3. More Fun with Uncle Fred

3 More Fun with Uncle Fred I had forgotten how funny Uncle Fred was. As soon as he finished singing the boat song, he started dancing. "It's time to do the Gerbil Dance!" he shouted. The cue card guy held up a sign that said SHOUT. We all shouted.

我都忘了弗雷德叔叔有多风趣了。 他一唱完船歌，就开始跳舞。 “该跳沙鼠舞了！”他喊道。 提示牌的人举着一个牌子，上面写着“喊”。 我们都喊了起来。

"The Gerbil Dance is easy to do," said Uncle Fred. "All you need to do is dance around like a gerbil!" "How do gerbils dance?" some kid yelled. "Watch me!" shouted Uncle Fred. He did this crazy dance where he hopped back and forth on each foot and stuck his fingers in his ears. I really don't think gerbils dance like that. To tell you the truth, I don't think they dance at all. But it was funny. We all got up and did the Gerbil Dance while the music played. I almost fell off the bleachers. "Uncle Fred is a knucklehead!" Ryan said when the music stopped. Uncle Fred threw some confetti in the air and ran up into the bleachers. He stuck his microphone in some girl's face. "Hey, Megan," he said, "what's your favorite kind of dirt?" "Uh... dirty dirt?" she replied.

“沙鼠舞很容易跳，”弗雷德叔叔说。 “你所要做的就是像沙鼠一样跳舞！”“沙鼠是怎么跳舞的？”一个孩子喊道。 “看着我！”弗雷德叔叔喊道。 他跳着疯狂的舞蹈，每只脚都前后跳着，手指插在耳朵里。 我真的不认为沙鼠是那样跳舞的。 说实话，我认为他们根本不跳舞。 但这很有趣。我们都站起来，在音乐的伴奏下跳起了沙鼠舞。 我差点从看台上摔下来。 “弗雷德叔叔是个傻瓜！”音乐停了，瑞恩说。 弗雷德叔叔向空中扔了一些五彩纸屑，跑到露天看台上。 他把麦克风塞到一个女孩的脸上。 “嘿，梅根，”他说，“你最喜欢哪种泥土？”“嗯… 脏东西？”她回答。

"Good answer!" Uncle Fred stuck the mic in some other kid's face. "Hey, Andrew," he said, "do you like to eat oatmeal?" "Not really," he replied. Uncle Fred ran over to our side of the bleachers and stuck the mic in Neil's face. "Hey, Neil," he said. "do they call you Neil because you kneel down a lot?" "No, that's my name," Neil replied. "What's your last name?" asked Uncle Fred. "Crouch." "Neil Crouch?" said Uncle Fred. "Both of your names mean the same thing!" The cue card guy held up a sign that said LAUGH. We all laughed. Uncle Fred looked at my name tag and stuck the mic in my face. "What does A.J. stand for?" he asked. "None of your business," I told him.* "Ooooooooh!" everybody oooooooohed.

“好的答案!”弗雷德叔叔把麦克风对着别的孩子的脸。 “嘿，安德鲁，”他说，“你喜欢吃燕麦片吗？”“不完全是，”他回答。 弗雷德叔叔跑到我们这边的看台上，把麦克风对准了尼尔的脸。 “嘿，尼尔，”他说。“他们叫你尼尔是因为你经常下跪吗？”“不，那是我的名字，”尼尔回答。 “你姓什么？”弗雷德叔叔问。 “克劳奇。”“尼尔·克劳奇？”弗雷德姨父问。 “你们两个名字的意思是一样的！”提示卡的人举着一个牌子，上面写着“笑”。 我们都笑了。弗雷德叔叔看了看我的名牌，把麦克风顶在我脸上。 “A.J.是什么意思？”他问。 “不关你的事，”我告诉他。“哦哦哦！”每个人都发出哦哦哦的声音。

"Is it Alex Jabroni?" he asked. "No." "Is it Alphabet Jam? Is it Asteroid Jawbreaker? Angry Jacuzzi?" "No!" "A.J. stands for Arlo Jervis," said Andrea. Everybody laughed. I wanted to run away to Antarctica and go live with the penguins. I hate Andrea. "Say, who's got a good joke?" asked Uncle Fred.

“是亚历克斯·雅布罗尼吗？”他问。 “没有。”“是字母果酱吗？” 是小行星颚碎器吗？ 愤怒的按摩浴缸吗?”“不!”“A.J. 代表阿罗·杰维斯，”安德里亚说。 每个人都笑了。我想逃到南极洲，和企鹅一起生活。 我讨厌安德里亚。“喂，谁有好笑话？”弗雷德叔叔问。

A bunch of kids raised their hands. Uncle Fred ran over and stuck the mic in some kid's face. "Why did the man throw his clock out the window?" the kid asked. "I give up," said Uncle Fred. "Why did the man throw his clock out the window?" "He wanted to see time fly!" the kid

一群孩子举起了手。 弗雷德叔叔跑过去把麦克风塞到一个孩子脸上。 “为什么那个人把他的钟扔出窗外？”孩子问。 “我放弃了。”弗雷德叔叔说。 “为什么那个人把他的钟扔出窗外？”“他想看时间飞逝！”孩子说

said. That is probably the oldest joke in the book. But Uncle Fred laughed like it was the funniest thing in the history of the world. "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" he cackled. "Get lost, buster!" Uncle Fred threw some confetti in the air and ran over to the side of the stage, where Alexia was trying to open the Magic Treasure Chest. "How are you making out, Alexia?" he asked. "Gross!" she replied. "I'm not making out! I'm trying to open the Magic Treasure Chest." "Keep working at it!" shouted Uncle Fred. Then he sat down in a chair and picked up a book. "Now I'm going to read you a story," Uncle Fred said. "It's called Winnie the Pooh." What?!

说。这可能是书中最古老的笑话了。 但弗雷德叔叔笑得好像这是世界历史上最有趣的事情。 “哈哈——哈哈——哈哈——哈哈！”他咯咯地笑着。 “滚开，小鬼！”弗雷德叔叔向空中扔了一些五彩纸屑，跑到舞台的一边，亚历克西娅正试图打开魔法宝箱。 “你过得怎么样，亚历克西娅？”他问。 “恶心！”她回答。“我没有亲热！”我要打开魔法宝箱。” “继续努力！”弗雷德叔叔喊道。 然后他坐在椅子上，拿起一本书。 “现在我要给你讲个故事。”弗雷德叔叔说。 “它叫《小熊维尼》。” 什么? !
