15 It's Backward Day!

Today all the kids walk into school like this.

今天所有小朋友都这样走进学校。

"Good-bye," we say to Ms. Glass. "Good-bye," Ms. Glass says to us.

“再见啦。”我们对格拉斯老师说。 “再见啦。”格拉斯老师对我们说。

Then we all sit down. Nobody faces Ms. Glass. Why is everything topsy-turvy? (That's fancy for upside down and super silly.) It's Backward Day! Look what the kids are wearing.

然后我们都坐了下来。 没有人面对着格拉斯老师。 为什么所有东西都乱七八糟的呀？ （这是形容东西倒过来、特别傻的 fancy 说法哦。） 今天是颠倒日呀！ 快看小朋友们都穿了什么。

Lionel has on sunglasses and a tie. Robert has on a tie and jacket. Clara's hair is in a French braid. Ooh la la! It looks fancy and backward. Bree and I have on purple hoodies. We wear socks on our hands. So does Ms. Glass. She also wears a tutu for a hat. I adore my topsy-turvy teacher.

莱昂内尔戴了墨镜，还系了领带。 罗伯特系了领带，还穿了外套。 克拉拉的头发编了法式辫子。 哦啦啦！ 看起来既精致又颠倒。 布里和我穿了紫色连帽衫。 我们把袜子套在了手上。 格拉斯老师也这么穿哦。 她还把芭蕾裙戴在头上当帽子。 我太喜欢我这个古灵精怪的老师啦。

First we all say the alphabet. We have to start with z, y, x. "This is easy," Lionel says. He means that it's hard! Next Ms. Glass reads us a story. She starts on the last page! "I don't like Backward Day at all," Lionel says. He means he likes it a lot.

首先我们一起念字母表。 我们得从z、y、x开始念。“这太简单啦。”莱昂内尔说。 他的意思其实是这很难！ 接下来格拉斯老师给我们读故事。 她居然从最后一页开始读！ “我一点都不喜欢颠倒日。”莱昂内尔说。 他的意思其实是他超喜欢颠倒日。
