3 Cheerleaders Who Throw Up

Chapter 3 Cheerleaders Who Throw Up When my mom dropped me off for our next practice, she didn't even try to hug me. Some of the ragamuffins from the first practice didn't come back. I guess they couldn't take it. Coach Hyatt wasn't there yet. But you'll never believe in a million hundred years who pulled up in a blue minivan. A bunch of girls! It was that annoying Andrea Young, her crybaby friend Emily, and some other girly girls. They piled out of the minivan and came over to us. "Hi, Arlo!" said Andrea, who calls me by my real name because she knows I don't

当我妈妈送我去下一次训练的时候，她甚至没有试着拥抱我。 第一次训练时吃的一些破饼干没有回来。 我猜他们接受不了。 凯悦教练还没到。 但你绝对不会相信谁开着一辆蓝色小货车来了。 一群女孩！就是那个烦人的安德里亚·杨，她爱哭的朋友艾米丽，还有其他一些娘娘腔的女孩。 他们从小货车里挤了出来，向我们走来。 “嗨，阿乐！”安德里亚说，她叫我的真名，因为她知道我不叫真名

like it. Andrea was wearing earrings that were little footballs and a necklace shaped like a goalpost. "What are YOU doing here?" I asked. "We're cheerleaders!" said Emily. I knew Andrea took ballet classes after school. She takes Irish step dancing, too. And modern dance. And clog dancing. That girl sure likes to dance. But I didn't know she did cheerleading, too. "Since when do you do cheerleading?" I asked Andrea. "I've been cheering since I was four years old," Andrea said. "Don't you get tired?" I asked. "Very funny, Arlo." "How can you cheer for football?" Michael asked Andrea. "You probably don't even know what a touchdown is."

喜欢它。安德里亚戴着小足球形状的耳环，戴着门柱形状的项链。 “你在这儿干什么？”我问。 “我们是啦啦队员！”艾米丽说。 我知道安德里亚放学后上芭蕾课。 她也跳爱尔兰踢踏舞。 还有现代舞。还有木屐舞。 那个女孩确实喜欢跳舞。 但我不知道她也当啦啦队。 “你什么时候开始当啦啦队了？”我问安德烈。 “我从四岁起就开始欢呼了，”安德里亚说。 “你不累吗？”我问。 “真有趣，阿乐。”“你怎么能为足球加油？”迈克尔问安德烈。 “你可能都不知道什么是触地得分。”

"Yeah!" agreed Ryan. "A touchdown is a scoring play in which any part of the ball, while legally in the possession of a player who is inbounds, crosses the plane of the opponent's goal line," Andrea said. "I read a book about football, so now I know all about it." I hate her. Why can't a goalpost fall on Andrea's head? "Do you want to hear one of our cheers?" asked Emily. "We wrote them ourselves." "Oh yes," I said, "I'd love to… in the next century." So of course Andrea and Emily did their cheer anyway. They danced around while chanting:

“是啊！”瑞恩同意道。安德里亚说：“触地得分是一种得分战术，即球的任何部分，虽然在法律上属于界内球员，但却越过了对手的球门线。” “我读了一本关于足球的书，所以现在我对它了如指掌了。” 我恨她。为什么球门柱不能砸在安德里亚的头上？ “你想听听我们的欢呼吗？”爱米丽问。 “我们自己写的。” “哦，是的，”我说，“我很想……在下个世纪。” 当然，安德里亚和艾米丽还是欢呼了。 他们边唱边跳舞：

"Jump in the air! Fall in the dirt. Just make sure no one gets hurt! Go… Moose!" "That cheer is lame," I told them. "You're mean, Arlo!" Andrea said. Their cheer was lame. Football cheers should be cool. I made up a cheer on the spot that was way better than their dumb

“跳起来！”倒在泥土里。 只要确保没人受伤就行！去…麋鹿!”“那种欢呼太没劲了，”我告诉他们。 “你太刻薄了，阿乐！”安德里亚说。 他们的欢呼是蹩脚的。足球欢呼应该很酷。 我在现场编了一个比他们傻逼好多了的欢呼

cheer. "Bust 'em! Beat 'em! Make 'em bleed! Hit 'em till their eyeballs fall out." "That doesn't even rhyme," Emily said. "And it's so violent!" said Andrea. "We only do positive cheers that don't hurt anyone's feelings." "Yes," said Emily. "It's not whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game. Isn't the important thing to have fun?" "No!" I said. "Where'd you get that crazy idea?" The girls did one of their routines where they throw each other up in the air while they do a cheer. "Laugh and play and shout and sing! Winning isn't everything!

欢呼。“破产它们!打败他们!让他们流血！打到他们眼珠子掉出来为止。” “这根本不押韵，”艾米丽说。 “而且很暴力！”安德烈说。 “我们只做不伤害任何人感情的积极欢呼。” “是的，”爱米丽说。“这不是你输赢的问题；这就是比赛的方式。 重要的不是玩得开心吗？”“不!”我说。 “你从哪里得到这个疯狂的想法？”女孩们做了一个常规动作，她们一边欢呼一边把对方抛向空中。 “笑、玩、喊、唱！胜利不是一切！

Go… Moose!" What a lame cheer. But I had to admit that Andrea and her friends were pretty good at throwing each other up. In the air, that is. If you threw up a person, it would be disgusting. I remembered that in fizz ed, Andrea is always the one who can balance feathers, juggle scarves, and do stuff better than anybody else. She's a good soccer player, too. But she's still annoying. "Do you want to see us make a human pyramid?" asked Emily. "Why don't you go to Egypt and make a real pyramid," I suggested. "And don't come back." "Humphf!" said Andrea. She and the other cheerleaders stormed away to practice at the other end of the field. When girls get mad, they always say "Humphf." Nobody knows why.

去…麋鹿!”多么蹩脚的欢呼。 但我不得不承认，安德里亚和她的朋友们很擅长互相吐槽。 就是在空中。如果你把一个人吐出来，那就太恶心了。 我记得在fizz， Andrea总是比别人更能平衡羽毛，耍杂耍围巾，做其他事情。 她也是一名优秀的足球运动员。 但她还是很烦人。“你想看我们做一个人体金字塔吗？”爱米丽问。 “你为什么不去埃及做一个真正的金字塔呢？”我建议道。 “别再回来了。”“汉弗！”安德烈说。 她和其他啦啦队队员怒气冲冲地跑到场地的另一端去训练。 当女孩生气的时候，她们总是说“汉弗” 没人知道为什么。
