3 Matters of the Heart

CHAPTER 3 MATTERS OF THE HEART As soon as I get home, I explain the situation to my mom. She says that I should be flattered that they fluttered. "But, Mom, I can't give both of them a card," I say. "It would be big-of-me." BUT, MOM.

我一回到家，就把情况告诉了妈妈。 她说我应该为他们的行为感到荣幸。 “但是，妈妈，我不能给他们俩一张卡片，”我说。 “这对我来说太大了。”但是,妈妈。

"When I was a little girl, I had a crush on Henry Stillman," replies Mom." I followed him around everywhere. Then, on Valentine's Day, he gave a card to Nancy Dringle. It broke my heart —until I got a card from Freddy Farkle. I didn't even know he liked me."

“当我还是个小女孩的时候，我迷恋上了亨利·斯蒂尔曼，”妈妈回答说。 我到处跟着他。 然后，在情人节那天，他给了南希·德林格尔一张卡片。 我的心都碎了——直到我收到弗雷迪·弗科寄来的卡片。 我甚至不知道他喜欢我。”

"What happened?" I ask. "He was hurt because I didn't give him a card." "It sounds like a mess," I say. "It's called love, Hubie."

“发生什么事了?”我问。“他很受伤，因为我没有给他名片。” “听起来像一团糟，”我说。 “这就是爱，胡比。”
