23 The Dazzling Book Report

Monday is my favorite day. Why? Monday is Library Day.

星期一是我最喜欢的日子。 为什么呀？ 星期一是图书馆日。

Before we leave, we select a book. (Select is a fancy word for pick.) It is like getting a present for a week! Bree selects a book on dinosaurs. Robert selects a book of funny poems. Teddy selects a scary story.

离开之前，我们要选一本书。 “选”就是“挑”的好听说法哦。 这就像拿到一份可以存一周的礼物呀！ 布莉选了一本讲恐龙的书。 罗伯特选了一本有趣的诗歌集。 泰迪选了一个吓人的故事。

I select a book about an Indian girl. She has a fancy name, Sacajawea. You say it like this: SACK-uh-jah-WAY-ah. Later Ms. Glass has thrilling news. (Thrilling is even more exciting than exciting.) We get to do a book report!

我选了一本关于一个印第安女孩的书。 她有个很好听的名字，叫萨卡加维亚。 你要这么读：萨-卡-加-维-亚。 过了一会儿，格拉斯老师带来了超棒的消息。 “超棒”就是比“让人开心”还要更开心哦。 我们要做一份读书报告啦！

"Your first book report. How grown up!" my mom says at dinner. "Yes, I know," I say. "My book is a biography. It is about a real person."

“你们的第一份读书报告哎。 真的长大了呀！” 晚饭的时候妈妈对我说。 “嗯，我知道呀，”我说。 “我的书是一本传记哦。 讲的是一个真实存在的人的故事。”

After dinner I read my book. Dad helps with the hard words. I learn all about Sacajawea. Sacajawea was a princess. She lived two hundred years ago out West. She helped two explorers reach the Pacific Ocean.

晚饭后我读了我的书。 遇到难读的词爸爸会帮我。 我知道了萨卡加维亚的所有故事。 萨卡加维亚是一位公主。 两百年前，她住在遥远的西部。 她帮助两位探险家走到了太平洋。
