在学校花名册上我仍叫乔若莎，不过在其他场合我就叫茱蒂了。要自己为自己取一个小名实在很悲哀，不是吗？不过茱蒂也不是我凭空捏造的。弗莱迪•珀金斯牙牙学语前，都是这样叫我的。

I wish Mrs. Lippett would use a little more ingenuity about choosing babies' names. She gets the last names out of the telephone book-- you'll find Abbott on the first page--and she picks the Christian names up anywhere; she got Jerusha from a tombstone. I've always hated it; but I rather like Judy. It's such a silly name. It belongs to the kind of girl I'm not--a sweet little blue-eyed thing, petted and spoiled by all the family, who romps her way through life without any cares. Wouldn't it be nice to be like that? Whatever faults I may have, no one can ever accuse me of having been spoiled by my family! But it's great fun to pretend I've been. In the future please always address me as Judy.

我希望李皮太太以后在给小宝宝取名字时能多动一点点脑筋。她从电话簿上取我们的姓氏——您要是翻开第一页就会看到艾伯特了。而名字则都是信手拈来的，乔若莎是她从一块墓碑上看到的。我一直都很讨厌这名字，不过我挺喜欢茱蒂的。这是一个傻呼呼的名字，应该是一个与我完全不同的女孩子，一个有一双蓝眼睛，甜甜的，娇生惯养，什么都不用烦恼地过一辈子的女孩子。那样该有多好啊！不管我犯了什么错，都没人可以说是我的家人把我惯坏的。不过假装一下也挺好玩的。以后就请叫我茱蒂。
