7. Wink, Wink

7/Wink, Wink Another plan did not come easy. I thinked and thinked for a real long time. Finally, I tapped on my bestest friend Lucille. "Want to help me, Lucille?" I asked. "Want to help me figure out my secret admirer?" Lucille did mad eyes at me. "Just because you have a secret admirer doesn't mean you're prettier than me," she said very annoyed. I looked surprised at her. "I never said I was prettier, Lucille," I said. "It's just that someone in Room Nine loves me better than he loves you. And I keep on wondering who it is."

另一个计划来得并不容易。 我想了又想，想了很久。 最后，我找到了我最好的朋友露西尔。 “想帮我吗，露西尔？”我问。 “想帮我找出我的秘密仰慕者吗？”露西尔疯狂地瞪着我。 “你有个暗恋者并不意味着你就比我漂亮，”她非常恼火地说。 我惊讶地看着她。 “我从没说过我更漂亮，露西尔，”我说。 “只是九号房有人爱我胜过爱你。 我一直在想这是谁。”

Lucille leaned close to my face. "It's a cuckoo head boy, that's who it is," she said. After that, she scooted her chair to the end of the table. And she turned her head away from me. I did a mad breath at that girl. "Keep acting like that, and you'll be sweeping your own castle," I said. After that, I looked all around Room Nine. And guess who I saw? I saw Crybaby William, that's who! Crybaby William sits right behind me. And is the shyest guy I ever heard of. And so maybe he might be my secret admirer! I spinned around in my chair and waved at him. "Hello, shy boy," I said real cute.

露西尔凑近我的脸。 “这是一个杜鹃学长，就是他，”她说。 然后，她把椅子挪到桌子那头。 她转过头不看我。 我对那个女孩气了一口气。 “你再这样下去，就等着打扫你自己的城堡吧。”我说。 之后，我环视了九号房间。 猜猜我看到谁了？我看到爱哭鬼威廉了，就是他！爱哭鬼威廉就坐在我后面。 他是我听过的最害羞的人。 所以也许他就是我的暗恋者！我在椅子上转过身来，向他挥了挥手。 “你好，害羞的男孩，”我说得很可爱。

William looked nervous of me. "What do you want?" he said. I wrinkled up my nose very darling. "Yeah, only you don't even have to be shy of me anymore, William. 'Cause I think I know your secret," I said. After that, I put my chin on his table. And I winked my eye at him. Only I'm not actually good at winking. And so I have to say the words. "Wink, wink, William," I said. "Wink, wink, wink. See my eye? See how it is trying to wink at you?" William's face started to sweat.

威廉看起来很担心我。 “你想干什么？”他说。 我皱起我的鼻子很亲爱的。 “是啊，只是你再也不用怕我了，威廉。 因为我想我知道你的秘密，”我说。 在那之后，我把下巴放在他的桌子上。 我对他眨了眨眼睛。 只是我不太会眨眼。 所以我不得不说这句话。 “眨眼，眨眼，威廉，”我说。 “眨眼，眨眼，眨眼。看到我的眼睛了吗？ 看到它是怎样向你使眼色的了吗？”威廉的脸开始冒汗。

"Turn around, please," he said. I did a giggle. 'Cause that admirer boy was shyer than I thought. "You are a silly sausage, William," I said. Then I tried to tickle him under his chin. But William swatted my hand away. I tapped my fingers on the table.

“请转过去，”他说。 我咯咯地笑了。因为那个仰慕者比我想象的要害羞。 “你真是个笨蛋，威廉，”我说。 然后我试着在他下巴下面挠痒痒。 但是威廉把我的手拍开了。 我用手指轻敲桌子。

"Okay. Here's the thing, William. Swatting my hand is not actually that admiring. And so please do not do that again." After that, I tried to tickle his chin again. But this time, he ducked under the table. I did a frown. 'Cause something did not seem right here. Finally, I bended my head down and I peeked at him. "I'm going to take a wild guess here, William. You're not actually my secret admirer, are you?" I asked. "No!" said William. "No, no, no!" After that, I did a big sigh. And I turned my chair back to my own table. I looked all around Room Nine again. And guess what boy I saw next? I saw Paulie Allen Puffer, that's who! And he is always teasing me! And so maybe he is

“好吧。事情是这样的，威廉。 拍我的手可算不上欣赏。 所以请不要再这样做了。” 之后，我又试着去挠他的下巴。 但这一次，他躲到了桌子底下。 我皱了皱眉。因为这里似乎有些不对劲。 最后，我低下头偷看了他一眼。 “威廉，我要大胆猜测一下。 你不会是我的暗恋者吧？”我问。 “不！”威廉说。“不，不，不！”之后，我深深地叹了口气。 我把椅子转回到我自己的桌子上。 我又看了一遍9号房间。 猜猜我接下来看到了什么男孩？ 我看到保利·艾伦·帕弗了，就是他！他总是取笑我！也许他是

my secret admirer! I zoomed to his table speedy fast. "Wink, wink, Paulie Allen Puffer," I said. "Wink, wink, wink." "What's wrong with your eye?" he said. I puckered up my lips. And I blowed that guy a kiss. "Thank you for the beautiful valentime, Paul," I said. Paulie Allen Puffer looked strange at me. "Paul? Who's Paul? What beautiful valentine? My valentine was the one with the oozy slime monster on the front," he said. "Don't you remember it?" Just then, I made a face. 'Cause I remembered it, of course. I hurried up back to my seat again. That's when I saw a boy named Ham. And Ham hardly even knows me. And so he was

我的秘密仰慕者！我飞快地奔向他的桌子。 “眨眼，眨眼，保利·艾伦·帕弗，”我说。 “眨眼，眨眼，眨眼。”“你的眼睛怎么了？”他说。 我噘起了嘴。我给了他一个飞吻。 “谢谢你送我这么美好的情人节礼物，保罗，”我说。 保利·艾伦·帕弗奇怪地看着我。 “保罗?保罗是谁?多么美丽的情人节啊？ 他说：“我的情人节贺卡的正面是一个黏糊糊的怪物。” “你不记得了吗？”就在那时，我做了个鬼脸。 当然，因为我记得。 我又匆匆回到座位上。 就在那时，我看到了一个叫哈姆的男孩。 哈姆几乎不认识我。 所以他是
