2. Monday

Chapter 2 Monday "You're so brave," said Casey Happleton. She sat next to Marvin in Mrs. North's class. She had a ponytail that stuck out the side of her head, instead of the back. Marvin shrugged and smiled. He didn't know why Casey thought he was brave, but he was glad she did. "Judy and I are going to come watch you," said Casey. "Watch me what? When?" "Saturday," said Casey. "When you ride your new mountain bike down Suicide Hill." Marvin felt as if he'd been kicked in the stomach. He tried not to show it. He didn't want Casey Happleton to think he was scared. "Who told you that?" he asked. "Judy," said Casey. "She said you would have ridden down last Saturday, but you got in trouble for calling your sister a stupid pest. Now you can't ride your bike for a week." Marvin didn't know how Judy Jasper knew so much

“你真勇敢，”凯西·哈普尔顿说。 在诺斯夫人的课上，她坐在马文旁边。 她的马尾辫不是梳在脑后，而是梳在脑后。 马文耸了耸肩，笑了。 他不知道为什么凯西认为他很勇敢，但他很高兴她这么做。 “朱迪和我要去看你，”凯西说。 “看我什么?”当?”“星期六，”凯西说。 “当你骑着你的新山地车冲下自杀山的时候。” 马文觉得自己的肚子好像被踢了一脚。 他尽量不表现出来。他不想让凯西·哈普尔顿觉得他害怕。 “谁告诉你的?”他问。 “朱迪，”凯西说。“她说你上星期六就骑马过来，可是你骂你妹妹是个讨厌鬼，惹上了麻烦。 现在你一个星期都不能骑自行车了。” 马文不知道朱迪·贾斯帕怎么会知道这么多

about his life. "Stuart told her," said Casey. Marvin never told Stuart he'd ride down Suicide Hill on Saturday. He just told him that he couldn't ride his bike for a week. "Marvin," said Mrs. North. "Have you been listening to anything I said?" He looked at his teacher. "Um, I'm not sure. What did you say?" Mrs. North gave Marvin the Look. At recess, Marvin asked Stuart why he told Judy that he had called his sister a stupid pest. "She asked me," said Stuart. They were playing wizzle-fish tag. "Let me get this straight," said Marvin. "Judy Jasper just came up to you and said, 'Did Marvin call his sister a stupid pest?'" "Something like that," said Stuart. "And you told her we're going to ride our bikes down Suicide Hill on Saturday?" Marvin asked. "No," said Stuart.

关于他的生活。“斯图尔特告诉她的，”凯西说。 马文从没告诉斯图尔特他周六会骑车去自杀山。 他只是告诉他一个星期不能骑自行车。 “马文，”诺斯太太说。 “你有在听我说话吗?”他看着他的老师。 “嗯，我不确定。你说什么?”诺斯太太瞪了马文一眼。 课间休息时，马文问斯图尔特为什么告诉朱迪他说他的妹妹是一个愚蠢的讨厌鬼。 “她问我的，”斯图亚特说。 他们在玩捉迷藏。 “让我把话说清楚。”马文说。 “朱迪·贾斯帕刚刚走过来对你说，‘马文是不是说他妹妹是个愚蠢的讨厌鬼?’”“差不多吧，”斯图亚特说。 “你告诉她我们星期六要骑自行车去自杀山吗?”马文问道。 “不，”斯图亚特说。

Marvin was glad about that. "I told her you were going to ride your bike down Suicide Hill. My mom won't let me." "My mom won't let me, either," complained Nick. "Just because it's dangerous or something." "But we'll come watch you," said Stuart. "You might need someone to call 911," said Nick. Marvin couldn't believe it. They were the ones who had wanted to ride down Suicide Hill, not him. He thought he remembered Nick bragging about how he'd ridden down Suicide Hill lots of times, full speed all the way. "I thought you said you've ridden down Suicide Hill," he said. "No, I never said that," said Nick. Marvin knew he was lying. He tossed a paper plate on the ground and stepped on it. Everyone had two paper plates. The paper plates were the wizzle fish. Clarence and Travis wizzled beside him. "Hey, Marvin," said Clarence. "Are you really going to ride down Suicide Hill?"

马文对此很高兴。 “我告诉她你要骑自行车去自杀山。 我妈妈不会让我去的。”“我妈妈也不让我去，”尼克抱怨道。 “就因为它很危险之类的。” “但是我们会来监视你的，”斯图亚特说。 “你可能需要有人打911，”尼克说。 马文简直不敢相信。 是他们想要从自杀山上骑下来，而不是他。 他想他记得尼克吹嘘过他是如何多次从自杀山上骑下来的，一路全速。 “我记得你说过你骑过自杀山，”他说。 “不，我从没这么说过，”尼克说。 马文知道自己在撒谎。他把一个纸盘扔在地上，然后踩了上去。 每个人都有两个纸盘。 纸盘子是烤鱼。 克拉伦斯和特拉维斯在他身边晃来晃去。 “嘿，马文，”克拉伦斯说。 “你真的要骑上自杀山吗?”

"Uh, I'm not sure." "See, I told you he was chicken!" Clarence told Travis. "We're not scared," said Nick. We? thought Marvin. "If Marvin says he'll ride down Suicide Hill, then he'll

“呃，我不确定。”“看，我告诉过你他是个胆小鬼!”克拉伦斯告诉特拉维斯。 “我们不害怕，”尼克说。 我们吗?认为马文。“如果马文说他会骑上自杀山，那他就会

ride down Suicide Hill," said Stuart. He patted Marvin on the back. But Marvin never said he'd ride down Suicide Hill, thought Marvin. "When?" demanded Clarence. "Saturday," said Nick. "At twelve o'clock." "High noon," said Stuart. "This I've got to see," said Clarence. "I'm going to get a front-row seat," said Travis. "It's going to be the biggest wipe-out in history," said Clarence. He and Travis laughed. Marvin didn't know what to do. Everything was happening too fast. He felt like he was speeding downhill, out of control, unable to stop. He wanted to scream.

从自杀山下来，”斯图亚特说。 他拍了拍马文的背。 但是马文从来没有说过他会骑着马从自杀山下来，马文想。 “什么时候?”克拉伦斯问。 “星期六，”尼克说。“十二点钟。” “正午，”斯图亚特说。“这个我一定要看看，”克拉伦斯说。 “我要坐前排，”特拉维斯说。 克拉伦斯说:“这将是历史上最大的一次毁灭。” 他和特拉维斯笑了。马文不知道该怎么办。 一切都发生得太快了。 他觉得自己在加速下坡，失去控制，无法停下来。 他想尖叫。
