5 The Boys Against the Girls

Chapter 5 The Boys Against the Girls By the time I got back to Mr. Granite's class, everybody was at lunch. So I went straight to the vomitorium to join the guys. Andrea, Emily, and two of their girl friends were sitting at the next table. Michael had a bag of Crispy Cheezeballs. Neil the nude kid had a bag of Cheezy Crispballs. Ryan was eating carrot sticks. Ugh! Ryan will eat anything. "You were in Mr. Klutz's office for a long time, A.J.," Michael said. "Did you get in trouble?" "Yeah, what did he do to you?" asked Neil. "Are you gonna get kicked out of

当我回到格拉尼特先生的教室时，每个人都在吃午饭。 所以我直接去了体育馆加入了他们。 安德里亚、艾米丽和她们的两个女朋友坐在邻桌。 迈克尔有一袋脆皮芝士球。 裸体小孩尼尔拿了一袋薯片。 瑞恩在吃胡萝卜条。 啊!瑞安什么都吃。 “你在克鲁茨先生的办公室待了很长时间，aj，”迈克尔说。 “你惹上麻烦了吗？”“是的，他对你做了什么？”尼尔问。 "你会被开除吗

school?" asked Ryan. "Nah," I told them, "but Dr. Brad is doing some tests on me. They might send me to Dirk School." "Dork School?!" the guys yelled. "Isn't that the school for genius kids?" asked Ryan. That's when Little Miss Perfect jumped up from her seat. "What?!" Andrea shouted. "You're switching to Dirk?! My mom has been trying to get me into Dirk ever since I was in kindergarten! They keep turning me down. If anybody should be sent to Dirk School, it's me! Not you!" "That's right," said Emily, who always agrees with everything Andrea says. "I wish you would go to Dork School," I told Andrea. "So we wouldn't have you around here anymore."

学校？”瑞恩问。“没有，”我告诉他们。 布拉德在给我做检查。 他们可能会送我去德克学校。” “呆瓜学校？！” “那不是专为天才孩子开设的学校吗？”瑞恩问。 就在这时，完美小姐从座位上跳了起来。 “什么? !”安德里亚喊道。“你要换成德克？！”从我上幼儿园开始，我妈就一直想让我进德克！他们一直拒绝我。 如果有人应该被送到德克学校，那也是我！不是你!”“没错，”艾米丽说，她总是同意安德里亚说的每句话。 “我希望你能去达克学校，”我对安德里亚说。 “这样我们就不会再让你待在这里了。”

"Oh, snap!" said Ryan. "You know, girls are smarter than boys," Andrea said. "Some scientists did an experiment and proved it." "Some scientists should do an experiment on your face," I told Andrea. "Oh, snap!" said Ryan. "You're mean, A.J.!" Emily said. "She started it," I said. "Boys eat mud!" said Andrea's other little flunky, who was named Annette.

“哦，糟了！”瑞恩说。“你知道，女孩比男孩聪明，”安德里亚说。 “一些科学家做了一个实验，证明了这一点。” “有些科学家应该在你的脸上做个实验，”我告诉安德里亚。 “哦，糟了！”瑞恩说。“你真卑鄙，A.J.!”艾米丽说。 “是她挑起的，”我说。“男孩吃泥巴！”安德里亚的另一个叫安妮特的小跟班说。

"Girls have six toes on each foot!" said Neil the nude kid. I knew that wasn't true, but it sounded good. "Boys are smelly!" said Julie, who was also sitting at Andrea's table. "Boys go to college to get more knowledge!" said Michael. "Girls go to Jupiter to get more stupider!" Everybody was yelling at one another. Kids at the other tables were looking at us. I was trying to think of something really

“女孩每只脚上都有六个脚趾！”裸体小孩尼尔说。 我知道那不是真的，但听起来不错。 “男孩子身上有臭味！”朱莉说，她也坐在安德烈那张桌子旁。 “男孩上大学是为了获得更多的知识！”迈克尔说。 “女孩子去木星是为了变得更蠢！”每个人都在互相吼叫。 其他桌的孩子都在看着我们。 我真的在想一些事情

mean to say about girls, but I couldn't come up with anything good. It didn't matter though, because at that moment, Dr. Brad came rushing over to our table. "SHTOP!" he hollered. Everybody shtopped, I mean, stopped. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Not a bowling pin, though. They make a lot of noise when they drop. I mean one of those little pins, like the ones my mom uses to sew stuff. "No more of zees fighting!" Dr. Brad yelled. "No more shouting! You must learn to get along!"

我想说些关于女孩子的话，但是我说不出什么好话来。 不过这并不重要，因为就在那一刻。 布拉德向我们的桌子冲了过来。 “停！”他喊道。每个人都停了下来，我是说，停了下来。 那里很安静，连一根针掉在地上的声音都能听见。 但不是保龄球瓶。 它们掉下来的时候会发出很大的噪音。 我是说那种小别针，就像我妈妈用来缝东西的那种。 “别再打了！”博士。 布拉德喊道。“别喊了！”你必须学会与人相处！”

Dr. Brad went on and on, telling us that boys and girls need to be polite and respectful of one another so we can live in peace and harmony and all that other stuff counselors always say. Everybody was quiet while he talked. We all looked at the floor. Any time a grown-up yells, you're supposed to look at the floor. Nobody knows why. "I'm sorry, Dr. Brad," said Andrea, who never misses the chance to brownnose a

布拉德博士继续说，告诉我们男孩和女孩需要彼此礼貌和尊重，这样我们才能和平和谐地生活，以及所有其他咨询师经常说的话。 他讲话时大家都很安静。 我们都看着地板。 任何时候一个大人大喊大叫，你都应该看着地板。 没人知道为什么。“我很抱歉。 “布拉德，”安德里亚说，她从不错过拍他马屁的机会
