5 Fancy Nancy and the Boy from Paris

I almost always get to school early. But on Monday I am tardy. (That's a fancy word for late.) I come in and see a new kid. He is standing next to Ms. Glass.

我几乎总是早到学校。 但是周一我迟到了。 （这是“晚到”的高级说法哦。） 我走进教室，看到了一个新来的小孩。 他站在格拉斯老师旁边。

"Robert comes from Paris!" Ms. Glass is telling everyone. "He just moved here." Paris! Paris is a city in France. It is gorgeous. (That is a fancy word for beautiful.)

“罗伯特来自巴黎！” 格拉斯老师正在告诉大家。 “他刚搬到这里。” 巴黎！ 巴黎是法国的一座城市。 那里特别华美。 （这是“好看”的高级说法哦。）

"Bonjour," I say in the book nook. (In French that means "hello.") "I am Nancy. I never met anybody from Paris before." I speak slowly so he will understand. "It's really nice there," Robert says. "I miss it." He has a book on cowboys. He probably wants to learn all about this country.

“Bonjour，”我在读书角说道。 （在法语里这是“你好”的意思。）“我是南希。 我以前从来没见过从巴黎来的人呢。” 我语速很慢，好让他能听懂。 “那里真的特别好，”罗伯特说。 “我很想念那里。” 他拿着一本关于牛仔的书。 他可能很想了解这个国家的一切吧。

"I want to go there someday." I show him my book. It is about a dog in Paris. "Do you like the United States?" "Yes," says Robert. "Don't you?" "Yes, I do," I say. "I've lived here all my life." Then Ms. Glass puts a finger to her mouth. "This is not talking time," she says. "This is reading time."

“我以后想去那里看看。” 我把我的书给他看。 是关于一只住在巴黎的小狗的。 “你喜欢美国吗？” “喜欢呀，”罗伯特说。 “你不喜欢吗？” “我喜欢呀，”我说。 “我从小到大一直住在这里呢。” 这时候格拉斯老师把一根手指放在嘴边。 “现在不是说话时间哦，”她说。 “现在是阅读时间。”

On Tuesday I sit next to Robert at lunch. "Have you ever been to the Eiffel Tower?" I ask him. Robert nods and swallows. "Lots of times. Our house was near it."

周二吃午饭的时候，我坐在罗伯特旁边。 “你去过埃菲尔铁塔吗？” 我问他。 罗伯特点点头，咽下嘴里的食物。 “去过好多次呢。 我们家以前离它很近。”
