8. Morning

8/Morning Morning came very early. It was still dark outside. I jiggled Lucille and that Grace. "I'm hungry," I said. "Are you guys hungry. I am really, really hungry." I shook them some more. "Let's eat. You wanna eat? I really, really wanna eat." Finally, Lucille and that Grace yawned and stretched. Then all of us put on our bathrobes and our slippers. And we went down the hall to get the nanna for breakfast. Lucille shaked her real gentle. "Wake up, Nanna," she whispered.

早晨，早晨来得很早。 外面还很黑。 我摇晃着露西尔和那个格蕾丝。 “我饿了，”我说。“你们饿了吗?” 我真的，真的很饿。” 我又摇了摇它们。“让我们吃。 你想吃东西吗?我真的很想吃东西。” 最后，露西尔和格蕾丝打了个哈欠，伸了个懒腰。 然后我们都穿上浴衣和拖鞋。 然后我们走到走廊去叫奶奶吃早饭。 露西尔非常温柔地摇着她。 “醒醒，奶奶，”她低声说。

"Wake up, Nanna," said that Grace. "Wake up, Nanna," I said. The nanna did a snore. That's how come we had to pull her up by her arms. And we turned a bright light in her face. The nanna yawned real big. It was not pleasant. After that, she got her robe and slippers. And she went downstairs with us. We sat at the long dining room table again. The nanna passed out cereal bowls.

“醒醒，奶奶，”格蕾丝说。 “醒醒，奶奶，”我说。奶奶打了个鼾。 所以我们才拉着她的胳膊把她拉起来。 我们用强光照她的脸。 奶奶打了个大大的哈欠。 这是不愉快的。然后，她穿上长袍和拖鞋。 她和我们一起下了楼。 我们又坐在长餐桌旁。 奶奶分发麦片碗。

"Oh, Nanna! These are the brand-new china bowls you bought in France! These are my favorites!" said Lucille. All of a sudden, I felt a knot in my stomach again. I tapped on the nanna's hand. "Yeah, only here's the problem. I think I

“哦,奶奶!这是你在法国买的全新瓷碗!这些是我的最爱!”露西尔说。 突然，我又感到胃里一阵打结。 我敲了敲奶奶的手。 “是的，但问题是。 我想我

would like to have a plastic cereal bowl. 'Cause plastic is more my style." The nanna rolled her eyes way up at the ceiling. I looked up there, too. But I didn't see anything. "I don't own any plastic cereal bowls," she said.

我想要一个塑料的麦片碗。 因为塑料更符合我的风格。” 奶奶对着天花板翻白眼。 我也抬头看了看。但我什么也没看见。 “我没有塑料麦片碗，”她说。

After that, she brought in the orange juice. And she poured it into teeny crystal glasses. I got down from my chair. "Yeah, only guess what? I think I will just stand here and not eat. Or else I might spill something again," I said. The nanna looked and looked at me. Then she went into the kitchen and she brought me back a banana. "Here. Try this," she said kind of nicer. I did a smile. Then I ate my banana very careful. And I didn't spill a drop. Mother picked me up at nine o'clock. She came into the nanna's big, beautiful house to get me. "My! What a lovely home you have here,"

然后，她把橙汁端了进来。 她把它倒进小水晶玻璃杯里。 我从椅子上站了起来。“是啊，你猜怎么着? 我想我就站在这里不吃东西了。 不然我又会洒东西的。”我说。 奶奶看了又看我。 然后她走进厨房，给我拿回来一根香蕉。 “在这里。试试这个。”她说的语气好些了。 我笑了笑。然后我很小心地吃香蕉。 我一滴也没洒。 妈妈九点钟来接我。 她走进奶奶那又大又漂亮的房子来接我。 “我的天!你的家真漂亮。”

she said to the nanna. Then Mother walked to the big bowl of beautiful flowers. And she tried to smell those lovely things. "NO! DON'T! THEY ARE JUST FOR SHOW PROBABLY!" I hollered. After that, I said good-bye to my friends. And I thanked the nanna. And I quick pulled Mother out of that house. Or else she might break something, that's why. I runned down the steps and got in my car. Then I rubbed my hand on the backseat. It was not as soft as the nanna's backseat. I smiled very relieved. "It's good to be back," I said. Mother drove down the long driveway. My stomach growled real loud. "Guess what? My tummy is still hungry for breakfast. 'Cause I didn't actually eat much

她对奶奶说。然后妈妈走向那一大碗美丽的花。 她试着去闻那些可爱的东西。 “不!不!它们可能只是作秀!”我大声喊道。 在那之后，我和我的朋友们说再见。 我感谢了奶奶。我赶紧把妈妈从房子里拉了出来。 不然她可能会打碎什么东西，这就是原因。 我跑下台阶，上了车。 然后我用手在后座上揉了揉。 它不像奶奶的后座那么软。 我笑了，松了口气。“回来真好，”我说。 母亲沿着长长的车道开车。 我的肚子咕咕叫得很响。 “你猜怎么着?我的肚子还想吃早饭。 因为我其实没吃多少
