5. Sense and Non-Sense

5 Sense and Non-Sense There were only two more days until the F.A.R.T. We were still nervous about the test, but thanks to Ms. Jo-Jo, everybody was getting relaxed. We couldn't wait to see what she was going to do with us next. "Namaste," she said as she walked

还有两天就要进行联邦紧急救援行动了 我们仍然对考试感到紧张，但是多亏了老师。 乔乔，每个人都很放松。 我们迫不及待地想知道她接下来要对我们做什么。 “合十礼，”她边走边说

into our classroom. She was carrying a tray with a bunch of paper cups on it. "Namaste," we all replied. "Are you kids getting relaxed?" she asked. "Yeah!" we all said. "Great! Get on your shoes and take off the floor." HUH? "I mean get on the floor and take off your shoes." Oh, that's different. "Today we're going to relax your senses," said Ms. Jo-Jo as she gave each of us a cup with some green stuff in it. "First, your sense of taste. Drink this." "What is it, mint?" I asked as I took a sip. "It's celery juice," she replied. "It's a superfood."

进入我们的教室。她拿着一个托盘，上面放着一堆纸杯。 “合十礼，”我们都回答。 “你们这些孩子放松了吗？”她问。 “是啊！”我们都说。“太好了!穿上鞋子，离开地板。” 嗯?“我是说站到地板上，把鞋脱了。” 哦，那不一样。“今天我们要放松你的感官。” 乔乔给了我们每个人一个杯子，里面有一些绿色的东西。 “首先，你的味觉。 喝这个。”“什么事，薄荷？”我抿了一口问道。 “这是芹菜汁，”她回答。 “它是一种超级食物。”

Ugh! Celery juice tasted like celery, but even yuckier. I thought I was gonna die. Everybody hated the taste, except for Andrea and Emily, of course. They asked for seconds. Ms. Jo-Jo felt bad that we didn't like her celery juice, so she gave each of us a pacifier, which are those things they give

啊!芹菜汁尝起来像芹菜，但更难吃。 我以为我要死了。 每个人都讨厌这种味道，当然除了安德里亚和艾米丽。 他们要求再来一次。Ms。 乔乔对我们不喜欢她的芹菜汁感到很难过，所以她给了我们每个人一个奶嘴，就是他们给的东西

to crying babies to keep them quiet. "What am I supposed to do with this?" I asked. "Suck on it, of course," said Ms. Jo-Jo. "But they're for babies!" complained Ryan. "Aren't we all just babies that got bigger?" asked Ms. Jo-Jo. "Pacifiers relax children of all ages." I sucked on the pacifier. She was right. It was relaxing. Next, Ms. Jo-Jo went out in the hall and came back carrying a big tent, the kind you use when you go camping. She pushed some of our desks aside and opened up the tent in the middle of the classroom. "What are we going to do with a tent?" asked Michael.

让哭闹的婴儿安静下来。 “我该拿这个怎么办？”我问。 “当然是吸吧，”她说。 雪莱。“但那是给婴儿看的！”瑞恩抱怨道。 “我们不都是长大了的婴儿吗？” 雪莱。“安抚奶嘴能让所有年龄段的孩子都放松下来。” 我吸了一口奶嘴。她是对的。 很放松。接下来,女士。 乔乔去了大厅，回来时拿着一个大帐篷，就是你去露营时用的那种。 她把我们的一些桌子推到一边，打开了教室中央的帐篷。 “我们要帐篷做什么？”迈克尔问。

"It's not just a tent," Ms. Jo-Jo replied as she climbed inside. "It's an Aroma Dome. It will help relax your sense of smell. Come on in!" We all climbed into the Aroma Dome. Ms. Jo-Jo lit some stinky candles and told us to breathe in the essential oils. Then she took a banana out of her pocket. "What's that for?" Neil asked. Ms. Jo-Jo peeled the banana and told Neil to rub the peel on his ears. He did. This was getting weird. "Banana oil calms your nerves and relieves your stress," she told Neil as she ate the banana. "Go ahead, everybody try it." I wasn't going to rub a banana peel on my ears. No way! That was just too weird. But everybody else in the class started rubbing the banana peel on their ears. I

“这不仅仅是一个帐篷。” 乔乔边说边爬进去。 “这是一个香气穹顶。这将有助于放松你的嗅觉。 进来吧！”我们都爬进了香气穹顶。 乔乔女士点了几根臭气熏天的蜡烛，让我们吸入精油。 然后她从口袋里拿出一根香蕉。 “那是干什么用的？”尼尔问。 乔乔女士剥了香蕉皮，让尼尔把香蕉皮擦在耳朵上。 他做到了。这变得越来越奇怪了。 她一边吃香蕉一边对尼尔说：“香蕉油可以安抚你的神经，缓解你的压力。 “来吧，大家都试试。” 我才不会在耳朵上蹭香蕉皮呢。 没门!那太奇怪了。 但是班上的其他人都开始用香蕉皮在耳朵上摩擦。 我

didn't want to look like the weird kid, so I rubbed the banana peel on my ears. It felt strange, but kind of nice. "Your skin absorbs the vitamins from the banana," said Ms. Jo-Jo. After that, she burned some green leafy stuff called sage. She said it promotes healing and gets rid of bad vibes, negative energy, and evil spirits. It also stinks. I was afraid it might set off the fire alarm. "Ummm," said Andrea. "It smells nice in here." "The Aroma Dome is like a rain forest," said Ms. Jo-Jo, "but without the forest.* Next, let's relax your sense of hearing."

我不想看起来像个奇怪的孩子，所以我把香蕉皮擦在耳朵上。 感觉很奇怪，但也不错。 “你的皮肤从香蕉中吸收维生素，”她说。 雪莱。在那之后，她烧了一些叫做鼠尾草的绿叶东西。 她说，它能促进康复，消除不良情绪、负面能量和邪恶的灵魂。 它也很臭。我怕它会拉响火警。 “嗯，”安德烈说。“这里闻起来很香。” “Aroma Dome就像热带雨林，”她说。 乔乔，”但是没有森林。接下来，让我们放松你的听觉。”
