Chapter 1 Birthday Talk Katie's birthday was coming. "I'm having a party at school!" she told her friends. "I can't wait." "I know how you feel," said JoJo. "Birthdays are the best!"

第一章 生日闲聊 凯蒂的生日快到了。 “我要在学校办派对！” 她跟朋友们说。 “我都等不及啦。” “我懂你的心情，”乔乔说。 “过生日最棒啦！”

"My mom measures me on my birthday," said JoJo. "It's fun to see how much I've grown." Pedro said, "On my birthday, my dad makes me blueberry pancakes. My birthday is in August, so there are plenty of blueberries."

“我妈妈会在我生日那天给我量身高，”乔乔说。 “看看我长了多少可有意思了。” 佩德罗说：“我过生日的时候，爸爸会给我做蓝莓煎饼。 我的生日在八月，所以蓝莓多得很。”

"There is no school in August," said Katie. "So you can't have a party at school." "Nope," said Pedro. "I never do." Chapter 2 The Big Day The sun was shining on Katie's birthday. Her mom and dad gave her a bright red sweater. "Red is my lucky color!" Katie said. "It means my birthday will be perfect."

“八月学校不上课呀，”凯蒂说。 “那你就没法在学校办派对啦。” “对呀，”佩德罗说。 “我从来没在学校办过。” 第二章 重要的日子 凯蒂生日那天，太阳暖洋洋的。 爸爸妈妈送了她一件亮红色的毛衣。 “红色是我的幸运色！” 凯蒂说。 “这说明我的生日肯定会过得特别完美。”

"I made a special treat for your class party," said Katie's mom. "What is it?" asked Katie. "It's a surprise," said her mom. "You'll find out later." When class began, Miss Winkle announced, "Today is Katie's birthday. She will be my POD."

“我给你班上的派对准备了一份特别的小点心，”凯蒂的妈妈说。 “是什么呀？”凯蒂问。 “是个惊喜哦，”妈妈说。 “你晚点就知道啦。” 开始上课的时候，温克尔老师宣布：“今天是凯蒂的生日。 她会成为今天的‘今日之星’。”

"What's a POD?" asked Barry, the new boy. "It means Person of the Day," said Pedro. "Katie can start by leading the Pledge," said Miss Winkle. Katie led the Pledge in a nice, loud voice. Katie was also the line leader at recess. "I wish it was my birthday every day," she said. "Well," said Pedro, "you have 364 unbirthdays. Today is one of mine."

“‘今日之星’是什么呀？”新来的男孩巴里问。 “就是当天的特别人物呀，”佩德罗说。 “凯蒂先来带领大家念誓词吧，”温克尔老师说。 凯蒂用清晰响亮的声音带领大家念完了誓词。 课间休息的时候，凯蒂还是排队的排头呢。 “我真希望每天都过生日呀，”她说。 “哎呀，”佩德罗说，“你有364天是不过生日的。 今天就是我不过生日的日子之一。”
