9. Blood Test

Chapter 9 Blood Test Marvin waited with all the other red-haired boys. He thought about what Linzy had said. “They’re all exactly like you, Marvin!” He knew that wasn’t true. He was different. Special. He was the one and only Prince Robert. He looked at his slip of paper. 812 He noticed one of the other boys had a yellow number. Everyone else’s was black, like his. “Eight eleven,” called the man in the white coat. Marvin watched the nasty woman drag Arnold through

马文和其他红发男孩一起等着。 他想了想琳姿说的话。 “他们都跟你一模一样，马文!”他知道那不是真的。 他与众不同。特别的。 他是唯一的罗伯特王子。 他看了看他的纸条。 他注意到另一个男孩的号码是黄色的。 其他人都是黑色的，和他一样。 “8点11分，”穿白大褂的人叫道。 马文看着那个讨厌的女人把阿诺德拖了过去

the door. “I don’t want to get a shot!” Arnold screamed. A short while later the man returned. “Eight twelve.” Marvin stood up. Jennifer smiled and waved to him. He walked through the door. Marvin watched the man unwrap a new needle. Then he looked away. If he didn’t watch, it didn’t hurt. The man stuck the needle into Marvin’s arm. Once it was in, it was okay to look. Marvin watched his blood flow out of his arm and slowly fill the tube. It felt weird watching his own blood.

了门。“我不想打针!”阿诺德尖叫。 过了一会儿，那人回来了。 “八百一十二”。马文站了起来。 詹妮弗微笑着向他挥手。 他走进了门。 马文看着那个人打开一根新针头。 然后他把目光移开。就算他不看，也不会疼。 那人把针扎进了马文的胳膊。 一旦放进去，就可以看了。 马文看着他的血液从手臂流出，慢慢地填满管子。 看着自己的血感觉很奇怪。

“Thank you,” Marvin said when the man was through. “What?” asked the man. “Oh. You’re welcome.”

“谢谢你，”马文说。 “什么?那人问。 “哦。欢迎你。”

Marvin took his tube of blood through another door to the lab. He saw his number, 812, typed on the outside of the tube. He gave the tube to a woman with glasses, then waited while she examined his blood. She returned a short time later and handed him a new slip of paper. On it was written: 812 O negative Royal blood!

马文拿着他的血管穿过另一扇门来到实验室。 他看到自己的电话号码812被打在了地铁的外面。 他把试管给了一个戴眼镜的女人，然后等着她检查他的血液。 过了一会儿，她回来了，递给他一张新的纸条。 上面写着:812o阴性皇室血统!
