7. Knock Knock

7/Knock Knock I sat down next to Handsome Warren. "Guess what? I'm not even going to bother you," I said. "I'm just going to sit here. And mind my own personal beeswax. And that's all." I thought a little bit. "Plus here's another good thing. You don't even have to look at my princess clothes if you don't want to. 'Cause clothes is not how I make friends," I said. Handsome Warren didn't move. I looked at his head. "Guess what? There's something in your hair," I told him. I looked harder at that thing.

我坐在英俊的沃伦旁边。 “你猜怎么着?我甚至不想打扰你，”我说。 “我就坐在这里。 管好我自己的私事。 就是这样。”我想了一下。 “另外，还有一件好事。 如果你不想看我的公主服，你甚至都不用看。 因为衣服不是我交朋友的方式，”我说。 英俊的沃伦没有动。 我看着他的头。“你猜怎么着? 你的头发里有东西，”我告诉他。 我更仔细地看了看那东西。

"I think it's a teeny leaf. Or else maybe it's a piece of Kleenex," I said. He still didn't move. "Want me to brush it off for you?" I asked. "'Cause that would not be any trouble. And I would be happy to do it." I waited very patient for him to answer. Then I tapped on him some more. "Yeah, only I really think you should do something," I said. "'Cause what if somebody blowed their nose on a teeny Kleenex? And then it flied in the wind. And got stuck in your hair. Did you ever think of that? Huh? 'Cause that would not be pleasant." He didn't answer. "Whoever wants me to get the Kleenex out of his hair, raise your hand," I said. All of a sudden, Handsome Warren uncovered his angry face.

“我认为这是一片小小的叶子。 或者它可能是一块面巾纸，”我说。 他仍然没有动。“要我帮你刷一下吗?”我问。 “因为那不会有任何麻烦。 我很乐意这样做。” 我非常耐心地等着他回答。 然后我又敲了他几下。 “是的，只是我真的认为你应该做点什么，”我说。 “因为如果有人用小面巾纸擤鼻涕怎么办?” 然后它在风中飞翔。 卡在你的头发上了。 你想过吗? 嗯?因为那样会很不愉快。” 他没有回答。“谁想让我把面巾纸从他头发上拿开，请举手，”我说。 突然，英俊的沃伦露出了他愤怒的脸。

"I thought you weren't going to talk!" he hollered. "I thought you were going to mind your own personal beeswax!" I smiled very cute. "Yeah, only I am minding my own personal beeswax, Warren," I said. "I just needed to tell you about the teeny Kleenex. And so now I'm all done talking. Period. The end." Handsome Warren rolled his eyes way up at the sky. He covered up with his arms again. I waited some more. "Okay, here's the problem," I said. "The teeny Kleenex is still there. And so how would you like me to handle this?" Handsome Warren put his hands over his ears. "Stop it!" he yelled. "Stop talking to me! Why are you sitting here anyway? Why don't

“我还以为你不打算说话呢!”他喊道。 “我还以为你会管好你自己的事呢!”我笑得很可爱。 “是啊，只是我在管我自己的事，沃伦，”我说。 “我只是想告诉你关于小面巾纸的事。 现在我就不说了。 时期。最后。”英俊的沃伦瞪大眼睛望着天空。 他又用胳膊把自己盖住了。 我又等了一会儿。“好吧，问题来了，”我说。 “小面巾纸还在那里。 那么你希望我怎么处理这件事呢?”英俊的沃伦用手捂住耳朵。 “住手!”他喊道。“别跟我说话!”你为什么坐在这里? 为什么不

you just go with your stupid friends and leave me alone?" "'Cause I am being nice, that's why," I said. "Plus also I am understanding your feelings. On account of Mother said that is how I make friends." Handsome Warren did a grouchy face. "I'm not your friend," he said. "I don't have any friends at this school. All my friends were at my other school. But then my dad made me move here. And now nothing is the same. I hate this place! I hate it! I hate it!" Then he quick hided his head in his knees again. And he started to cry. He tried to be quiet. Only I still could hear him sniffling in there. It made me feel sad inside. I patted him very gentle.

你就跟你那些愚蠢的朋友一起走，把我一个人留在这儿?”“因为我很友善，这就是原因。”我说。 “另外，我也理解你的感受。 因为妈妈说我就是这样交朋友的。” 英俊的沃伦一脸不高兴。 “我不是你的朋友，”他说。 “我在这所学校没有朋友。 我所有的朋友都在另一所学校。 但后来我爸让我搬来这里。 现在一切都不一样了。 我讨厌这个地方!我讨厌它!我讨厌它!”然后他又迅速把头埋在膝盖里。 他哭了起来。他试图保持安静。 只是我还能听到他在里面抽泣。 这让我内心感到悲伤。 我轻轻地拍了拍他。

"Sorry, Warren. Sorry you feel bad. Sorry. Sorry," I said real soft. Just then a good idea popped in my head. "Hey. I know. Maybe I can get you a Band- Aid. Would you like that, Warren? 'Cause sometimes Band-Aids make things better… "Or else here's another good idea. Maybe I could tickle you. 'Cause tickling makes you laugh, right? And so I would be glad to give it a try." I jiggled him. "Want to try on my golden crown, Warren? Huh? Want to? 'Cause a golden crown makes you feel like a million bucks." I took it off to give to him. He didn't take it. I put my golden crown on the ground. Then I took off my princess collar and my Cinderella gloves. And I put them on the

“对不起,沃伦。对不起，你感觉不好。 对不起。对不起，”我温柔地说。 就在这时，一个好主意突然出现在我的脑海里。 “嘿。我知道。也许我可以给你拿个创可贴。 你喜欢吗，沃伦? 因为有时候创可贴会让事情变得更好……”或者这是另一个好主意。 也许我可以挠你痒痒。因为挠痒痒会让你笑，对吧? 所以我很乐意试一试。” 我摇了摇他。“想试试我的金冠吗，沃伦?” 嗯?想要吗?因为一顶金冠会让你感觉自己像个百万富翁。” 我把它摘下来给他了。 他没有拿。我把我的金冠放在地上。 然后我摘下公主领和灰姑娘手套。 我把它们放在

ground, too. After that, I sat very still. And I listened to Warren being sad. Finally I did a sigh. And I tried my very last idea. "Knock knock," I said. Handsome Warren didn't answer. "Knock knock," I said a little bit louder. Then I kept on saying knock knock, until that guy got sick of it. "OH, ALL RIGHT! WHO'S THERE?" he grouched. "Hatch," I said. "Hatch who?" said Handsome Warren. "HA HA! MADE YOU SNEEZE! GET IT, WARREN? GET IT? YOU SAID HATCHOO! DO YOU GET IT? "Knock knock," I said again.

地面。在那之后，我静静地坐着。 我听着沃伦的悲伤。 最后我叹了口气。我试了最后一个主意。 “敲，敲，”我说。英俊的沃伦没有回答。 “敲，敲，”我说得更大声了一点。 然后我不停地叫，直到那家伙烦透了。 “哦，好吧!”谁在那儿?”他抱怨道。 “哈奇，”我说。“孵谁?”英俊的沃伦说。 “哈哈!让你打喷嚏了!明白了吗，沃伦? 明白了吗?你说的是蛋!你明白了吗? “敲，敲，”我又说了一遍。
