There are the few different seating sections at Corny's, but since we always have Manny with us, they put our family in the section called "Children's Alley." In Children's Alley, I don't think they even bother cleaning up when one family leaves and a new one comes in. So when you get to your table, there's always crumpled-up napkins on the floor and half- eaten french fries on the seats.

科尼餐厅有几个不同的座位区，但因为我们总是和曼尼在一起，所以他们把我们一家安排在了“儿童巷”的区域。 在儿童巷，当一个家庭离开，一个新的家庭进来时，我想他们甚至都懒得打扫卫生。 所以当你走到你的餐桌前，地上总是有皱巴巴的餐巾纸，座位上总是有吃了一半的薯条。

The first time we went to Corny's, I didn't check my seat, and I ended up sitting on an open-faced peanut butter and Jelly sandwich. Another thing I hate about Children's Alley is that you're right next to the bathroom's, and the doors are always swinging open, so you can see in there when you're trying to eat. Also, the service is TERRIBLE at Corny's, so we always just get the buffet and serve ourselves. The food is in these metal trays, and there's always stuff from one tray mixed in with the others.

我们第一次去科尼餐厅的时候，我没有检查座位，结果我坐在了一个露面花生酱果冻三明治上。 我讨厌儿童巷的另一件事是，你就在浴室旁边，门总是开着，所以你想吃东西的时候可以看到里面。 而且，科尼餐厅的服务很糟糕，所以我们总是点自助餐，自己吃。 食物放在这些金属托盘里，一个托盘里的东西总是和其他托盘混在一起。

At the dessert bar, they have an ice-cream dispenser where you can make your own sundae. I know that sounds great, but there's a reason most restaurants don't let customers operate the soft- serve machines. One of the reasons Mom likes to go to Corny's is that they have a ball pit, and she's hoping Manny we'll learn to play with other kids his age.

在甜品吧，他们有一个冰淇淋分配器，你可以在那里制作自己的圣代。 我知道这听起来很棒，但大多数餐馆不让顾客操作软饮机是有原因的。 妈妈喜欢去康尼家的原因之一是那里有一个球坑，她希望曼尼能学会和其他同龄的孩子一起玩。

But Manny usually just buries himself in a pile of balls to hide from the other kids and then waits it out until it's time to go whole home. Last Thursday we went to Corny's, and Mom actually made Manny go in the plastic tubes so he couldn't hide in the ball pit. Manny got freaked out up there, though, and he was too scared to come down on his own.

但曼尼通常只是把自己埋在一堆蛋蛋里，不让其他孩子看到然后等到回家的时候再出来。 上周四我们去了科尼家，妈妈让曼尼钻进塑料管里这样他就不会躲在球坑里了。 曼尼在上面吓坏了，他太害怕了，不敢自己下来。

So mum told me I had to go up there and get him since I was the only one in the family who was small enough to crawl in the tubes. I tried climbing up through the area Manny had used to get to the tubes, but it was too tight of a squeeze and I had to bail out. That meant the only way I could get to Manny was to climb up the spiral plastic slide that empties into the

所以妈妈告诉我，我必须上去把他接过来，因为我是家里唯一一个小到可以在管子里爬的人。 我试着爬过曼尼用来到达管道的地方，但是太挤了，我不得不跳出来。 这意味着我要接近曼尼的唯一方法就是爬上螺旋状的塑料滑梯那滑梯通向

ball pit. I am not a fan of dark, enclosed spaces to begin with, so I wasn't looking forward to crawling up that thing. I yelled into the bottom to make sure the coast was clear. but kids ignored me and came sliding down anyway. Once I made it past the traffic jam and got all the way to the top, I started crawling around through the maze of tubes to try and find Manny. There was no ventilation up there, and it REEKED of dirty socks.

球坑。我本来就不喜欢阴暗封闭的空间，所以我也不想爬上去。 我对着海底大喊，以确保海岸安全。 但孩子们不理睬我，还是滑了下来。 当我穿过交通堵塞，到达山顶时，我开始在迷宫般的管道里爬来爬去，试图找到曼尼。 那里没有通风，到处都是臭袜子的味道。
