2 Heartichokes

CHAPTER 2 HEARTICHOKES I LOVE SCARING PEOPLE. On the school bus, Penny and Doris sit down on either side of me. They start telling me about their dolls-I'm moving! I go to the back of the bus, but they follow me. T. Rex, our bus driver, tells us to stop changing seats, so I'm stuck with them for eight blocks. What do they want? SIT DOWN! YES, SIR. OK. SORRY.

我喜欢吓唬人。 在校车上，佩妮和多丽丝坐在我的两边。 他们开始跟我讲他们的娃娃——我要动了！我走到公共汽车的后面，但他们跟着我。 我们的巴士司机雷克斯霸王龙让我们不要换座位，所以我被困在他们身边八个街区。 他们想要什么？坐下来!是的,先生。 好的。对不起。

"Who are you going to give a valentine to Hubie?" asks Doris, fluttering her eyelashes at me. The heart is out of the bag. "I don't know," I answer "My name has two n's," says Penny. Now she flutters her eyelashes at me. "I know," I reply. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR EYES?

“你打算把情人节礼物送给谁？”多丽丝问，她朝我眨了眨睫毛。 心脏在袋子里。 “我不知道，”我回答。“我的名字有两个n，”佩妮说。 现在她对我眨着睫毛。 “我知道，”我回答。你的眼睛怎么了？

I LOVE EATING SPIDERS. "My name doesn't have any n's," blurts Doris. "That's nice," I answer. Luckily we arrive at my stop and I bolt for the door. I'm out and still single. They're both waving and winking at me from the back window as the bus pulls away. The pressure has already started. THAT WAS CLOSE. I KNOW.

我喜欢吃蜘蛛。“我的名字里没有n，”多丽丝脱口而出。 “那很好，”我回答。幸运的是，我们到站了，我向门口飞奔而去。 我出柜了，还是单身。当巴士开走时，他们都从后窗向我挥手、使眼色。 压力已经开始显现。 好险啊。我知道。
