4 Mr. Sunny Is Weird

Chapter 4 Mr. Sunny Is Weird Mr. Sunny had a baseball cap on his head and earphones in his ears. He was working very hard on his sand castle, using a plastic shovel to carve the walls. Finally, he noticed me and Andrea watching him. "Hi, A.J.!" he said. "Who's your girlfriend?" "She's not my girlfriend," I said. "I'm not his girlfriend," Andrea said. "Well, who's your friend that's a girl?" asked Mr. Sunny. "She's not my friend, either," I told him. "Friends are people you like. This is Andrea." "Charmed," Andrea said, all giggly. She did one of those courtesy things girls do. "I love your sand castle!"

萨尼先生头上戴着一顶棒球帽，耳朵里戴着耳机。 他在沙堡上非常努力地工作，用一把塑料铲在墙上雕刻。 最后，他注意到我和安德里亚在看着他。 “嗨，A.J.!”“你女朋友是谁？”“她不是我的女朋友，”我说。 “我不是他的女朋友，”安德里亚说。 “那么，你的女孩朋友是谁？”Sunny先生问。 “她也不是我的朋友，”我告诉他。 “朋友就是你喜欢的人。 我是安德烈。”“被迷住了。”安德烈咯咯地笑着说。 她做了女生该做的一件事。 “我喜欢你的沙堡！”

What a brownnoser! As soon as Andrea started talking to Mr. Sunny, she acted like I wasn't even there. "I'm gonna win the contest," Mr. Sunny said. "First prize is a trip to France. I'm gonna go to college there and study sand sculpture from the great sand masters." "That sounds awesome," Andrea gushed. "Are you in high school?" "Yeah, I'm sixteen." "Is Sunny your real name?" asked Andrea. "Nah," Mr. Sunny said. "My name is Evan. Everybody calls me Mr. Sunny because I love the sun so much." "'What's in a name?'" said Andrea. "'That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' Shakespeare wrote that, you know." Ugh.

真是个马屁精！安德莉亚一跟桑尼先生说话，就好像我不存在一样。 “我要赢得这场比赛，”桑尼说。 “一等奖是去法国旅游。 我要去那里上大学，跟着伟大的沙雕大师学习沙雕。” “听起来棒极了，”安德里亚滔滔不绝地说。 “你在上高中吗？”“是的，我十六岁了。” “Sunny是你的真名吗？”Andrea问。 “不，”桑尼说。“我叫埃文。 大家都叫我阳光先生，因为我太爱阳光了。” “‘名字有什么关系？’”安德烈说。 “我们把玫瑰叫做别的名字，它还是一样香。”你知道，这是莎士比亚写的。” 啊。

Mr. Sunny took off his baseball cap and showed it to us. It had solar panels built right into it! Then he turned around and showed us that his tank top had solar panels built into it too. "The solar panels power my iPod," Mr. Sunny told us. "Why do we have to burn gas or coal when all the power we need is right there in the sky? Global warming is a bummer, man." "I hate global warming," Little Miss Brownnoser said. If Mr. Sunny said he hated butterflies, Andrea would probably say she hates them too. "Excuse me," Mr. Sunny said. "I can't talk right now. I have to work on my sand castle before the beach fills with kids." "'Men of few words are the best men,'" Andrea said. "Shakespeare wrote that too." Mr. Sunny took off his shirt and went

桑尼先生脱下他的棒球帽给我们看。 它有太阳能电池板建在里面！然后他转过身来，向我们展示了他的背心也内置了太阳能电池板。 “太阳能电池板为我的iPod供电，”桑尼先生告诉我们。 “当我们需要的所有电力都在天空中时，我们为什么要燃烧天然气或煤炭？” 全球变暖是一件令人沮丧的事，伙计。” “我讨厌全球变暖，”小布朗诺瑟小姐说。 如果桑尼先生说他讨厌蝴蝶，安德里亚可能会说她也讨厌蝴蝶。 “对不起，”桑尼先生说。 “我现在不方便说话。我得在沙滩上挤满孩子之前把我的沙堡弄好。” “‘沉默寡言的人是最好的人，’”安德烈说。 “这也是莎士比亚写的。” 桑尼先生脱下衬衫走了

