小屁孩日记 · 10 Old School
I hadn't touched my stuffed pepper, so I dumped the whole thing. I asked Mr. Healey why we put our leftovers into a pot instead of the trash can. He said at Hardscrabble Farms no food goes to waste, and everything we didn't eat for THIS meal is put into a stew for the NEXT one. He said it was the same way when he came to this camp as a kid, and they still used the exact same pot. That means there could be leftovers from thirty YEARS ago in that thing. After lunch Mrs. Graziano and the female chaperones took the girls to the other side of camp to go to their cabins.
我没碰我的胡椒粉,所以我把它全倒了。 我问希利先生,为什么我们把剩饭剩菜放进锅里,而不是垃圾桶里。 他说,在艰苦的农场里,食物是不会浪费的,我们这顿饭没吃的东西,都要放在锅里炖,下顿饭用。 他说他小时候来这个营地的时候也是这样,他们还在用同样的锅。 这意味着那东西里可能有30年前的残留物。 午饭后,格拉齐亚诺太太和女监护人把女孩们带到营地的另一边,回到她们的小屋。
Mom had actually wanted to volunteer as a chaperone last-minute, but she wasn't comfortable leaving Manny with Rodrick and Grandpa. That kind of stinks, though, because she could've fed inside information from the girls' side of camp. YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE WITH LAUREN, BUT CHLOE THINKS YOU HAVE A CUTE BUTT! Us guys stayed back in the cafeteria to get our cabin assignments. Most of the groups were kids who hang out together at school, but each cabin seemed to have ONE kid who didn't belong.
妈妈本来想在最后一刻自愿做监护人,但她不愿意把曼尼留给罗德里克和爷爷。 不过这也太糟糕了,因为她可能会提供营地女生那边的内部消息。 你跟劳伦没戏,但克洛伊觉得你的屁股很可爱!我们待在自助餐厅里,安排我们的舱位。 大多数小组都是在学校里一起玩的孩子,但每个小屋似乎都有一个不属于这里的孩子。
The school must have decided to spread the troublemakers out so there wouldn't be more than one in any cabin. The only group that had MORE than one troublemaker was Mr. Nuzzis group. But Mr. Nuzzi works as a prison guard, so I guess they figured he could handle it. Since I registered late, I got put with the group of LEFTOVERS, which included Rowley.
学校肯定决定把捣乱的人分散开来这样每个小木屋里就不会有一个以上的人。 唯一一个有不止一个麻烦制造者的小组是努兹所在的小组。 但努齐先生是监狱看守,所以我猜他们觉得他能搞定。 由于我注册晚了,我被安排在了包括罗利在内的“剩饭剩菜”小组。
I was glad I got assigned to the same cabin as Rowley, but I wasn't happy his FATHER was the chaperone. Mr. Jefferson has never really been a big fan of mine, and I wasn't looking forward to being cooped up with him for a whole WEEK. It was pretty clear whoever had our cabin last didn't bother cleaning up after themselves. One kid in my group, Julian Trimble, seemed to be taking the situation pretty hard, because his lip started to quiver as soon as we walked in the door. I was kind of surprised Julian decided to come on this trip, because I'm guessing he's never been away from his parents overnight before.
我很高兴能和罗利住在同一间小屋,但我不高兴他的父亲是他的监护人。 杰佛逊先生从来都不是我的忠实粉丝,我也不希望和他关在一起整整一个星期。 很明显,上次住我们小屋的人根本懒得打扫卫生。 我们组的一个孩子朱利安·特林布尔(Julian Trimble)似乎很难接受这种情况,因为我们一进门,他的嘴唇就开始颤抖。 我有点惊讶朱利安决定参加这次旅行,因为我猜他以前从来没有离开过父母过夜。
Julian was always the kid who made a big scene every morning during drop-off time at school. Once, in second grade, he had such a strong grip on his mom that the vice principal had to come down to peel them apart. I figured Julian decided to go on this trip on his OWN, but when I remembered the scene at the school this morning, I started to wonder if his mom actually tricked him into it.
朱利安总是那个每天早上送孩子到学校时大吵大闹的孩子。 在二年级的时候,有一次,他对他妈妈的控制太过强烈,以至于副校长不得不下来把他们分开。 我以为朱利安是自己决定去旅行的,但当我想起今天早上在学校的场景时,我开始怀疑他妈妈是不是真的骗他去的。
Everybody started picking out their bunks, and that's when I found out why everyone had such big bags. I had just assumed the bedding would be taken care of, but I guess that was too much to hope for at a place like this. The closest thing I had to a pillow was my hoodie, which already smelled like Rodrick's ham sandwich. It was hard finding a mattress without any weird stains on it. I picked a top bunk because I couldn't risk being underneath Julian in case he wet the bed.
每个人都开始挑选床铺,那时我才明白为什么每个人都带着这么大的包。 我原以为床上用品会被照顾好,但我想在这样一个地方,这是太希望了。 最像枕头的是我的连帽衫,闻起来就像罗德里克的火腿三明治。 很难找到一张没有奇怪污渍的床垫。 我选了上铺因为我不能冒险睡在朱利安下面以防他尿床。
