So I buried the book in a box of old comics in my closet, and that's where it is to this day. I haven't been back to the library since then, but I know if I ever do show up, they'll be waiting for me. In fact, I get nervous if I even see a librarian.

所以我把这本书埋在壁橱里的一盒旧漫画里，直到今天它还在那里。 从那以后我再没去过图书馆，但我知道如果我去了，他们会等着我的。 事实上，我一见到图书管理员就会紧张。

I asked Mom if we could get a second chance to pick out a book on our own, and she said we could. We're supposed to meet again tomorrow and bring our new selections with us. Wednesday Well, the membership of the Reading Is Fun Club took a big hit overnight. Most of the guys who came yesterday bailed out, and now there's only two of us. Rowley brought two books along with him.

我问妈妈能不能再给我们一次机会，让我们自己挑一本书，她说可以。 我们应该明天再见面，带着我们的新选择。 星期三啊，“阅读是乐趣”俱乐部的成员一夜之间遭受了重创。 昨天来的大多数人都走了，现在只剩下我们两个人了。 罗利带来了两本书。

How to find Garden Faeries Me & My Mommy Silly Playgroup Activities The book I picked was the ninth volume in the "Magick and Monsters: Dark Realms "series. I figured Mom would like it because it's pretty long and there aren't any pictures. But Mom didn't like my book. She said she didn't

我选的书是“魔法与怪物：黑暗王国”系列的第九卷。 我想妈妈会喜欢的，因为它很长，而且没有照片。 但是妈妈不喜欢我的书。 她说她没有

approve of the illustration on the cover because she didn't like the way it portrayed women. I've read "Shadowdoom," and from what I can remember, there aren't even any women in the story. In fact, I kind of wonder if the person who designed the cover even Read the book. Anyway, Mom said that she was gonna use her veto power as the Reading Is Fun Club's founder and choose the book for us. So she chose this book called "Charlotte's Web," which looks like one of those "classics" I was talking about before. nkledc. Just from looking at the cover, I guarantee either the girl or the pig doesn't make it to the end of the

同意封面上的插图，因为她不喜欢它描绘女性的方式。 我读过《暗影毁灭》，在我的记忆中，故事里连个女人都没有。 事实上，我有点怀疑设计封面的人是否读过这本书。 不管怎么说，妈妈说她要行使她作为读书乐趣俱乐部创始人的否决权为我们选书。 所以她选了这本叫《夏洛特的网》的书，看起来就像我之前说过的那些“经典”之一。 光从封面上看，我保证无论是女孩还是猪都不会走到最后

book. Friday Well, the Reading Is Fun Club is down to one member, and that's me. Yesterday Rowley went golfing or something with his dad, so he kind of hung me out to dry. I didn't do my reading assignment, and I was really counting on him to cover for me at the meeting. It's not really my fault that I couldn't finish my reading assignment, though. Mom told me I had to read in my bedroom for twenty minutes yesterday. but the truth is, I just have trouble concentrating for long periods of time.

书。好了，“阅读是乐趣”俱乐部只剩下一个成员了，那就是我。 昨天罗利和他爸爸去打高尔夫什么的了，所以他把我晾在一边了。 我没有完成阅读作业，我真的很指望他在会上替我。 不过，我没能完成阅读作业并不是我的错。 妈妈告诉我昨天我必须在卧室里读二十分钟书。 但事实是，我只是无法长时间集中注意力。

After Mom caught me horsing around, she banned me from watching TV until I read the book. So last night I had to wait until she went to bed before I could get my entertainment fix. I kept thinking about that movie with the muddy hand, though. I was afraid that if I was watching TV all by myself late at night, the muddy hand might crawl out from under the couch and grab my foot or something. The way I solved the problem was by making a trail of clothes and other stuff all the way from my bedroom down to the family room. That way I was able to make it downstairs and back without ever touching the ground.

妈妈发现我胡闹后，禁止我看电视，直到我读完这本书。 所以昨晚我不得不等到她上床睡觉，然后我才能享受我的娱乐。 但我一直在想那部电影里沾满泥巴的手。 我害怕如果我一个人在深夜看电视，那只沾满泥巴的手可能会从沙发底下爬出来抓我的脚什么的。 我解决这个问题的方法是把衣服和其他东西从卧室一直拖到家庭活动室。 这样，我就可以在不触地的情况下上下楼。
