第一章 比莉·B·布朗有六支闪闪发亮的笔，手上长了三个水疱，还有一个最好的朋友。 你想知道比莉·B·布朗里的B代表什么吗？ 最棒的。 比莉最好的朋友是杰克。 你知道比莉和杰克做朋友多久了吗？ 从他们还是小宝宝的时候就开始啦。

Now that Billie and Jack are big, they go to school. Every day they walk to school together.

现在比莉和杰克都长大了，他们上学啦。 他们每天都一起走路去上学。

Every day they walk home together. Every day they sit next to each other in class. Today Billie has decided to take her new pens to school. Jack gave Billie the sparkly pens for her birthday. The sparkly pens write in sparkly ink and they smell like fruit. Billie loves her new pens. Billie puts her pens on the desk. She takes out a pink pen and pulls off the lid. Soon the whole classroom smells like strawberries.

他们每天都一起走路回家。 每天在班上他们都坐在彼此旁边。 今天比莉决定把她的新笔带去学校。 这些闪笔是杰克送给比莉的生日礼物。 闪笔写出来的墨水亮晶晶的，闻起来还有水果的香味。 比莉可喜欢她的新笔了。 比莉把笔放在课桌上。 她拿出一支粉色的笔，拔开了笔帽。 很快整个教室都闻起来像草莓味啦。

"Hmm," says Ms Walton, wrinkling up her nose. "Is someone eating?" Everyone in the room stops working and looks around. Billie quickly puts the lid back

“嗯？”沃尔顿老师皱着鼻子说。 “是不是有人在吃东西呀？” 教室里的所有人都停下手里的事，四处张望。 比莉赶紧把笔帽盖了回去

on her pen. She is worried that she might get into trouble. "Billie?" says Ms Walton, frowning. "Have you brought lollies to school?" "No!" says Billie quickly. "It's my sparkly pen." "Oh," says Ms Walton, smiling. "My goodness, it smells strong, doesn't it?" "Can I see?" Ella calls, jumping up from her desk. "Me too!" calls Tracey from her seat next to Ella. "Now, girls," Ms Walton says. "Sit down. You can all look at Billie's pens at lunchtime." Billie feels very proud. She looks at Jack. He smiles at Billie.

盖在笔上。 她担心自己会惹上麻烦。 “比莉？”沃尔顿老师皱着眉开口。 “你是不是带棒棒糖来学校了呀？” “没有！”比莉连忙说道。 “是我的闪笔的味道。” “哦，”沃尔顿老师笑了起来。 “天呀，这味道可真浓，对不对？” “我能看看吗？” 埃拉一边喊，一边从座位上蹦了起来。 “我也要看！” 坐在埃拉旁边的特蕾西也喊道。 “好啦，姑娘们，”沃尔顿老师说。 “坐下吧。 午饭时间你们都可以来看比莉的笔。” 比莉觉得特别骄傲。 她看向杰克。 他正对着比莉笑呢。
