《常春藤+豆子注定是坏的》安妮·巴罗斯著

A PAIN IN THE KAZOO Check. Bean's mom was reading the paper. Check. Bean's dad was reading the paper. Check. Nancy was reading the funnies. Bean picked up her plate and licked the streaks of leftover syrup. "Bean's licking her plate," said Nancy. "Stop it, Bean," said Bean's mom without even looking up from the paper. Bean sat on her hands and stared at her plate with her lips shut tight. Then, suddenly, her tongue shot out of her mouth and her head swooped down to her plate. "I can't help it," she said, licking. "There's a magnetic force pulling my tongue out of my mouth." Bean's family looked at her like she was

卡祖笛检查的痛苦。 比恩的妈妈正在看报纸。 检查。比恩的爸爸正在看报纸。 检查。南希正在看滑稽小说。 比恩拿起她的盘子，舔了舔剩下的糖浆。 “豆子在舔她的盘子，”南希说。 “别闹了，比恩。”比恩的妈妈说，头都没抬。 比恩双手叉腰坐着，紧抿着嘴唇盯着盘子。 然后，突然，她的舌头从嘴里伸出来，她的头耷拉到她的盘子上。 “我没办法，”她边舔边说。 “有一股磁力把我的舌头从嘴里拉出来。” 比恩的家人看着她的眼神

a bug. An ugly bug. "That's disgusting," said Nancy. "Bean, please..." said her mother. "Cut it out" said her father., "I can't!" slurped Bean. "The force is too strong!" Her father took her plate away. Bean slumped against the back of her chair. "Thanks, dude. I owe you one." "Don't call me dude" said her dad. "Go, do the dishes." "What?! It's Nancy's turn!" yelped Bean. "It was Nancy's turn until you licked your plate. Now it's your turn," said her

一个错误。一只丑陋的虫子。“太恶心了，”南希说。 “豆子，请……”妈妈说。 “别闹了，”她父亲说。“我不能！” “这力量太强大了！”她父亲把她的盘子拿走了。 比恩瘫倒在椅背上。 “谢谢,伙计。我欠你一个人情。” “别叫我老兄，”她爸爸说。 “去洗碗吧。”“什么? !轮到南希了！”比恩大叫。 “轮到南希了，直到你舔完盘子。” 现在该你了。”她说

dad. "That's totally unfair!" huffed Bean. "I couldn't help it! Haven't you ever heard of forces beyond your control?" "Yes, I have" said her father, "Forces beyond your control are going to make you do the dishes." "What am I, Cinderbean?" Bean said. "What about my rights?" Slowly her dad lowered his newspaper and looked at her. "Think about whether you're making a good choice or a bad choice, Bean". There was a pause. "I guess I'll go do the dishes." Bean clomped into the kitchen. "Bean, you didn't see my pink yarn, did you?" Oops. Bean tried to roll behind the

爸爸。“太不公平了！”比恩生气地说。 “我没办法！”难道你没有听说过你无法控制的力量吗？”“是的，”她父亲说，“你无法控制的力量会让你洗碗。” “我是什么，灰姑娘？”豆说。 “那我的权利呢？”爸爸慢慢放下报纸，看着她。 “想想你是做了个好选择还是坏选择，憨豆” 一阵沉默。“我想我该去洗碗了。” 比恩噔噔地走进厨房。 “豆子，你没看到我的粉色纱线吧？”哦。 比恩试着滚到树后面

couch, but Nancy saw her. "Bean! Do you have my pink yarn?" "No" said Bean. That was true., She didn't have it. She would never have it again. Nancy looked at her, slitty-eyed. "Do you know where it is?" "No." Who knew where it was by now? Nancy's eyes got even slittier. "Have you seen it recently?" "Recently?" "Mom! Bean took my yarn!"

她坐在沙发上，但南希看见了她。“豆!你有我的粉色纱线吗？”“不，”比恩说。 这是真的。她没有。 她再也不会拥有它了。 南希眯着眼睛看着她。 “你知道它在哪儿吗？”“没有。” 现在谁知道它在哪里？ 南希的眼睛变得更细了。 “你最近看过它吗？”“最近?”“妈妈!豆子拿走了我的毛线！”
