6 New Names

CHAPTER 6 New Names The next day, we had a safety expert talk to us at snack time, which meant we didn't get to tell each other our new names until lunch. The five of us sat together, the way we always do. As soon as we got to our table, Lucy said, "You guys, I have the best new name!" "Me too," Talisa said. "Me three," Willa and I said at the same time. "Jinx!" Lucy said, so Willa and I couldn't

第6章 新名字 第二天吃点心时，安全专家来给我们讲话，所以我们得等到午餐才能告诉彼此自己的新名字。 我们五个人像往常一样坐在一起。 我们刚走到座位，露西就说：“伙伴们，我的新名字超棒！” “我也是。”塔莉莎说。 “我也一样！”薇拉和我异口同声说道。 “撞话啦！” 露西这么一说，所以薇拉和我 没法先开口

talk until someone said our names backwards. "Jinx shouldn't count this time because you don't even know their new names," Talisa said. "Fine," Lucy said. "But then I get to say my new name first." I thought I should get to go first, because it was my idea. But I didn't say anything. "Isn't Reese your new name?" Willa asked, since now she was allowed to speak. "Nope, I thought of a better one," Lucy said. "Try and guess it." "Um, I don't know," Willa said. "Skittle?" "No, that's not a name." "How about Joy, like an Almond Joy," Talisa said. "Wrong again," Lucy said. "Arielle and Stella, you should try and guess too." Arielle shook her head. "I can't think of

说话，得等到有人把我们的名字倒着说一遍才行。 “这次撞话不算数，你都还不知道她们的新名字呢。”塔莉莎说。 “好吧。”露西说。 “那得让我第一个说我的新名字。” 我本来觉得我该第一个说，毕竟改名字是我的主意。 但我什么都没说。 “你的新名字不是里斯吗？” 薇拉问道，现在轮到她说话了。 “才不是，我想到了更好的名字。”露西说。 “你们来猜猜看。” “唔，我猜不出来。”薇拉说。 “彩虹糖？” “不对，那不是名字呀。” “叫乔伊怎么样，和杏仁乔伊糖同名。”塔莉莎说。 “又猜错啦。”露西说。 “阿丽埃儿、斯特拉，你们也来猜猜呀。” 阿丽埃儿摇了摇头。 我想不出来

any. You still look like a Lucy to me." "Is it Sara?" I asked. "No, silly, that's not the name of a candy," Lucy said. "This is going to take a really long time," I said. "You should just say it." "Truffle," Lucy said. "That's not a name either," I said. "It is now," Lucy said. "Aren't truffles made from pig snouts?" Willa asked. "Oh, gross," Talisa said. "We have chocolate truffles in our store," I said. "They're made of fudge and things like nougat and toffee and marshmallow." "That's exactly the kind of truffle I am,"

什么好名字。 我觉得你看起来还是叫露西最合适呀。” “是萨拉吗？” 我问道。 “不对啦笨蛋，这不是糖果的名字。”露西说。 “再猜下去要花好长时间哦。”我说。 “你直接告诉我们吧。” “松露。”露西说。 “那也不是名字呀。”我说。 “现在它就是名字啦。”露西说。 “松露不都是猪鼻子找出来的吗？” 薇拉问道。 “哦，好恶心呀。”塔莉莎说。 “我们店里卖巧克力松露糖哦。”我说。 “它们是软糖做的，还加了牛轧糖、太妃糖和棉花糖呢。” “我就是这种松露呀。

Lucy said. "A chocolate truffle. So that's what you should call me." "We should call you "Chocolate Truffle'?" Talisa asked. "It's kind of a long name." "No, I mean just call me Truffle," Lucy said. "What's your nickname?" Willa asked. "I don't have one," Lucy said. "It's just "Truffle," but I don't care about having a nickname." "Knock knock," Talisa said. "Who's there?" we all asked. "Kit," she said. "Kit who?" "Kit Kat," Talisa said.

露西说。 “一颗巧克力松露。 所以你们就叫我这个名字就对啦。” “我们要叫你‘巧克力松露’吗？” 塔莉莎问道。 “这个名字有点长呢。” “不对，我意思是叫我松露就好啦。”露西说。 “那你的昵称是什么？” 薇拉问道。 “我不需要昵称。”露西说。 “名字就是‘松露’，我有没有昵称无所谓。” “咚咚咚。”塔莉莎说。 “谁在敲门？” 我们一起问道。 “奇。”她说。 “什么奇？” “奇巧。”塔莉莎说。

"That's my new name. Isn't it great? Kit Kats are one of my favorite candies and "Kit" can be my nickname." "My new name is Caramel," Willa said. "You can call me Cara for short." "Oh, that's so cool," Talisa said. "You're like me—your nickname is like a real name." So it was just Arielle and me who hadn't said our new names yet. I had wanted to be the first, and now I was almost last. "I'm Scheherazade," I said quickly, or as quickly as you can say that name. Then I felt like kind of a meanie for blurting it out, which

“这就是我的新名字。 是不是超棒？ 奇巧是我最喜欢的糖果之一，而且‘奇’还能当我的昵称呢。” “我的新名字是焦糖。”薇拉说。 “你们可以叫我迦迦，是简称哦。” “哇，这太酷了。”塔莉莎说。 “你和我一样，昵称听起来就像正经名字。” 现在就只剩阿丽埃儿和我还没说新名字了。 我本来想第一个说，结果现在差点变成最后一个。 “我叫山鲁佐德。”我飞快地说，快得就像念普通名字一样。 说完我又觉得自己脱口而出有点讨厌，这
