7 Tappettytaptap!

TAPPETTYTAPTAP! That night, Nancy talked about her routine. A lot. "But what is it?" Bean asked. "You know. A dance. To a song. Like a music video," said Nancy. "Hello? I'm not allowed to watch music videos," said Bean. Nancy rolled her eyes. "Okay," she said. "I'll show you." She hopped up from her chair and twirled around. "And then we go like this." She walked sideways, to the right, to the left. "Then, watch this." She swung her hands up in the air and looked at them. "That's the best part," she said.

TAPPETTYTAPTAP !那天晚上，南希谈起了她的日常生活。 很多。“那是什么呢？”豆问道。 “你知道的。一个舞蹈。跟着一首歌。 就像音乐录影带一样。”南希说。 “喂?我不能看音乐视频，”比恩说。 南希翻了个白眼。“好吧，”她说。 “我指给你看。”她从椅子上跳起来，转了个圈。 “然后我们就这样走。” 她侧身走着，向右走，向左走。 “那么，看看这个。”她在空中挥舞着双手，看着他们。 “这是最好的部分，”她说。

Bean wondered how that could be the best part. "Is that it?" she asked. "Yeah," said Nancy. It was the most boring dance Bean had ever seen, but she didn't say that. "Great," she said.

比恩想知道这怎么可能是最好的部分。 “是吗？”她问。“是的，”南希说。 这是比恩见过的最无聊的舞蹈，但她没有这么说。 “太好了，”她说。

"That was really great." "Thanks!" said Nancy. "Isn't the arm part good?" "Yeah," said Bean, trying to sound enthusiastic. "Really good arm part. So—did you do anything else in camp today, anything besides the routine?" "First we had to decide what to wear for the routine…" Bean stopped listening. Dance. She could do a dance, and her dance wouldn't be boring. Her dance would be good. She had everything she needed for a good dance, right in her basement. There were many interesting things in Bean's basement, and one of them was a metal washtub. Bean's mom had bobbed for apples in it when she was a kid. It was big, but it wasn't so big that Bean couldn't carry it. And that was good, because the next morning, she carried it all the way to Monkey Park. Harlan and Franny were already there.

“那真的很棒。”“谢谢！”南希说。 “胳膊部分不好吗？”“是啊，”比恩说，努力让自己听起来充满热情。 “真的很好的手臂部位。那么，你今天在营地还做了什么别的事情吗，除了例行公事之外？”“首先我们得决定表演时穿什么……”比恩不听了。 跳舞。她会跳舞，而且她的舞不会无聊。 她的舞跳得不错。在她的地下室里，她拥有一场精彩舞蹈所需要的一切。 比恩的地下室里有许多有趣的东西，其中之一是一个金属洗手盆。 比恩的妈妈小时候曾在里面捡过苹果。 它很大，但还没有大到比恩拿不动的程度。 这很好，因为第二天早上，她一路带着它去了猴子公园。 哈兰和弗兰尼已经在那儿了。

"What's that?" Harlan yelled. Bean plunked down the tub. "What are you doing here this early?" "Aunt Eartha kicked us out," said Harlan. "Harlan told her about Komodo dragons, and she got all mad," said Franny. "I think it was the poop," explained Harlan.

“那是什么?”哈伦喊道。 比恩砰的一声摔下了浴缸。 “你这么早来干什么？”“艾萨姨妈把我们赶了出去。”哈兰说。 “哈兰告诉她关于科莫多巨蜥的事，她非常生气，”弗兰妮说。 “我想是因为便便，”哈兰解释说。

Juanito poked his head out of the tent. "Hi." "Hey, what are you doing here?" asked Bean. "Hiding from Coach," said Juanito. "Are we going to do that dragon thing again?" "No," said Bean. "Today is something different. We'll start as soon as Ivy gets here." Ivy came, and Leo, too. "Today, campers," said Bean, "we will be learning to dance." "Ew," said Leo. "No way." "I'm outta here," said Juanito. He started walking away. Bean held out her hand. "Thumbtacks, please, Counselor Ivy." Leo and Juanito stopped walking. Thumbtacks? "Now. First, you have to have really thick- bottomed shoes." Bean checked her campers' shoes. "Excellent. Second, you stick six thumbtacks in the bottom of each shoe. I will demonstrate." Bean felt just like her teacher, Ms. Aruba-Tate, as she bent down and stuck six thumbtacks into the bottom of each shoe. "And

胡安尼托从帐篷里探出头来。 “嗨。”“嘿，你在这里做什么？”比恩问。 “躲着教练。”胡安尼托说。 “我们还要玩龙的把戏吗？”“不，”比恩说。 “今天的情况有所不同。 艾薇一到我们就开始。” 艾薇来了，里奥也来了。“今天，营员们，”比恩说，“我们将学习跳舞。” “呃，”里奥说。“没有办法”。“我要走了。”胡安尼托说。 他开始走开。比恩伸出她的手。 “请给我图钉，艾薇律师。” 利奥和胡安尼托停下了脚步。 图钉吗?“现在。首先，你必须有真正厚底的鞋子。” 比恩检查了她的露营者的鞋子。 “太好了。其次，你在每只鞋的底部粘上六个图钉。 我来示范一下。”比恩觉得自己就像她的老师。 阿鲁巴-塔特说着，她弯下腰，在每只鞋的底部插了六个图钉。 ”,

now, we dance," she said. Harlan and Franny clapped. Leo and Juanito moved a little closer. Bean bowed and stepped onto the top of the tub. She tapped one foot. Then the other. Good noise. She tappety-tapped. Tappety-tap, tap, tap, ataptaptaptaptapTAPTAPTAPTAP! The noise was nice and loud. TAPPETYTAPPETYTAPPETYARAPTAPTAP! The noise was astounding. Leo and Juanito came back. "Isn't this great?" yelled Bean over her tapping.

现在，我们跳舞，”她说。哈兰和弗兰尼鼓掌。 里奥和胡安尼托靠得更近了。 比恩鞠了一躬，走上了浴盆的顶部。 她敲了敲一只脚。然后是另一个。 良好的噪音。她tappety-tapped。 哒哒哒，哒哒哒，哒哒哒，哒哒哒！那声音又好又响。 TAPPETYTAPPETYTAPPETYARAPTAPTAP !那声音令人震惊。 里奥和胡安尼托回来了。 “太棒了，不是吗？”比恩在她的敲击声中喊道。
