9 The Greatest Day of My Life

Chapter 9 The Greatest Day of My Life "I love it!" Mr. Tony said when we told him about our idea. "Why didn't I think of making the biggest pizza in the world? That will be a lot easier than pogo-juggling and egg-jogging!" Everybody was excited about getting into The Guinness Book of World Records. But Little Miss Perfect had on her worried face. "What's the matter, Andrea?" asked Mr. Tony. "How will we put the pizza in an oven?" she asked. "To make the biggest pizza in the world, don't we need the biggest oven in the world?" "Andrea's right!" said Emily, who always thinks Andrea is right. "No problem," said Mr. Tony. "I'll take

第9章我生命中最伟大的一天“我爱它！”托尼先生说，当我们告诉他我们的想法。 “为什么我没想到做世界上最大的披萨？” 这比蹦极和鸡蛋慢跑容易多了！”每个人都为进入吉尼斯世界纪录而兴奋不已。 但是完美小姐的脸上却挂着焦虑的表情。 “怎么了，安德里亚？”托尼先生问。 “我们怎么把披萨放进烤箱呢？”她问。 “要做出世界上最大的披萨，我们不是需要世界上最大的烤箱吗？”“安德里亚是对的！”艾米丽说，她一直认为安德里亚是对的。 “没问题，”托尼先生说。 “我要

care of that. We'll heat up the tomato sauce and cheese first and then spread them on the pizza crust. We'll have to make the pizza out in the playground, because it will be too big to fit in here." "But there's another problem," Andrea said. "What will we do with the pizza after we make it? We can't eat a pizza that big. And it would be terrible to throw it away, especially after our food drive. What a waste of food." "I know! We can give the pizza to a food bank so they can feed hungry people!" I suggested. "A.J., you're a genius!" Michael said. No wonder I'm in the gifted and talented program. Everything was falling into place. Mom said that The Six Moms would be happy to supply the ingredients for our giant pizza.

照顾好这个。我们先把番茄酱和奶酪加热，然后把它们涂在披萨皮上。 我们得在操场上做披萨，因为它太大了，放不下这里。” “但还有另一个问题，”安德里亚说。 “做完披萨后我们要怎么处理它？” 我们不能吃那么大的披萨。 把它扔掉太糟糕了，尤其是在我们的食物募捐活动之后。 真是浪费食物。”“我知道!我们可以把披萨捐给食物银行，这样他们就可以养活饥饿的人了！”我建议。 “aj，你真是个天才！”迈克尔说。 难怪我在天才项目里。 一切都井然有序。 妈妈说六位妈妈会很乐意为我们的大披萨提供原料。

Ms. LaGrange, our lunch lady, said she would help us heat up the sauce in the kitchen and put the pizza together. Mr. Tony called The Guinness Book of World Records people, and they said they would send someone over to see our pizza in person and prove it was the biggest one in the world. "Let's not tell anyone else about our giant pizza," Mr. Tony told us. "Not even Mr. Klutz. If the word gets out that we're making the biggest pizza in the world, somebody might try to steal our idea and make a bigger pizza than ours." My lips were sealed. But not with glue or anything. That would be weird. Finally, the day came to put together our giant pizza. During recess, three huge trucks drove up onto the playground. One had a ton of cheese in it. One had a ton of tomato

我们的午餐小姐拉格朗日说，她会帮我们在厨房里加热酱汁，然后把披萨放在一起。 托尼先生打电话给吉尼斯世界纪录的人，他们说他们会派人来亲自看看我们的披萨，并证明它是世界上最大的披萨。 “我们不要告诉别人我们的大披萨，”托尼先生告诉我们。 “就连克鲁茨先生也没有。如果我们正在做世界上最大的披萨的消息传出去，有人可能会试图窃取我们的想法，做一个比我们更大的披萨。” 我守口如瓶。但不是用胶水之类的东西。 那会很奇怪。终于到了组装我们的巨型披萨的日子。 课间休息时，三辆大卡车开到了操场上。 其中一个里面有一吨奶酪。 其中一个有一吨西红柿

sauce in it. And one had a huge pizza crust. Guys wearing overalls got out of the trucks and started unloading all the stuff. "How did The Six Moms get a truck full of tomato sauce?" I asked my mom. "We went to Rent-A-Truck-Full-of-Tomato-Sauce," she said. "You can rent anything." Everybody pitched in to help. Ms. Hannah, our art teacher, put gigantic pieces of cardboard down on the playground. We all unrolled the giant pizza crust onto the cardboard. It was the size of a swimming pool! Then Mr. Tony came out of the school. He was carrying this thing that looked like a big Super Soaker. There was a tank strapped to his back, like the kind scuba divers wear. "What's that thing?" Ryan asked. "It's a flamethrower," said Mr. Tony.

里面有酱汁。其中一个披萨饼皮很大。 穿着工装裤的人从卡车里出来，开始卸货。 “六位妈妈是怎么弄到一卡车番茄酱的？”我问妈妈。 “我们去了一辆满载番茄酱的出租卡车，”她说。 “你可以租任何东西。”每个人都来帮忙。 我们的美术老师汉娜女士把一块块巨大的硬纸板放在操场上。 我们都把巨大的披萨饼皮铺在硬纸板上。 它有游泳池那么大！然后托尼先生从学校出来了。 他手里拿着个东西，看起来像个超级浸泡器。 他的背上绑着一个氧气罐，就像潜水员戴的那种。 “那是什么东西？”瑞恩问道。 “这是一个火焰喷射器，”托尼先生说。

"What does it do?" asked Michael. "It throws flame," said Mr. Tony. "So it has the perfect name," I said. Mr. Tony pulled the trigger on the flamethrower, and a giant explosion of fire came flying out! We all jumped back. I could feel the heat on my face. Mr. Tony walked around the pizza crust, shooting fire all over it. "That thing is cool!" we all said. "Where did you get a flamethrower?" Neil the nude kid asked Mr. Tony. "From Rent-A-Flamethrower," he replied. "You can rent anything." After a few minutes of flamethrowing, the giant pizza crust had turned from white to brown.

“它有什么用？”迈克尔问。 “它会喷出火焰，”托尼先生说。 “所以它有一个完美的名字，”我说。 托尼先生扣动了喷火器的扳机，一股巨大的火焰飞了出来！我们都跳了回去。 我能感觉到脸上的热。 托尼先生绕着披萨饼皮走了一圈，在上面喷火。 “那东西真酷！”我们都说。 “你从哪儿弄来的喷火器？”裸体小孩尼尔问托尼先生。 他回答说：“我是租来的喷火器。” “你可以租任何东西。”几分钟后，巨大的披萨外壳由白色变成了棕色。

"Okay," Mr. Tony said as he turned off the flamethrower. "It's cooked. Pour on the sauce!" The truck full of tomato sauce backed up to the pizza and dumped its load onto the crust. The Six Moms used rakes and shovels to spread the sauce evenly. "Bring on the cheese!" shouted Mr. Tony.

“好吧，”托尼说着关掉了喷火器。 “这是煮熟的。把酱汁倒上去！”满载番茄酱的卡车倒向披萨，把所有的番茄酱都倒在了披萨的外壳上。 六位妈妈用耙子和铲子把酱汁均匀地撒上。 “拿起奶酪来！”托尼先生喊道。
