小屁孩日记

星期二Tuesday

据我所知，露比是学校唯一一个被勒令休学过的女生，原因是她咬老师。事实上，露比之所以只有一颗门牙，是因为另一颗嵌在了安德伍德老师的胳膊里。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，我都加倍客气，因为她太吓人了。I try to be pretty nice to Ruby whenever I come across her in the hallway,because she terrifies me.

不过今天我开始担忧了，会不会是我对她客气过头了，导致她误以为我喜欢上她了。我最不想见到的事情就是露比把我的名字写在小纸片上，因为我知道要是她做了我的舞伴，我保准会做出让她生气的事，然后她剩下的那颗门牙就会嵌在我的手臂里 。 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.

所以我就用我的小纸片来阻止这事儿的发生。So I used my little slip of paper to try and make sure that doesn’t happen.

我还把我吃了一半留下来的糖果棒搭进去了，以确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.
