Monkey Me 猴子男孩 · Monkey me and the new neighbor

uh-oh! Roz!

Chapter 2 uh-oh! Roz! Claudia and I ran to the front of the house next to ours. It had been empty for over two months. But now we were getting new neighbors! I saw a man carry a box out of a large truck. " Welcome to the neighborhood! " I shouted. The man looked at me, confused.

第二章哦哦!罗兹! 克劳迪娅和我跑到我们隔壁的房子前。那房子已经空了两个多月了。 但现在我们有新邻居了! 我看到一个男人从一辆大卡车里搬出一个箱子。“欢迎来到这个社区!”我喊道。 那男人看着我,一脸困惑。

Claudia chuckled. " I'm just a mover, kid, " the man said. " Your new neighbors won't be here until this afternoon. " I watched the man carry the box into the house. " I can't wait to see who's moving in, " I said to Claudia. " Neither can I, " she said. " Maybe it will be a family with a boy to play with, " I said. " Or a girl to play with, " my sister said. " Or a monkey to play with. " I grinned.

克劳迪娅轻声笑了。 “我只是个搬家工人,孩子,”那男人说。“你们的新邻居要到今天下午才会来。” 我看着那男人把箱子搬进房子。“我等不及想看看谁会搬进来,”我对克劳迪娅说。 “我也是,”她说。 “也许那会是一个有男孩的家庭,我们可以一起玩,”我说。 “或者是一个有女孩的家庭,我们可以一起玩,”我姐姐说。 “或者是一个有猴子的家庭,我们可以一起玩。”我咧嘴笑了。

Claudia rolled her eyes. " We'll find out after school. " " Then let's move! " I ran all the way to school and onto the playground. Claudia followed behind me. Sometimes, running makes the day go faster. Sometimes, it gets me in trouble. But it was okay for me to run on the playground. I just had to be careful not to run into anything. Or anybody. Like Principal Murphy! I saw her on the other side of the playground. She looked angry. Like usual. I turned to run the other way, and . . .

克劳迪娅翻了个白眼。“我们放学后就会知道了。” “那我们快走吧!”我一路跑到学校,冲进操场。克劳迪娅跟在我后面。 有时候,跑步能让日子过得快一些。有时候,它会给我惹麻烦。 但在操场上跑步是可以的。我只是必须小心不要跑进任何东西。 或者任何人。 比如墨菲校长! 我在操场的另一边看到了她。她看起来很生气。像往常一样。 我转身往另一个方向跑,然后......

KA-BUMP! Suddenly, I was on my back. “ Ha-ha! Squashed you! " Roz said. I looked up at the class bully. She was standing on her skateboard. " Watch where you're going, little bug! " Roz laughed. " But you ran into me, Roz! " I slowly pushed myself to my feet. Roz laughed harder.

咔嘣! 突然,我仰面朝天。 “哈哈!压扁你了!”罗兹说。 我抬头看着这个班级恶霸。她站在她的滑板上。 “看好你去哪儿,小虫子!"罗兹笑了。 “但是你撞到了我,罗兹!”我慢慢地把自己推起来。 罗兹笑得更大声了。

Claudia glared at her. “ You're not allowed to have a skateboard on the playground! " Roz glared back. " It's against the rules! " Claudia said. " Not if I'm bringing it for show-and-tell! " Roz picked up her skateboard and grinned. " It's super special, isn't it?" It was. But I wasn't going to tell Roz that. " It's okay, " I said. " Ha! " Roz said. “ It's better than anything you have! " " Ha! " I said. I pulled the baseball card from my pocket.

克劳迪娅怒视着她。“你不允许在操场上玩滑板!” 罗兹也怒视回去。 “这是违反规则的!”克劳迪娅说。 “如果我是为了展示和讲述而带来的呢!”罗兹捡起她的滑板,咧嘴一笑。“它非常特别,不是吗?” 确实如此。但我不打算告诉罗兹这一点。“还不错,”我说。 “哈!”罗兹说。“它比你拥有的任何东西都要好!” “哈!”我说。我从口袋里掏出了棒球卡。

Roz grabbed it from my hand and looked at it. “ Clyde Spinner?" she said. " He was a pitcher who could throw a great curveball, " I told her. Roz grinned. " Like this?" She swung her arm back. She threw the card. I watched it soar high into the air. It spun. It curved. My baseball card flew toward the woods next to the playground. Then it disappeared into the thick bushes.

罗兹从我手里抢过卡片,看了看。“克莱德·斯宾纳?”她说。 “他是一个能投出很棒曲线球的投手,”我告诉她。 罗兹咧嘴一笑。“像这样吗?”她把手臂向后一甩。她扔出了卡片。 我看着它高高地飞向空中。它旋转着。它弯曲着。 我的棒球卡飞向操场旁边的树林。 然后它消失在茂密的灌木丛中。
