5. The Video Game Players Club

5 The Video Game Players Club I signed up for the Video Game Players Club because I thought it would be cool to play video games at school. When I showed up for the club the next day, there was a sign on the door that said the club would meet at the playground. I figured we would be playing video games outside. I didn't care where we did it, as long as I got

我报名参加了电子游戏玩家俱乐部，因为我觉得在学校玩电子游戏会很酷。 第二天，当我去俱乐部的时候，门上有一个牌子，上面写着俱乐部将在操场集合。 我以为我们会在外面玩电子游戏。 我不在乎在哪里做，只要我

to play video games. When I got to the playground, Mrs. Marge was there. So were all my classmates and some other kids too. "Welcome to the Cloud Watching Club," she announced.* "Huh?" I said. "I thought this was the Video Game Players Club." "I thought it was the Frisbee Club," said Neil. "I thought it was the Guitar Club," said Alexia. "I thought it was the Bunny Rabbit Lovers Club," said Andrea. "Me too," said Emily. "Too many kids signed up for all those clubs," Mrs. Marge explained. "So I started the Cloud Watching Club to handle the overflow." "But I want to throw Frisbees," complained Neil. "Why would anybody want to throw a Frisbee when they could be watching

玩电子游戏。当我到达操场时，玛姬太太在那里。 我所有的同学和其他一些孩子也一样。 “欢迎加入观云俱乐部，”她宣布。*“嗯?”我说。 “我以为这是电子游戏玩家俱乐部。” “我以为是飞碟俱乐部，”尼尔说。 “我还以为是吉他俱乐部呢，”亚历克西娅说。 “我以为是兔子爱好者俱乐部，”安德里亚说。 “我也是，”爱米丽说。“太多的孩子报名参加那些俱乐部了，”玛姬太太解释说。 “所以我成立了观云俱乐部来处理泛滥的云。” “但我想扔飞盘，”尼尔抱怨道。 “为什么有人想在可以观看比赛的时候扔飞盘呢？

clouds?" asked Mrs. Marge. A bunch of blankets were spread out on the grass. Mrs. Marge told us all to lie on our backs and look up at the sky. We were all grumbling, but we did what she told us to do. "See the lovely clouds floating overhead?" Mrs. Marge said. "What do they look like to you?"

云？”玛姬太太问。 草地上铺着一堆毯子。 玛姬太太叫我们都仰面躺着，仰望天空。 我们都在抱怨，但我们还是照她说的做了。 “看到头顶上飘着可爱的云了吗？”玛姬太太说。 “你觉得它们像什么？”

他们看起来像一堆云

me. What a snoozefest. "Ooooh," oohed Andrea. "That cloud over there looks like a giant bunny rabbit floating in the sky!" "You're right, Andrea!" said Emily, who always thinks Andrea is right. "Nah," said Ryan. "I think it looks like a giraffe." "It looks nothing like a giraffe," insisted Andrea. "I think it looks like a big shoe," said Alexia. "I think it looks like a toilet bowl," said Neil. I looked up at the cloud Andrea was talking about. It didn't look like a bunny or a giraffe or a big shoe or a toilet bowl. It just looked like a cloud! That's it! "That cloud over there looks like a big guitar floating in the sky," Alexia said as she pointed at a cloud. I didn't see it. "And that cloud looks like a Frisbee," said Neil.

我。真是个懒虫。“噢，”安德里亚叫了一声。 “那边的云看起来像一只巨大的小兔子漂浮在天空！”“你说得对，安德里亚！”艾米丽说，她一直认为安德里亚是对的。 “不，”瑞恩说。“我觉得它看起来像长颈鹿。” “它看起来一点也不像长颈鹿，”安德里亚坚持说。 “我觉得它看起来像一只大鞋子，”亚历克西娅说。 “我觉得它看起来像个马桶，”尼尔说。 我抬头看着安德里亚说的云。 它看起来既不像一只兔子，也不像一只长颈鹿，也不像一只大鞋子，也不像一个马桶。 它看起来就像一朵云！这是它!“那边的云看起来就像漂浮在天空中的一把大吉他，”亚历克西娅指着一朵云说。 我没看到。“那朵云看起来像飞盘，”尼尔说。

It did not. It didn't look anything like a Frisbee. None of the clouds looked like anything but clouds! It was ridorkulous. I couldn't take it anymore. "Look at that one," I shouted. "That cloud over there looks like the evil Ganon from The Legend of Zelda video game. He was sent to Earth to wipe out all the humans." "Stop trying to scare Emily," warned Andrea.

但事实并非如此。它看起来一点也不像飞盘。 所有的云看起来都像云！这太荒谬了。 我再也受不了了。 “看那只，”我喊道。 “那边的云看起来像《塞尔达传说》电子游戏中的邪恶的伽农。 他被派到地球来消灭所有的人类。” “别吓唬艾米丽了，”安德里亚警告说。
