《教教我们吧，阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚》，佩吉·帕里什 著

The telephone was ringing. "I'm coming, I'm coming, said Amelia Bedelia. She answered the telephone. "Mrs. Rogers!" she said. "Where are you?"

电话铃正响着。 “我来啦，我来啦。”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 她接起了电话。 “罗杰斯太太！” 她说道。 “你在哪儿呀？”

"I'm at the airport in Pinewood," said Mrs. Rogers. "You didn't tell me you were going away," said Amelia Bedelia. "I'm not," said Mrs. Rogers. "I'm meeting the new teacher. But her plane is late." "That's too bad," said Amelia Bedelia. "The telephone at the school is out of order," Mrs. Rogers went on. "Please go to Mr. Carter's office at the school. Tell him what I said." "I'll go right now," said Amelia Bedelia.

“我在松伍德的机场呢。”罗杰斯太太说。 “你都没告诉我你要出门呀。”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “我没要出门。”罗杰斯太太说。 “我是来接新老师的。 可她的飞机晚点了。” “那太糟糕啦。”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “学校的电话坏了。”罗杰斯太太接着说。 “麻烦你去学校卡特先生的办公室一趟。 把我说的话告诉他。” “我现在就去。”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。

Amelia Bedelia got her things. She walked to school. "Where is Mr. Carter's office?" she asked. "That first door," said a child. Amelia Bedelia walked in. "Mrs. Rogers tried to call you," she said. "But your telephone is out of order." "I know," said Mr. Carter. "But thank goodness you're here. The children are going wild. Miss Lane left a list for today. I'll take you to the room." He handed Amelia Bedelia the list.

阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚拿好自己的东西。 她走路去学校。 “请问卡特先生的办公室在哪儿呀？” 她问道。 “头一扇门就是。”一个小朋友说。 阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚走了进去。 “罗杰斯太太本来想打电话给你的，”她说， “可你们的电话坏了。” “我知道。”卡特先生说。 “可谢天谢地你来了。 孩子们都闹翻天了。 莱恩小姐留了一张今天的安排清单。 我带你去教室。” 他把清单递给了阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚。

"Follow me," he said. They went down the hall. Mr. Carter opened a door. Children were all over the place. "All right," said Mr. Carter. "Quiet! This is your new teacher." "Me! Teach!" said Amelia Bedelia. But Mr. Carter was gone.

“跟我来。”他说。 他们沿着走廊往前走。 卡特先生打开了一扇门。 教室里到处都是孩子。 “好了，”卡特先生说， “安静！ 这是你们的新老师。” “我！要我教书！”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚惊呼。 可卡特先生已经走了。
