07 The UN-Freedom Trail

The UN-Freedom Trail She, Judy Moody, was the luckiest kid in Class 3T. Mr. Todd let her take the Girl Paul Revere book home. Judy read it to Rocky on the bus. She read it to Mouse the cat. She read it to Jaws the Venus flytrap. Sybil Ludington lived in New York, and her dad needed someone to ride a horse through the dark, scary forest to warn everybody that the British were burning down a nearby town. Sybil was brave and told her dad she could do it. She stayed up late past midnight and rode off into the dark all by herself. Sybil Ludington sure was grown-up and responsible. She showed tons of independence.

她，朱迪·穆迪，是3T班最幸运的孩子。 托德先生让她把《保罗·里维尔的女孩》这本书带回家。 朱迪在公共汽车上读给洛奇听。 她读给老鼠听。 她读给捕蝇草《大白鲨》听。 西比尔·卢丁顿住在纽约，她的父亲需要有人骑马穿过黑暗、可怕的森林，提醒大家英国人正在烧毁附近的一个城镇。 西比尔很勇敢，她告诉爸爸她能做到。 她熬到半夜才睡，然后独自一人骑马消失在黑暗中。 西比尔·卢丁顿确实是个成熟而负责任的人。 她表现得非常独立。

Judy would be just like Sybil Ludington. Responsible. Independent. All she had to do was prove it to Mom and Dad. There was only one problem. She, Judy Moodington, did not have a horse. And she would never in a million years be allowed to stay up past midnight. Crumb cakes! She'd just have to be responsible right here in her very own house, 117 Croaker Road. Starting N-O-W. Judy went from room to room all over the

朱迪就会像西比尔·卢丁顿一样。 负责。独立的。她所要做的就是证明给爸爸妈妈看。 只有一个问题。 她，朱迪·穆丁顿，没有马。 再过一百万年，她也不能再熬夜了。 面包屑饼!她只需要对自己的房子负责就在这里，克罗克路117号。 “现在开始。朱迪从一个房间走到另一个房间

upstairs. She picked stuff up, put stuff away, hid stuff in the closet. Downstairs, she picked up one cat-hair fur ball, two giant lint balls, her basketball, Stink's soccer ball, and Mouse's jingle ball. Being responsible sure made a person hungry. Judy stopped to eat some peanut butter with a spoon (not her finger!) out of the jar. She stopped to feed Mouse (not peanut butter) and empty out the litter box (P.U!). She stopped to do some homework (without one single peanut- butter fingerprint!). Mom and Dad were always bugging her to be nice to Stink, so she went up to his room to be nice. She looked on his desk. She looked under his bed. "What are you looking for?" asked Stink.

楼上。她把东西捡起来，放好，藏在壁橱里。 在楼下，她拿了一个猫毛皮球，两个巨大的绒线球，她的篮球，臭臭的足球和老鼠的铃铛球。 负责任肯定会让人感到饥饿。 朱迪停下来用罐子里的勺子（不是她的手指！）吃花生酱。 她停下来喂老鼠（不是花生酱），倒空猫砂盒（P.U!） 她停下来做作业（没有一个花生酱指纹！） 爸爸妈妈总是劝她对臭臭好一点，所以她就去臭臭的房间对他好一点。 她看了看他的桌子。她看了看他的床底下。 “你在找什么？”臭臭问。

"I'm looking for something nice to say," said Judy. "I like that ant farm poster on your wall." "You gave it to me," said Stink. "Well, um... your hair looks good." "Did you put something in my hair?" Stink shook his head. "Eeww, get it out!" "Stink! Nothing's in your hair. Not even a spider." Stink plucked at his hair like a dog with fleas. "I said not even! I was just trying to be nice." Judy never knew independent people had to be so nice. And so clean. But wouldn't Mom and Dad be surprised when they saw all the stuff she could do on her own? Without anybody telling her she had to. She, Judy Moody, would be Independent-with-a-capital-I. Just like Sybil

“我想说点好听的话，”朱迪说。 “我喜欢你墙上的蚂蚁农场海报。” “你给我的，”臭臭说。 “嗯,嗯…你的头发看起来不错。” “你把什么东西弄到我头发上了吗？”臭臭摇了摇头。 “呃，把它弄出来！”“臭!你头发里什么都没有。 连一只蜘蛛也没有。”臭气扑扑在他的头发上，就像一只长了跳蚤的狗。 “我说了不！”我只是想表现得好一点。” 朱迪从来不知道独立的人也得这么好。 而且很干净。但是，当爸爸妈妈看到她一个人就能做这么多事情时，他们不会感到惊讶吗？ 没人告诉她她必须这么做。 她，朱迪·穆迪，将会是一个独立的人。 就像西比尔一样

Ludington. For sure and absolute positive. Judy traced her feet onto red construction paper. Snip, snip, snip! She made a trail of red footprints all through the house. Not a messy, drop-your-stuff-everywhere trail. An independent, show-how-responsible-you-are trail. She even made signs for each stop along the way, just like the real Freedom Trail. Now all she had to do was find Mom and Dad and Stink. "The trail starts here," said Judy. She pointed to the sign in front of a wilted, half-dead plant: YE OLDE LIBERTY TREE. "First I'll make a speech at Ye Olde Liberty Tree. Hear ye! Hear ye!" called Judy, jingling

Ludington。当然是绝对肯定的。 朱迪在红色的建筑纸上描画她的脚。 剪，剪，剪！她在屋子里留下了一串红色的脚印。 而不是一个凌乱的，到处都是你的东西的踪迹。 一个独立的，显示你是如何负责任的线索。 她甚至在沿途的每一站都做了标志，就像真正的自由之路一样。 现在她要做的就是找到爸爸妈妈和臭臭。 “小路从这里开始，”朱迪说。 她指着一棵枯萎的、半死的植物前的牌子：“老自由树”。 “首先，我要在自由老树发表演讲。 你们当听!听着！”朱迪叫道

Mouse again. "Give me liberty or give me more allowance!" Mom and Dad laughed. Stink snorted. "Listen, ye olde trail people. I'm Judy. I'll be your tour guide. Follow the red footprints to freedom!" Judy led her family from room to room. On the dining room table, it said, JUDY MOODY DID HOMEWORK HERE. "I do my homework there every day," said Stink. Judy gave him ye olde hairy eyeball. On the kitchen floor, Judy pointed to a sign that said, JUDY MOODY FED MOUSE HERE. "Isn't that one of your chores already?" asked Dad. "Yes," said Judy. "But nobody had to remind me to do it." She pointed to the kitchen table: JUDY MOODY

鼠标了。“要么给我自由，要么给我更多的零花钱！”爸爸妈妈都笑了。 臭哼了一声。“听着，你们这些老家伙。 我是朱迪。我将是你的导游。 跟着红色脚印走向自由！”朱迪领着她的家人从一个房间走到另一个房间。 餐厅的桌子上写着：朱迪·穆迪在这里做作业。 “我每天都在那里做作业，”臭臭说。 朱迪给了他一个毛茸茸的眼球。 在厨房地板上，朱迪指着一块牌子，上面写着：朱迪·穆迪在这里喂老鼠。 “这不已经是你的一项家务了吗？”爸爸问。 “是的，”朱迪说。“但没人需要提醒我去做。” 她指着厨房的桌子：朱迪·穆迪
