If Rowley thinks he had it bad when those kids made him eat the Cheese, he should try being stuck in the Leisure Towers ladies' room for an hour and a half. I guess someone eventually heard me in there, and they reported me to the front desk. Within a few minutes, word got around the building that there was a "Peeping Tom" in the women's room.

如果罗利觉得那些孩子逼他吃奶酪的时候他很难受，那他应该试试被困在休闲塔女厕所一个半小时。 我猜最终有人听到了我的声音，然后向前台举报了我。 没过几分钟，大楼里就传出女厕所里有个“偷窥狂”的消息。

By the time security came in and got me out of there, everyone who lived in Leisure Towers was down in the lobby. And Rodrick saw the whole thing unfold upstairs on Grandpa's TV. Now that the story was out, I knew I couldn't show my face at school. So I told Mom she was gonna have to transfer me somewhere else, and I told her why. Mom said I shouldn't worry about what other people think. She told me that my classmates would understand that I had just made an "honest mistake."

保安进来把我救出来的时候，所有住在休闲塔的人都在楼下的大厅里。 罗德里克在楼上爷爷的电视上看到了整件事的展开。 既然这件事已经传开了，我知道我不能在学校露面了。 所以我告诉妈妈她要把我转到别的地方，我告诉了她原因。 妈妈说我不用担心别人怎么想。 她告诉我，我的同学们会理解我只是犯了一个“无心之过”。

So that just proves once and for all that Mom doesn't understand a THING about kids my age. Now I'm kicking myself for not keeping up my pen- pal relationship with Mamadou. Because if me and him had stayed in touch, maybe I could have gone to France as an exchange student and hid out THERE for a few years. All I know is, the one place I don't want to go tomorrow is school. And it looks like that's exactly where I'm headed.

所以这就彻底证明了妈妈对我这个年纪的孩子一点也不了解。 现在我后悔没有和马马杜保持笔友关系。 因为如果我和他一直保持联系，也许我可以作为交换生去法国，在那里躲几年。 我只知道，明天我唯一不想去的地方就是学校。 看来这就是我要去的地方。

Friday The CRAZIEST thing happened today. When I walked in the door at school, a bunch of guys cornered me, and I braced myself for the teasing to start. But instead of harassing me, they started CONGRATULATING me. Everyone was shaking my hand and patting me on the back, and I didn't know WHAT was going on. With all those guys talking to me at the same time, it took me a while to make sense of anything. But here's what must have happened. The story Rodrick told his friends got passed on to their brothers and sisters, and then they told THEIR friends.

星期五今天发生了一件最疯狂的事情。 当我走进学校的门时，一群人围住了我，我准备好迎接他们的嘲笑。 但他们非但没有骚扰我，反而开始祝贺我。 每个人都在和我握手，拍我的背，我不知道发生了什么。 有那么多人同时跟我说话，我花了好长时间才弄明白。 但事情一定是这样的。 罗德里克告诉他的朋友的故事被传递给他们的兄弟姐妹，然后他们告诉他们的朋友。

But by the time word spread around, all the details got totally messed up. So the story went from me accidentally walking into the women's bathroom at Leisure Towers to me infiltrating the girls' locker room at Crossland HIGH SCHOOL. I couldn't believe everything got twisted like that, but I wasn't about to set the record straight, either.

但当消息传开的时候，所有的细节都搞砸了。 所以故事就从我不小心走进休闲塔的女洗手间变成了我潜入克罗斯兰高中的女生更衣室。 我不敢相信一切都被扭曲成那样，但我也不打算澄清事实。

All of the sudden, I was the hero at school. I even got a nickname. People were calling me the "Stealthinator." Someone even made me a Stealthinator headband, and you better believe I wore it. Things like this never happen to me, so I wasn't gonna pass up my moment of glory. And for the first time ever, I knew what it felt like to be the most popular kid at school. Unfortunately, the girls weren't as impressed with me as the guys were. In fact, I think I might have a little trouble getting someone to go to the Valentine's Dance with me.

突然之间，我成了学校的英雄。 我甚至有了一个昵称。人们叫我“隐形者”。 有人甚至给我做了一个Stealthinator发带，你最好相信我戴过。 这种事从没在我身上发生过，所以我不想错过我的荣耀时刻。 生平第一次，我体会到了成为学校里最受欢迎的孩子是什么感觉。 不幸的是，女孩们不像男孩们那样对我印象深刻。 事实上，我觉得找个人和我一起去情人节舞会可能有点困难。
