Chapter 12 NURSE YOUR WOUNDS, NOT YOUR GRUDGES! WOUNDS HEAL, BUT GRUDGES JUST GET WORSE. Morgan spent a good part of the afternoon in the nurse's office. He had twisted his ankle. The pain had been excruciating—even worse than the first injury— but there was good news. "Nothing's broken," said Doc. "And you didn't do any permanent damage. But you have got to rest, Morgan. You'll never heal if you keep landing on it funny." Morgan nodded. "I've learned my lesson. Pain is a great teacher."

第十二章护理你的伤口，而不是你的怨恨！伤口会愈合，但怨恨只会愈演愈烈。 摩根在护士办公室度过了大半个下午。 他扭伤了脚踝。这种疼痛非常剧烈，甚至比第一次受伤时还要严重，但好消息还是出现了。 “什么都没坏，”医生说。 “而且你没有造成任何永久性的伤害。 但你得休息，摩根。 如果你一直这么搞笑，你永远不会痊愈的。” 摩根点点头。“我已经吸取了教训。 痛苦是一位伟大的老师。”

"As long as this great teacher isn't a pain!" said Doc. She chortled at her own joke, but Morgan could only moan. "It sounds like he's in pain!" cried Jodi as she pushed her way into the cramped office. Harper, Theo, and Po were right behind her. "I'm afraid we can't save his sense of humor," said Doc. "But his foot will be fine… in a couple of weeks." "Doc?" said Harper. "I didn't know you were our school nurse."

“只要这个好老师不让人讨厌就行！”医生说。 她为自己的玩笑笑了起来，但摩根只能呻吟。 “听起来他好像很痛苦！”乔迪一边挤进狭窄的办公室一边叫道。 哈珀，西奥和阿宝跟在她后面。 “恐怕我们救不了他的幽默感，”医生说。 “但他的脚会好起来的……再过几个星期。” “医生？”哈帕问。“我不知道你是我们学校的护士。”

"Just filling in while Glenda is on vacation," Doc said. "As long as nobody needs a kidney transplant, I can handle it." She seemed to sense some tension between Morgan and his visitors. "I'll let you all talk, but I'll be right outside if you need me." Po waited until Doc had left, and then he turned to Morgan. "Dude, we were so worried!" he said. "When you weren't in class, we didn't know what happened." "We even called Ash," said Harper. She held up her phone. Morgan could see the face of their long-distance friend, Ash, on the screen.

“我只是在格伦达度假的时候代班。”医生说。 “只要没有人需要肾脏移植，我就能接受。” 她似乎感觉到了摩根和来访者之间的紧张关系。 “我让你们都说，但如果你们需要我，我就在外面。” 阿宝一直等到医生走后，才转向摩根。 “老兄，我们好担心啊！”他说。 “你不上课的时候，我们不知道发生了什么事。” “我们甚至打电话给阿什，”哈珀说。 她举起手机。摩根可以在屏幕上看到他们的异地好友阿什的脸。

"Hi, Morgan," said Ash. "I'm glad to see you're okay. Jodi thought you'd run away to join the circus." "Or to play Minecraft without us," said Theo. "We actually checked the library first." Morgan shook his head. "I guess I haven't been much of a team player lately, have I? But I wouldn't have gone behind your backs like that." "Can you tell us why you've been so upset?" Ash asked. "Well…" Morgan felt his cheeks get hot. "I guess it's because I like being a part of this team so much.

“嗨，摩根。”阿什说。“我很高兴看到你没事。 乔迪以为你会跑去参加马戏团。” “或者独自玩《我的世界》，”西奥说。 “我们实际上是先去图书馆查的。” 摩根摇了摇头。“我想我最近不太善于团队合作，是吗？” 但我不会背着你们这么做的。” “你能告诉我们你为什么这么难过吗？”灰问道。 “嗯……”摩根觉得自己的脸颊开始发热。 “我想这是因为我非常喜欢成为这支球队的一员。

And I worry sometimes that you don't need me. Or even that I'm holding you back." "Holding us back?" said Po. "That's the opposite of what you do." "But I'm supposed to be the Minecraft expert," said Morgan. "And I've been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up like I used to. I wasn't prepared to face the Nether alone, and sometimes Theo knows more than I do." "Two heads are a lot better than one," said Theo. "When it comes to knowledge, everybody contributes." "Theo's right," said Harper. "I mean, I've always been better at remembering crafting formulas." Jodi chuckled. "That's true! Just like I'm good at taming cute animal mobs."

有时我担心你不需要我。 或者我在拖你的后腿。” “拖我们后腿？”阿宝说。 “这和你做的恰恰相反。” “但我应该是《我的世界》专家，”摩根说。 “我太忙了，我不能像以前那样跟上进度。 我没有准备好独自面对地狱，有时西奥比我知道得更多。” “三个臭皮匠总比一个诸葛亮。”西奥说。 “说到知识，每个人都有贡献。” “西奥说得对。”哈珀说。 “我的意思是，我总是更善于记住制作配方。” 乔迪•咯咯地笑了。“这是真的!就像我擅长驯服可爱的动物暴徒一样。”

"And if we have to replace you on a relay race, that wouldn't mean we're replacing you as a friend, you know," Harper continued. "We don't even care that much about winning the race. We just didn't want you to get hurt again." "Mission not accomplished," Po said, pointing at Morgan's freshly rebraced foot. "I guess I took it too personally," said Morgan. "I was looking forward to being on a team with you two for Field Day. I didn't want to miss out. But I have to

“如果我们不得不在接力赛上取代你，那并不意味着我们要取代你作为朋友，你知道，”哈珀继续说道。 “我们甚至不太在乎赢得比赛。 我们只是不想让你再次受伤。” “任务还没完成，”阿宝指着摩根刚包扎好的脚说。 “我想我把它看得太私人了，”摩根说。 “我很期待和你们俩一起参加野外运动会。 我可不想错过。 但我必须这么做
