Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Front-Page Layout front-page layout (n) the way in which text and pictures are arranged on the front page of a newspaper so that all the space is used and the headlines catch the reader's attention Jessie knew in her heart that today was going to be a great day. She closed her closet door and picked up her backpack from beside her bed. Then she grabbed the grocery bag that held twenty-eight copies of The 4-O Forum. She had gotten up early this morning to finish printing and folding them. They were ready to go! She reached in the bag and pulled out one of the copies of the paper. She held it up so she could admire the front page. It was perfect! The

首页布局（名词）报纸头版上文字和图片的排列方式，这样所有的空间都被利用了，标题抓住了读者的注意力。杰西心里知道，今天将是美好的一天。 她关上衣柜的门，从床边拿起背包。 然后她抓起杂货袋，里面装着28份《4- 0论坛》。 她今天早上起得很早，完成了印刷和折叠。 他们准备出发了！她把手伸进包里，拿出一份报纸。 她把它举了起来，好欣赏一下头版。 太完美了！的

headline was a grabber, the columns of type were neat and straight, and the whole page was filled, which was really important because there should never be empty space in a real newspaper. That had been tricky. Yesterday, when she'd finished laying out the front-page article, including all her terrific pie charts, she'd still had a box of empty space to fill. It wasn't all that big, just about three inches in the last column, but Jessie knew she couldn't leave it empty. What could she fill it with? Then she'd had a brilliant idea. She would put Evan's poem in that space. It fit perfectly! And she could just imagine how thrilled he would be to have his writing published in a newspaper. For everyone to see. He would probably shout with excitement. She decided to make it a surprise. Then she turned the paper over and looked at the back page. She had written the double article about the candy heart mystery and the secret on

标题很吸引人，字体栏很整齐，整页都填满了，这一点非常重要，因为真正的报纸上不应该有空白。 这很棘手。昨天，当她完成了头版的文章，包括她所有的出色的饼状图，她还有一盒空白的地方要填。 它并没有那么大，在最后一栏只有大约三英寸，但杰西知道她不能让它空着。 她可以用什么填满它呢？ 然后她想到了一个绝妙的主意。 她会把埃文的诗放在那个地方。 非常合身！她可以想象，如果他的作品在报纸上发表，他会有多么激动。 让每个人都看到。他可能会兴奋地大叫。 她决定给他一个惊喜。 然后她把纸翻过来，看了看最后一页。 她写了两篇关于糖果心之谜和秘密的文章

the bathroom wall just like a chapter from an Encyclopedia Brown book. The reader could solve the mystery because all the clues were sprinkled throughout the newspaper in pictures and articles. But you had to go to the back page of the newspaper to find the answer. Jessie couldn't help smiling when she saw the answer printed in a framed rectangle on the back page. It was a masterpiece! "Jessie, did you strip your bed like I asked?" called Mrs. Treski from downstairs. Monday was laundry day in the Treski household, and each child was responsible for taking the sheets off the bed and bringing them down to the laundry room. "I don't have time!" shouted Jessie, not wanting to wait even one more minute to get to school with her blockbuster newspaper. "You have plenty of time. Do it now, Missy Miss!" There was no point in arguing with her

浴室的墙壁就像布朗百科全书中的一章。 读者可以解开这个谜团，因为所有的线索都散布在报纸上的图片和文章中。 但是你必须翻到报纸的最后一页才能找到答案。 当杰西看到答案印在最后一页的矩形框里时，她忍不住笑了。 这是一部杰作！“杰西，你照我说的把你的床拆掉了吗？”特雷斯基太太在楼下喊道。 周一是特雷斯基家的洗衣日，每个孩子都要负责把床单从床上拿下来，送到楼下的洗衣房。 “我没时间了！”杰西喊道，她甚至一分钟也不想再等着拿着她那份轰动一时的报纸去学校了。 “你有足够的时间。现在就动手，小姐！”和她争论没有意义

mother. Especially about laundry. She put down the grocery bag and dropped her backpack to the floor. Then she pulled the bed away from the wall so she could take off the blanket and sheets. Something fell to the floor. Jessie peered down into the space between the bed and the wall. There was a folded-up piece of paper on the floor. With a sinking heart, Jessie reached down and picked it up. It was the twenty-seventh survey, the one she hadn't been able to find on Thursday! Jessie sat down hard on the bed. The image of Langston shouting NUMERATOR ON TOP, DENOMINATOR ON BOTTOM! jumped into her mind. She had used a denominator of twenty-six for all her calculations, but now the correct number was twenty-seven! That meant that every statistic in her front-page story was wrong. The whole article was a mistake! And there wasn't time to fix it before school. Everything was ruined.

妈妈。尤其是洗衣服。 她放下购物袋，把背包掉在地上。 然后她把床从墙上拉开，这样她就可以把毯子和床单取下来了。 有东西掉到了地板上。 杰西凝视着床和墙之间的空隙。 地板上有一张折叠起来的纸。 杰西怀着一颗沉甸甸的心，伸手把它捡了起来。 这是第二十七份调查报告，星期四她没能找到的那份！杰西重重地坐在床上。 朗斯顿大喊分子在上，分母在下！突然出现在她脑海里。 她在所有的计算中都使用了26的分母，但现在正确的数字是27 ！这意味着她在头版报道中的每一个数据都是错误的。 整篇文章都是一个错误！上学前没时间把它修好。 一切都毁了。

Who did this? she wanted to scream, shaking the piece of paper as if it were somehow at fault. She knew that no one was to blame, but still she wanted to be angry at someone. Quickly she looked at the survey to see if she could tell whose it was.

这是谁干的？她想尖叫，一边抖动着那张纸，好像它有什么问题似的。 她知道没有人应该受到责备，但她还是想生某人的气。 她迅速地看了看调查报告，看能否分辨出那是谁的。
