15

And that's where we found him. That SHOULD'VE been the end of the night, but it wasn't When we got back to the room, we found out that Manny had pocketed one of the baby turtles while no one was looking, so Dad had to bring it all the way back to the beach to set it free.

我们就是在那里找到他的。 我们回到房间，发现曼尼趁没人注意的时候把一只小海龟装进了口袋，所以爸爸不得不大老远地把它带回海滩放生。

Thursday I guess Mom wasn't too happy with the way our family vacation was going so far, because after breakfast she said she was gonna take a "spa day." That sounded like a GREAT idea to me, and I told Mom I was gonna tag along. I've always wanted to get a massage, and I figured this was my big chance. But Mom said she needed time to HERSELF. and the rest of us were on our own. That meant WE had to watch Manny.

星期四，我猜妈妈对我们的家庭度假不太满意，因为早饭后她说她要去“做水疗” 对我来说，这听起来是个好主意，我告诉妈妈我要跟着去。 我一直想做个按摩，我觉得这是个好机会。 但是妈妈说她需要自己的时间。 剩下的人只能靠自己了。 这就意味着我们得盯着曼尼。

Once Mom left, the three of us tried to figure out what to do. Manny was too much to handle, so I suggested we just drop him off at the Toddlers' Cabana and let the people who worked there deal with him. Dad liked that idea, because he said he wanted to get in a workout at the gym. He told me and Rodrick we were responsible for getting Manny to the Toddlers' Cabana, and then he left. The path took us right past the wall that separated our half from the Wild Side. I guess some kids were trying to get a peek at what was over there, but the landscapers put a stop to it.

妈妈离开后，我们三个想办法怎么办。 曼尼太难对付了，所以我建议我们把他送到幼儿小屋，让那里的工作人员来处理他。 爸爸喜欢这个主意，因为他说他想去健身房锻炼一下。 他告诉我和罗德里克我们负责把曼尼送到幼儿小屋，然后他就走了。 这条小路把我们带过了把我们那一半和荒野区隔开的那堵墙。 我猜有些孩子想看一眼那边是什么，但园艺师阻止了他们。

I asked Rodrick what he thought was on the other side, and he said he already KNEW. He said some of his friends in the Teen Zone told him that all SORTS of crazy stuff goes on over there and there's even a beach where people sunbathe without any clothes on. He said there's a HOLE in the wall and if you look through it, you can see the other side. But I knew Rodrick was just trying to trick me, because he's told me this kind of thing BEFORE.

我问罗德里克他认为对岸是什么，他说他已经知道了。 他说，他在青少年区的一些朋友告诉他，那里有各种各样疯狂的事情，甚至有一个海滩，人们可以不穿衣服日光浴。 他说墙上有个洞，如果你从洞里往外看，就能看到墙的另一面。 但我知道罗德里克只是想骗我，因为他以前跟我说过这种事。

One summer when we were at the town pool, he told me that if I peeked over this cinderblock wall, I could see into the ladie's locker room. Well, I BELIEVED him, and I've been trying to erase that image from my mind ever since. We brought Manny to the Toddlers' Cabana, and the kids inside were making puppets. I told the person in charge we were dropping our little brother off for the day and we'd be back later. The counselor said the only requirement for a drop-off was that the kid was potty-trained, and I told him that Manny WAS.

有一年夏天，我们在镇上的游泳池，他告诉我，如果我从这堵煤渣砖墙往外偷看，就能看到女更衣室。 好吧，我相信了他，从那以后，我一直试图从我的脑海中抹去那个画面。 我们带曼尼去了幼儿小屋，里面的孩子们在做木偶。 我告诉负责的人，我们今天送我们的小弟弟，我们一会儿就回来。 辅导员说送孩子的唯一条件就是孩子要学过如厕，我告诉他曼尼学过。

But Manny must really not have wanted to make puppets, because he got himself out of it. Rodrick said I had to watch Manny by MYSELF, because he was gonna go check out the activities in the Teen Zone. But I knew he was just going there to meet up with that girl. I was not happy that I got stuck with Manny. I didn't want to take him to the beach, because he'd just start collecting pets again. So I took him to the Pirate Playplace, which was a splash zone for little kids.

但曼尼肯定不是真的想做木偶，因为他自己从中解脱出来了。 罗德里克说我得自己照看曼尼，因为他要去青少年区看看有什么活动。 但我知道他只是去见那个女孩。 我很不高兴和曼尼在一起。 我不想带他去海滩，因为他又开始收集宠物了。 所以我带他去了海盗游乐场，那是小孩子的水上乐园。