back to carving the castle. When he turned around, I could see the word "SUNNY" written across his back in white letters. "Is that a tattoo?" I asked. "No," Mr. Sunny said. "I cut the letters SU-N-N-Y out of paper and taped them to my back. It's a SUNNY sunburn!" Andrea was all giggly and told him his sunburn was cool. "I bet you have lots of girlfriends," Andrea said. "Oh, I don't have time for that," Mr. Sunny replied. "Sand is my life." Mr. Sunny is funny! But if you ask me, people who wear solar panels and tape letters to their backs are weird. Soon the beach was filled with people, blankets, and umbrellas. I went for a swim. When I came back, Andrea and a bunch of other kids were gathered around Mr. Sunny.

继续雕刻城堡。 当他转过身来的时候，我看到他的背上写着两个白色的字母“SUNNY”。 “那是纹身吗？”我问。 “不，”桑尼说。“我从纸上剪下字母SU-N-N-Y，把它们粘在背上。 这是阳光晒伤！”安德里亚咯咯地笑着告诉他，他的晒伤很酷。 “我打赌你有很多女朋友，”安德里亚说。 “哦，我没有时间，”桑尼先生回答说。 “沙子是我的生命。”阳光先生很有趣！但如果你问我，我觉得那些戴着太阳能电池板，背上贴着字母的人很奇怪。 很快，海滩上就挤满了人、毯子和雨伞。 我去游泳了。当我回来的时候，安德里亚和其他一群孩子聚集在桑尼先生身边。

"Part of being a lifeguard is to teach you kids about first aid," he said. "Does anybody know what to do if a person is drowning and can't breathe?" Little Miss I-Know-Everything waved her hand in the air, just like she was at school. But Mr. Sunny called on me. So nah-nahnah boo-boo on Andrea. "It depends on who's drowning," I said. "If the quarterback of your Pee Wee football team is drowning, then you have to get a new quarterback right away. Because if you don't have a quarterback, you'll have to forfeit the game." Everybody laughed even though I didn't say anything funny. Andrea rolled her eyes. "How about you, Andrea?" asked Mr. Sunny. "If somebody is drowning," she said, "you give them mouth-to-mouth

“当救生员的一部分工作就是教你孩子们急救知识，”他说。 “有人知道如果有人溺水而无法呼吸该怎么办吗？”“万事通”小姐在空中挥舞着她的手，就像她在学校里一样。 但是桑尼先生来找我了。 所以安德里亚的糗事。 “那要看是谁淹死了。”我说。 “如果你的Pee Wee足球队的四分卫快要淹死了，那么你必须马上换一个新的四分卫。 因为如果你没有四分卫，你就必须放弃比赛。” 大家都笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。 安德烈翻了个白眼。“你呢，安德里亚？”桑尼先生问。 “如果有人溺水了，”她说，“你就给他们进行人工呼吸

resuscitation." "That's right!" Mr. Sunny said. Andrea stuck her tongue out at me. I stuck mine out right back at her. "Arlo, don't you remember when Officer Spence gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Mrs. Daisy at our graduation?" Andrea asked. "It was just last week!" How am I supposed to remember what happened last week? "Do you need a volunteer to practice mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on?" asked one of the girls. They all got giggly and waved their hands in the air. "Me! Me! Me!" shouted Andrea. "Please please please please pick me!" "Okay," Mr. Sunny said. "Andrea, you're my volunteer." "Yay!" Andrea squealed, jumping up and down. I tell you, that "please" thing works

复苏。”“没错!”桑尼说。 安德里亚朝我吐了吐舌头。 我也向她伸出了我的手。 “阿乐，你不记得斯宾塞警官在我们毕业典礼上给黛西太太做人工呼吸了吗？”安德里亚问道。 “就在上周！”我要怎么记得上周发生的事？ “你需要一个志愿者来练习口对口人工呼吸吗？”其中一个女孩问。 他们都咯咯地笑起来，在空中挥舞着他们的手。 “我!我!我！”安德烈喊道。 “求求你，求求你，求求你，求求你，选我吧！”“好吧，”桑尼说。 “安德莉亚，你是我的志愿者。” “耶!”安德烈尖叫着，跳上跳下。 我告诉你，“请”这招管用
