1. Welcome to Time-Out

Chapter 1 Welcome to Time-Out You know, being stuck in time-out isn't so bad. If you bring your imagination along for company. Like right now. I may look like I'm just sitting in my time-out corner. But I'm pretending I'm playing baseball. I just hit sixteen home runs in a row! I am a baseball superstar. I have a gazillion fans. I'm a very cool guy. Inside my brain, anyway. In real life, I'm a pretty ordinary guy, to tell the truth. Although last week, I was one of the coolest kids in class for a while. Actually, being cool is why I'm here in time-out. Well, that's not exactly the reason.

第一章欢迎来到暂停时间你知道，被困在暂停时间并不是那么糟糕。 如果你带着你的想象力作伴。 就像现在。我可能看起来只是坐在暂停的角落里。 但我假装在打棒球。 我刚刚连续打了16个全垒打!我是棒球巨星。 我有无数的粉丝。我是一个很酷的人。 至少在我的大脑里。在现实生活中，说实话，我是一个很普通的人。 虽然上周，我有段时间是班里最酷的孩子之一。 事实上，耍酷是我在这里暂停的原因。 好吧，这不是真正的原因。

I guess maybe the part where I destroyed my friend Gus's sneakers might have something to do with it. I was just trying to help Gus be cool too. You've smushed up shoes for a good reason before, haven't you? No? Not even to help out your best buddy? I guess maybe this does sound a little strange. Maybe I should back up a bit. To when this all started. The part before I was cool for two whole days.

我想也许是因为我毁了我朋友格斯的球鞋。 我只是想帮Gus扮酷。 你以前把鞋子弄脏是有原因的，不是吗? 没有?连帮你最好的朋友都不行吗? 我想这听起来确实有点奇怪。 也许我应该后退一点。 回到这一切开始的时候。之前的部分我酷了整整两天。
