Time to Move!

Chapter 7 Time to Move! I was human! Again! I quickly looked out my bedroom window. Yikes!

第七章该搬家了! 我又变成了人类! 我迅速看向我卧室的窗外。 哎呀!

My nightmare was real! Principal Murphy's car was in the driveway of the house next to mine. She was my new neighbor! I heard a knock on my bedroom door. " I'll be right there, " I said. I quickly dressed. " Clyde?" It was Claudia's voice. I opened the door. " Didn't you hear Mom calling us?" my sister asked. " No, " I said. Claudia looked at my face. " Are you okay, Clyde?" " Yes. I mean, no. I mean . . . we have to move! " I yelled. " Principal Murphy is our new neighbor! "

我的噩梦成真了!墨菲校长的车停在我隔壁房子的车道上。 她是我的新邻居! 我听到卧室门上有人敲门。 “我马上就来，”我说。我迅速穿好衣服。 “克莱德?”是我姐姐克劳迪娅的声音。 我打开了门。 “你没听见妈妈叫我们吗?”我姐姐问。 “没有，”我说。 克劳迪娅看着我的脸。“你还好吗，克莱德?” “是的。我的意思是，不是。我的意思是…我们必须搬家!”我喊道。“墨菲校长是我们的新邻居!”

Claudia and I looked out my window. " I thought she lived at school, " I said. " Or in a cave. " My sister chuckled. We saw the principal's car. But not Principal Murphy. " Why did she have to move into our neighborhood?" I asked. " Our neighborhood is a nice place to live, Claudia said. " You mean, it was a nice place to live, " I said. " Having Principal Murphy as a neighbor might not be so bad. " Claudia tugged on my arm. " Come on, Clyde! "

克劳迪娅和我看着窗外。 “我以为她住在学校，”我说。“或者住在一个洞穴里。” 我姐姐轻声笑了。 我们看到了校长的车。但没有看到墨菲校长。 “她为什么非要搬到我们社区来?”我问。 “我们社区是个居住的好地方，”克劳迪娅说。 “你的意思是，曾经是个居住的好地方，”我说。 “有墨菲校长作为邻居可能没那么糟糕。”克劳迪娅拉了拉我的胳膊。“来吧，克莱德!”

I followed my sister down the steps. But I couldn't stop worrying. Having Principal Murphy as a neighbor was going to be horrible! It was all I could think about -until I smelled the freshly baked cookies! YUM! I raced into the kitchen. Being a monkey had made me hungry.

我跟着姐姐下了楼。 但我无法停止担忧。 有墨菲校长作为邻居将会是一场灾难! 这是我唯一能想到的事情一直到我闻到了新鲜出炉的饼干的香味! 好吃! 我冲进了厨房。 当猴子让我感到饿了。

" I thought you two might need a break from doing homework, " Mom said. " We do! " I leaned toward the plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table. " Good! " Mom said. I reached for a cookie. Mom pushed my hand away. " Because I'd like you to take these cookies to our new neighbor. "

“我以为你们俩可能需要从做作业中休息一下，”妈妈说。 “我们确实需要!”我向桌上的巧克力碎片饼干倾斜。 “很好!”妈妈说。 我伸手去拿一块饼干。 妈妈推开了我的手。“因为我想让你把这些饼干送给我们的新邻居。”
