美国小学英语教材5:第204课 乔西的本垒打(12)

“Oh, Josie, Josie, what will you do next? Do you think your brother would be willing to take credit for what you did?”

“哦，乔西，乔西，你接下来要做什么? 你认为你哥哥会愿意为你所做的事邀功吗?”

Nevertheless, he laughed and laughed, for Josie looked so guilty and ashamed. The team yelled and cheered. Even the Whittier boys joined in the chorus.

尽管如此，他还是笑了又笑，因为乔西看上去既内疚又羞愧。队员们欢呼雀跃。连惠蒂尔家的孩子也加入了合唱。

“Don’t scold her, Mr. Dawn. She won the game. Josie! Josie ! Ring around a rosy¹!”

“别骂她，唐恩先生。她赢了这场比赛。乔西!乔西!玫瑰色的光环！”

Well, this was the way the Lowell fifth-graders became champions. Perhaps I need not tell you that Josie was an honored guest at the Meridian² game. Indeed, she yelled and cheered so loudly for Joe and his friends that I am sure she helped win the Lowell victory. She sat at the table when the chicken dinner was served, and if any member of the team ate more chicken and ice cream than Josie, I should like to know his name. For Josie liked to eat as well as she liked to play baseball.

这就是洛厄尔五年级学生成为冠军的方式。也许我不需要告诉你乔西是莫里迪恩洲比赛的贵宾。事实上，她为乔和他的朋友们大声呼喊和欢呼，我相信她帮助他们赢得了洛厄尔的胜利。上桌的时候，她坐在桌旁，如果有队员吃的鸡肉和冰淇淋比乔西多，我想知道他的名字。因为乔西喜欢吃，就像她喜欢打棒球一样。
