Superstar

Chapter 8 Superstar I woke up the next morning a little confused. Did I really turn into a monkey the day before? Or was it just a dream? I wasn't sure. But I put shorts on under my long pants. Just in case it happened again.

第八章超级巨星 第二天早上我醒来时有点困惑。 我真的在前一天变成了猴子吗?还是那只是个梦? 我不确定。 但我还是在长裤下面穿上了短裤。以防万一再次发生。

I stuck my Golden Monkey in my pocket. I thought it might bring me luck. I put an extra apple in my lunch bag to give to Miss Plum. “ I want her to like me, " I told Claudia as we walked to school. " Then behave! " Claudia said. We stepped onto the school playground. “ I'll try, " I said. The bell rang and I dashed toward the school building. “ Slow down, Clyde! " Claudia yelled. I was already racing up the steps. I ran down the hall, into my classroom, and . . .

我把金猴子放进口袋里。我觉得它可能会给我带来好运。 我在午餐袋里多放了一个苹果，打算给普卢姆小姐。“我想让她喜欢我，”我边走边告诉克 劳迪娅去学校的路上。 “那就表现得好一点!”克劳迪娅说。 我们走进了学校操场。“我会尽力的，”我说。铃声响起，我冲向学校大楼。 “慢点，克莱德!”克劳迪娅喊道。 我已经在跑上台阶了。我跑过走廊，进入教室，然后.….…

. . . into Miss Plum! “ Clyde! " she yelled. " Sorry about that, " I said. My teacher helped me up. " Am I in trouble?" I asked. My teacher nodded. I set the apple on her desk.

撞上了普卢姆小姐! “克莱德!”她喊道。 “对此我很抱歉，”我说。 我的老师帮我站了起来。 “我有麻烦了吗?”我问。 我的老师点了点头。 我把苹果放在了她的桌子上。

" You seem to always have lots of extra energy, Clyde, " Miss Plum said. " And you must learn to use it to do something good. " " Like be a superhero?" I grinned. Miss Plum rolled her eyes. Then she pointed to the small bulletin board. " I need someone to decorate this board, " she said. “ Someone who likes art. " " I'll do it! " I said.

“你似乎总是有很多多余的精力，克莱德，”普卢姆小姐说。“你必须学会用它来做点好 事。” “比如成为一个超级英雄?“我咧嘴笑。 普卢姆小姐翻了个白眼。然后她指向了那个小公告板。 “我需要有人来装饰这个板子，”她说。“一个喜欢艺术的人。” “我来吧!”我说。

I think Miss Plum was trying to keep me busy and out of trouble. And it worked! She wanted a springtime design. So during the early morning, I cut flowers out of colored paper. I tacked them to the bulletin board. And some green paper grass. And a big yellow sun. And a bird in the sky. “ Class, " Miss Plum said when I finished, “ let's thank Clyde for his good work. "

我觉得普卢姆小姐是想让我忙起来，远离麻烦。而且这招奏效了! 她想要一个春天的设计。所以在清晨，我剪出了彩色纸花。 我把它们钉在公告板上。还有一些绿色的纸草。还有一个大黄色的太阳。还有天空中的一 只鸟。 “同学们，”我完成后普卢姆小姐说，“让我们感谢克莱德的辛勤工作。”

Then everyone clapped. For me. Like I was a hero. And I bounced. “ Calm down, Clyde! " Claudia said. “ But I feel super! " I said. Then my head started spinning. My heart raced. Faster. And faster. I sneezed. " A-CHOO! " I jumped up from my chair and ran into the hallway.

然后大家都鼓掌了。 为我鼓掌。 就像我是个英雄一样。 我蹦了起来。 “冷静点，克莱德!”克劳迪娅说。 “但我感觉自己棒极了!”我说。 然后我的头开始晕眩。我的心越跳越快，越来越快。 我打了个喷嚏。“阿嚏!” 我从椅子上跳起来，跑进了走廊。
