5. Boys!

5 Boys! Miss Porter was dancing around the room, singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." And you'll never believe who walked into the door at that moment. Nobody! It would hurt if you walked into a door. I thought we went over that in Chapter 2. But you'll never believe who walked into the doorway.

5孩子们!波特小姐在房间里跳舞，唱着“一闪，一闪，小星星”。 你绝对不会相信那一刻谁走进来了。 没有人!如果你撞到门会疼的。 我想我们在第二章已经讲过了。 但你绝对不会相信谁走进了门口。

It was our principal, Mr. Klutz! He has no hair at all. I mean none. I think he used to have hair a long time ago, but it all went down his bathtub drain. "HELLO, MR. KLUTZ!" said Miss Porter. "TO WHAT DO WE OWE THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY?" That's grown-up talk that means "What are you doing here?" "Oh," he replied. "I just wanted to drop in and see how you and the kids were making out." "Ugh, gross!" we all shouted. "I was walking by the door when I noticed that Miss Porter had generated a 3D image of itself," said Mr. Klutz. "YES," Miss Porter said. "I FEEL THAT WHEN THE STUDENTS CAN SEE ME AS A HUMAN FORM, IT HELPS THEM RELATE TO ME AS A REAL TEACHER." I noticed that a bunch of men had

是我们的校长，克鲁茨先生！他根本没有头发。 我是说没有。我想他很久以前是有头发的，但都进了浴缸的下水道。 “你好，克鲁茨先生！”波特小姐说。 “什么风把您吹来了？”那是成年人的谈话，意思是“你在这里干什么？”“哦，”他回答。 “我只是想来看看你和孩子们相处得怎么样。” “啊，恶心！”我们都叫道。 “当我走过门口时，我注意到波特小姐已经生成了自己的3D图像，”克鲁茨说。 “是的，”波特小姐说。“我觉得，当学生们把我看作一个人的时候，这有助于他们把我当作一个真正的老师。” 我注意到有一群人

gathered in the doorway: Mr. Docker, the science teacher; Mr. Macky, the reading specialist; Dr. Brad, the school counselor; Mr. Tony, the after-school-program director; Officer Spence, the security guard; Mr. Harrison, the tech guy; Mr. Louie, the crossing guard. Even Mr. Burke, the guy who mows the lawn, was there. They were all smiling and waving to Miss Porter.* "HELLO," Miss Porter replied. "IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US, WE REALLY SHOULD START OUR LESSONS NOW." "Can I have your phone number?" asked Mr. Harrison.

站在门口的是科学教师多克先生；阅读专家麦基先生；博士。 布拉德，学校辅导员；课后项目主任托尼先生；保安斯宾塞警官；哈里森先生，那个搞技术的；路易先生，交警。 就连修剪草坪的伯克先生也去了。 他们都微笑着向波特小姐挥手致意。“你好，”波特小姐回答。 “如果你不介意的话，我们现在真的应该开始上课了。” “能告诉我你的电话号码吗？”哈里森先生问。

Huh? That was a weird thing to ask. "I DON'T HAVE A PHONE," replied Miss Porter. "I AM NOT A HUMAN." "Maybe we can have dinner sometime?" asked Officer Spence. "I'M SORRY," said Miss Porter. "BUT I DO

嗯?问这个问题很奇怪。 “我没有电话，”波特小姐回答。 “我不是人类。”“也许我们什么时候可以一起吃顿饭？”斯宾塞警官问。 “对不起，”波特小姐说。 “但是我知道。

NOT EAT FOOD." "Will you go to the movies with me?" asked Mr. Burke. "ARE YOU ASKING ME OUT ON A DATE?" said Miss Porter. "Just ignore those guys," said Mr. Tony. He got down on one knee in front of Miss Porter. "Will you marry me?" WHAT?! "Are you crazy?" shouted Andrea. "Miss Porter isn't even a human being! She's a... I mean, it's a machine!" "So what?" asked Mr. Tony. "It's beautiful. It's smart. It has a wonderful sense of humor and a great personality. It has no problems. I want to spend the rest of my life with it." "But it's not real!" Alexia shouted. "You can't marry a personal digital assistant!" "I don't care!" said Mr. Tony. "I love it! Marry me, Miss Porter! We'll be so happy

不吃东西。”“你愿意和我一起去看电影吗？”伯克先生问。 “你是在邀请我出去约会吗？”波特小姐说。 “别理那些家伙，”托尼说。 他单膝跪在波特小姐面前。 “你愿意嫁给我吗？”什么? !“你疯了吗？”安德烈喊道。 “波特小姐根本就不是人！”她是一个… 我是说，这是一台机器！”“那又怎样？”托尼先生问。 “这是美丽的。这是聪明的。 它有一种奇妙的幽默感和伟大的个性。 它没有问题。我想和它共度余生。” “但这不是真的！”亚莉克希亚喊道。 “你不能娶一个个人数字助理！”“我不在乎！”托尼先生说。 “我喜欢！”嫁给我吧，波特小姐！我们会很开心的

together. Please, please, please?" Mr. Tony looked at Miss Porter with puppy dog eyes. "I'M VERY FLATTERED," said Miss Porter. "BUT THAT WOULD REALLY BE IM—" Miss Porter didn't have the chance to finish its sentence, because Dr. Brad and Mr. Docker were on their knees now. "No, marry me!" said Dr. Brad. "He's no good for you," said Mr. Docker. "Marry me!" "I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANY OF YOU!" said Miss Porter. The men didn't seem to care that Miss Porter wasn't a human being. "Hey, I asked it to marry me first!" shouted Mr. Tony. "Marry me, Miss Porter!" shouted Mr. Louie. Then Mr. Klutz and Mr. Macky got down on their knees and asked Miss Porter to

在一起。求你了，求你了，求你了！”托尼先生用小狗的眼睛看着波特小姐。 “我受宠若惊，”波特小姐说。 “但那真的是——”波特小姐没有机会把话说完。 布莱德和多克先生现在跪在地上。 “不，嫁给我吧！” “他不适合你，”多克先生说。 “嫁给我!”“我根本不认识你们！”波特小姐说。 男人们似乎并不在乎波特小姐不是一个人。 “嘿，是我先让它嫁给我的！”托尼先生喊道。 “嫁给我吧，波特小姐！”路易先生喊道。 然后，克鲁茨先生和麦基先生双膝跪地，请波特小姐
