6 June

6 June I can't believe we have to go to school in June. Nobody should have to go to school during the summer. "It's not fair!" said Ryan, Alexia, Michael, Neil, and I. "I like going to school during the summer," said Andrea.

我真不敢相信我们六月就要上学了。 没有人应该在暑假期间去上学。 “这不公平！”瑞安、亚历克西娅、迈克尔、尼尔和我说。 “我喜欢在夏天上学，”安德里亚说。

"Me too," said Emily. "We get to learn more things." What is their problem? Mean Dr. Carbles was slinking around on June 1 to make sure everybody showed up at school. Going to school in June was horrible. But we made the best of it because June 1 is National Go Barefoot Day. So we got to walk around school without shoes or socks. That was fun. But it wasn't as much fun as June 2. Mrs. Roopy told us it was Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day. WHAT?! "Let's celebrate!" we all shouted. Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day is the weirdest holiday in the history of holidays. At noon, we all went outside, faced south, and yelled "Fudge!" Why? Because it prevents cobras from invading North America.*

“我也是，”爱米丽说。“我们可以学到更多的东西。” 他们的问题是什么？意味着博士。 Carbles在6月1日溜来溜去，以确保每个人都在学校露面。 六月上学是件可怕的事。 但我们充分利用了这一点，因为6月1日是全国赤脚日。 所以我们不得不光着脚在学校里走来走去。 那很有趣。但它没有6月2日那么有趣。 鲁比太太告诉我们那是北美眼镜蛇节上的“软糖” 什么? !“让我们庆祝一下吧！” 北美眼镜蛇日是假日史上最奇怪的节日。 中午，我们都走到外面，面朝南，大喊“福吉！”为什么? 因为它能防止眼镜蛇入侵北美

I had some questions for Mrs. Roopy about this holiday. First of all, do cobras really understand human speech? And why would yelling "fudge" prevent them from invading North America? What if we just yelled "chocolate"? And if cobras hate fudge so much, why don't we just scatter pieces of fudge all over North America to keep them away? While I was asking these questions, Andrea was looking up cobras on the computer. "Hmmm," she said. "There are hardly any cobras in North America anyway. Cobras live

我有一些关于这个假期的问题要问鲁比太太。 首先，眼镜蛇真的能听懂人类的语言吗？ 为什么大喊“软糖”能阻止他们入侵北美？ 我们直接喊“巧克力”怎么样？ 如果眼镜蛇那么讨厌软糖，为什么我们不把软糖撒在北美各地来赶走它们呢？ 当我问这些问题的时候，安德里亚正在电脑上查找眼镜蛇。 “嗯，”她说。“反正北美几乎没有眼镜蛇。 眼镜蛇生活

mostly in Africa and Asia." "See?" said Mrs. Roopy. "That proves that Yell 'Fudge' at the Cobras in North America Day is working. We keep the cobras away by yelling 'fudge.'" Good point. I wondered why people in Africa and Asia don't yell "fudge" on June 2. That might keep their cobras away. Anyway, to celebrate Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day, Mrs. Roopy got a big hunk of fudge that we cut up into pieces. I ate so much fudge, I thought I was going to throw up. It was the greatest day of my life. And I didn't see a single cobra.

主要在非洲和亚洲。” “看到了吗？”鲁比太太说。“这证明在北美眼镜蛇日大喊‘软糖’是有效的。 我们喊着“软蛋”来赶走眼镜蛇。’”说得好。 我想知道为什么非洲和亚洲的人不会在6月2日大喊“软糖”。 这可能会让他们远离眼镜蛇。 总之，为了在北美眼镜蛇日庆祝“软糖”，鲁比太太买了一大块软糖，我们把它切成碎片。 我吃了那么多软糖，我想我要吐了。 那是我一生中最美好的一天。 我没有看到一条眼镜蛇。
