TREEMENDOUS Diary of a Not Yet Mighty Oak

一棵还不强壮的橡树的巨大日记

YEAR 1, DAY 1 APRIL 5 Hello, world! They say that from the smallest acorn, the mightiest oak tree grows. I hope that's true.

第一年，第一天4月5日你好，世界！人们说，最小的橡子会长出最大的橡树。 我希望这是真的。

YEAR 2 • APRIL 5 I'm turning one today! Oh, how I wish to be a tree like all my relatives in the forest. That's my grandmother over there. And those are my aunts and uncles. Of course, there are other families in the forest, too, like: the Walnuts (they're a little nutty, if you ask me), the Florals (which have a certain buzz about them), and the Pines (that one family who always goes overboard with Christmas decorations). Though the forest is filled with trees, I mainly hang out with my brothers and sisters. We're just an average family-all 10,000 of us. My twigmates and I are especially close sometimes too close. Ugh, scootch over!

4月5日今天是我的一岁生日！哦，我多么希望成为一棵树，就像我在森林里的所有亲戚一样。 那边是我奶奶。 那是我的叔叔阿姨。 当然，森林里也有其他的家族，比如：核桃（如果你问我的话，它们有点坚果），花（它们有一定的嗡嗡声）和松树（一个总是在圣诞节装饰上过分的家族）。 虽然森林里到处都是树，但我主要还是和我的兄弟姐妹们一起出去玩。 我们只是一个普通的家庭，一万个家庭成员。 我的同伴和我特别亲密，有时太亲密了。 啊，让开！

SEPTEMBER 22 It's getting cooler. One by one— plink!—my brothers and sisters fall, until finally... Whee! It's myyyyyy tuuuuuurn! Um, now what? SEPTEMBER 24 By Mom's side, we have it made in the shade! But each of us must find our own place in the sun.

天气越来越凉了。 一个接一个——叮！-我的兄弟姐妹倒下了，直到最后… 哟!这是我的！嗯，现在怎么办？ 在妈妈身边，我们在阴凉处做了它！但我们每个人都必须在阳光下找到自己的位置。

OCTOBER 10 I catch a ride with a furry friend. NOVEMBER 1 Oh, no! I've lost my cap. And where is that squirrel, anyway? It hid me and then never came back. Worst game of hide-and-seek ever! Sigh. Might as well snuggle in and catch some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZS.

10月10日我搭了一只毛茸茸的朋友的便车。 哦，不！我的帽子丢了。 那只松鼠到底在哪儿？ 它把我藏了起来，再也没有回来。 史上最糟糕的捉迷藏游戏！叹息。 不妨依偎在里面，享受一些zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz。

YEAR 3 • MARCH 23 I'm rested and ready for spring. In fact, I'm bursting with energy! Whoa! I did it! I sprouted! Root? Check. Stem? Check. Leaves? Check. Check. Check. Hey, I'm growing right next to Grandma. And one of the Pine seedlings. The three of us spend our days soaking up the sun! Ah, that's the stuff!

3月23日我休息好了，准备好迎接春天。 事实上，我充满了活力！哇!我做到了！我发芽!根? 检查。干吗?检查。叶子吗? 检查。检查。检查。嘿，我就长在奶奶旁边。 还有一棵松树苗。 我们三个整天都在晒太阳！啊，就是这个！
