Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10 Edgar demanded as he exited the bus, followed by his two lackeys, Pete and Bruce. Michael handed over Edgar's drone and remote. Since Michael kept his end of the deal by bringing Edgar's drone back, Edgar kept up his end by not pounding Michael. "Hey! It's broken!" Edgar complained, attempting to switch it on. "It just needs to be recharged," Michael said quickly before Edgar could reconsider his end of the deal. "By the way," Justin asked, "where did you get it?" "I dunno." Edgar shrugged. "It just showed up. I must have a secret admirer."

埃德加问道，他下了车，后面跟着他的两个仆人皮特和布鲁斯。 迈克尔交出了埃德加的无人机和遥控器。 既然迈克尔履行了他的诺言，把埃德加的无人机带了回来，埃德加也履行了他的诺言，没有揍迈克尔。 “嘿!它坏了!”埃德加抱怨着，想把它打开。 “它只需要充电，”迈克尔在埃德加重新考虑他的终止交易之前迅速地说。 “顺便问一下，”贾斯汀问，“你从哪儿弄来的？”“我不知道”。 埃德加耸耸肩。“它就这么出现了。 我一定有一个秘密的爱慕者。”

Pete thought that was hilarious, which earned him a smack to the back of the head. "Hmm. Okay," Michael replied. He decided not to tell Edgar he also had an admirer. And Edgar decided not to tell Michael that his drone had come with a note that read "Use me to TP Michael Gomez's house!" "Something fishy is going on with all these drones," Justin whispered to Michael as the boys headed down the hallway to class. Michael was about to agree when his attention suddenly turned to a more important topic. "Level 5!" Sadie chirped as she walked past Michael and Justin. "WHAT?!" Michael exclaimed, stopping cold in his tracks. "You got past level 5? No way!"

皮特觉得这很搞笑，结果他的后脑勺挨了一巴掌。 “嗯。好吧。”迈克尔回答。 他决定不告诉埃德加他还有一个仰慕者。 埃德加决定不告诉迈克尔，他的无人机带来了一张纸条，上面写着“用我来TP迈克尔·戈麦斯的房子！”“这些无人机肯定有什么不对劲的地方。”贾斯廷在孩子们沿着走廊去上课的时候小声对迈克尔说。 迈克尔正要表示同意，这时他的注意力突然转向了一个更重要的话题。 “5级!”赛迪从迈克尔和贾斯汀身边走过时叫着。 “什么? !”迈克尔喊道，突然停住了脚步。 “你通过了第五级？”没门!”

"Way!" Sadie countered, raising her arms in a touchdown signal. Most kids, especially sleep-deprived ones, would have conceded defeat at this point, but not Michael. "She beat me in Squish Squids 1 and 2. I gotta win 3, Justin!" Michael proclaimed, then yawned. It didn't take long for Ms. McKay to throw a wrench in Michael's resolution. After reading the first chapter of Treasure Island in class, she assigned chapters 2 and 3 for homework. If you've ever read Treasure Island, you'll remember two things: one is that it's a great book about pirates (which Justin especially loved), and the other is that two chapters can take a serious bite out of video game playing time (which Michael especially didn't love).

“!”赛迪反驳道，举起双臂做着触地的手势。 大多数孩子，尤其是那些睡眠不足的孩子，都会在这一点上承认失败，但迈克尔不是。 “她在《压扁鱿鱼》1和2中打败了我。 我要赢三场，贾斯汀！”迈克尔喊道，然后打了个哈欠。 没有花很长时间。 麦凯试图破坏迈克尔的决心。 在课堂上读完《金银岛》第一章后，她布置了第二章和第三章作为家庭作业。 如果你读过《金银岛》，你会记得两件事：一是这是一本关于海盗的好书（贾斯汀特别喜欢），另一个是其中的两个章节可以占用大量的电子游戏时间（迈克尔尤其不喜欢）。
