16

Some people wanted to take it even FURTHER. Fivehead said it had to be your DAD'S underwear, and you had to walk past the pretty girls pitches at lunchtime. Then the guys got into an argument about whether the underwear should be clean or dirty, and things got physical again. But I was actually GLAD, because it gave me the opportunity I needed to slip away.

有些人还想着把这事玩得更过火。 “五头脑”说，得穿你爸爸的内裤，还要在午饭时间从漂亮女孩的营地旁走过去。 接着这帮家伙又吵了起来，争论内裤该干净还是该脏，最后又演变成了肢体冲突。 但我其实挺开心的，因为这给了我机会，正好悄悄溜走。

Tuesday Thankfully, Mom didn't have any big plans for us today. Because after everything that happened yesterday, I really just wanted to lie low for the rest of the trip. Mom went to the camp store to pick up some groceries for dinner, and when she came back she was all excited about a flyer shed picked up at the main loage. TONIGHT! POOL •PARTY. FOOD! GAMES! MUSIC! GUARANTEED FAMILY FUN!

星期二 谢天谢地，妈妈今天没给我们安排什么大计划。 经历了昨天那些事之后，我只想在剩下的行程里低调躲着。 妈妈去营地商店买晚餐的食材，回来的时候，因为在主小屋捡到的一张传单兴奋得不行。 就在今晚！ 泳池 • 派对 有美食！ 玩游戏！ 听音乐！ 保证全家欢乐无穷！

Nobody else was crazy about going to a pool party, but Mom said this could be just the thing to turn our trip around. We all knew that once Mom gets an idea in her head there's no talking her out of it. Plus, it had been really sticky and hot all day, so I figured it would be nice to cool off for a few hours. Mom forgot to get plastic utensils at the store, so she sent me up there with some money. I was a little nervous one of those teenagers might spot me on the way, so I wanted to get there and back as quick as I could. But I stopped when Regular Marcus called out to me when I passed by the place we hid yesterday.

我们其他人都没兴趣去泳池派对，但妈妈说这正好能扭转我们这趟糟糕的旅程。 我们都清楚，妈妈一旦打定主意，说什么都没法让她改变想法。 再说今天一整天都又闷又热，所以我想着去凉快几个小时也不错。 妈妈忘了在商店买塑料餐具，就给了我点钱让我去跑一趟。 我有点担心会被那些青少年撞见，所以想赶紧去赶紧回。 可我路过昨天我们藏身的地方时，普通马库斯喊住了我，我就停了下来。

PSSST! Regular Marcus told me that this morning these posters started appearing all over camp, and he showed me one he took from the laundrette ICE CREAM SUNDAE PARTY! Trade in your squirt gun for a FREE ice cream sundae!

喂！ 普通马库斯告诉我，今天早上营地到处都贴了这种海报，他还给我看了一张从洗衣房拿的——冰淇淋圣代派对！ 拿你的水枪来，就能换一份免费冰淇淋圣代！

The second I saw the poster, I knew it was a TRICK. I told Regular Marcus that the people who run this place were just trying to catch the kids who trashed the shack shack, and they were using ice cream as BAIT. I told him not to fall for it, and to tell the OTHER guys not to, either. But he said it was already too LATE. Because, when the first posters went up, Juicebox and the other guys had headed straight for the loage with their water guns.

我一看到海报就反应过来，这是个圈套。 我告诉普通马库斯，这里的管事就是想抓弄坏小木屋的孩子，他们拿冰淇淋当诱饵。 我让他别上当，也转告其他男孩别去。 可他说已经来不及了。 因为第一张海报刚贴出来，果汁盒他们就拿着水枪直奔主小屋去了。

Regular Marcus said he wouldive been WITH them, but he had to go back to his camper van to grab his squirt gun. And by the time he got to the loage the doors were already LOCKED. So Regular Marcus climbed up on to a recycling Din to look through the window and see what was going on. And what he saw wasn't PRETTY.

普通马库斯说他本来也跟着去的，可他得回自己的露营车拿水枪。 等他赶到主小屋的时候，门早就锁上了。 于是普通马库斯爬到回收箱上，透过窗户看里面发生了什么。 他看到的场面可不太妙。
