7 The Very Special Visitors

Seven. The very special visitors SATURDAY FINALLY CAME. Harris was excited, but nervous. His parents would finally see for themselves how strange Zeke's family was. He spent most of the day helping his parents clean the house and set up for dinner.

七。星期六，特别的客人终于来了。 哈里斯很兴奋，但也很紧张。 他的父母最终会亲眼看到齐克的家庭有多奇怪。 他花了一天的大部分时间帮助他的父母打扫房子和准备晚餐。

Roxy came over early to help. "Now remember, Harris, you need to be on your best behavior," said his mom. "We want Zeke's family to feel welcome in the neighborhood."

罗克西很早就过来帮忙了。 “记住，哈里斯，你要好好表现，”他妈妈说。 “我们希望齐克的家人在这个社区感到受欢迎。”

"Nothing to worry about, Mom," said Harris, smiling. Just then, a whistling sound came from outside their front door. "What in the world is that?" asked Mr. Walker. Harris remembered Zeke's first day at school. Zeke had whistled outside the classroom door instead of knocking.

“没什么好担心的，妈妈。”哈里斯笑着说。 就在这时，一声口哨从他们的前门传来。 “那到底是什么？”沃克先生问。 哈里斯还记得齐克上学的第一天。 齐克没有敲门，而是在教室门外吹口哨。

"That's Zeke and his parents," Harris explained. "That's how people knock in Tragas!" Harris opened the door. "Come in," he said to the three of them as he suspiciously eyed the food they were carrying. Harris introduced everyone.

“那是齐克和他的父母，”哈里斯解释说。 “特拉加斯就是这样进来的！”哈里斯打开了门。 “进来。”他对三个人说，怀疑地看着他们带着的食物。 哈里斯把大家介绍给大家。

"Zeke, these are my parents," Harris said. "Welcome," said Harris's mom, extending her hand. "Rita and Felix Walker. Nice to meet you." Zeke's father stared at Mrs. Walker's outstretched hand. "I am Xad, and this is my wife, Quar," he said. Xad extended his elbow toward Mrs. Walker.

“齐克，这是我的父母，”哈里斯说。 “欢迎。”哈里斯的妈妈伸出手说。 丽塔和菲利克斯·沃克。很高兴见到你。” 齐克的父亲盯着沃克太太伸出的手。 “我是萨德，这是我的妻子夸尔，”他说。 萨德向沃克太太伸出胳膊肘。

"Um, Dad? People here don't touch elbows as a greeting," Zeke explained. "They shake hands." "Oh, I'm sorry," said Xad, reaching out and grasping Mrs. Walker's hand firmly before shaking it. "I kind of like the elbow thing," said Mr. Walker. He extended his elbow and touched Quar's elbow. They both smiled. "Why don't we have some appetizers in the living room?" said Mr. Walker.

“嗯,爸爸?这里的人不会用手肘打招呼，”齐克解释道。 “他们握手。”“哦，对不起，”萨德说着，伸出手紧紧抓住沃克太太的手，然后握了握。 “我有点喜欢肘部的东西，”沃克说。 他伸出胳膊肘，碰到了夸尔的胳膊肘。 他们都笑了。“我们为什么不在客厅里吃点开胃菜呢？”沃克先生说。
