3 Mr. Tony Is Weird

Chapter 3 Mr. Tony Is Weird Brrrriiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg!!! The three-o'clock bell rang. We watched out the window while most of the other kids got on the buses or were picked up by their parents. We were all really sad. Emily was wiping her eyes like she was about to start crying. What a crybaby!

第三章托尼先生很奇怪！三点钟的铃响了。 我们看着窗外，大多数孩子都上了公交车，或者被父母接走了。 我们都很难过。艾米丽在擦眼睛，好像马上就要哭了。 真是个爱哭鬼！

"Look at all those kids," Neil the nude kid said, "going home to their TV sets." "To their video games," said Michael. "To their pets," said Andrea. "To their snacks," said Ryan. "And we have to stay here just because our moms want to make some dumb sandwiches," I said. "It's not fair." We had to walk a million hundred miles all the way to the other side of the school, where the ASKK room is. ASKK stands for "After-School Kids' Kare," which makes no sense at all because "care" is spelled with a C, not a K. How are we supposed to learn how to spell if they can't even spell "ASKK" right? The grown-up in charge of ASKK is Mr. Tony, but he wasn't there yet. The door was locked. Some other kids were waiting in the hall. I guess their moms had to make

“看看那些孩子，”裸体小孩尼尔说，“回家看电视。” “去玩他们的电子游戏。”迈克尔说。 “给他们的宠物。”安德烈说。 “给他们的零食，”瑞恩说。 “我们必须呆在这里，就因为我们的妈妈想做一些愚蠢的三明治，”我说。 “这不公平。”我们不得不走上百万英里的路，一直走到学校的另一边，ASKK教室所在的地方。 ASKK代表“After-School Kids' Kare”，这完全没有意义，因为“care”的拼写是C，而不是K。 他们连“ASKK”都不会拼我们怎么学拼写？ 负责ASKK的大人是托尼先生，但他还没有到那里。 门上了锁。其他一些孩子在大厅里等着。 我猜是他们的妈妈做的

sandwiches, too. "I have an idea," I told the guys. "Let's make a run for it!" "They probably have guards with machine guns who will shoot us if we try to escape," said Ryan. "Maybe we can dig a tunnel and escape to freedom," said Michael. "I saw that in a war movie once. The prisoners dug a hole in the ground and hid the dirt down their pants so the guards wouldn't notice." "I'm not putting dirt down my pants," I said. "We don't have a shovel anyway," said Neil. "We can't dig a tunnel." "Boys!" Andrea said, rolling her eyes. That's when the strangest thing in the history of the world happened. A guy came over. Well, that's not the strange part because

三明治。“我有个主意，”我告诉他们。 “我们快跑吧！”“他们可能有带机关枪的警卫，如果我们试图逃跑，他们就会向我们开枪，”瑞恩说。 “也许我们可以挖一条隧道，逃到自由的地方，”迈克尔说。 “我曾经在一部战争电影里看到过。 囚犯们在地上挖了一个洞，把泥土藏在裤子里，这样警卫就不会注意到。” “我不会把脏东西放进裤子里的，”我说。 “反正我们也没有铲子，”尼尔说。 “我们不能挖隧道。”“男孩!”安德烈说，翻白眼。 就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 一个男人过来了。这还不是奇怪的地方，因为

guys come over all the time. The strange part was that the guy came over on a pogo stick, and he was juggling three balls. "Mr. Tony, reporting for duty!" he said. We all giggled because Mr. Tony said "duty," which sounds just like "doody." It's okay to say "D-U-T-Y," but grown-ups get really mad when you say "D-O-O-D-Y." Nobody knows why. Mr. Tony jumped off the pogo stick. He's a big guy with a mustache. He saluted us like he was in the army. I saw he had a big white Band-Aid on his arm. "Ten-hut!" he said. Army guys always say "Ten-hut" when they want you to stand up straight. Nobody knows why.

男人总是来我家。 奇怪的是，那个人骑着弹簧高跷走过来，同时在玩三个球。 “托尼先生，来报到了！”他说。 我们都咯咯地笑，因为托尼先生说了“责任”，听起来就像“便便”。 说“D-U-T-Y ”是可以的，但是当你说“D-O-O-D-Y ”时，大人会很生气的。 没人知道为什么。托尼先生从弹簧高跷上跳了下来。 他是个留着小胡子的大个子。 他像在军队里一样向我们敬礼。 我看到他手臂上有一个大大的白色创可贴。 “十屋！”他说。军队里的人要你站直的时候总说“十屋” 没人知道为什么。

"At ease," Mr. Tony said. He handed out name tags to each of us and opened the door to the ASKK room. "I won't tolerate any foolishness in here. I run a tight ship." I looked around the ASKK room. There

“放轻松，”托尼说。他给我们每个人发了名牌，打开了通往ASKK会议室的门。 “我不能容忍这里有任何愚蠢的行为。 我的管理很严格。”我环顾了一下ASKK房间。 有

wasn't any ship in there. I don't understand why people are always talking about ships. What's up with that? "Are we going boating?" I asked. "Of course not!" Mr. Tony yelled. "What would make you think we'd go boating in the after-school program?" "How should I know?" I asked. "You're the one who brought it up." Mr. Tony is weird.

那里根本没有船。我不明白为什么人们总是谈论船。 这是怎么回事？“我们要去划船吗？”我问。 “当然不会！”托尼先生喊道。 “你凭什么认为我们会在课外活动中划船？”“我怎么知道？”我问。 “是你提出来的。” 托尼先生很奇怪。
