For homework, please read Chapters 20-25 of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

 

In an email to me, please respond to the following:

 

What do you think is most interesting in these chapters and why? Please write at least five sentences.  Also, if you found any parts confusing or boring, write those down so we can talk about them.

 

Also, please translate the paragraph on p.92 beginning with “Click went the machine, and the whizzer stopped…..” ending on p. 93 “..looked like a little strip of gray cardboard.”

If you don't know some of the words, try looking them up.  If they still don't make sense, write them down to ask me in class!

 

If you have any questions, let me know!  Otherwise, see you next week!

机器发出了一阵脆响,然后机器就停止了嗡嗡声。然后传来一阵吸奶声,然后所有的蓝色材料都流进了机器的大肚子里。一阵宁静过后,一些细小的声音发了出来,接着又是一片宁静,突然,机器发出了一生就打的打嗝,在这同时,有一个非常小的盘子从机器里掉出来,盘子里又一个非常小,颜色是灰色的东西。所有人都觉得这是个错误,这东西看着像一张小卡片。

I think the interesting part in 20-25 chapters is that violet ate the gum that Mr.Wonka had not put some thing in it, and when she ate it, she turn into a blueberry and rolled away by the oompa-loom pas.

And I don't have any part that I think is boring

   机器咔嗒一响,嘶嘶声停止了,这时又传出了一种抽吸的声音,不一会大盆中所有蓝色的起泡混和液体都给吸到机器里去了。出现了片刻的沉寂,随后又传出了几声奇怪的轰隆声。又是片刻的沉寂,突然,机器发出了一声惊人的声响,同时砰的一声吐出了一只小抽屉(就跟一台售货机的抽屉差不多大小),抽屉里躺着一根很小的东西,这东西很细,灰蒙蒙的,样子就象一小条灰色的卡纸板,每个人都以为这下肯定出错了。

 

click the machine, the sound stopped. Suddenly, there was the sucking noise, and the blue babes with the liquid all be sucked in by the machine. There was a second of the silence, and there comes out a strange sound. Than another moment of the silence, suddenly, the machine has an amazing sound, and at that time, a tiny drawer came out and there was a tiny things inside the drawer. It is thin and gray, it just looks like a gray card bored, everyone think it has something wrong now.

 

 

Her body was swelling up and changing shape at such a rate that within a minute up it had turned into nothing less than an enormous round blue ball—a gigantic blueberry, in fact—and all that remained of Violet  Beauregarde herself was a tiny pair of arms sticking out of the great round fruit and a little head on top.

 

I think it is very interesting because that the description is very funny. Such as the word “ enormous round blue ball”, it really shows me what did she looks like. And the writer made the joke of her. It has lots of details in those sentences. And I can imagine that she muse look like a clown, and she look very clumsy and stupid.
