8 What’s in the Stall

Chapter 8 What's in the Stall? When we got to the girls' bathroom, Miss Laney was combing her hair in the mirror.* She didn't notice us at first. "Shampoo," she said to herself. "Shampooooo. Shamp ooooo. Sham. Poo. Poo sham. Poosh ham. Poo—" Miss Laney is weird. We started fake coughing so she would notice us. "Oh, hello!" she said. "I was just practicing my ooo sounds while I fixed my hair." "Is your hair broken?" I asked.

第八章货摊里有什么？ 当我们到达女盥洗室时，兰尼小姐正在对着镜子梳头。她起初没有注意到我们。 “洗发水，”她自言自语道。 “Shampooooo。城市好。骗局。 粪便。粪便骗局。Poosh火腿。“呸——”兰尼小姐很奇怪。 我们开始假装咳嗽，这样她就会注意到我们。 “哦，你好！”她说。“我只是在整理头发的时候练习我的oo音。” “你的头发断了吗？”我问。

Everybody laughed even though I didn't say anything funny. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" Miss Laney asked us. (That's grown-up talk for "What are you doing here?") "We came to play I Bet You Can't Say This! again," Ryan said.

大家都笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。 “什么风把您吹来了？”兰尼小姐问我们。 （这是成年人说的“你在这里干什么？”）“我们是来玩《I Bet You Can’t Say This》的！再来一次，”瑞恩说。

"Let's play a different game!" Miss Laney said as she put some weird puppet thing on her hand. "Meet Ollie the Octopus! He's your friend! He likes to play a game called Name the Letter." "How do you play?" Emily asked. "Don't ask me!" said Miss Laney. "Ask Ollie!" "How do you play, Ollie?" Emily asked the puppet. "First, I tell you what to do with your mouth," Ollie said. "Then you tell me what letters you can make. For instance, what letters can you make if you push your lips together?" I went through the alphabet silently, trying to figure out what letters I could make by pushing my lips together. "B…M…and…P!" shouted Andrea. "Very good!" said Ollie the Octopus.

“我们来玩一个不同的游戏吧！”兰尼小姐一边说，一边把一些奇怪的木偶东西戴在手上。 “这是章鱼奥利！”他是你的朋友！他喜欢玩一个叫‘给信命名’的游戏。” “你怎么玩？”艾米丽问。 “别问我！”兰尼小姐说。 ”欧利问!”“你怎么玩，奥利？”爱米丽问木偶。 “首先，我告诉你该怎么管好你的嘴，”奥利说。 “那你告诉我你会写什么字母。 例如，如果你把嘴唇合在一起，你能写出什么字母？”我默默地念着字母表，试着用嘴唇拼出哪些字母。 “B……M……和……P!”安德烈喊道。 “太好了！”章鱼奥利说。

"You're winning, Andrea!" "Yay!" shouted Andrea. I hate her. "Okay, next question," said Ollie. "What letters do you make when you push air through your teeth?" I went through the alphabet in my head. "C… and S!" I yelled. "Good, A.J.!" said Ollie the Octopus. "Next question. What letters do you make by putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth?" "D, N, and T!" I yelled. "Right!" said Ollie. "And what letter do you make by sticking your tongue through your teeth?" "L!" I shouted before anybody else. I totally rule at Name the Letter. "Correct!" Ollie said. "And what letters can you make by vibrating your throat?"

“你赢了，安德莉亚！”“耶！”安德烈喊道。 我恨她。“好吧，下一个问题，”奥利说。 “当你把空气挤出牙齿时，你会发出什么字母？”我在脑子里把字母表过了一遍。 “C……还有S!”我喊道。“很好，A.J.!”章鱼奥利说。 “下一个问题。你把舌头放在上颚的时候会发出什么字母？”“D， N， T!”我喊道。 “对！”奥利说。“你把舌头从牙齿里伸出来是什么字母？”“我!”我在别人之前喊道。 我绝对是“信的名字”的统治者。 “正确!”欧利说。“你通过振动喉咙能写出哪些字母呢？”

"Can I phone a friend?" asked Ryan. "V and Z!" I yelled. "That's it!" Ollie said. "The winner is… A.J.!" Andrea looked all mad. Ha-ha-ha! In her face! It was about time I won something. Nah-nah-nah boo-boo on her. It was the greatest day of my life. Miss Laney—I mean Ollie the Octopus—said I could pick a prize from the mystery treasure chest. I chose a paddle that had a ball attached to it with a rubber band. It was cool. "Okay, A.J.," Ollie said, "it's time to play a new game called… What's in the Stall? You can keep that paddle, or you can have whatever is in Stall Number One, Stall Number Two, or Stall Number Three. It's your choice. Maybe there's a skateboard in one of the stalls. Or maybe there's a

“我能给朋友打电话吗？”瑞恩问。 “V和Z!”我喊道。“就是这样!”欧利说。 “获胜者是……A.J.!”安德烈看上去很生气。 哈哈哈!在她脸上！我是时候赢点什么了。 不，不，不，不。 那是我一生中最美好的一天。 兰妮小姐——我是说章鱼奥利——说我可以从神秘的宝箱中挑选奖品。 我选择了一个用橡皮筋绑着一个球的桨。 很酷。“好了，a.j.，”奥利说，“是时候玩一个新游戏了，叫做……马厩里有什么？” 你可以留着那个桨，或者你可以用一号隔间，二号隔间，三号隔间里的任何东西。 这是你的选择。也许在某个隔间里有个滑板。 或者有一个

BRAND-NEW CAR!" "You can't fit a car into a bathroom stall," Andrea said. "It could be a very small car," Ryan pointed out. "Pick Stall Number One, A.J.!" Emily yelled. "Pick Number Three!" yelled Ryan. "Keep the paddle, Arlo!" Andrea yelled. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to say. I had to think fast. This was the hardest decision I had to make in my life. My brain hurt. "I'll take what's in Stall Number Two," I finally said. "Is that your final answer?" asked Ollie. "Final answer." Miss Laney took away my paddle and opened the door to Stall Number Two. "Oh, sorry!" Ollie said. "You won a toilet

全新的车!”“你不能把一辆车塞进浴室隔间里，”安德里亚说。 “它可能是一辆非常小的车，”瑞恩指出。 “选一号货摊，A.J.!”艾米丽喊道。 “选三号！”瑞恩喊道。 “保持桨，阿乐！”安德里亚喊道。 我不知道该怎么办。我不知道该说什么。 我必须快速思考。这是我一生中做过的最艰难的决定。 我的大脑受伤了。“我要二号货摊里的东西，”我最后说。 “这是你最后的答案吗？”奥利问。 “最终的答案。”兰尼小姐拿走了我的桨，打开了二号隔间的门。 “哦,对不起!”欧利说。“你赢了一个马桶
