6. Mr. Dummy

6 Mr. Dummy Beaver scouting was no fun. While we were waiting for Miss Blake to show up for our next meeting, we were all grumbling. "I thought we were going to decorate pumpkins and make Popsicle-stick snowman ornaments," said Alexia.

笨海狸先生的侦察工作一点也不好玩。 我们在等布莱克小姐来参加下次会议的时候，都在抱怨。 “我以为我们要装饰南瓜，做冰棒雪人装饰品，”亚历克西亚说。

"I thought we were going to build race cars out of wood," said Michael. "I thought we were going to go spelunking," said Ryan. "I'm thinking of quitting Beaver Scouts," I told the gang. "Me too," everybody agreed. We all stopped talking when Miss Blake arrived. "I heard what you kids said about quitting," she barked. "Do you know what they call people who quit?" "No, what?" we all asked. "Quitters!" barked Miss Blake. Well, that made sense. "So you're not having fun, eh?" Miss Blake barked. "You want fun? Next week we're going on an overnight in the woods. It will be more fun than you've ever had in your life."

“我还以为我们要用木头造赛车呢，”迈克尔说。 “我以为我们要去洞穴探险，”瑞恩说。 “我在考虑退出海狸侦察兵，”我告诉他们。 “我也是，”大家都同意。 布莱克小姐到达时，我们都停止了谈话。 “我听到你们这些孩子说要辞职了，”她吼道。 “你知道他们怎么称呼辞职的人吗？”“不，什么？”我们都问。 “放弃！”布莱克小姐吼道。 这是有道理的。“所以你不开心，是吗？”布莱克小姐叫道。 “你想找乐子？”下周我们要在树林里过夜。 这将是你一生中从未有过的乐趣。”

"Yay!" we all shouted. "But you never know what might happen out in the woods," barked Miss Blake. "You've got to be ready for anything. I hope you studied the part about first aid in the Beaver Scout Handbook." "I did!" shouted the Human Homework Machine. "I also took a lifesaving class after school. When I get older, I'm going to get a job as a lifeguard." Andrea takes classes in everything after school. If they gave a class in brushing your teeth, she would take that class so she could get better at it. "Good job, Andrea!" barked Miss Blake. "Life throws stuff at you when you least expect it. You've got to be prepared at all times. Let's say you're in

“耶！”我们都喊道。“但你永远不知道树林里会发生什么，”布莱克小姐咆哮道。 “你必须为任何事情做好准备。 我希望你学过《海狸侦察兵手册》里关于急救的那部分。” “我做到了！”人类作业机器喊道。 “放学后我还参加了一个救生班。 等我长大了，我要找一份救生员的工作。” 安德里亚放学后要上各种课程。 如果他们开设了一门关于刷牙的课程，她会去上那门课，这样她就能在这方面做得更好。 “干得好，安德里亚！”布莱克小姐吼道。 “生活在你最意想不到的时候向你扔东西。 你必须时刻做好准备。 假设你加入了

the wilderness. Somebody faints and stops breathing. What do you do? It's an emergency!" "You should break some glass," I said right away. "Why would you do that?" asked Miss Blake. "My family was at a hotel once," I replied. "There was a sign that said you should break glass in case of emergency." Miss Blake slapped her own forehead. "If somebody can't breathe, you should call 9-1-1," said Neil. "You're in the wilderness!" barked Miss Blake. "There's no time to call 9-11, and you probably don't have cell phone service anyway. The correct answer is that you should give that person mouth-to-mouth resuscitation."

旷野。有人晕倒，停止呼吸。 你是怎么做的？这是紧急情况！”“你应该打碎一些玻璃，”我马上说。 “你为什么要那么做？”布莱克小姐问。 “我的家人曾经住过一家酒店，”我回答。 “有一个标志说在紧急情况下你应该打破玻璃。” 布莱克小姐拍了自己的额头。 尼尔说：“如果有人无法呼吸，你应该拨打911。” “你在荒野里！”布莱克小姐吼道。 “没有时间打911，而且你可能也没有手机服务。 正确的答案是你应该对那个人进行人工呼吸。”

Oh no, not that. I've seen mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. It looks a lot like kissing. Miss Blake went to the closet and dragged out a big mannequin. It was the size of a grown-up man. "This is Mr. Dummy," she barked. "He's not breathing." "We've got to do something!" shouted Emily, as if Mr. Dummy was a real person. "I'll show you what to do," barked Miss Blake. She got down on her hands and knees, tilted Mr. Dummy's head back, pinched his nostrils shut, and started blowing air into his mouth. Gross. I don't know about you, but I say kissing a dummy is weird. Kissing anything is weird. But kissing a dummy is especially weird.

哦，不，不是那个。我见过人工呼吸。 看起来很像接吻。 布莱克小姐走到壁橱前，拖出一个巨大的人体模型。 它有一个成年人的大小。 “这是笨蛋先生。”她叫道。 “他没有呼吸了。”“我们得做点什么！”爱米丽喊道，好像Dummy先生是个真人似的。 “我来告诉你该怎么做，”布莱克小姐吼道。 她双手双膝跪在地上，把杜米先生的头向后仰，捏住他的鼻孔，开始往他嘴里吹气。 恶心。我不知道你怎么想，但我觉得亲吻假人很奇怪。 亲吻任何东西都很奇怪。 但亲吻假人尤其奇怪。

"That looks hard," said Alexia. "I don't know if I could do that in an emergency." "Hey, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen," barked Miss Blake. Huh? We weren't in a kitchen. What did kitchens have to do with anything?* "I saved Mr. Dummy's life," barked Miss Blake. "He's breathing again." "Yay!" everybody shouted, even

“这看起来很难。”亚历克西娅说。 “我不知道在紧急情况下我是否能做到这一点。” “嘿，如果你不能承受热量，就滚出厨房。”布莱克小姐吼道。 嗯?我们不是在厨房里。 厨房和任何事情有什么关系？“我救了笨蛋先生的命。”布莱克小姐吼道。 “他又呼吸了。”“耶！”每个人都喊道
