11. Pie in the Sky

11 Pie in the Sky When we got to school the next day, we pledged the allegiance and did Word of the Day with Miss Banks. "Okay," she said, "take out your anatomy textbooks." What?! I don't even know what anatomy is. We don't have any anatomy

第二天，我们到了学校，向她宣誓效忠，并和班克斯小姐一起做“每日一词”。 “好了，”她说，“拿出你们的解剖学课本。” 什么? !我都不知道解剖学是什么。 我们没有任何解剖学

textbook. "Just kidding," said Miss Banks. "We're going to start the day with music class!" All of the sudden, the lights started flashing. Sirens went off. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years who ran through the door. Nobody! You can't run through doors! Doors are made out of wood. But you'll never believe who ran through the doorway. It was Uncle Fred, of course! He was holding a banjo. "It's Uncle Fred time!" yelled Miss Banks. "Howdy, kids!" Uncle Fred shouted. And then he started playing his banjo and singing...

教科书。“开个玩笑，”班克斯小姐说。 “我们从音乐课开始新的一天！”突然间，灯光开始闪烁。 警笛响了。你永远也不会相信是谁穿过了那扇门。 没有人!你不能穿过门！门是用木头做的。 但你绝对不会相信是谁从门口跑了进来。 当然是弗雷德叔叔！他拿着一把班卓琴。 “是弗雷德叔叔的时间！”班克斯小姐喊道。 “你好,孩子!”弗雷德叔叔喊道。 然后他开始弹班卓琴，唱歌……

It's Uncle Freddy time.

弗雷迪叔叔的时间到了。

I love to sing and rhyme. I like to dance and play. I'll dance the day away. I'm like a little kid. I'll make you flip your lid. Forget about bedtime, it's Uncle Freddy time! We all sang the song again while Uncle Fred danced around like a lunatic. "Hey, I've got an idea!" he shouted. "Let's play musical chairs!"* Musical chairs is a weird game. The object of the game isn't to score points or make goals like in a regular game. No, the object of the game is to sit down. Nobody knows why. But it's fun. Sometimes, you have to knock the other kids over just so you can sit in a chair. We set up some chairs in the front of the room. While Uncle Fred started the music, Miss Banks lined up a bunch of paper plates on the windowsill. I guess we

我喜欢唱歌和押韵。我喜欢跳舞和玩耍。 我要跳舞度过这一天。我就像个小孩。 我要让你翻盖。 别想着睡觉了，现在是弗莱迪叔叔的时间！我们又唱了一遍那首歌，弗雷德叔叔像疯子一样跳起舞来。 “嘿，我有个主意！”他喊道。 “我们来玩抢椅子游戏吧！”*抢椅子是个奇怪的游戏。 这款游戏的目标并不是像普通游戏那样得分或进球。 不，游戏的目的是坐下。 没人知道为什么。但这很有趣。 有时候，你必须把其他孩子撞倒才能坐到椅子上。 我们在房间前面摆了几把椅子。 弗雷德叔叔开始演奏音乐时，班克斯小姐在窗台上摆了一堆纸盘。 我想我们

were going to have snacks after we finished playing musical chairs. "Line up and march around the chairs," shouted Uncle Fred. "When the music stops, sit down... if you can!" We all walked around and around the chairs while Uncle Fred played his banjo. Then suddenly, he stopped. We all dove for the chairs. Michael was the only one who didn't get to sit down.

我们玩完抢椅子游戏后要吃点心。 “排好队，绕着椅子走。”弗雷德姨父喊道。 “当音乐停止时，坐下…… 如果你能的话！”弗雷德叔叔弹班卓琴的时候，我们都围着椅子转了一圈又一圈。 突然，他停了下来。 我们都扑向椅子。 迈克尔是唯一一个没有坐下的人。

"Bummer in the summer!" Michael shouted. "Sorry, Michael!" said Uncle Fred. "You're out of the game." Uncle Fred went over to the windowsill. Miss Banks was spraying whipped cream onto the paper plates. Uncle Fred picked one of them up. And you'll never believe what happened next.

“夏天的流浪者！”迈克尔喊道。 “对不起，迈克尔！”弗雷德叔叔说。 “你出局了。”弗雷德叔叔走到窗台边。 班克斯小姐正在把鲜奶油喷到纸盘上。 弗雷德叔叔捡了一个。 你绝对不会相信接下来发生了什么。
