5 Two Words That Should Never Be in the Same Sentence

5个不应该出现在同一个句子里的单词

I thought that was the end of it. Seeing the ghost of Mr. Klutz had to be just a once-in-a-lifetime bad dream. Nothing like that could ever happen again. But then something else weird happened. The clock struck eleven, and I thought I should really get myself a clock. Just as I was falling back asleep, I heard another spooky voice. "A.J.... A.J.... A.J...." When I opened my eyes, I saw that there were two ghosts floating over my bed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed. The ghosts put their fingers up to their lips. "Shhhhhhh," they whispered. "Help!" I shouted. "Security! There's somebody in my room!" "Shhhhhhh." "What are you doing in my bedroom?" I

我以为就到此为止了。 看到克鲁茨先生的鬼魂肯定是一生只做一次的噩梦。 这样的事不会再发生了。 但后来又发生了一些奇怪的事情。 钟敲了11下，我想我真该给自己买个钟了。 正当我重新入睡时，我听到了另一个可怕的声音。 “A.J…A.J……A.J……”当我睁开眼睛时，我看到有两个鬼魂在我的床上漂浮。 “Ahhhhhhhhhhh !”我尖叫起来。 鬼魂们把手指举到嘴唇上。 “嘘——”他们低声说。 “救命!”我叫道。“安全!有人在我的房间里！”“Shhhhhhh。” “你在我的卧室里干什么？”我

asked. "How did you get in here? Isn't this breaking and entering?" The words READ LIKE CRAZY were on the ghosts' shirts, and the ghosts were each carrying a big cardboard box. I looked at the ghosts more closely. They looked a lot like Mr. Macky, our reading specialist, and Mrs. Roopy, our librarian. "Mrs. Roopy?" I called out. "Mr. Macky?" "Never heard of those people," said the ghost that looked like Mrs. Roopy. "We are... the ghosts of summer reading." WHAT?! "Summer" and "reading" are two words that should never be in the same sentence. That's the first rule of being a kid. "I never heard of the ghosts of summer reading," I said. "It's a thing," said Mr. Macky. "You two look just like Mr. Macky and Mrs. Roopy from my school."

问。“你是怎么进来的？” 这不是私闯民宅吗？”鬼魂的衬衫上印着“读得像疯了一样”的字样，每个鬼魂都拿着一个大纸板箱。 我更仔细地看了看鬼魂。 他们看起来很像我们的阅读专家麦基先生和图书管理员鲁比夫人。 “Roopy太太?”我喊道。 “麦基先生吗?”“从来没听说过这些人，”那个看起来像鲁比太太的鬼魂说。 “我们是……夏日阅读的幽灵。” 什么? !“夏天”和“阅读”这两个词永远不应该出现在同一个句子里。 这是当孩子的第一准则。 “我从来没听说过暑假读书的鬼魂，”我说。 “这是一件事，”麦基先生说。 “你们俩长得很像我们学校的麦基先生和鲁比太太。”

"We get that all the time," said the ghost of Mr. Macky. "We brought you some presents, A.J.," said the ghost of Mrs. Roopy. Presents? I like getting presents! Maybe these weren't bad ghosts. I wondered what was in the boxes they were carrying. The ghosts floated down and put them on the edge of my bed. "Is there a new video game system in there?" I asked excitedly. "Is it a new skateboard?" "No," said Mr. Macky. "We brought you some... books."* WHAT!? Books?! I hate books! I don't even know why you're reading this one. Books are boring. Reading is boring. "I don't like to read," I told the two ghosts. They let out eerie cackling laughs as they

“我们经常听到这样的话，”麦基先生的鬼魂说。 “我们给你带来了一些礼物，a.j.，”鲁比太太的鬼魂说。 礼物呢?我喜欢收到礼物！也许这些不是恶鬼。 我想知道他们搬运的箱子里装的是什么。 鬼魂飘下来，把它们放在我的床沿上。 “里面有新的电子游戏系统吗？”我兴奋地问。 “是新的滑板吗？”“不，”麦基先生说。 “我们给你带了一些……书。“* !什么? 书吗? !我讨厌书！我都不知道你为什么要读这本书。 书很无聊。读书很无聊。 “我不喜欢读书，”我对两个鬼魂说。 他们发出诡异的咯咯笑声

opened the boxes.

打开盒子。

"That's too bad," said Mr. Macky, pulling out a thick book and handing it to me. "Because this summer your assignment will be to read The Complete Works of William Shakespeare." "Noooooooo!" I shouted, covering my ears. "Not Shakespeare! He's the most boring of all!" Mrs. Roopy pulled a fat book out of her box. "This is the first book of a twenty-book encyclopedia," she told me. "You'll have to read all twenty books." "Noooooooo!" I screamed at her. "Not an encyclopedia!" There was nothing I could do. They were already pulling more books out of their boxes. Fiction. Nonfiction. Chapter books. Nonchapter books. Picture books. Nonpicture books. It was horrible! I wanted to run away to Antarctica and live with the

“那太糟糕了，”麦基先生说着，拿出一本厚厚的书递给我。 “因为今年夏天你们的作业是读《莎士比亚全集》。” “错了”,我捂着耳朵喊道。 “不是莎士比亚!他是所有人中最无聊的！”鲁比太太从箱子里拿出一本厚厚的书。 “这是20本百科全书中的第一本，”她告诉我。 “你得把这二十本书都读完。” “错了”,我朝她尖叫。 “不是百科全书！”我什么也做不了。 他们已经从箱子里拿出了更多的书。 小说。非小说。章的书。 Nonchapter书。图画书。 Nonpicture书。太可怕了！我想逃到南极洲和
