小屁孩日记 · 15 Deep End

15

The last game we played was Red Rover, where everyone makes a human chain and tries to keep one person from getting through. But Big Marcus was unstoppable, and we got pretty banged up. It seemed like everyone was ready to wrap things up for the day, but that's when something fell from the SKY. SPLAT

我们最后玩的游戏叫“冲过河”,所有人拉手连成链子,要挡住冲过来的人。 可大个子马库斯没人挡得住,我们都被撞得磕磕碰碰。 大家都觉得这天玩得差不多要结束了,就在这时,有东西从天而降! 啪叽!

It was those teenagers on the hill, launching watermelons from their hammock. We ran for cover underneath the shed where they kept the kayaks. And that's where Juicebox told me what was going on. He said that every time him and his gang played in that field the teenagers bombarded them with watermelons. And I really wished someone had mentioned that to me BEFORE I agreed to go down there. But Juicebox said that today him and his guys were ready to strike BACK.

原来是山上的那几个少年,在吊床上扔西瓜呢。 我们赶紧跑到放皮划艇的棚子底下躲起来。 就在那儿,果汁盒跟我说了事情的来龙去脉。 他说每次他和伙伴们在那片草地上玩,那些少年就会用西瓜轰炸他们。 我真希望我答应来这儿之前,就有人跟我说过这事呀。 不过果汁盒说,今天他和兄弟们准备好反击了!

They'd stashed a bunch of water guns in one of the kayaks, and they had some serious firepower in there. Everyone chose a weapon for themselves, but since I was the new guy I picked LAST. I wasn't crazy about picking a fight with a bunch of teenagers anyway, so I told the guys I really needed to be getting back to my family.

他们在一艘皮划艇里藏了好多水枪,火力可足了。 大家各自挑选武器,我是新来的,所以最后挑。 我本来就不想跟一群少年起冲突,所以我跟大伙说我得回去找我的家人了。

But Juicebox said I was one of THEM now, and we were all in this fight TOGETHER. I probably should've walked away then, but I didn't wanna let these guys down. We gathered around Juicebox, and he showed us his plan. He said somebody needed to volunteer to be the decoy on the lake so the rest of us could sneak up on the teenagers from behind. TEENS LAKE DECOY HILL AMBUSH TEAM Nobody wanted to volunteer, so we took a vote, and that's how Big Marcus got chosen. And that was good news for me, because I got his water gun.

可果汁盒说我现在已经是自己人了,我们要一起并肩作战。 我那时候其实应该直接走掉,但我不想让这些小伙伴失望。 我们围到果汁盒身边,他给我们说了他的计划。 他说需要一个人自愿去湖上当诱饵,这样剩下的人就能从背后偷偷摸到少年们那边。 少年 湖泊 诱饵 山丘 伏击队 没人愿意主动去,所以我们投票决定,最后大个子马库斯被选中了。 这对我来说可是好消息,因为我拿到了他的水枪。

Big Marcus paddled out to the middle of the lake and, sure enough, the teenagers opened fire as soon as they saw him. SPLOOSH SPLASH And that's when the rest of us made our MOVE. SPLORGE

大个子马库斯划到湖中心,果然,少年们一看见他就立刻开火了。 哗啦 哗啦 就在这个时候,我们剩下的人开始行动了! 哗啦啦

We let loose with everything we had, and by the time our water guns were empty those teenagers were totally DRENCHED. But I wish Juicebox had put a little more thought into the NEXT step of his plan, because all we really did was make those guys MAD.

我们把所有水都喷了出去,等水枪空了的时候,那些少年全湿透了。 可我真希望果汁盒能多想想计划的下一步,因为我们只是把那些家伙彻底惹火了而已。
