41. A Cockroach in Our Classroom (1)
What would you do if you found a cockroach in your classroom? Would you cry? Would you laugh? Or would you just sit there and do nothing? In my class we did all those.
Suddenly I heard a terrible cry from one of the girls. My heart missed a beat.I heard another cry. I am now thinking to myself“what is going on”! Then there it was! It was at least an inch and a half long, just a little cockroach! Now this was the first time I had seen in real life, but from all the pictures and the m ovies I had seen in the past, I could tell it was a cockroach.
My teacher quickly ran to fetch some paper towels. To be honest, I didn’t think that window cleaner could help. I was wrong. The little cockroach got a big drop of “The Window Cleaner”, and lying on the floor,did not move.
41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(l)
如果发现你的教室里有一只蟑螂你会怎么做？你会大叫吗？会大笑吗？或者你只是坐在
那里什么也不做(do nothing)吗？在我们教室里，以上种种行为全都有。
突然间我听到一个女孩的可怕的叫声。我的心跳(beat)停了一下。我又听到一声喊叫。我
心想(think to oneself)“发生什么事了(what is going on)”，接着我看到了！是一只至少(at least)一英寸(inch)半长的小蟑螂！这是我第一次在真实的生活中看到。以前在图片里和电影(movie)里看到过，因此我知道那是一只蟑螂。
我们的老师快速跑去拿来(fetch)一些纸巾(paper towel)。说实话(to be honest)，我本
以为窗户(window)清洁剂不会起什么作用，但我错了。这只小蟑螂被淋了一大滴“窗户清洁
剂”，躺在地板上(lie on the floor)，不动(move)了。

Well that was just the beginning.Ok, here is the whole story.My teacher walked over to the, now not moving, cockroach.If you have a weak stomach I am warning you now... she stepped on it.
I don't know if you have seen the movies where someone steps on the cockroach and you hear a loud “CRUNCH”(嘎扎嘎扎的压碎), but I can tell you right now that those movies are one-hundred percent true.
I wa s laughing hard that I wa s crying.I looked around the classroom Some of my friends were laughing too.Of course the girly girls were crying and some of the other kids thought it was no big deal and just sat there reading their books.
My teacher was not very happy to find out that she was the one who had to clean up the dirty place.
Most people will not realize that when you step on a cockroach it will make a terrible sound you may not want to hear.So when you ever go to kill a cockroach, watch out for “THE CRUNCH”.
41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(2)
那只是开始，现在才是完整的故事。我们的老师走向这个，现在已经不动了的，蟑螂。如
果你的胃口(stomach)不好，我现在可提醒你……她踩了上去。
我不知道你是否看过这样的电影，某人踩到蟑螂上，然后你听到响亮的“嘎扎嘎扎”声，
但现在我告诉你那些电影是百分之百(one-hundred percent)的真实。
我笑的眼泪都要出来了。我环顾教室，我的一些朋友也在笑。当然，一些娇弱的女孩正在
大喊大叫，其他一些孩子认为不是什么大事(no big deal)。只管坐在那里看书。
我们的老师不太高兴，她发现她是唯一要善后打扫(clean up)这个脏(dirty)地方的人。
大部分人没有意识到(realize)当你踩蟑螂时会发出一种可怕的你不想听到的声音(sound)。因此，你要杀死一只蟑螂时，当心(watch out)那“嘎扎嘎扎”的声音。
