10 Trick or Treat!

Ten trick or treat. "I DIDN'T WIN," ZEKE SAID, sounding surprised and a little disappointed. "Sure you did," said Roxy. "Just because you didn't come in first doesn't mean you're not a winner." "I'm happy," said Harris, pulling off his robot head. "I never won anything before. This is so cool!"

不给糖就捣蛋。“我没赢，”齐克说，听起来很惊讶，还有点失望。 “当然了，”罗克西说。 “仅仅因为你没有获得第一名并不意味着你不是赢家。” “我很高兴。”哈里斯说着，摘下了他的机器人头。 “我以前从来没有赢得过什么。 这太酷了！”

Roxy smiled. "And Roxy," Harris continued. "I promise, next year, the three of us will make our costumes together." "Yeah, and maybe next year, the three of us will win the top three spots!" said Roxy.

罗克西笑了。“还有罗克西，”哈里斯继续说。 “我保证，明年，我们三个会一起制作服装。” “是啊，也许明年，我们三个会赢得前三名！”罗克西说。

That night, the three friends, wearing the same costumes they wore to the contest, went out trickor- treating together. "Ooh," said one woman as she put candy into Zeke's bag. "That is a wonderful costume. Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you just landed here from another planet!" "Thank you," said Zeke.

那天晚上，三个朋友穿着他们参加比赛时穿的同样的服装，一起出去玩恶作剧。 “哦，”一个女人一边说一边把糖果放进齐克的包里。 “这是一套很棒的服装。 如果我不知道的话，我还以为你是从另一个星球来的呢！”“谢谢你，”齐克说。

"I heard that Jeremy was grounded by his parents for that stunt with the flour," Harris said, as they moved onto the next house. "He's missing Halloween this year." "It's funny, he was so concerned about Zeke's costume, but even Harris and the Reynolds twins beat Zeke!" Roxy said. "Thanks for reminding me," Zeke said, and they all laughed.

“我听说杰里米因为拿面粉的恶作剧被他的父母禁足了，”哈里斯说，这时他们又去了另一所房子。 “他今年要错过万圣节了。” “有趣的是，他很担心齐克的服装，但就连哈里斯和雷诺兹双胞胎也打败了齐克！”诺克斯说。 “谢谢你提醒我。”齐克说，大家都笑了。

At the next house, a man opened the door and said, "Nice costumes!" He turned to Zeke and asked, "What are you supposed to be?" "I am supposed to be holding out my bag and getting candy from you," Zeke replied, straight-faced. Harris and Roxy cracked up. Zeke didn't understand what was funny. He still has a ways to go to understand humans! Harris thought.

在另一所房子里，一个男人打开门说：“漂亮的服装！”他转向齐克问道：“你应该是什么？”“我应该拿着我的包从你那里拿糖果，”齐克板着脸回答。 哈里斯和罗克西大笑起来。 齐克不明白什么叫好笑。 要了解人类，他还有很长的路要走！哈里斯认为。

"No, Zeke," said Roxy. "He means what is your costume." "Oh," Zeke replied. "He's an alien," Harris said. Zeke smiled at Harris. This is one time I can say that without giving away Zeke's secret, Harris thought. He could tell that Zeke was thinking the same thing. Then the sorceress, the robot, and the alien, laughing and talking, moved on to the next house.

“不，齐克，”罗克西说。“他的意思是你的服装是什么。” “哦，”齐克回答。“他是个外星人，”哈里斯说。 齐克对哈里斯笑了笑。这是我唯一一次在不泄露齐克秘密的情况下说出这句话，哈里斯想。 他看得出齐克也在想同样的事情。 然后，女巫、机器人和外星人有说有笑地向下一个房子走去。
