6 Ch6-Giant Bananas and Two-headed Astronauts

Chapter 6 Giant Bananas and Two-headed Astronauts This was the first Halloween that me and Michael and Ryan were allowed to go trick-or-treating without our parents. We went home to drop off our backpacks and get pillowcases to hold all the candy. Then we met up again at Michael's house. "Let's go!" Ryan said. "If I don't eat a

第6章大香蕉和双头宇航员这是我、迈克尔和瑞恩第一次在没有父母的情况下被允许去玩“不给糖就捣蛋”的万圣节。 我们回家放下背包，拿枕套装糖果。 然后我们在迈克尔家又见面了。 “我们走吧!”瑞恩说。“如果我不吃。

Twizzler in about five minutes, I'm gonna die." "Not so fast," Michael said, opening up a big map he had drawn. "I worked it all out so we'll have the maximum candy accumulation." Wow! Big words. Michael should be in the gifted and talented program. Me and Ryan looked at Michael's map. Michael doesn't like to just walk up and down the street collecting candy like a normal kid. He always plans a careful route so he can go to all the houses that have good candy and not waste any time at the houses where people turn off their lights and pretend they're not home. Michael is weird.

扭滋乐再过五分钟，我就要死了" “别着急，”迈克尔说着，打开他画的一张大地图。 “我都算出来了，这样我们就能最大限度地积累糖果。” 哇!大的单词。迈克尔应该在天才班。 我和瑞恩看了看迈克尔的地图。 迈克尔不喜欢像普通孩子一样在街上走来走去收集糖果。 他总是精心规划一条路线，这样他就可以去所有有好糖果的房子，而不是在那些人们关灯假装不在家的房子里浪费时间。 迈克尔很奇怪。

"We'll save Mrs. Patty's house for last," Michael said. "She says she has more candy than anybody in town. Let's go!" I was thinking about what Mrs. Patty said earlier at school. "Do you think there really is a Halloween Monster?" I asked the guys as we headed up the street. "Of course not," Michael said. "Mrs.

“我们把帕蒂夫人的房子留到最后，”迈克尔说。 “她说她的糖果比镇上任何人都多。 我们走吧!”我在想帕蒂夫人之前在学校说的话。 “你认为真的有万圣节怪兽吗?”我们沿街前行时，我问他们。 “当然不是，”迈克尔说。 “夫人。

Patty was just yanking our chain." "We'd better be careful just in case," Ryan said. We set off on our candy quest. There were lots of kids in weird costumes walking up and down the street. Giraffes! Darth Vaders! Two-headed astronauts! Princesses! Cowboys! Ghosts! Four kids dressed up as a bunch of giant bananas! What a freak show! We saw teenagers dressed up like bums. Teenagers always dress up like bums on Halloween. That must be an easy costume to make, because teenagers dress like bums even when it isn't Halloween. "Trick or treat!" we shouted when we

帕蒂只是在拉我们的链子。” “我们最好小心点，以防万一，”瑞安说。 我们开始寻找糖果。 有许多穿着奇装异服的孩子在街上走来走去。 长颈鹿!达斯·维德!双头宇航员!公主!牛仔!鬼!四个孩子装扮成一串大香蕉!真是个变态的表演!我们看到青少年打扮成流浪汉。 青少年在万圣节总是打扮得像个流浪汉。 这一定很容易理解，因为即使不是万圣节，青少年也会穿得像个流浪汉。 “不给糖就捣蛋!

got to the first house on Michael's map. A lady opened the door. "Ooh, you boys are scary!" she said, even though she totally didn't look scared at all. "What are you supposed to be?" "We're a zombie football player, a zombie hockey player, and a killer zombie penguin," Michael said. "From outer space," I added. "You can each have a piece of candy," the lady said, holding a bucket out for us. "Can we take two?" I asked, grabbing a Milky Way. "Well, okay..." "Can we take four?" I asked, grabbing a Butterfinger.

到了迈克尔地图上的第一所房子。 一位女士开了门。“哦，你们这些男孩真可怕!”她说，尽管她看起来一点也不害怕。 “你应该是什么?”“我们是一个僵尸足球运动员，一个僵尸曲棍球运动员，一个杀手僵尸企鹅，”迈克尔说。 “来自外太空，”我补充道。 “你们每个人都可以吃一块糖，”女士说着，递给我们一桶糖。 “我们能带两个吗?”我问，抓了个银河。 “好吧,好吧……”“我们能坐四个人吗?”我问，抓了个黄油手指。

"No," the lady said, pulling back the bucket. That lady was mean. We went to the next house and got candy there. Then we went to the house around the corner and got candy there. Before we went to the next house, each of us took a piece of candy out of our pillowcase and ate it. There's no reason you have to wait until the end of trick-or-treating to start eating your candy. You need to start eating your candy right away, so you'll have enough energy to get more candy. That's the first rule of being a kid. Michael led us a few blocks away to the

“不，”女士说着把水桶拉了回来。 那位女士很刻薄。我们去了隔壁家，在那里买了糖果。 然后我们去了拐角处的房子，在那里买了糖果。 在我们去下一个家之前，我们每个人都从枕套里拿出一块糖果吃了。 你没有理由非要等到“不给糖就捣蛋”游戏结束后才开始吃糖果。 你需要马上开始吃你的糖果，这样你就有足够的能量去吃更多的糖果。 这是当孩子的第一准则。 迈克尔带我们走了几个街区，来到
