10. High Atop the Spiderweb

Chapter 10 High Atop the Spiderweb "Leave me alone," said Marvin. He walked away. His friends followed. "I said leave me alone!" Everyone backed off. Marvin climbed up the giant spiderweb. The rope wiggled under his feet. The higher he got, the more the web seemed to wiggle and shake. He reached the very top and looked down at the boys and girls in his class. He was confused. He had boy thoughts. He had girl thoughts. But he didn't know which were which. Or did it matter? Was there really a difference in the

“别烦我。”马文说。 他走开了。他的朋友们紧随其后。 “我说了别来烦我!”每个人都往后退。 马文爬上了巨大的蜘蛛网。 绳子在他脚下摆动。 他爬得越高，那张网似乎摆动得越厉害。 他爬到山顶，俯视着班上的男孩和女孩。 他很困惑。他有孩子气的想法。 他有女孩子的心思。但他分不清哪个是哪个。 或者这有关系吗?真的有什么不同吗

way boys and girls thought? He didn't know. He didn't know anything. He was just very tired. He watched Stuart and Nick chase Judy and Casey. Judy sang out: "Nick is rude. Nick is crude. Nick eats dog food!" Then she ran. Nick ran after her. Then Marvin heard Casey sing: "Stuart is rude. Stuart is crude. Stuart eats dog food!" "I'm going to get you!" yelled Stuart. Stuart chased Casey across the swinging bridge. Nick chased Judy across the bridge from the other side. The girls were trapped in the middle. The boys moved in for the kill. The girls screamed.

男孩和女孩是怎么想的? 他不知道。他什么都不知道。 他只是很累。他看着斯图尔特和尼克追朱迪和凯西。 朱迪大声说:“尼克很粗鲁。 尼克很粗鲁。尼克吃狗粮!”然后她跑了。 尼克追着她跑。接着，马文听到凯西唱道:“斯图尔特很粗鲁。 斯图尔特很粗鲁。斯图尔特吃狗粮!”“我要抓住你!”斯图亚特喊道。 斯图亚特追着凯西穿过摇摆的桥。 尼克从桥的另一边追着朱迪过了桥。 女孩们被困在中间。 男孩们冲过来准备杀人。 女孩们尖叫起来。

The boys stopped. "Mrs. North!" yelled Judy. "Nick and Stuart keep bothering us." Mrs. North made Nick and Stuart sit on the bench. Marvin remembered he used to like to chase the girls too. He always thought the boys were in charge. Now he knew. The girls liked to be chased. It was a game. And the girls made all the rules. The boys could never win. Boys are so stupid, he thought. He couldn't believe he used to be that stupid, too. It was embarrassing. Suddenly his foot slipped off the rope. He almost fell, but grabbed a section of the rope just in time. He pulled himself back up. He looked around the play area. Clarence, Travis, and Kenny were hanging out. Patsy Gatsby was playing jacks. Casey and Judy were on the swings. Nick and Stuart were on the bench. Suddenly Marvin understood. "Oh my gosh!" he said. He bit his finger. It all became clear to him. He understood everything.

男孩们停了下来。“诺斯太太!”朱迪喊道。 “尼克和斯图尔特一直打扰我们。” 诺斯太太让尼克和斯图亚特坐在长凳上。 马文记得他以前也喜欢追女孩子。 他一直以为是男生说了算。 现在他知道了。女孩们喜欢被追逐。 这是一场游戏。女孩们制定了所有的规则。 男孩们永远赢不了。男孩们真笨，他想。 他不敢相信自己以前也那么蠢。 这太尴尬了。突然，他的脚从绳子上滑了下来。 他差点摔倒，但及时抓住了一段绳子。 他爬了起来。 他环视了一下游戏区。 克拉伦斯，特拉维斯和肯尼在一起。 帕齐·盖茨比在玩杰克。 凯西和朱迪在荡秋千。 尼克和斯图亚特坐在长凳上。 马文突然明白了。 “哦，我的天哪!”他说。他咬了自己的手指。 他明白了一切。 他什么都懂。

He knew what it felt like to be a boy. He knew what it felt like to be a girl. And now he knew the real difference between girls and boys. The secret difference! He knew the one secret thing boys didn't understand about girls. And he knew the one secret thing girls didn't understand about boys. It was really very simple. The secret difference between girls and boys was— Suddenly his foot slipped. He fell off the spiderweb.

他知道作为一个男孩是什么感觉。 他知道做一个女孩是什么感觉。 现在他知道男孩和女孩的真正区别了。 秘密的区别!他知道男孩不了解女孩的一个秘密。 他知道女孩不了解男孩的一个秘密。 这真的很简单。 男孩和女孩之间的秘密区别是——突然，他的脚滑了一下。 他从蜘蛛网上掉了下来。
