14 Amelia Bedelia, Rocket Scientist

"This is incredible," said Mr. Rogers. "Who is the rocket scientist who put my glasses in the dishwasher?" "I am," said Amelia Bedelia. "Thank you for promoting me. You told me to wash all of the glasses."

“这也太不可思议了。”罗杰斯先生说。 “是哪个火箭科学家把我的眼镜放进洗碗机里的？” “是我呀。”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “谢谢您提拔我。 您之前告诉我要把所有的杯子/眼镜都洗干净的。”

"Wait just a minute," said Mr. Rogers. "Reading glasses are different." "Sorry," said Amelia Bedelia, "I cannot wait a second. Miss Edwards, the science teacher, needs my help at the science fair." "Science?" said Mr. Rogers. "You don't know anything about science." Amelia Bedelia was too far away to hear. "Wait," he called out. "You forgot your—"

“你等一下。”罗杰斯先生说。 “老花镜不一样的。” “抱歉呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说，“我连一秒都等不了啦。 科学老师爱德华兹小姐在科学展上还等着我帮忙呢。” “科学？”罗杰斯先生说。 “你对科学可是一窍不通啊。” 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚已经走得太远，听不到他说的话了。 “等等！”他大声喊道。 “你忘了你的——”

Amelia Bedelia arrived at the school. "Mr. Rogers is so thoughtful," she said to herself. "He promoted me from housekeeper to rocket scientist just in time for the science fair." "Wow," said Amelia Bedelia. "Look at all these amazing projects. Miss Edwards make science such fun."

阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚来到了学校。 “罗杰斯先生可太贴心啦。”她心里嘀咕着。 “刚好赶在科学展之前，他把我从管家提拔成火箭科学家啦。” “哇！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚惊呼道。 “看看这些超棒的作品呀。 爱德华兹小姐把科学变得可有意思了。”

"Hi, Miss Edwards," said Amelia Bedelia. "Happy science fair." "Same to you," said Miss Edwards. "I'm so glad you volunteered to help." "Sorry I am late," said Amelia Bedelia. "Mr. Rogers called my work incredible, and then he promoted me." "Congratulations," said Miss Edwards. "I just got here, too. I was in a make-up test." "You should get an A," said Amelia Bedelia. "Your lipstick looks great."

“嗨，爱德华兹小姐。”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚打招呼道。 “祝你科学展愉快呀。” “也祝你愉快。”爱德华兹小姐说。 “你能来 volunteer 帮忙，我可太开心了。” “对不起我迟到啦。”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “罗杰斯先生说我的工作做得特别棒，还提拔我了呢。” “恭喜你呀。”爱德华兹小姐说。 “我也刚到没多久。 我刚才去补考了。” “你肯定能得A的！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你的口红涂得可好看了。”

"It was not for me," said Miss Edwards. "The make-up test was for my students." "Are you kidding?" said Amelia Bedelia. "These children are way too young to wear makeup." "I agree," said Miss Edwards. "The only things they had to make up were the answers." "What a big kid!" said Amelia Bedelia. "He is a judge," said Miss Edwards. "A judge?" said Amelia Bedelia. "Shouldn't he be in court?" "Not quite," said Miss Edwards. "He is judging our science fair. He is a famous scientist. I invited him from the university."

“不是我要补考啦。”爱德华兹小姐说。 “补考是给我的学生安排的。” “你开玩笑的吧？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “这些小朋友也太小了，还不能化妆呢。” “我同意。”爱德华兹小姐说。 “他们需要补的只有考试的答案呀。” “这个小朋友个子可真大呀！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “他是评委。”爱德华兹小姐解释道。 “评委？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚疑惑地说。 “他难道不应该在法院里待着吗？” “不是啦。”爱德华兹小姐说。 “他是来给咱们科学展当评委的。 他是位非常有名的科学家。 我特意把他从大学里邀请过来的。”
