Back To School
返校

“Get up Sue, it’s back to school. New term starts today. You’ve shiny shoes, your pens are new, your friends are on their way.”
“苏,起床了,该返校了。今天就是新学期的开始了。你的鞋闪闪发亮,你的笔是新的,你的朋友们也在去学校的路上了。”
“I’m staying in bed. I hate that place. They bully me and swear. They call me geek, say I'm a freak, and laugh at what I wear.”
“我还在床上。我讨厌那个地方。他们欺负我,骂我。他们叫我奇葩,说我是个怪胎,嘲笑我的穿着。”
“Get in the car, I’ll take you Sue, or else you will be late. I’ve packed your lunch, your hair is bunched. You'll see your bestie Kate!”
“苏,快上车,我送你去,不然你要迟到了。我给你准备好了午餐,把你的头发也扎好了。你就要见到你的闺蜜凯特了!”
“I've told you Mum, a million times! She left our school last term. Now let me out, I’ll scream and shout. Dumb rules just make me squirm.”
“妈妈,我已经告诉你无数次了!她上学期离开我们学校了。现在放我出
去,我要大喊大叫了。愚蠢的规则只会让我局促不安。”
“Shush now dear, we’re at the gate. The kids will point and stare. Tongues will wag, now grab your bag- the deputy's over there.”
“嘘,亲爱的——我们到了门口。孩子们会指指点点,盯着你看,议论你。现在拿起你的包——副院长在那边。”
“He’s the worst - he picks on me. He says my brain’s a bean. He calls me fat, and things like that. Says I’m a drama queen.”
“他是最讨厌的——他挑我的毛病。他说我的大脑是一颗豆子。他说我胖诸如此类的话。还说我是戏剧女王。”
“Sue, he’s coming over now. Behave yourself my dear. Get out the boot! My gosh he's cute. Stop crying - he might hear!”
“苏,他现在要过来了。乖点,亲爱的。把靴子脱下来!我的天,他很可爱。别哭了——他会听见的!”
“I haven't done my homework Mum. Sir will go insane. Please write a note, and say a goat, devoured it in Spain.”
“妈妈,我还没做家庭作业。老师会发疯的。请写张纸条,说一只山羊,在西班牙吞掉了它。”
“Right that’s it - I’ve had enough. Get in that playground do. Now hide your tongue, you must be strong. You are the head now Sue!”
“好了,就这样,我受够了。到操场上去。现在闭上你的嘴,你必须坚强。你现在是主角了,苏!”
