close the book he was reading and show the cover to us. And you're not gonna believe this, but it was Mrs. Craig's dictionary. Alex said he'd been studying the dictionary to get ready for the state spelling bee next month. Well, that would've been nice to know before we gave him our five bucks. Anyway, there was no time to waste complaining, because Mrs. Craig was gonna be back in the room at any second. Corey Lamb grabbed the book from Alex and put it on Mrs. Craig's desk. But she walked in the room right at that moment.

合上他正在读的书，把封面给我们看。 你肯定不相信，那是克雷格夫人的字典。 亚历克斯说他一直在学字典，为下个月的州拼写比赛做准备。 要是在我们给他五块钱之前知道就好了。 总之，没时间抱怨了，因为克雷格太太随时都会回来。 科里·兰姆从亚历克斯手里抢过书，放在克雷格夫人的桌子上。 但就在那一刻，她走进了房间。

Mrs. Craig ended up going back on her whole "no consequences" promise, so Corey Lamb is gonna be spending the next three weeks inside during recess. Looking on the bright side, though, at least he'll have Alex Aruda to keep him company. February Tuesday

克雷格夫人最终背弃了她的“不计后果”承诺，所以科里·兰姆接下来三周的课间休息都要在室内度过。 不过从好的方面来看，至少他还有亚历克斯·阿鲁达（Alex Aruda）作伴。 2月日

Yesterday in the cafeteria, when I emptied out my lunch bag, I got two Fruits—and no snacks. WHAT THE— This was a pretty big problem. Mom always packs cookies or sugar wafers or something in my lunch bag, and it's usually the only thing I eat. So I had no energy for the rest of the day. When I got home, I asked Mom what the deal was with the two-fruits thing. She said she always buys

昨天在自助餐厅，当我倒空我的午餐袋时，我买了两个水果——没有零食。 这是一个相当大的问题。 妈妈总是在我的午餐袋里装饼干或糖华夫饼之类的东西，通常这是我唯一吃的东西。 所以那天剩下的时间我都没有精力。 回到家，我问妈妈两个水果是怎么回事。 她说她总是买东西

enough treats to last us the whole week, so one of us boys must've taken the snacks out of the bin in the laundry room. I'm sure Mom thinks I'm the one stealing the snacks, but believe me, I already learned my lesson about doing that. Last year I took treats out of the bin, but I totally paid the price for it when I opened my lunch bag at school and pulled out Mom's substitute snack. WOULD ONE OF YOU GENTLEMEN CARE TO TRADE SOMETHING FOR A PACK OF CROUTONS? Today at lunch it was the same exact thing: two fruits and no snacks. Like I said, I really depend on the boost I get from that sugar. nkledc. I almost fell asleep in Mr. Watson's class

足够我们吃一整个星期的零食了，所以肯定是有人从洗衣房的垃圾桶里拿了零食。 我肯定妈妈认为是我偷了零食，但是相信我，我已经得到了教训。 去年我从垃圾桶里拿零食，但是当我在学校打开午餐袋拿出妈妈的替代零食时，我完全付出了代价。 你们哪位先生愿意拿什么东西换一包面包丁吗？ 今天的午餐还是一样：两个水果，没有零食。 就像我说的，我真的很依赖糖给我带来的能量。 我在沃森老师的课上差点睡着

in sixth period, but luckily I snapped awake when my head hit the back of my chair. WOOOZAA! When I got home, I told Mom it wasn't fair someone else was eating the treats and I was having to suffer. But she said she wasn't going to go grocery shopping until the end of the week, and that I'd just have to "make do" until then. Dad wasn't any help, either. When I complained to him, he just made up a penalty for anyone caught stealing snacks, which was "no drums and no video games for a week." So obviously he thinks it's either me or Rodrick. Like I said, it's not me, but I figured Dad might be right about Rodrick. When Rodrick went up to the

但幸运的是，当我的头撞到椅背时，我一下子醒了过来。 WOOOZAA !当我回到家时，我告诉妈妈，别人吃了糖果，我不得不受苦，这太不公平了。 但她说她要到周末才会去杂货店买东西，我在那之前只能“凑合”了。 爸爸也没帮上什么忙。 当我向他抱怨时，他只是给偷零食的人定了一个惩罚，那就是“一个星期不能打鼓，不能玩电子游戏”。 显然他觉得要么是我，要么是罗德里克。 我说了，不是我的错，但我觉得爸爸对罗德里克的看法可能是对的。 当罗德里克走到

bathroom after dinner, I walked down to his room to see if I could find any wrappers or crumbs. But while I was poking around in Rodrick's room, I heard him coming downstairs. I had to hide quick, because for some reason Rodrick gets really bent out of shape when he catches me in his room, like he did yesterday. Right before Rodrick got to the bottom of the stairs, I dove into his desk cabinet and shut the door. Rodrick walked in the room, then flopped on his bed and called his friend Ward. Rodrick and Ward talked forever, and I was starting to think I might have to spend the night in that desk.

晚饭后，我走到他的房间，看看是否能找到包装纸或面包屑。 但当我在罗德里克的房间里闲逛时，我听到他下楼了。 我得赶紧躲起来，因为不知道为什么罗德里克在他房间里撞见我的时候会大发雷霆，就像昨天一样。 就在罗德里克走下楼梯之前，我冲进他的书桌柜，关上了门。 罗德里克走进房间，扑通一声躺在床上，叫他的朋友沃德。 罗德里克和沃德聊了很久，我都开始想我可能要在那张桌子上过夜了。
