今天體育課取消了,因為第四節(jié)課改為全校大會。不得不承認(rèn),我還真有點失望了。說來你也不信,我跟卡洛斯跳梅倫格舞還跳出感覺了呢。Today at school, Phys Ed was canceled because we had a general assembly during fourth period. I have to admit I was a little disappointed when I found out, because believe it or not, me and Carlos have actually been getting the hang of the merengue.
不過大家都很興奮,因為我們自從11月那次之后就沒開過全校大會了。那次是一個叫“了不起的安德魯”的催眠師來我們學(xué)校。Most people were pretty excited, though, because we havent had a general assembly since November. Thats when this hypnotist called the Amazing Andrew came to our school.
他的壓軸好戲是催眠一排八年級的學(xué)生,讓他們以為彼此的胳膊被萬能膠黏在了一起。In the grand finale of his show, the Amazing Andrew hypnotized a line of eighth-graders into thinking their arms were superglued together.
然后他說他會用一句咒語將他們分開。他念了咒語后,他們果然就真的分開了。Then he told the guys hed unglue them with a magic word, and when he said it they came apart just like that.
放學(xué)后,孩子們開始爭論不休,圍繞催眠師那把戲到底是真是假,那幾個八年級學(xué)生是不是都串通好了做托的之類。After school some kids got into an argument over whether the hypnotist was for real or if those eighth-graders were in on the act and just faking it.
