I closed my eyes and tried to pretend I was by myself. But that was kind of hard to do when the person in the next stall started getting CHATTY. IS THAT RASPBERRY SILK SHAMPOO? GINIET SNIFF I decided to wrap things up and get out of there. But the shower stopped before I had a chance to rinse the shampoo out of my hair.

我闭上眼睛，假装这里只有我一个人。 可旁边隔间的人开始唠唠叨叨，这就很难装得下去了。 你用的是树莓丝滑洗发水吗？ 吉尼特！ 我吸了吸鼻子，赶紧收拾好东西离开这里。 可我还没来得及冲干净头发上的洗发水，淋浴就停了。

It turns out twenty-five cents only paid for three minutes of hot water. I tried to hand the next person in line a coin to put in the slot, but I couldn't get his attention. So I stepped out of the shower to put the coin in MYSELF. But I guess that was just the opportunity this guy was WAITING for.

原来二十五美分只够买三分钟的热水。 我想给排队的下一个人递硬币，让他帮我投进投币口，可他根本没注意到我。 所以我只能走出淋浴间，亲自去投硬币。 可我猜这正好是那个家伙一直在等的机会。

And what REALLY stunk was when he started using my SHAMPOO. I didn't feel like getting into an argument with a naked guy, so I LEFT. But some soapsuds got in my eye, and I could barely see where I was going.

最让人恶心的是，他居然开始用我的洗发水。 我不想跟一个裸男吵架，所以就先走了。 可肥皂泡沫进了我的眼睛，我根本看不清路。

Luckily, I found my way to the laundrette, where there was a sink. And that water was FREE. Once I finished rinsing the shampoo out of my hair, I started looking for our clothes. But someone had taken them out of the washing machine and dumped them on the floor so they could put THEIR clothes in.

幸好我摸索着找到了洗衣房，那里有个水槽。 而且那里的水是免费的。 我把头发上的洗发水冲干净之后，就开始找我们的衣服。 可有人把我们的衣服从洗衣机里掏出来扔在地上，好把他们自己的衣服放进去。

After I put our clothes in the dryer, I decided I was gonna stick around the washing machines and find out who dumped our stuff on the floor when they came back to get THEIRS. But, when I saw who it WAS, I thought maybe I could let things slide one more time.

我把我们的衣服放进烘干机之后，决定守在洗衣机旁边，等那个扔我衣服的人回来拿自己衣服的时候问个清楚。 可当我看清是谁干的之后，我想着要不这次就放对方一马吧。

When I got back to our pitch, all I wanted to do was crawl back into bed. But Mom said we were all going down to the lake and I needed to put on my swimming shorts. I reminded her that I didn't HAVE swimming shorts any more, and I was hoping that would get me off the hook. But Mom said Rodrick had a SPARE pair, and, even though I'm not a fan of wearing someone else's clothes, I knew there was no point in debating her about it. I figured if we splashed around the lake for a few minutes and acted like we were having a good time, Mom would be satisfied and let us go back to camp. But she took her camera with her, and that always complicates things.

我回到我们的营地之后，就只想爬回床上躺着。 可妈妈说我们所有人都要去湖边，让我换上游泳裤。 我提醒她我早就没有游泳裤了，本来以为这样就能不用去了。 可妈妈说罗德里克有备用的，虽然我不喜欢穿别人的衣服，但我知道跟她争辩也没用。 我本来想着，我们去湖边扑腾几分钟，装成玩得开心的样子，妈妈就满足了，会让我们回营地。 可她带了相机出来，带相机就总会把事情搞复杂。
