1. The Best Christmas Vacation!

1 The Best Christmas Vacation! My name is A.J., and I hate it when a song gets stuck in my head. Does that ever happen to you? You hear a song a couple of times and learn the words without even trying. Then you find yourself singing it all the time. You sing it while you're walking to school. You sing it while you're taking a bath. You can't stop singing it no matter where you are. I hate when that happens! Ever since Thanksgiving they've been playing this rap song on the radio over and over again. I can't get it out of my head. The song is by this kid who isn't much

最棒的圣诞假期！我叫a。j。我最讨厌脑子里老是有一首歌。 这种事发生在你身上吗？ 你听了几遍一首歌，就毫不费力地学会了歌词。 然后你发现自己一直在唱这首歌。 你在上学的路上唱这首歌。 你洗澡的时候唱。 无论你在哪里，你都不能停止唱它。 我讨厌这种事发生！自从感恩节以来，他们就在收音机里一遍又一遍地播放这首说唱歌曲。 我没法把它从脑海中抹去。 这首歌是一个不起眼的孩子唱的

older than me. His name is Johnny Cray, but his rap name is Cray-Z. My sister loves him. Every girl in the world loves him. The song is called "The Christmas Klepto." It's about this mean guy who steals toys. It starts like this.... 'Twas the night before Christmas. You know the rest. Stuff was all over; the house was all messed. I was dreaming of a Christmas white. It was a totally silent night. That's when I heard a crash and a boom, So I ran right down to the living room. There was this guy dressed all in black, And over his shoulder he carried a sack.

比我大。他的名字是约翰尼·克雷，但他的说唱名字是克雷z。 我妹妹爱他。世界上每个女孩都爱他。 这首歌的名字叫《圣诞窃贼》。 讲的是一个偷玩具的坏家伙。 它像这样开始....那是圣诞节前夜。 剩下的你都知道了。一切都结束了；房子里乱七八糟。 我一直梦想着圣诞白色。 那是一个寂静的夜晚。 就在这时，我听到了撞击声和轰鸣声，所以我直接跑到客厅。 有一个人穿着一身黑衣，肩上背着一个麻袋。

I took one look at him and said, "Whoa, man! I know you're not Frosty the Snowman." "Who are you?" I asked after a pause. "You sure don't look like Santa Claus." He said, "The name's Klepto. I'm from the South Pole. I grab all your presents. That's how I roll. "On Christmas Eve, I go around the world and steal all the presents from boys and girls."

我看了他一眼，说：“哇，伙计！我知道你不是雪人。” “你是谁？”停了一下，我问道。 “你看起来一点也不像圣诞老人。” 他说：“我叫克莱普托。 我来自南极。我拿走了你所有的礼物。 这就是我的风格。“在平安夜，我走遍世界，从男孩和女孩那里偷所有的礼物。”

Ugh. That song is the worst part about Christmas. And now it's stuck in my head forever. Do you know what's the best part about Christmas? No school for nine whole days! That's right. No homework. No reading, writing, math, or social studies. No teachers. Yippee! Nine days! Do you know how long nine days is? I figured it out on my calculator. Nine days is the same as 216 hours. 216 hours is the same as 12,960 minutes. 12,960 minutes is the same as 777,600 seconds. That's a long time. For 777,600 seconds I won't have to see Andrea Young, this annoying girl in my class with curly brown hair. I'm going to enjoy every one of those seconds. This is going to be the greatest Christmas vacation of my life.

啊。那首歌是圣诞节最糟糕的部分。 现在它永远留在了我的脑海里。 你知道圣诞节最棒的部分是什么吗？ 整整九天不上学！这是正确的。 没有家庭作业。没有阅读、写作、数学或社会研究。 没有老师。好啊! !九天!你知道九天有多长吗？ 我用计算器算出来的。 9天等于216小时。 216小时等于12960分钟。 12,960分钟等于777,600秒。 那是一段很长的时间。在777,600秒的时间里，我不用再见到安德里亚·杨，那个在我班上长着棕色卷发的讨厌女孩。 我要好好享受每一秒。 这将是我一生中最棒的圣诞假期。
