小屁孩日记 · 12 The Getaway

14

All I knew for sure was that I didn't feel great about eating lunch while sitting in monkey water. There was some sort of big sports game on the TV, and everyone at the bar seemed really into it. But somehow Manny ended up with the remote control, and he changed the channel to a show for little kids. Everyone wanted Manny to change the channel BACK, but when Manny wants to watch one of his shows, trust me, there's nothing ANYONE can do about it.

我唯一确定的是,坐在猴子水里吃午饭感觉不太好。 电视上正在播放某种大型体育比赛,酒吧里的每个人似乎都很投入。 但不知怎么的,曼尼拿到了遥控器,他把频道换成了给小孩子看的节目。 每个人都想让曼尼换回频道,但当曼尼想看他的节目时,相信我,没人能阻止他。

The people at the bar were ready to RIOT, so Mom scooped Manny up and we got out of there before I even finished my burger. Rodrick went back to the Teen Zone, and Mom and Dad took Manny to the suite so he could take a nap.

酒吧里的人都要暴动了,所以妈妈把曼尼抱起来,我还没吃完汉堡我们就离开了。 罗德里克回青少年区了,爸妈带曼尼去套房,让他睡个午觉。

I really didn't want to go back to the room and risk running into that SPIDER again, so I decided to spend the rest of the afternoon in the arcade. I had to make the coins I'd collected in the Treasure Dive last two and a half hours. But there were some kids in the arcade who could've lasted for DAYS in there without spending all of their money. When it started to get dark, I figured I should head back to the room. But I ran into Mom, Dad, and Manny on the footpath halfway between the arcade and our building.

我真的不想再回到房间去冒险撞到那只蜘蛛,所以我决定把下午剩下的时间都花在游戏厅里。 我必须让我在宝藏潜水中收集到的硬币坚持两个半小时。 但在游戏厅里,有些孩子可以在不花光所有钱的情况下在里面玩几天。 天开始黑下来的时候,我想我应该回房间了。 但我在拱廊和我们楼中间的人行道上碰到了爸爸妈妈和曼尼。

Mom said we were all gonna go down to a bonfire on the beach, and after that, we were gonna watch the turtle hatching. But first we needed to find RODRICK. This time we ALL went into the Teen Zone to look for him. By now it was pretty dark, though, so it wasn't easy to spot him. But when we DID, I don't think he was too thrilled to see us. On the way to the beach, Mom told Rodrick this was a FAMILY vacation, and it wasn't the time or place for "teenage romance."

妈妈说我们要一起去海滩上点篝火,然后一起去看海龟孵化。 但首先我们得找到罗德里克。 这次我们都去了青少年区找他。 不过这时天已经很黑了,所以不容易发现他。 但当我们去的时候,我觉得他看到我们并不太兴奋。 在去海滩的路上,妈妈告诉罗德里克这是一次家庭度假,现在不是“青少年恋情”的时间和地点。

Rodrick said this thing with the girl was SERIOUS and they planned to spend as much time as they could together. I was kind of surprised, because I thought Rodrick would be turned off by the whole idea of romance after spending a few days at the resort. Who knows? Maybe one day he'll be back to this place with HIS family. We got down to the beach, where a bunch of families had gathered around a bonfire. But the experience wasn't fun because of the BUGS. At first it was the gnats, which flew in our eyes and mouths.

罗德里克说,他们和那个女孩的关系是认真的,他们计划尽可能多地呆在一起。 我有点惊讶,因为我以为罗德里克在度假胜地待了几天后就会对浪漫的想法失去兴趣。 谁知道呢?也许有一天他会和他的家人一起回到这个地方。 我们来到海滩,一群家庭聚集在篝火旁。 但是由于bug的存在,这种体验并不有趣。 起初是蚊蚋,在我们的眼睛和嘴巴里飞来飞去。

Then it was the sand fleas, which bit our ankles. And then it was the MOSQUITOES, which were the size of hummingbirds. Whoever came up with the idea of calling this place "paradise" must've had a good sense of humor. Back home, human beings are at the top of the food chain. But at Isla de Corales, everything eats PEOPLE.

然后是沙蚤,咬我们的脚踝。 然后是蚊子,它们有蜂鸟那么大。 不管是谁想出了把这个地方称为“天堂”的主意,他一定很有幽默感。 在地球上,人类处于食物链的顶端。 但在科拉莱斯岛,一切都吃人。
