18 Peanut Butter and Jellyfish

Ooh la la! Our class is at the aquarium. We will see amazing creatures that live in the sea.

哇哦！ 我们班来到了水族馆。 我们要去看生活在海里的神奇生物啦。

First we have lunch in the cafeteria. I open my lunch box. Inside is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, celery sticks with peanut butter, and peanut butter cookies. "The other day, my dad made peanut butter," I tell Clara and Bree. "He made way too much. Pretty soon I am going to turn into a peanut!"

首先我们在自助餐厅吃午饭。 我打开我的饭盒。 里面有花生酱果冻三明治、抹了花生酱的芹菜条，还有花生酱曲奇。 “前几天我爸爸做了花生酱，”我跟克拉拉和布丽说。 “他做的实在太多了。 再过不久我都要变成一颗花生啦！”

Soon it is time to see the exhibits. We see tropical fish in every color you can imagine. We watch sea otters playing and see a dolphin show. There is even a pool with manta rays that we can touch. (They feel like wet sandpaper!)

很快就到参观展区的时间啦。 我们看到了各种你能想到的颜色的热带鱼。 我们看海獭玩耍，还看了海豚表演。 甚至还有一个养着蝠鲼的池子，我们可以摸它们。 （它们摸起来就像湿的砂纸！）

Then we come to a special exhibit. The sign in front says, "The Wonders of Jellyfish." "I don't want to go in," I say. "I detest jellyfish." (Detest is fancy for hate.) Once, at the ocean, I got stung by a jellyfish. "Don't look at them," Bree tells me. "Just shut your eyes and hold on to me."

接着我们来到了一个特别的展区。 前面的牌子写着：“水母的奇妙世界”。 “我不想进去，”我说。 “我讨厌水母。” （“讨厌”是“恨”的高级说法哦。） 有一次在海边，我被水母蜇过。 “别看它们就行，”布丽告诉我。 “闭上眼睛，牵着我就好。”

Bree leads me through the exhibit. Oops! I bump into someone. Oops again! I bump into someone else. Then I hear someone say, "Nancy, is something the matter?" I open my eyes partway. It is Ms. Glass. I explain why I detest jellyfish.

布丽领着我穿过展区。 哎哟！ 我撞到人了。 又哎哟！ 我撞到另一个人了。 然后我听到有人说：“南希，你没事吧？” 我半睁开眼睛。 是格拉斯老师。 我跟她解释了我为什么讨厌水母。
