9 The Greatest Moment of My Life

Chapter 9 The Greatest Moment of My Life On Thursday morning we were doing math in our class when Mrs. Patty's voice came over the loudspeaker. "Mr. Granite, please send A.J. to Mrs. Jafee's office." Bummer in the summer! "Ooooh!" Ryan said. "You're in trouble, A.J." "Maybe you'll get kicked out of school for all the mean things you've said to me, Arlo," said Andrea. "Your face should get kicked out of school," I told her. I walked down the hall real slowly, just in case I was in trouble. If you ever get

第九章我生命中最伟大的时刻星期四早上，我们正在班上做数学，扩音器里传来帕蒂夫人的声音。 格拉尼特先生，请派A.J.来 去杰菲太太的办公室。”夏天的流浪者！“唔!”瑞恩说。 “你有麻烦了，A.J.。”“也许你会因为你对我说的那些刻薄的话而被学校开除，阿乐。”安德烈说。 “你的脸应该被踢出学校，”我告诉她。 我慢慢地走过大厅，以防万一遇到麻烦。 如果你得到

called down to the principal's office, walk as slowly as you possibly can. That's the first rule of being a kid. "Am I in trouble?" I asked when Mrs. Jafee opened her door. "Heavens no!" Mrs. Jafee said. "Come on in." And you'll never believe in a million hundred years what she had on her desk. I'm not gonna tell you. Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Mrs. Jafee's desk was filled with cake, cookies, candy, and a tub of ice cream! "You gave me an idea yesterday, A.J." Mrs. Jafee told me. "You said guys and gals would learn better if they ate ice cream, cookies, cake, and candy. So, doggone it, I decided to do an experiment to see if that was true."

被叫到校长办公室，尽可能慢地走。 这是当孩子的第一准则。 “我有麻烦了吗？”杰菲太太开门时，我问道。 “天不!”杰菲太太说。 “进来吧。”你永远也不会相信她桌上有什么。 我不会告诉你的。好吧，好吧，我告诉你。 杰菲太太的桌子上堆满了蛋糕、饼干、糖果和一桶冰淇淋！“你昨天给了我一个主意，aj。” 杰菲太太告诉我的。“你说如果男孩和女孩吃冰淇淋、饼干、蛋糕和糖果，他们会学得更好。 所以，见鬼，我决定做一个实验，看看这是不是真的。”

"You mean I get to eat all this?" I asked. "You betcha! Have a seat." This was even better than the time Mr. Klutz gave me a candy bar! This was the greatest moment of my life. I sat down, and Mrs. Jafee handed me a book called Civil War Stories for Kids. She told me to read the first chapter. "Can I have a cookie while I read?" I asked.

“你是说我可以把这些都吃了？”我问。 “那还用说!请坐。” 这比克鲁茨先生给我糖果棒那次还好！这是我一生中最伟大的时刻。 我坐下来，杰菲太太递给我一本叫《儿童内战故事》的书。 她让我读第一章。 “我读书的时候能吃块饼干吗？”我问。

"You betcha!" Mrs. Jafee said. "That's the whole idea of the experiment. Eat as many cookies as you want." I took a cookie from the plate and ate it while I read the first page of the book. I hate reading, but it wasn't so bad because I had a cookie. "Can I have some candy?" I asked when the cookie was done. "Okeydokey!" Mrs. Jafee said. "Eat up!" I gobbled down some M&M's, jelly beans, and a KitKat bar while I read from the book. I couldn't wait to tell everybody in class that Mrs. Jafee gave me junk food. They would be so jealous! "Have a hunk of cake," Mrs. Jafee said. "Don't mind if I do!" I said. I kept reading chapter one in the book while I ate. It was about a drummer boy who had to fight in the war.

“那还用说!”杰菲太太说。 “这就是这个实验的全部思想。 你想吃多少饼干就吃多少。” 我从盘子里拿了一块饼干，一边吃，一边读着书的第一页。 我讨厌读书，但也没那么糟糕，因为我有一块饼干。 “我能吃点糖果吗？”我问饼干什么时候做好了。 “Okeydokey !”杰菲太太说。 “吃了!”我一边读着书，一边狼吞虎咽地吃着M&M巧克力豆、果冻豆和一块奇巧巧克力棒。 我迫不及待地想告诉班上的每个人，杰菲太太给了我垃圾食品。 他们会嫉妒的！“吃一大块蛋糕，”杰菲太太说。 “别介意我这么做！”我说。 我一边吃饭一边读着书中的第一章。 它是关于一个鼓手男孩不得不在战争中战斗。

"How about some ice cream?" Mrs. Jafee asked. "It's Moose Tracks." "My favorite flavor," I said. Mrs. Jafee put a big scoop of ice cream in a bowl and gave it me. It was great, but I was starting to get full. "More candy," Mrs. Jafee said. "No, thank you," I told her. "I'm going to take a little break." "I wasn't askin' you if you wanted more candy, A.J.," she said. "I was tellin' you that I'm givin' you more." "Oh," I said. "Okay. Can I bring some of it home with me to eat later?" "Nope, sorry," Mrs. Jafee said. "The experiment must be completed on school grounds." I took a Twix bar and ate it. My stomach was starting to feel a little funny.

“来点冰淇淋怎么样？”杰菲太太问。 “是《驼鹿足迹》。”“我最喜欢的口味，”我说。 杰菲太太把一大勺冰淇淋放在碗里递给我。 很好，但我开始觉得饱了。 “再来点糖果，”杰菲太太说。 “不，谢谢，”我告诉她。 “我要休息一下。” “我不是问你要不要再吃点糖，aj，”她说。 “我告诉过你，我会给你更多。” “哦，”我说。“好吧。我可以带一些回家吃吗？”“不，对不起，”杰菲太太说。 “实验必须在校园内完成。” 我拿了块巧克力棒吃了。 我的胃开始觉得有点不舒服。

"More cake," said Mrs. Jafee.

“再来点蛋糕，”杰菲太太说。
