新星球，新学校。 作者：凯伦·莫克勒 绘者：雷金纳德·W·巴特勒

I had a lot of friends back in my old school, on my old planet. When the school year ended, though, my family moved across the galaxy to planet Zox.

我原来住的星球上，老学校里有好多好朋友。 可学年结束的时候，我们一家横穿银河系，搬到了佐克斯星球。

Planet Zox has species from so many different planets, just walking down the street can be an adventure. So can going to the grocery store.

佐克斯星球上住着来自好多不同星球的物种， 光是走在街上都像一场冒险。 去杂货店买东西也是一样。

Actually, I sort of liked my new planet until it was time to start school. I won't fit in, I complained to my parents that first morning. Nobody there will be like me. They don't have to be like you in order to like you, mom said. It took me a minute to sort out that sentence.

说实话，在要开学之前，我还挺喜欢这个新星球的。 开学第一天早上，我跟爸妈抱怨说我肯定融入不了。 那儿没有人和我是一类的。 妈妈说：他们不需要和你一样，也会喜欢你的呀。 我愣了好一会儿才弄懂这句话的意思。

Once I got to school, I kept my eye out for other humans.

我一到学校，就到处找其他人类。

I spotted a few in the halls, but the only one in my class is Swiss Pumpernickel. When I walked in that first day, some of the students started to tease him.

我在走廊里看到了几个， 可我班里只有一个人类，叫斯维斯·庞珀尼克。 我第一天走进教室的时候， 有几个学生开始取笑他。
