There was a snack shack in the pool area, and the laundrette and shower block were close by. I wanted to kill a little more time before I went back to our camper van in case Dad wasn't done emptying out the sewage tank. So I explored some of the other pitches to see what they were like. The nicest ones were the deluxe pitches that overlooked the stream. Those people had satellite dishes and fancy BBQs, and they had actual LAWNS that they took care of.

泳池区有一间小吃棚，洗衣房和淋浴区就在旁边。 我想多晃一会儿再回露营车，免得爸爸还没排完污水。 于是我逛了逛别的营位，想看看都长什么样。 最好的营位是能俯瞰小溪的豪华营位。 住在那儿的人家都装了卫星天线，摆着高级烤架，还有打理得整整齐齐的真草坪呢。

I could tell the deluxe campsite people didn't like us economy guys hanging around their properties, though, so I didn't stick around long. The spots further down the hill weren't as nice, but each row was kind of like its own little neighbourhood. One of the rows had a bunch of older people in it, so I'm guessing that was the area for retirees. A few rows down were families with little kids.

不过我看得出来，豪华营区的人不喜欢我们普通区的人在这儿晃悠，所以我没待多久就走了。 山坡下方的营位没这么好，但每一排都像一个小小的居民区。 其中一排住了好多年纪大的人，我猜那是退休老人的专区。 再往下几排，住的都是带小朋友的家庭。

Some of the rows had THEMES, and people went kind of crazy with the decorations. A few people didn't have full-sized camper vans, and I felt grateful that Uncle Gary hadn't left us one of THOSE instead.

有些营排还有专属主题，大家把装饰弄得热闹极了。 还有些人没有 full-size 的大露营车，我真庆幸加里叔叔没留给我们那样的小车。

Some other people didn't have camper vans at ALL. There was one area that looked like it had a full motorcycle gang in it, and I was glad we didn't end up as neighbours with THOSE guys. But it might've been even WORSE if we'd ended up in the pet-friendly row. Because that area was a total ZOO.

还有些人压根就没有露营车。 有一片区域看起来住了一整个摩托车帮派，我太开心我们没跟这帮人当邻居。 不过要是我们住进宠物友好区，说不定还更糟糕。 因为那地方完全就是个乱糟糟的动物园。

I could tell when I was getting closer to the economy row because the pitches were packed a whole lot TIGHTER, and people had to make the most of their space. When I got back to our pitch, Dad was cooking hot dogs on the BBQ. I wanted to ask him if he washed his hands after doing the sewage hook-up, but I thought he might get annoyed with me.

快走到普通营区的时候我就感觉到了，这儿的营位挤多了，大家都得把自己那点空间用到极致。 我回到我们的营位时，爸爸正在烤架上烤热狗。 我想问他排完污水有没有洗手，可又怕他会生我的气。

Mom was trying to get to know some of our neighbours, but they seemed like the type of people who liked to keep to themselves. Once Dad was done cooking, we sat down at our picnic table to eat. But the people on the other side of us were playing beanbag toss on their roof, and somebody up there had a lousy aim.

妈妈想去认识认识我们的邻居，可这些邻居看起来就是喜欢独来独往的类型。 爸爸烤完东西，我们就坐在野餐桌上吃饭。 可我们隔壁的人在车顶上玩扔沙包，有个人准头差得离谱。
