19 Poison Ivy Expert

Look! I am picking a bouquet of wildflowers. (Bouquet is fancy for a bunch of flowers.)

快看呀！ 我正在摘一束野花呢。 （花束就是一捧花的好听说法哦。）

"Watch out for poison ivy," Mom keeps warning me. "I am! I am!" I say. I know what poison ivy looks like. I know the rhyme. "Leaves of three. Let it be." Why, I am practically a poison ivy expert.

“小心毒藤哦，”妈妈一直提醒我。 “我知道的！ 我知道的！” 我说道。 我知道毒藤长什么样呀。 我还知道相关的小口诀呢。 “三叶长一块， 千万别去碰。” 嗨，我简直就是个毒藤小专家呀。

The next day I bring the bouquet to school. Bree brings cupcakes. Robert brings purple punch. We conceal everything. (Conceal is a fancy word for hide.) We are having a surprise party for Ms. Glass. It is her birthday!

第二天我把这束花带去了学校。 布丽带了纸杯蛋糕。 罗伯特带了紫葡萄潘趣酒。 我们把所有东西都藏好了。 （藏起来就是“隐蔽”的普通说法哦。） 我们要给格拉斯老师办一个惊喜派对。 今天是她的生日呀！

By lunchtime I am so excited about the surprise that I get all itchy. My arms itch. My nose itches. Every inch of me itches! "Nancy, you have red bumps on your face," Bree says. I do? Yes! I do!

到午饭时间的时候，我对这个惊喜太兴奋了，浑身都开始发痒。 我的胳膊痒。 我的鼻子痒。 我全身上下每一处都在痒！ “南希，你脸上起了红疹子哦。”布丽对我说。 真的吗？ 是的！ 真的是这样！

Ms. Glass calls home. Dad picks me up and we go to the doctor. Can you guess what is wrong? Yes! I have poison ivy. It is all my fault! I am not a poison ivy expert after all. And what if my bouquet had poison ivy in it?

格拉斯老师给我家打了电话。 爸爸来接我，我们一起去看了医生。 你能猜到我出什么问题了吗？ 没错！ 我长毒藤疹了。 这全是我的错！ 我根本就不是什么毒藤小专家嘛。 万一我摘的那束花里混了毒藤可怎么办呀？
