JANUARY Monday Everybody in my neighborhood is outside today enjoying the warm weather and sunshine. Well, everyone except ME. It's kind of hard to enjoy a heat wave when it's the middle of the WINTER. People are calling this "wacky weather," but it just doesn't feel right. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I think it should be cold in the winter and hot in the SUMMER. I've heard the whole PLANET is warming up, and that human beings are the reason. But don't blame ME, because I just GOT here.

一月 星期一 今天我住的街区所有人都出门了，享受温暖天气和阳光 可偏偏只有我没出门 大冬天的来热浪，哪能让人开心得起来啊 大家都说这是“古怪天气”，我也觉得不对劲 可能我老派守旧吧，但我觉得就该冬天冷、夏天热才对 我听说整个地球都在变暖，人类才是造成这件事的原因 但别赖我呀，我才刚来到这世界没多久

If the world ISgetting hotter, I just hope it doesn't happen too FAST.Because if things keep up at THISrate, I'll be riding a camel to high school. They say the ice caps are melting and the sea is rising, so I've been trying to convince Mom and Dad to buy a house higher up on our hill. But they just don't seem all that concerned.

如果世界真的越来越热，我只希望它别变得太快，不然照这个速度下去，我上高中就得骑骆驼上学了 听说冰盖在融化，海平面在上升，所以我一直劝爸爸妈妈，把家换到山上更高的地方去 可他们好像一点都不担心

It kind of makes me nervous that I'm the only one in my family worried about this stuff. Because if we don't do something about the situation SOON, we're gonna wish we DID. It's not just the rising sea levels I'm nervous about. Those ice caps have been around for millions of years, and there could be things buried inside of them that should STAYthat way.

全家只有我在担心这事，想想还真有点不安 要是我们不赶紧做点什么改变现状，以后肯定会追悔莫及 我担心的可不只是海平面上升哦 那些冰盖已经存在几百万年了，里面埋着的东西，本来就该一直冻在那才对

I saw a movie about a caveman who got frozen in ice, and when it melted thousands of years later he was still ALIVE. I don't know if that kind of thing could actually happen in real life, but if there AREunfrozen cavemen walking around these days, the night janitor at my school might be one of them. If we DOfigure a way out of this climate mess, it's probably gonna be someone from MYgeneration who solves it. That's why I'm always nice to the SMARTkids, because THEY'REthe ones who are gonna save our butts.

我看过一部电影，讲一个原始人冻在冰里，几千年后冰融化了，他居然还活着 我不知道现实里真的会不会发生这种事，但要是现在真有解冻的原始人到处走，我们学校的夜间清洁工说不定就是一个 如果真的有人能解决气候这个烂摊子，那肯定是我们这代人里出的能人 所以我一直对聪明的小朋友特别好，救我们小命的肯定就是他们呀

Whatever the answer is, I guarantee you TECHNOLOGY is gonna be the key. Grown-ups are always saying that too much technology is BAD for kids, but I say the more the BETTER. In fact, as soon as I can afford one of those high-tech toilets that learns all your habits, I'm gonna get the most expensive model. Some people worry that one day we'll lose control of our technology and robots will take OVER. Well, if that happens, I'm gonna make sure I'm on THEIR side.

不管解决办法是什么，我敢打包票，科技肯定是关键 大人总说科技用太多对小孩不好，可我觉得越多越好 其实啊，等我攒够钱，我就要买那种能记住你所有习惯的高科技马桶，而且要买最贵的款 有些人担心，总有一天我们会掌控不了科技，机器人会接管世界 要是真发生这事，我肯定会站在机器人那边
