“你知道吗，奥吉，你应该去一下那所学校，这样你就能听到他的名字在喇叭中响起了！”爸爸兴奋地说。
"Can you imagine how funny that would be? Hello, hello? Paging Mr. Tushman!"
“你能想象那会有多搞笑吗？喂，喂？呼叫图什曼先生！”
He was using a fake high, old-lady voice, "Hi, Mr. Tushman! I see you"re running a little behind today! Did your car get rear-ended again? What a bum rap!"
他装成一个老妇人，尖着嗓门高声说：“喂，图什曼先生！我看你今天迟到了！你的车又追尾了吗？真冤啊！”
注：“behind”有“屁股”的意思。
I started laughing, not even because I thought he was being that funny but because I wasn"t in the mood to stay mad anymore.
我笑了起来，不是因为觉得有多好笑，而是因为我没有心情再生气了。
"It could be worse, though!" Dad continued in his normal voice. "Mommy and I had a professor in college called Miss Butt."
“不过，还有更糟的呢！”爸爸继续用正常的声音说，“你妈和我上大学的时候有个教授叫巴特小姐。”
注：“butt”也是“屁股”的意思。
Mom was laughing now, too.
这时妈妈也笑了起来。
"Is that for real?" I said.
“真的假的？”我问。
"Roberta Butt," Mom answered, raising her hand as if to swear. "Bobbie Butt."
