Chapter 1 Counting Hearts It was a cold gray day, but Katie was happy. It was Valentine's Day! At school, Miss Winkle said, "Let's start the day with a valentine math puzzle."

第一章 数爱心 天灰蒙蒙的，冷飕飕的，可凯蒂却开心得很。 今天是情人节呀！ 在学校里，温克尔老师说：“咱们先来玩个情人节数学小谜题，开启今天的活动吧。”

"Take out your crayons, and draw a big heart. Then try to guess how many candy hearts will fit inside of it." Katie drew a big red heart. Then she looked at the tiny candy hearts. One said, "Puppy Love." Another said, "Melt My Heart."

“拿出你们的蜡笔，画一颗大大的爱心。 然后猜一猜，里面能放多少颗爱心糖果。” 凯蒂画了一颗红红的大爱心。 接着她看向那些小小的爱心糖果。 一颗上面写着：“青涩爱恋”。 另一颗写着：“融化我心”。

"I think this heart will hold twelve candies," Katie decided. But when she filled up the heart, it held twenty. "Boy, did I guess wrong!" Katie said. "I love these tiny hearts," she said, smiling. She couldn't stop reading them. She read "Cloud Nine" and "Soul Mate."

“我觉得这颗爱心能放下12颗糖果。”凯蒂笃定地说。 可等她把爱心装满，一共放了20颗。 “天呐，我猜得也太不准啦！” 凯蒂说。 “我好喜欢这些小爱心呀。”她笑着说。 她忍不住一直读上面的字。 她读出了“喜上云霄”和“灵魂挚友”。

Miss Winkle said, "Now print your name on a piece of paper, and put it in the valentine box." Then the class went out for recess. Chapter 2 Making Valentines When they came back, Miss Winkle said, "Now the real fun starts!"

温克尔老师说：“现在把你们的名字写在纸上，放进情人节盒子里。” 然后全班同学就去外面课间休息了。 第二章 做情人节贺卡 大家回来后，温克尔老师说：“现在真正有趣的环节要开始啦！”

"Take out a piece of paper from the valentine box. You will make a valentine for the person that you pick," said Miss Winkle. Katie picked Barry, the new boy. As Katie began painting, Miss Winkle said, "Each valentine should say something nice about the person."

“从情人节盒子里抽一张纸。 你们要给抽到的这个人做一张情人节贺卡。”温克尔老师说。 凯蒂抽到了巴里，那个新来的男生。 凯蒂刚开始涂画，温克尔老师就说：“每张贺卡上都要写一句对方的优点哦。”
