7 Going Batty

CHAPTER 7 GOING BATTY Everyone's pretty quiet on the bus home. Penny's not talking to Eric since he struck her out five times. Derek isn't talking to Penny because she took up all of recess at bat. Randy has started figuring out our stats, and I'm dreaming about when I'll be at bat.... Z-Z-Z-Z

回家的公共汽车上每个人都很安静。 佩妮自从埃里克五次三振出局后就不跟他说话了。 德里克不和佩妮说话因为她占用了所有的休息时间。 兰迪已经开始计算我们的数据了，我梦想着我什么时候能上场.... Z-Z-Z-Z

The pitcher looks to the right, he looks to the left, he lifts his leg, he raises his arms, and he hurls the ball right over the plate. Strike one. I shake the bat on my shoulder. I stare straight at him. He looks to the right... he looks to the left. He raises his leg, lifts his arms, and hurls the ball right at me.

投手看向右边，他看向左边，他抬起腿，他举起手臂，他把球扔过本垒板。 罢工。我摇了摇肩上的球棒。 我直勾勾地盯着他。他向右看…… 他看向左边。他抬起他的腿，举起他的手臂，把球扔向我。

I close my eyes and swing with all my might. Strike two. Hey! Whose daydream is this anyway? It's not strike two—it's a hit! I feel the bat connect, there's a loud crack, and the ball is sailing up into the air. It's going, it's going, it's gone. The fans go wild as I circle the bases. YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ALRIGHT! CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! FANTASTIC! YEAH! ANSWER: 5 oz.

我闭上眼睛，用尽全力荡秋千。 第二个打击。嘿!这到底是谁的白日梦？ 这不是二振，这是安打！我感觉球棒接住了，一声巨响，球飞向空中。 它走了，它走了，它走了。 当我绕垒一圈时，球迷们都疯了。 是啊!是啊!是啊!好吧!鼓掌!鼓掌!鼓掌!太棒了!是啊!答案：5盎司。

"You're home," says Freddy, nudging me. "I know," I answer, keeping my eyes closed. OH, BROTHER. I'M ROUNDING THIRD BASE, THE CROWD IS CHANTING MY NAME... HUBIE, HUBIE, WAKE UP! I WONDER IF HE EVEN KNOWS MY NAME? COOL.

“你回家了，”弗雷迪用胳膊肘轻推我说。 “我知道，”我闭着眼睛回答。 哦,哥哥。我快到三垒了，人群在喊我的名字…… 哈比，哈比，醒醒！不知道他知不知道我的名字？ 酷。
