" "My room. Get out." "How come?" "You don't want to catch a bad case of lumps!" Mouse jumped up onto the bottom bunk. "How come Mouse gets to be in there and I don't?" "Cats don't have tonsils!" "Stink, don't get too close to Judy!" yelled Mom. Stink was not allowed in her room! RARE!

臭臭在去学校之前走进她的房间，想看看她是不是真的病了。 “臭!”朱迪whisper-yelled。 “滚出我的房间!”这些肿块使她的声音听起来很滑稽。 “从你的扫帚上下来?”“我的房间。 出去。”“怎么?”“你可不想得重头戏吧!”老鼠跳上了下铺。 “为什么老鼠能进去，而我不能?”“猫没有扁桃体!”“臭臭，别离朱迪太近!” 她的房间不允许有臭味!罕见的!

Staying home sick was not as fun as Judy thought it would be. When Mom brought ginger ale with a crazy straw, it went up Judy's nose. When Dad brought toast with mashed bananas, Judy took one look and said, "I think somebody already ate this." And, worst of all, TV shows in the middle of the day were full of kissing. Mom took Judy's temperature for real, with a brand-new, no-cat-hair thermometer. Human temperature: 101.9! "I called Dr. McCavity," said Mom. "This will make you feel better." She held out some medicine. Not double-yum baby aspirin that tastes like orange Lifesavers and you get to chew it. Not triple-yum cough syrup that tastes like grape Lifesavers and you get to drink it. A pill! Not just any old pill.

生病呆在家里并不像朱迪想象的那么有趣。 妈妈端来姜汁汽水时用了一根奇怪的吸管，结果进了朱迪的鼻子。 当爸爸端来吐司和香蕉泥时，朱迪看了一眼说:“我想有人已经吃过了。” 最糟糕的是，中午的电视节目里到处都是接吻。 妈妈真的给朱迪量了体温，用的是全新的，没有猫毛的温度计。 人体温度:101.9度!我打电话给奥巴马医生。 “麦卡维蒂，”妈妈说。“这会让你感觉好点。” 她拿出一些药。 不是那种吃起来像橘子味的婴儿阿司匹林，你还可以嚼。 不是三美味止咳糖浆，尝起来像葡萄救生员，你可以喝它。 一颗药丸!不是随便什么药。

A big pill. A monster pill. A pill the size of Nebraska. Mom wanted her to swallow it. Not chew it. Not drink it. Swallow it. Mom wanted her to swallow Nebraska! Judy held her throat. "I can't swallow," she said in a sickly way. "You were swallowing ginger ale just fine," said Mom. "Ginger ale is not Nebraska!" Judy mumbled in her bowling-ball-tonsils voice. Her words

一颗大药丸。一个怪物药丸。 一个内布拉斯加州那么大的药丸。 妈妈想让她吞下去。 不是咀嚼。不要喝。 往下咽。妈妈想让她吞下内布拉斯加州!朱迪扼住自己的喉咙。 “我咽不下去了，”她虚弱地说。 “你喝姜汁汽水还行，”妈妈说。 “姜汁汽水不是内布拉斯加!”朱迪用她那像保龄球似的声音咕哝着。 她的话

came out all mumbly-dumbly. "Alaska?" said Mom. "Ne-bras-ka!" said Judy. "Just try," said Mom. "It will make you feel lots better." Judy shut her eyes. She pinched her nose, put the pill in her mouth, and gulped down a glass of water. "That's better," said Mom. Judy stuck out her tongue. The pill was still there! "Judy, how are you going to be a doctor if you can't take your own medicine?" "When I'm a doctor, I'll invent a pillswallowing machine," said Judy. "Okay. Never mind. I'll crush it up and you can drink it." "Wank hoo," said Judy.

都是咕咕哝哝地出来的。 “阿拉斯加?”妈妈说。“内布拉斯卡!”朱迪说。 “试试吧，”妈妈说。“这会让你感觉好多了。” 朱迪闭上了眼睛。她捏了捏鼻子，把药片放进嘴里，一口气喝了一杯水。 “这样好多了，”妈妈说。 朱迪伸出舌头。 药片还在那儿!“朱迪，如果你不能自己吃药，你怎么能成为一名医生呢?”“等我当了医生，我要发明一种吞药机，”朱迪说。 “好吧。不要紧。我把它压碎，你就可以喝了。” “呸!”朱迪说。
