小屁孩日記

星期二Tuesday

據我所知，露比是學校唯一一個被勒令休學過的女生，原因是她咬老師。事實上，露比之所以只有一顆門牙，是因為另一顆嵌在了安德伍德老師的胳膊里。As far as I know,Ruby is the only girl who has ever been suspended from our school,and

that was for biting a teacher.In fact,the reason Ruby only has one front tooth is because the other one ended up in Mr.Underwood’s elbow.

每次在走廊遇到她，我都加倍客氣，因為她太嚇人了。I try to be pretty nice to Ruby whenever I come across her in the hallway,because she terrifies me.

不過今天我開始擔憂了，會不會是我對她客氣過頭了，導致她誤以為我喜歡上她了。我最不想見到的事情就是露比把我的名字寫在小紙片上，因為我知道要是她做了我的舞伴，我保準會做出讓她生氣的事，然后她剩下的那顆門牙就會嵌在我的手臂里 。 But today I got worried that maybe I’ve been too nice and she might think I actually like her.The last thing I need is for Ruby to write my name down on that little slip of paper,because I know if she’s my dance partner,I’ll do something to make her mad and end up with her other tooth in my arm.

所以我就用我的小紙片來阻止這事兒的發生。So I used my little slip of paper to try and make sure that doesn’t happen.

我還把我吃了一半留下來的糖果棒搭進去了，以確保莫雷塔夫人能理解我的用心。I even threw in a half-eaten candy bar I was saving for later on to make sure Mrs.Moretta comes through for me.
