09 Sybil La-Dee-Da

Sybil La-Dee-Da When Judy got out of bed on Monday morning, she did not stamp one foot. She did not throw one sugar packet. Instead, she quietly-and-toherself declared independence from brushing her teeth and taking a shower. She did not want to mess up the bathroom again. EVER. Her makeup book report from when she was in Boston was due today. A makeup book report was NOT going to put her in a bad mood. Even if she had waited till the last minute. Judy decided right then and there to make this her best-ever book report. That's what a responsible person would do. She dressed up in her pilgrim costume—

星期一早上朱迪起床时，她没有跺脚。 她没有扔一个糖包。 相反，她安静地宣布自己不再刷牙和洗澡了。 她不想再把浴室弄脏了。 永远。她在波士顿时的化妆报告今天要交。 一份化妆读书报告不会让她心情不好。 即使她等到最后一刻。 朱迪当时就决定把这篇读书报告写成她有史以来最好的。 这是一个负责任的人会做的。 她穿上朝圣者的服装

the one Grandma Lou had made for Halloween. Ye olde pilgrimme costoom had an apron and made Judy look just like a girl from the American Revolution. Judy wore regular-not-loony pants underneath the skirt for bloomers. And she made thirteen curls in her hair— one for each of the thirteen colonies. "Who are you? Heidi?" Stink asked at breakfast. "None of your beeswax," said Judy. "Are you a nurse?" "N-O!" said Judy. "Hey, I know. You're Priscilla Somebody! Like a pilgrim?" "No, I'm Revolutionary. The Girl Paul Revere. For my book report today." "Oh. So you're that Sybil La-Dee-Da?" It sure was hard to declare independence

就是卢奶奶为万圣节做的那个。 她的旧清教徒服装有一个围裙，使朱迪看起来就像一个来自美国革命的女孩。 朱迪在灯笼裤里穿了一条普通的裤子。 她在头发上做了13个卷发——一个代表13个殖民地。 “你是谁？”海蒂?”早餐时臭臭问道。 “不关你的事，”朱迪说。 “你是护士吗？”“不！”朱迪说。 “嘿，我知道了。你是普丽西拉某人！像个朝圣者？”“不，我是革命者。 《女孩》保罗·里维尔。今天的读书报告。” “哦。你就是那个西比尔·拉蒂达？”宣布独立确实很困难

from bad moods when Stink was around. "Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad," Judy called on her way out the door. "Hey, wait for me!" Stink yelled. "Sorry! I'm riding my faster-than-lightning bike to the bus stop!" Judy yelled back. And she was off. Right before the end of the school day, it was time for Judy's book report. She asked Frank Pearl to help her. They stood up in front of the class. "Mr. Todd? I have a different kind of book report. It's acted out. Like a play." "Cool!" said Rocky. "The book I read is called Sybil: The Female Paul Revere," Judy told her class. "It's about the Girl Paul Revere. And this," she said, pointing to

因为臭臭在身边时心情不好。 “再见,妈妈。再见，爸爸。”朱迪在出门的路上喊道。 “嘿，等等我！”臭喊道。 “对不起!我骑着我那比闪电还快的自行车去公共汽车站！”朱迪喊道。 然后她就出发了。就在放学之前，是朱迪做读书报告的时候了。 她请求弗兰克·珀尔帮助她。 他们站在全班同学面前。 “托德先生吗?我有一种不同的读书报告。 它被演出来了。就像一出戏。” “酷！”洛奇说。“我读的那本书叫《西比尔：女保罗·里维尔》，”朱迪对全班同学说。 “是关于女孩保罗·里维尔的。 还有这个，”她指着说

Frank, "is the Boy Paul Revere. Frank— I mean Paul— is helping me, Sybil Ludington." Judy started with a poem: "'Listen, my children, and you shall hear/ Of a girl who rode way farther than Paul Revere.'"

弗兰克，”是男孩保罗里维尔。 弗兰克——我是说保罗——正在帮助我，西比尔·鲁丁顿。” 朱迪以一首诗开场：“听着，我的孩子们，你们将听到/一个比保罗·里维尔骑得更远的女孩。”

SYBIL: Hey, Paul Revere? Why are you so famous? PAUL: Because, Sybil Ludington, I rode my horse all night. I warned everybody the British were coming. SYBIL: I did, too. My horse is named Star. It was dark. I was scared. It rained all night. I was brave. It was muddy. PAUL: It wasn't muddy when I rode. SYBIL: Well, la-dee-da. "No fair! It doesn't say that here!" said Frank. "I just added it," said Judy. "Keep reading." PAUL: I'm forty years old and I rode sixteen miles.

西比尔：嘿，保罗·里维尔？你为什么这么出名？ 保罗：因为，西比尔·卢丁顿，我整晚都在骑马。 我警告过大家英国人要来了。 西比尔：我也是。我的马叫星。 天很黑。我很害怕。 雨下了一整夜。我很勇敢。 它是泥泞的。保罗：我骑的时候没有泥泞。 西比尔：嗯，呵呵。“不公平!这里可没这么说！”弗兰克说。 “我刚加进去的，”朱迪说。 “继续阅读。”保罗：我四十岁了，我骑了十六英里。

SYBIL: I'm only sixteen and I rode almost forty miles. PAUL: I made it to Lexington to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock. SYBIL: Hey, Paul? Weren't you caught by the British? PAUL: At first I wasn't. Then I was. SYBIL: Didn't Mr. Todd say they took your horse? PAUL: Yes. SYBIL: Aha! So you got caught and didn't finish warning everybody. I, Sybil Ludington, DIDN'T get caught, and I warned everybody. I yelled, 'Stop the British. Mustard at Ludington's!' All the British had to go back on their ships. Then everybody came to

西比尔：我才16岁，骑了将近40英里。 保罗：我到列克星敦去警告山姆·亚当斯和约翰·汉考克。 西比尔：嘿，保罗？你不是被英国人抓住了吗？ 保罗：一开始我没有。然后我是。 西比尔：托德先生不是说他们抢走了你的马吗？ 保罗:是的。女巫:啊哈!所以你被抓了，还没警告完大家。 我，西比尔·卢丁顿，没有被抓住，我警告了所有人。 我喊道，‘阻止英国人。 卢丁顿的芥末！”所有的英国人不得不坐船回去。 然后大家都来了
