3 Miss Laney Is Weird

Chapter 3 Miss Laney Is Weird In the middle of the girls' bathroom was a lady with dark hair. She was sitting behind a desk—Mr. Granite's desk. "Come on in!" the lady said excitedly. She sounded like one of those game show hosts on TV. "Who are you?" asked Andrea.

兰尼小姐很奇怪在女盥洗室中间站着一位黑发女士。 她正坐在一张桌子后面。 花岗岩的桌子上。“请进！”女士兴奋地说。 她听起来就像电视上的游戏节目主持人。 “你是谁？”安德烈问。

"I'm Miss Laney, the new speech teacher," the lady said. "I'm soooooo glad you could join me today!"

“我是兰尼小姐，新来的演讲老师，”那位女士说。 “我很高兴你今天能来！”

Miss Laney is way too enthusiastic about stuff. I always wondered what was in the girls' bathroom. I looked around. There were three stalls against the wall but no urinals. On the walls were a bunch of posters with pictures of TV stars. Girls' bathrooms are weird. "Why is your office in the bathroom?" asked Emily. "Because of budget cuts, they couldn't afford to give me a regular office," Miss Laney told us. "But a bathroom is perfect for speech class. This room has really good acoustics." "I don't see any good cue sticks," I said. "My uncle has a pool table in his basement, and he's got some really good cue sticks." "Not 'cue sticks,' dumbhead!" Andrea said, rolling her eyes. "'Acoustics'!"

兰尼小姐对事情太热情了。 我一直想知道女厕所里有什么。 我环顾四周。靠墙有三个隔间，但没有小便池。 墙上挂着一堆印有电视明星照片的海报。 女生的浴室很奇怪。 “为什么你的办公室在浴室里？”艾米丽问。 “由于预算削减，他们负担不起给我一间固定的办公室，”兰尼小姐告诉我们。 “但卫生间是上演讲课的最佳场所。 这个房间的音响效果非常好。” “我没有看到任何好的球杆，”我说。 “我叔叔的地下室里有一张台球桌，他还有一些非常好的球杆。” “不是‘球杆’，笨蛋！”安德烈说，翻白眼。 ““音响”!”

It sounded a lot like "a cue stick" to me. "Do you know what the word 'acoustics' means?" Miss Laney asked. "Yes!" Andrea said, "acoustics is the science of sound." "Very good, Andrea!" Miss Laney said, all smiley. Little Miss Brownnoser knows about dumb stuff like acoustics because she reads the encyclopedia for the fun of it. What is her problem? "Wait a minute," Emily said. "If this is the speech room now, where should we go to the bathroom?" "In your pants!" I said. Ryan cracked up. "Starting today," Miss Laney told us, "the girls go to the bathroom in the boys' bathroom." What?! "If the girls go to the bathroom in the

听起来很像“球杆”。 “你知道‘声学’这个词是什么意思吗？”兰尼小姐问。 “是的!”Andrea说：“声学是关于声音的科学。” “很好，安德烈！”兰尼小姐笑着说。 小布朗诺瑟小姐知道一些愚蠢的东西，比如声学，因为她读百科全书只是为了好玩。 她有什么问题？“等一下，”爱米丽说。 “如果现在这里是演讲室，我们应该去哪里上厕所？”“在你裤子里！”我说。 瑞恩大笑起来。“从今天开始，”兰尼小姐告诉我们，“女生要去男生洗手间。” 什么? !“如果女孩们去洗手间

boys' bathroom, where will the boys go to the bathroom?" Ryan asked. "Out there," Miss Laney said. I looked out the window. There was a tree outside. "We have to use a tree?" I asked. "There's a porta-potty near the tree," Miss Laney said. I stood on my tiptoes at the window and saw the porta-potty.

男生厕所，男生上哪儿厕所？”瑞恩问道。 “在那儿，”兰尼小姐说。 我向窗外望去。外面有一棵树。 “我们非得用树吗？”我问。 “树旁边有个移动厕所，”兰尼小姐说。 我踮起脚尖站在窗前，看到了移动厕所。

"I'd rather use the tree," I said. "Yeah, can we use the tree?" asked Ryan. "That could kill the tree, Arlo," Andrea said. "Your face could kill a tree," I told Andrea. "There must be some mistake, Miss Laney," Emily said. "We don't need speech class."

“我宁愿用这棵树，”我说。 “是的，我们可以用这棵树吗？”瑞恩问。 “那会害死树的，阿乐，”安德烈说。 “你的脸能杀死一棵树，”我对安德里亚说。 “一定是搞错了，兰尼小姐，”爱米丽说。 “我们不需要演讲课。”
