02 Mom- and Dad-i-tude

Mom-and Dad-i-tude She, Judy Moody, had to take a note home. A note from the teacher. A note that said she needed extra-special help. A note that said she was hazy-not-crazy about math. The top half of the note was just blah-blah, so Judy tore the note in half and gave the good half to her parents. Not the bad half. Mom and Dad looked at the note. "Judy's in trouble? Sweet!" said Stink. "Only half trouble," said Judy. "Judy, where's the rest of this note?" asked Dad. "I rounded it down," said Judy. "To one-half.

妈妈和爸爸的态度她，朱迪·穆迪，不得不带个纸条回家。 老师的便条。上面写着她需要额外的帮助。 字条上写着她对数学不感冒。 纸条的上半部分写得乱七八糟，所以朱迪把纸条撕成两半，把上半部分给了她的父母。 不是坏的那一半。爸爸妈妈看了看纸条。 “朱迪有麻烦了？”真可爱！”臭臭说。 “只有一半麻烦，”朱迪说。 “朱迪，这张纸条的其余部分在哪里？”爸爸问。 “我把它四舍五入了，”朱迪说。 “到一半。

Like the fraction. Get it? I'm really good at math. Fractions and rounding and everything." "Quick! What's twelve times eight?" asked Stink. "None of your beeswax," said Judy. "Try ninety-six," said Stink. "Judy, the note?" Mom said. "Dad and I need to see it. The whole thing." Judy reached into her pocket and pulled out the crumpled-up bottom half of the note. She handed it over.

比如分数。明白了吗? 我真的很擅长数学。分数，四舍五入等等。” “快!十二乘八等于几？”臭臭问。 “不关你的事，”朱迪说。 “试试九十六，”臭臭说。 “朱迪，那张纸条？”母亲说。 “爸爸和我得去看看。 整件事。”朱迪把手伸进口袋，掏出皱巴巴的下半页。 她递了过来。

Mom and Dad read it. They read it times two. It took them about one thousand years to read the fraction of a note. They talked to Judy. They talked to each other. They talked to people on the phone for a hundred years. They came up with a plan. Not a Listen-to-Your-New-Teacher plan. Not a Hand-Over-Your-Brand-New-Watch plan. Not a We'll-Help-You-with-Your-Homework plan. An Extra-Extra-Special-Help plan. EESH! A Judy-Moody-Goes-to-a-Tutor plan. "Tutor?" said Judy. "Can't you and Dad help me?" "We will," said Mom. "We will," said Dad.

妈妈和爸爸读了。他们读它乘以2。 他们花了大约一千年的时间才读懂一张纸条的一小部分。 他们和朱迪谈了谈。他们互相交谈。 他们通过电话与人交谈了一百年。 他们想出了一个计划。不是听你的新老师的计划。 而不是“交出你的新手表”计划。 而不是“我们帮你做作业”的计划。 Extra-Extra-Special-Help计划。 EESH !朱迪-穆迪去找家教计划。 “家庭教师？”朱迪说。“你和爸爸不能帮帮我吗？”“我们会的，”妈妈说。 “我们会的，”爸爸说。

"What's six times seven?" said Stink. "A tutor will be extra help," said Mom. "A tutor will be special help," said Dad. "Just like your teacher suggested." "For your information," said Judy, "Mrs. Grossman is NOT my teacher." "What's five times eleven?" asked Stink. "I'll listen, I promise," said Judy. "I won't wear my new watch to school anymore. I'll count to gross and great gross." "You're gross," said Stink. Judy had to prove she was good at math. She started rattling off times tables. "Four times two equals eight. Eight times two equals sixteen. Sixteen times two equals something I haven't learned yet. But I will. I swear."

“六乘七等于几？”臭臭说。 “家庭教师会是额外的帮助，”妈妈说。 “家庭教师会有特别的帮助，”爸爸说。 “就像你老师建议的那样。” “告诉你一下，”朱迪说。 格罗斯曼不是我的老师。” “五乘十一等于几？”臭臭问。 “我会听的，我保证，”朱迪说。 “我再也不戴我的新表去上学了。 我会数到很恶心，很恶心。” “你真恶心。”臭臭说。 朱迪必须证明她数学很好。 她开始背乘法表。 “四乘二等于八。 八乘二等于十六。 16乘以2等于一些我还没学会的东西。 但我会的。我发誓。”

"Having a tutor could be fun," said Dad. "You'll see." "Tutors have flash cards," said Stink. "Baby flash cards. What's two times five?" "The number of toenails I'm going to paint while you're asleep," said Judy. Stink curled his toes under. Judy looked from Mom to Dad, from Dad to Mom. "Do I have to?" "It's already settled," said Mom. "You start tomorrow."

“请家教会很有趣，”爸爸说。 “你会看到的。”“家庭教师有卡片，”臭臭说。 “婴儿卡片。2乘5等于多少？”“我要在你睡觉的时候画多少只脚趾甲，”朱迪说。 臭臭把脚趾卷到下面。 朱迪看看妈妈，看看爸爸，看看爸爸，又看看妈妈。 “我一定要去吗？”“已经决定了，”妈妈说。 “你明天开始上班。”
