7 Time to Talk

Seven time to talk THE CROWD OF HAPPY PLAYERS headed off the field. That's when Roxy noticed that Harris wasn't celebrating with the rest of the team. "Are you really so jealous of Zeke that you can't even be happy for him?" she asked, walking over to Harris. "I'm surprised at you, Harris. I really am."

七次谈话一群快乐的球员离开了球场。 这时罗克西注意到哈里斯没有和其他队员一起庆祝。 “你真的那么嫉妒齐克，甚至不能为他感到高兴吗？”她朝哈里斯走去，问道。 “你真让我吃惊，哈里斯。 我真的是。”

Harris looked away. He didn't know what to say. I obviously can't tell Roxy the truth, he thought. I promised to keep Zeke's secret, even if it costs me his friendship. And I can't celebrate Zeke's cheating and make it seem like I think it's okay for him to use his powers.

哈里斯把目光移开。他不知道该说什么。 我显然不能告诉罗克西真相，他想。 我答应过要保守齐克的秘密，即使失去他的友谊也在所不惜。 我也不能庆祝齐克的出轨让他觉得我可以用他的超能力。

He remained silent. Roxy rolled her eyes, and stormed off with saying anything else. Harris met up with his parents in the bleachers. "What a great win for the Chargers!" his mom said excitedly. "You played so well! And we're so happy for Zeke. He's fitting in and everyone on the team seems to really like him."

他保持沉默。罗克西翻了个白眼，什么也没说就气冲冲地走了。 哈里斯在露天看台上见到了他的父母。 “闪电队的胜利太棒了！”他妈妈兴奋地说。 “你打得真好！”我们为齐克感到高兴。 他适应得很好，队里的每个人似乎都很喜欢他。”

"He did good, yeah," Harris said, as they all walked to his parents' car. "You don't seem all that happy about the game," his dad said. "No, I'm happy," Harris said. "I'm glad our team won the game and I'm glad Zeke did okay." "Honey, are you sure you're okay?" his mom asked. "I'm fine, Mom," Harris said.

“他做得很好，是的，”哈里斯说，他们一起走向他父母的车。 “你似乎对这场比赛不怎么高兴，”他爸爸说。 “不，我很高兴，”哈里斯说。 “我很高兴我们的球队赢得了比赛，我也很高兴齐克表现得很好。” “亲爱的，你确定你没事吗？”妈妈问。 “我很好，妈妈，”哈里斯说。

I can't talk to anyone about what's really bothering me, he thought. Anyone, that is, except Zeke! After dinner that evening, Harris decided to try to talk to Zeke. He went next door to his house. "Hello, Harris," said Zeke's father, Xad, answering the door. "It is nice to see you," said Zeke's mother, Quar. "We are very glad that you have taught Zeke all about bases and balls."

我不能和任何人谈论真正困扰我的事情，他想。 任何人，除了齐克！那天晚饭后，哈里斯决定试着和齐克谈谈。 他去了隔壁他的房子。 “你好，哈里斯。”齐克的父亲萨德开了门。 “很高兴见到你，”齐克的母亲夸尔说。 “我们很高兴你教会了齐克所有关于垒和球的知识。”

"Yes, he likes this game very much," added Xad. Harris smiled and nodded, then walked over to his friend. He found Zeke, fingertips on the sides of his head, mind-projecting his homework onto a big screen that hovered above a desk.

“是的，他非常喜欢这个游戏，”Xad补充道。 哈里斯微笑着点了点头，然后走向他的朋友。 他发现齐克，指尖放在脑袋两侧，正在把他的作业意念投射到桌子上方的大屏幕上。
