12 Ch12-Good-by to Mrs. Cooney

Chapter 12 Good-bye to Mrs. Cooney Mrs. Cooney promised that she would turn herself in to the police if we let her drive us home. First she dropped off Emily at her house. Next she dropped off Andrea at her house. Then she dropped off Michael at his house. Then she dropped off Ryan at his house. And

库尼太太答应，如果我们让她开车送我们回家，她就向警察自首。 她先把艾米丽送到她家。 接着，她把安德里亚送到她家。 然后她把迈克尔送到他家。 然后把莱恩送到他家。 和

finally she pulled up to my house. Mrs. Cooney put on the emergency brake and turned to face me. She put her hand on my shoulder. I knew what was going to happen next. She was going to try and kiss me! That's what always happens in the movies, right? Every time a boy and a girl are alone in a car at night, they start kissing. It happens every time.

最后她把车停在了我家。 库尼太太踩下紧急刹车，转过身来面对着我。 她把手放在我的肩上。 我知道接下来会发生什么。 她想吻我!电影里总是这样，对吧? 每当一个男孩和一个女孩晚上单独在车里，他们就开始接吻。 这种事每次都会发生。

Yuck! I didn't care how beautiful Mrs. Cooney was. I didn't care how much Mrs. Cooney's eyes looked like cotton candy. No way I was going to kiss her. Kissing is disgusting! "Mrs. Cooney," I said, "there's something we need to talk about." "What is it?" she asked. "I can't marry you," I said. "Huh?" she said. "But—" "Pleases don't beg," I said. "I had to choose between love and country. It was the hardest decision I ever had to make. But I decided that I can't betray my country to marry a spy and a traitor." Mrs. Cooney stared at me for a while,

讨厌的东西!我不在乎库尼太太有多漂亮。 我不在乎库尼太太的眼睛有多像棉花糖。 我不可能亲她的。 接吻真恶心!“夫人。 “库尼，”我说，“有些事我们得谈谈。” “什么事?”她问。“我不能嫁给你，”我说。 “嗯?”她说。“可是——”“请不要乞求，”我说。 “我必须在爱和国家之间做出选择。 这是我做过的最艰难的决定。 但我决定，我不能背叛我的国家——试图嫁给一个间谍和叛徒。” 库尼太太盯着我看了一会儿，

like she didn't know what to say. Then she looked all sad. I thought she might even cry, "A.J.," she said. "I understand. I'll survive... somehow." She gave me a hug, and I got out of the car. The future is going to be hard for both of us. Mrs. Cooney may have to spend the rest of her life in jail for what she did. And me,

好像她不知道该说什么。 然后她看起来很悲伤。我还以为她会哭呢，“aj，”她说。 “我明白了。我会活下来的…… 不知怎么的。”她给了我一个拥抱，我下了车。 未来对我们俩来说都很艰难。 库尼夫人可能要为她的所作所为在监狱里度过余生。 和我,

well, somehow I'll have to get on with my life without her. I think we can both do it. But it won't be easy!

好吧，不管怎样，我得继续过没有她的生活。 我想我们都能做到。 但这并不容易!
