Tuesday It was seriously cold again this morning, so I dug my scarf and a pair of old gloves out of the closet. Mom said I should wear the mittens Gramma knitted for me last winter, but when she made those things, she forgot to add THUMBS. I think she was watching daytime tv or something when she made them. So whenever I put them on, it's basically like wearing SOCKS on my hands. And they're totally USELESS in a snowball fight. Throw uh, throw uh, bad throw.

周二 今天早上又冷得离谱，所以我从柜子里翻出了围巾和一副旧手套。 妈妈让我戴去年奶奶给我织的连指手套，可她织的时候忘了留出拇指啦。 我觉得她织的时候肯定在看日间档电视或者别的什么东西。 所以每次我戴上，感觉基本上就是把手塞进袜子里。 而且打雪仗的时候这手套完全没用。 投啊，投啊，投偏了。

Mom said I should wear earmuffs, too, but the thing I've learned is that if kids know you can't hear them COMING, you're just ASKING for it. Step, step, step, throw. The reason I get so cold is because I'm SKINNY, and I don't have any insulation. Every winter, I try to eat a lot to give myself an extra layer of blubber. But I guess I've got a fast metabolism, because nothing I do ever seems to WORK. like putting icecream on cereal. Nothing. I think it was something like ten degrees outside this morning, and on the walk to school I started wondering if a person's BLOODcould freeze.

妈妈还让我戴耳罩，可我早就发现，如果别人过来你都听不见，那简直就是自找麻烦。 一步，一步，一步，投。 我这么怕冷是因为我太瘦了，身上根本没有脂肪层保暖。 每年冬天我都猛吃，想给自己攒出一层额外的脂肪。 可我猜我新陈代谢太快了，不管我做什么好像都没用。 比如说把冰淇淋浇在麦片上吃。 一点用都没有。 今天早上外面大概只有十度，走去学校的路上我都开始琢磨，人的血液会不会冻住。

I've heard people are something like 60% WATER, so I guess it's POSSIBLE. But it kind of feels like something Albert Sandy would make up. What I was worried about the MOST was FROSTBITE. By the time I was halfway to school, my ears were STINGING, and I really wished I had listened to Mom about the earmuffs. I thought one of my ears might actually fall OFF, and that I wouldn't notice until I was in class. so the teacher would say, mister HEFFLEY Do you have your homework? And i'd say, hey, because I wouldn't have an ear. It wasn't just my EARS I was worried about, though. Apparently there are a LOT of body parts where you can get frostbite.

我听说人体差不多百分之六十都是水，所以我觉得这是有可能的。 不过这话感觉像是艾伯特·桑迪瞎编的。 我最担心的就是冻伤。 走到学校一半的时候，我的耳朵开始刺痛，我真后悔没听妈妈的话戴耳罩。 我觉得我的一只耳朵说不定就要掉了，还得等到进了教室我才会发现。 然后老师会说：赫夫利先生。 你带作业了吗？ 我就会说，你看，我都少了一只耳朵啦。 不过，我担心的可不只是耳朵。 很明显，身体好多部位都可能会冻伤。

I wouldn't want to lose my NOSE, because I'd look a little freaky without one. Then again, my desk in Social Studies is right next to the BATHROOM, so at least THAT situation would get a little better. I couldn't smell it when the people came out, Plus, my nose ALWAYS runs on cold days, and I never realize I've got frozen snot on my face until it's too late. Hey, ladies, is

我可不想丢掉我的鼻子，没了鼻子我看起来会怪怪的。 不过话说回来，我社会学课的座位刚好在厕所旁边，所以至少没了鼻子情况反而会好一点。 别人从厕所出来我也闻不到味儿，而且冷天我总流鼻涕，往往等我发现脸上沾了冻硬的鼻涕时都已经晚了。 嘿，姑娘们，这

I'd like to hang on to my LIPS, too, because if I didn't have them it would always look like I was SMILING. And in certain situations, that could be a real problem. like funerals, you don't want to be caught grinning at one of those because your mom would say i'm glad you find this so amusing. I was lucky I found those GLOVES, because I wouldn't want to lose any FINGERS, either. The only thing I'd be willing to give up is my pinky toes, because I hardly EVER use mine. The last time I can remember using them was when I was in preschool and I needed to count to twenty. But other than that, I'm drawing a blank. Eighteen. nine, twenty,

我也想保住我的嘴唇，因为没了嘴唇我就会一直看起来像是在笑。 在某些场合，这可真是个大麻烦。 比如葬礼，你肯定不想在那一直咧嘴笑，不然你妈妈会说：你还挺开心的啊？ 幸好我找到了那副旧手套，因为我也不想丢掉任何一根手指。 我唯一愿意舍弃的就是小脚趾，因为我几乎用不到它。 我上次记得用它还是在幼儿园，那时候我要数到二十。 除此之外，我啥都想不起来了。 十八。 九，二十。

I guess a lot of OTHER kids were worried about frostbite, too, because when I got to school, there was a whole line of boys in the bathroom waiting to use the hand dryer. And that made me five minutes late for first period. It wasn't as windy on the walk home today, but it was just as COLD. Me and Rowley stopped at the pizza place again to warm up, because Rowley found a coupon for two free meatball subs in his coat pocket. burn a potato. He,

我猜别的很多孩子也担心冻伤，因为我到学校的时候，厕所里排了一长队男生等着用干手器。 结果我第一节课迟到了五分钟。 今天走路回家的时候风没那么大，但还是一样冷。 我和罗利又去披萨店取暖，因为罗利在他外套口袋里找到了一张两张免费肉丸潜艇堡的优惠券。 烧个土豆。 他。
