9 Competitive Colin

Competitive COLIN COLIN CLONT HATED BEING SHORT. He felt everyone was looking down on him the whole time. In fairness to them, they couldn't help it. Every night Colin would lie in bed and curse his parents for being short and making him short.

好胜的科林科林·克朗特讨厌个子矮。 他觉得大家一直都在看不起他。 说句公道话，他们也没办法。 每天晚上科林都会躺在床上诅咒他的父母，因为他们矮，也让他矮。

"It's not fair! Blast my titchy mum and dad. Because of them I will never be tall," he would say to himself. "But I will show everyone that I am a giant among men!" Colin had to win at everything. Rules and fair play meant nothing to him. He had to be the winner. Number one. Because he was so competitive, Colin was not good company. When playing Pass the Parcel at parties, he would never, ever let go of the parcel, even if the grown-up in charge spun it round the room to try to get him off it. "I am not letting go!" For Musical Chairs he was even worse. Colin would stick a chair to the bottom of his trousers with superglue at the start of the game so he couldn't lose. "I am the winner!"

“这不公平！”该死我的小奶妈和小奶妈。 因为他们，我永远长不高，”他会对自己说。 “但我会让大家看到我是人类中的巨人！”科林每件事都要赢。 规则和公平竞争对他来说毫无意义。 他必须成为赢家。第一。 因为他太好胜了，科林不是个好伙伴。 在聚会上玩“传递包裹”的游戏时，他永远也不会放开那个包裹，即使负责的大人在房间里转来转去想把他弄下来。 “我不会放手的！”在《抢椅子游戏》中，他表现得更糟。 科林会在比赛开始时用强力胶把椅子粘在裤子底部，这样他就不会输了。 “我赢了！”

Once in a game of Hide-and-Seek the boy hid in a chest of drawers for a whole week because he was so adamant he would never be found, and that he'd be crowned Hide-and-Seek Champion forever. "Ha! Ha!" Colin would watch TV quiz shows and memorise the answers. Then he would watch them on repeat with his parents and shout out all the answers before they could. "I AM THE CLEVEREST!" If the boy was taking part in a three-legged race, he would borrow his grandma's wooden leg and strap that to his own leg. That way he wouldn't be slowed down by being tied to anyone else. "I won gold! Here's your leg back, Granny!" he would shout as he hurled it across the playing field at her, causing her to topple to the ground. "OOF!"

在一次捉迷藏的游戏中，这个男孩在一个五斗橱里藏了整整一个星期，因为他如此坚定，他永远不会被找到，他将永远被加冕为捉迷藏的冠军。 “哈!哈!”科林会看电视上的智力竞赛节目并记住答案。 然后他会和他的父母一起重复看这些问题，在他们知道之前把所有的答案都喊出来。 “我是最聪明的！”如果这个男孩要参加三条腿的比赛，他会借用他奶奶的木腿，把它绑在自己的腿上。 这样他就不会因为和别人绑在一起而放慢速度。 “我赢了金牌！”奶奶，你的腿回来了！”他一边喊一边把腿扔向赛场另一边的她，结果她摔倒在地。 “呕!”

If Colin was losing badly at a board game, the boy would simply kick the board and all the counters UP in the air, and pretend it was an accident as he crossed his legs. BASH! "Let's just say I won that one." In sack races Colin would cunningly conceal a mini-motorbike under his sack and zoom past the other children. BRUAAD: When playing Musical Statues, Colin would dip himself in cement and let it dry first. That way he couldn't move a muscle and would win the game. The downside was that he would have to be smashed out of the cement afterwards with a sledgehammer. "Ouch!"

如果科林在棋盘游戏中输得很惨，这个男孩就会把棋盘和所有的计数器踢到空中，然后假装这是一次意外，他翘起双腿。 BASH !“就当是我赢了吧。” 在麻袋赛跑中，科林会狡猾地把一辆小型摩托车藏在麻袋下面，然后飞快地超过其他孩子。 布鲁阿德：演音乐雕像的时候，科林会先把自己浸在水泥里，让它先干。 这样他就可以一动也不动，赢得比赛。 这样做的缺点是，之后他必须用大锤从水泥中砸出来。 “哎哟!”

In exams Colin would make sure he came top of the class every time by using a mini-microphone, an earpiece and a boy with a pile of textbooks outside, who he had bribed with chocolate. "A HUNDRED PER CENT AGAIN!" In running races at school Colin would bring his own starter pistol along. This he would only fire once he had crossed the finish line. "I won!" BANG! In football matches Colin would tie the ball to his boot so he never had to pass it, and it would be impossible for anyone else other than him to score. "GOAL!"

考试时，科林为了确保自己每次都是全班第一，他会用一个迷你麦克风、一个耳机和一个拿着一堆课本的男孩在外面，他用巧克力贿赂了他。 “又是百分之百！”在学校赛跑时，柯林会带上自己的发令枪。 只有当他越过终点线时，他才会开火。 “我赢了!”砰!在足球比赛中，科林会把球绑在他的靴子上，这样他就不用传球了，除了他，任何人都不可能得分。 “目标!”
