Dear reader: I'm very excited that you're holding the Kindle edition of Diary of a Wimpy Kid in your hands. When I read my first e-book on a Kindle, I was amazed at the possibilities. Carrying a whole library around with me on a device I could fit in the palm of my hand? Amazing. What's been very rewarding to me as an author has been seeing kids carrying their dog-eared copies of Diary of a Wimpy Kid with them. The Kindle allows kids to have the whole series at their fingertips, and the reading experience is crisp and clean every time... with no chance of today's breakfast staining the pages. Thank you for purchasing Diary of a Wimpy Kid on your Kindle. I hope it gives you lots of laughs and you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. Jeff Kinney

亲爱的读者：看到你手里拿着Kindle版的《小屁孩日记》，我感到非常兴奋。 当我在Kindle上读我的第一本电子书时，我对它的可能性感到惊讶。 用一个可以放在手掌里的设备随身携带整个图书馆？ 不可思议。作为一名作家，看到孩子们随身带着他们那本皱巴巴的《小屁孩日记》，对我来说是一件很有成就感的事。 Kindle可以让孩子们在指尖上阅读整个系列，每次阅读体验都是干净利落的…… 今天的早餐不会弄脏书页。 感谢您在Kindle上购买《小屁孩日记》。 我希望它能给你带来很多欢笑，你读它的时候和我写它的时候一样开心。 金尼

Diary of a Wimpy Kid GREG HEFFLEY'S JOURNAL

《小屁孩日记》格雷格·赫夫利的日记

TO MOM, DAD, RE, SCOTT, AND PATRICK

敬妈妈，爸爸，re， scott和Patrick

September Tuesday First of all, let me get something straight: This is a Journal, not a diary. I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing I specifically told her to get one that didn't say "diary" on it. Great. All I need is for some jerk to catch me carrying this book around and get the wrong idea. The other thing I want to clear up right away is that this was mom's idea, not mine. But if she thinks I'm going to write down my "feelings" in here or whatever, she's crazy. So just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that.

首先，让我澄清一点：这是一本日记，不是日记。 我知道封面上写的是什么，但当妈妈出去买这本书的时候，我特意告诉她买一本没有“日记”字样的。 好了。我只需要有个混蛋撞见我拿着这本书到处走然后产生错误的想法。 另一件我想马上澄清的事是这是妈妈的主意，不是我的。 但如果她认为我会在这里写下我的“感受”什么的，那她就疯了。 所以别指望我总是“亲爱的日记”这个“亲爱的日记”那个。

The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day long. So this book is gonna come in handy. Like I said, I'll be famous one day, but for now I'm stuck in middle school with a bunch of morons.

我同意做这件事的唯一原因是，我想等我有钱了，出名了，我会有更重要的事情要做，而不是整天回答别人的愚蠢问题。 所以这本书迟早会派上用场的。 就像我说的，总有一天我会出名的，但现在我被困在一群白痴的中学里。
