7 Chapter 7

Chapter 7 "Oh no!" he cried. "I'm disgusting! I'm as gross as everyone says I am!" He went into the bathroom and wiped his finger with a tissue. Then he washed his hands using plenty of soap and water. He stayed in his room all afternoon. He stared at his report card, then turned to General Jackson, his pet lizard. "Well, at least it's true now," he told the General. "I'm the most disgusting kid in the whole world."

第七章“啊，不!” “我真恶心!我和大家说的一样恶心!”他走进浴室，用纸巾擦了擦手指。 然后他用大量的肥皂和水洗手。 他整个下午都呆在房间里。 他盯着自己的成绩单，然后转向杰克逊将军，他的宠物蜥蜴。 “好吧，至少现在是真的了，”他对将军说。 “我是世界上最恶心的孩子。”

General Jackson stuck out his tongue. Marvin took his report card downstairs. His family was in the den watching TV.

杰克逊将军伸出了舌头。 马文把成绩单拿到楼下。 他的家人在书房里看电视。

"Here's my report card," Marvin said, then threw it on the floor. He walked out. "Wait a second!" said his mother. He stopped. "Come back here." He dragged his feet back into the den. "Now what did I do?" he asked. "Pick it up," said his father. The report card lay on the blue and white rug. "No," said Marvin. "Your father asked you to pick it up," said his mother. "You pick it up," said Marvin. His mother stared at him. He stared right back at her. He didn't know why he was doing this. He got his

“这是我的成绩单，”马文说，然后把它扔在地板上。 他走了出去。“等一下!”他妈妈说。 他停住了。“回来。” 他拖着脚回到洞里。 “现在我做了什么?”他问。 “把它捡起来，”他的父亲说。 成绩单放在蓝白相间的地毯上。 “不，”马文说。“你爸爸让你把它捡起来的，”他妈妈说。 “你把它捡起来。”马文说。 他母亲盯着他。他也盯着她。 他不知道自己为什么要这么做。 他得到了

parents mad at him before they even saw his report card. But what could you expect from the most disgusting kid in the world? Linzy picked it up. "Here, Marvin," she said. He took it from Linzy and handed it to his mother. Jacob looked at Marvin and slowly shook his head. "Can I go now?" Marvin asked. "No," said his father. He watched his mother read the report card. Then she handed it to his father. "What happened, Marvin?" his mother asked. His father was still reading it. "Nothing." "Something happened," his mother said. "I know you got in some sort of fight with Nick and Stuart. I thought it would pass. I figured you'd be friends again by now." "We didn't get in a fight," said Marvin. "They just don't like me." "Why not?" asked his father. "Because I'm disgusting. I'm the most disgusting kid in school!" His father read aloud from the report card. jmkfho.

父母还没看到他的成绩单就对他大发雷霆。 但你能从世界上最恶心的孩子身上期待什么呢? 林兹把它捡起来。“给，马文。”她说。 他从林兹手里拿过来，递给他妈妈。 雅各布看着马文，慢慢地摇了摇头。 “我现在可以走了吗?”马文问道。 “不，”他的父亲说。他看着妈妈读成绩单。 然后她把它递给了他的父亲。 “发生什么事了，马文?”他妈妈问。 他的父亲还在读这本书。 “没什么。”“出事了，”他妈妈说。 “我知道你跟尼克和斯图尔特吵了一架。 我以为它会过去的。我以为你们现在又会是朋友了。” “我们没有打架，”马文说。 “他们就是不喜欢我。” “为什么不呢?”父亲问。 “因为我很恶心。我是学校里最恶心的孩子!”他的父亲大声朗读着成绩单。

behavior … Unsanitary habits. What did you do?" "I picked my nose!" Marvin shouted. "I'm the world's biggest nose picker!" Jacob cracked up. "Sorry, Mar," he said. "It's okay," said Marvin. "Everyone at school laughs at me too." "Do you want to tell us about it?" asked his mother. "There's nothing to tell," said Marvin. "I'm nine years old, and my life is ruined forever. Just because Clarence hit the ball over the line." He told them what happened, from the wall-ball game up until his report card. "Now even Mrs. North thinks I pick my nose." "What about Nick and Stuart," said his mother. "Surely they must know—" "They're afraid that if they stick up for me, then everybody will say that they pick their noses too!" "Well, if that's how they feel, then they're not really your friends," said his father. "Great," said Marvin. "I have no friends." "Maybe we should talk to Mrs. North," suggested

不卫生的习惯。 你做了什么?”“我挖鼻孔了!”马文喊道。 “我是世界上最大的挖鼻人!”雅各布大笑起来。 “对不起，妈妈，”他说。“没关系，”马文说。 “学校里的每个人也都嘲笑我。” “你想告诉我们这件事吗?”他的母亲问。 “没什么好说的。”马文说。 “我今年9岁，我的生活被永远毁了。 就因为克拉伦斯把球打过了线" 他告诉他们发生了什么，从壁球比赛到他的成绩单。 “现在连诺斯太太都认为我挖鼻孔了。” “尼克和斯图亚特怎么办?”他妈妈说。 “他们肯定知道——”“他们害怕如果他们替我说话，大家就会说他们也挖鼻孔!”“好吧，如果那是他们的感觉，那么他们就不是你真正的朋友。”他的父亲说。 “太好了。”马文说。“我没有朋友。” “也许我们应该和诺斯太太谈谈。

Marvin's mother. "And tell her you don't pick your nose." "She won't believe you," said Marvin. "The more you say you don't pick your nose, the more everyone thinks you do!" His parents looked at each other. "Jacob," said his mother. "You're close to Marvin's age. Has anything like this ever happened to you?" Jacob thought a moment. "I remember when I was in the third grade," he said. "There was this new kid. Larry Clarksdale. Everyone used to pick on him." "What happened?" asked his mother. "Uh, never mind," said Jacob. "What?" asked Marvin. "Well, I used to pick on him too," Jacob admitted. "I remember I once told everyone that Larry still wore diapers. He had to show everyone his underpants to prove he didn't." "That's awful," said his mother. "I know," said Jacob. "I still feel bad when I think about it." "So what happened to Larry?" asked his mother.

马文的母亲。“告诉她你不挖鼻孔。” “她不会相信你的。”马文说。 “你越是说你不挖鼻孔，别人就越觉得你挖鼻孔!”他的父母面面相觑。 “雅各布，”他妈妈说。“你和马文差不多大。 你遇到过这样的事吗?”雅各布想了一会儿。 “我记得我上三年级的时候，”他说。 “有个新来的孩子。拉里·克拉。 以前每个人都找他的茬。” “发生什么事了?”他妈妈问。 “呃，没关系，”雅各布说。 “什么?”马文问。“嗯，我过去也常捉弄他，”雅各布承认。 “我记得我曾经告诉大家，拉里仍然穿着尿布。 他不得不给每个人看他的内裤来证明他没有。” “太可怕了，”他妈妈说。 “我知道，”雅各布说。“一想到这件事，我还是觉得很难过。” “那拉里后来怎么样了?”他妈妈问。
