05 Brat-i-tude

Brat-i-tude At morning recess, Judy faked a call on her candy cell phone. During Science, Judy drew a cartoon of Mrs. Grossman out of polygons. At lunchtime, Judy said, "Let's food!" and waited in the lunch line with her peeps. When it was her turn, she stepped up to the window and said to the lunch lady, "I'll have a small-tall upside-down backward nonfat capp, extra whip. And make it wet." "Aren't all drinks wet?" asked Frank. "We don't have coffee," said the lunch lady. "Hot chocolate?" Judy asked. But all they had was chocolate milk. Bor-ing. "At college, you can

早上课间休息时，朱迪假装用她的糖果手机接了一个电话。 在科学课上，朱迪用多边形画了一幅格罗斯曼夫人的漫画。 午餐时，朱迪说：“我们吃东西吧！”然后和她的小伙伴们一起排队等着吃午饭。 轮到她的时候，她走到窗口，对卖午餐的大妈说：“我要一份小杯倒着吃的脱脂盒饭，另加奶油。” 把它弄湿。”“不是所有的饮料都是湿的吗？”弗兰克问。 “我们没有咖啡，”卖午餐的女士说。 “热巧克力?”朱迪问。 但他们只有巧克力牛奶。 Bor-ing。“在大学里，你可以

get hot chocolate with a heart design in the foam on top. And you can get sprinkles." "Oh, really?" said the lunch lady.

在上面的泡沫上有心形图案的热巧克力。 你还可以吃到糖屑。” “哦，真的吗？”

"How many kinds of cereal do you have here?" Judy asked. "None. We don't have any cereal. It's lunch." "At college, you can have breakfast all day. Even if it's midnight." Rocky, Frank, and Jessica pushed past Judy. "Do you have a salad bar?" Judy asked. "Salad bar is for teachers only." "At college, anybody can eat at the salad bar. Even kids. What kind of cafeteria is this? They should call it cafeterrible." "Hey, College," yelled a fifth-grader at the back of the line. "Move it along. Some of us want to eat lunch today." Judy took her not-wet, no-whip, heart-less chocolate milk and went to sit with her peeps. "Shh, here she comes."

“你们这儿有多少种麦片？”朱迪问。 “没有。我们没有麦片了。 它的午餐。”“在大学里，你可以吃一整天的早餐。 即使是午夜。”洛奇、弗兰克和杰西卡挤过朱迪。 “你们有沙拉吧吗？”朱迪问。 “沙拉吧只对老师开放。” “在大学里，任何人都可以在沙拉吧吃饭。 甚至孩子。这是什么样的自助餐厅？ 他们应该叫它cafeterrible。” “嘿，大学生，”排在队伍后面的一个五年级学生喊道。 “往前走。我们有些人今天想吃午饭。” 朱迪拿起她的不湿、不打、不含心的巧克力牛奶，和她的小伙伴们坐在一起。 “嘘，她来了。”

"What's she going to brag about now?" "Yeah, she thinks she's so college." Soon she, Judy Moody, was eating alone at the lunch table. Fact of Life: Rocky minus Frank minus Jessica Finch minus Amy Namey equaled a big fat zero. Not a peep. Judy stared at her lunch tray. Her peanut butter and jelly sandwich looked so... kindergarten. At recess, nobody wanted to play Judy's game— finding polygons hidden on the playground. Judy found a triangle in a tree branch, an

“她现在又要吹嘘什么呢？”“是啊，她觉得自己很有大学范儿。” 很快，她，朱迪·穆迪，就在午餐桌上独自吃饭了。 生活真相：洛奇减去弗兰克减去杰西卡·芬奇减去艾米·奈米等于一个大大的零。 一点也没有。朱迪盯着她的午餐托盘。 她的花生酱和果冻三明治看起来很… 幼儿园。课间休息时，没有人想玩朱迪的游戏——寻找隐藏在操场上的多边形。 朱迪在树枝上发现了一个三角形

octagon where the fence was ripped, and six rectangles on the ladder going up to the slide. All by herself. For the first time ever, Judy could not wait for math class. She, Judy Moody, owned the times tables. Look out. Here comes the Multiplication Maniac. The Polygon Princess. The Graph Guru. The Fraction Freak. Just wait till they see me score candy for all the right answers. At last it was time. Mrs. Grossman started writing on the board. Judy sat up straight. She pricked up her best-ever listening ears, the ones she usually saved for Mr. Todd. She squinted at the board. Words? Why was Mrs. Grossman writing so many words? What did words have to do with math? Hello? Where were all the numbers?

栅栏被撕裂的地方是八边形，通往滑梯的梯子上有六个长方形。 全靠她自己。有史以来第一次，朱迪迫不及待地想上数学课。 她，朱迪·穆迪，拥有乘法表。 小心。乘法狂人来了。 多边形公主。图表大师。 分数狂。等他们看到我答对所有题就得糖果吧。 最后是时候了。格罗斯曼太太开始在黑板上写字。 朱迪坐直了身子。她拾起她最好的一双耳朵，那是她通常留给托德先生的。 她眯着眼睛看黑板。 单词吗?格罗斯曼夫人为什么要写这么多字？ 单词和数学有什么关系？ 喂?所有的数字都在哪里？

And the fractions and the plus signs and the equal signs? Judy raised her hand. "Excuse me," she said. "I thought this was math class. What's with all the sentences?" "We're starting something new today," said Mrs. Grossman. "Multistep word problems. You have to read the problem first, then do the math one step at a time. That's why we call them word problems," said Mrs. Grossman. Judy had a word problem, all right. A problem with words that were pretending to be math. Mrs. Grossman pointed to the board. "Jill had twenty-four valentines. She gave one-half of her valentines to her friends at school—" Judy raised her hand again. "Who's Jill?"

分数，加号，等号呢？ 朱迪举起了手。“对不起，”她说。 “我以为这是数学课。 这些句子是怎么回事？”格罗斯曼太太说：“我们今天要开始新东西了。” “多步文字问题。你必须先读一遍题目，然后一步一步地做数学题。 这就是为什么我们称它们为文字问题，”格罗斯曼女士说。 朱迪有文字问题，好吧。 一个假装是数学的单词问题。 格罗斯曼太太指着黑板。 “吉尔有二十四个情人节礼物。 她把一半的情人节礼物送给了学校里的朋友——”朱迪又举起了手。 “吉儿是谁?”
