Isabella doesn't come back until Thursday, so I guess I'll have to wait until then to take another crack at it. This is actually pretty exciting for me, because I've never had anyone I could farm my work out to. Rodrick is ALWAYS tricking me into doing stuff for HIM. He'll start by asking me to do something, and I always say no. GO GET ME SOME ICE CREAM. NO WAY! Then he starts counting down from ten. And I don't

伊莎贝拉要到星期四才回来，所以我想我得等到那时候再试一次了。 这对我来说真的很令人兴奋，因为我从来没有人可以把我的工作外包给别人。 罗德里克总是骗我为他做事。 他会先让我做点什么，而我总是拒绝。 去给我拿些冰淇淋来。没门!然后他开始从十开始倒数。 我不知道

know why, but that gets to me every time. I've found out that kind of thing doesn't work on adults. Last week I tried to get Dad to fetch the TV remote, because I left it on the kitchen table. But he didn't even move a muscle. Anyway, I'm hoping Isabella comes through for me on

我知道为什么，但每次都让我心烦。 我发现这种事对成年人不起作用。 上周我试图让爸爸去拿电视遥控器，因为我把它落在厨房的桌子上了。 但他一动也不动。 不管怎样，我希望伊莎贝拉能帮我渡过难关

Thursday. I've been wearing the same socks for a few days now, and they're starting to feel like cardboard. Thursday Ok, now this is starting to get a little ridiculous. Last night I dragged my laundry back downstairs and left another note for Isabella. Dear Isabella, has bly wallpaper. Please wroom and dry his clothes and put them in his room. Thank you, Mrs. Heffley But instead of clean laundry, I just got another note.

星期四。这双袜子我已经穿了好几天了，它们开始变得像硬纸板一样了。 好了，现在这开始变得有点可笑了。 昨晚我把洗好的衣服拖回楼下给伊莎贝拉又留了一张便条。 亲爱的伊莎贝拉，有白色的墙纸。 请把他的衣服擦干，放在他的房间里。 谢谢你，赫夫利太太但我没有收到要洗的衣服，而是收到了另一张纸条。

Now I get Isabella's act. She's gonna keep dragging this out forever. On the one hand, I kind of have to respect her skill at avoiding work. But on the other hand, I really do need some clean underwear soon. And what REALLY stinks is that Isabella has been eating our junk food. I went to get some pretzels out of the pantry tonight, and the bag was practically empty. I noticed the potato chips were gone, too. And believe it or not, Isabella left a note in the pantry to complain about our snack selection. Dear Mrs. Heffley, Please note that i prefer barsecue potato chips over plain ones. Isabella Well, the potato chips she ate were barbecue, but she just didn't know it. Manny licks the flavoring off the barbecue chips and puts them back in the bag. Unfortunately, I had to learn that the hard way.

现在我明白伊莎贝拉的行为了。她会一直拖下去的。 一方面，我不得不尊重她逃避工作的能力。 但另一方面，我真的需要一些干净的内衣。 真正糟糕的是伊莎贝拉一直在吃我们的垃圾食品。 今晚我去食品储藏室拿椒盐脆饼，袋子里几乎是空的。 我注意到薯片也不见了。 信不信由你，伊莎贝拉在食品储藏室留了张纸条抱怨我们选择的零食。 亲爱的赫夫利太太：请注意，我更喜欢法式薯片，而不是普通的。 伊莎贝拉：嗯，她吃的薯片是烤肉，但她不知道。 曼尼舔掉烧烤片上的味道，把它们放回袋子里。 不幸的是，这是我经历过的惨痛教训。

Mom went out and bought a bunch of snacks just for Isabella and put them in the pantry, and the rest of us aren't allowed to touch them. Monday Today at school they announced that they're going to have a special fundraiser for the music program, called a "Lock-In." From what I can tell, it's sort of like a big boy-girl slumber party, so you can definitely count me in.

妈妈出去给伊莎贝拉买了一堆零食放在食品柜里，我们其他人都不许碰。 星期一今天在学校，他们宣布他们将为音乐项目举办一个特别的筹款活动，叫做“禁闭”。 在我看来，这有点像男女睡衣派对，所以我当然可以参加。

PSST We're having a Lock-In this Friday night! Your child is invited to a night of supervised fun in the middle school auditorium. The event goes from dusk till dawn and features games and prizes. Chaperones needed! Admission is $5 and all proceeds will go to the Save Our Music Program fund The only thing that bothered me was the "chaperone" part. So I cut that out before I showed it to Mom. Tuesday All right, I've had it with our maid. I gave her one more shot at doing my laundry, and she weaseled out

这周五晚上我们有个禁闭活动！你的孩子被邀请去中学礼堂参加一个有监督的快乐之夜。 活动从黄昏持续到黎明，以游戏和奖品为特色。 需要陪伴!门票是免费的，所有收益将捐给“拯救我们的音乐计划”基金唯一让我困扰的是“陪护”的部分。 所以我在给妈妈看之前把它剪了下来。 星期二好吧，我受够我们的女佣了。 我再给她一次机会帮我洗衣服，她却溜之大吉了
