11 Fifty Pizzas and Twenty Milkshakes

CHAPTER ELEVEN FIFTY PIZZAS AND TWENTY MILKSHAKES SIMON'S MOM LOOKED at the garage and said we did an excellent job. She congratulated us on making the money. We realized right then that we were all starving. All that work made us super hungry. "We should go for pizza or ice cream," Rosie suggested. "Can I?" Simon asked his mom. "Where's Dad?" "He's in Hammond," his mom said after checking

第十一章五十个披萨和二十个奶昔西蒙的妈妈看了看车库，说我们做得很好。 她祝贺我们赚了钱。 我们立刻意识到我们都快饿死了。 所有的工作让我们超级饿。 “我们应该去吃披萨或冰淇淋，”罗茜建议道。 “我可以吗?”西蒙问他的妈妈。 “爸爸在哪里?”“他在哈蒙德，”他妈妈查了一下后说

her phone. "That's about an hour and a half away. You can make it back in time." We were all happy about that. "Should we get pizza or ice cream?" Simon asked as we walked to town. "We're like millionaires! We could get both!" "Maybe," Rosie said and caught my eye when

她的电话。“大约一个半小时的路程。 你可以及时赶回去。” 我们都很高兴。 “我们应该吃披萨还是冰淇淋？”我们向镇上走去时，西蒙问道。 “我们就像百万富翁！”我们可以两样都买！”“也许吧，”罗茜说，引起了我的注意

Simon wasn't looking. She winked at me. "Yeah," I said and winked back. "Maybe." "We have enough money to get, like, fifty pizzas and twenty milkshakes!" Simon said. He was excited. I think he thought maybe—just maybe—he wouldn't get into too much trouble with his dad now. "Where should we go first?" We didn't stop at the pizza place first. And we didn't stop at the ice cream shop first. We stopped at Sycamore Sports first. It was a store that had loads of sports stuff and camping stuff. And bikes.

西蒙没有看。她对我使了个眼色。 “是啊，”我说，也对他眨了眨眼睛。 “也许吧。”“我们有足够的钱买50个披萨和20杯奶昔！”西蒙说。 他很兴奋。我想他认为也许——只是也许——他现在不会和他爸爸有太多的麻烦了。 “我们应该先去哪里？”我们没有先去披萨店。 我们没有先去冰淇淋店。 我们先在梧桐体育停了下来。 那是一家有很多运动用品和露营用品的商店。 和自行车。

"Why are we going in here?" Simon asked. Rosie said, "I want to look for something." She walked straight to the bikes at the back of the store. There was a high school kid working there. He had a bike up on a rack and was spinning its front tire. "Can I help you three?" he asked. Rosie did the talking. "We're looking for a mountain bike," Rosie said. Simon hadn't figured it out yet. He just watched Rosie with a puzzled look on his face. "We've got a few models," the teenager said and walked us over to a wall where a bunch of bikes were lined up. He waved at them as he described them.

“我们为什么要进去？”西蒙问。 罗茜说：“我想找点东西。” 她径直走向商店后面的自行车。 有个高中生在那里工作。 他把一辆自行车放在车架上，前轮正在打转。 “我能帮你们三个吗？”他问。 罗西说话了。“我们在找一辆山地车，”罗西说。 西蒙还没想明白。 他只是满脸疑惑地看着罗茜。 “我们有几个型号，”那个少年说着，带我们走到一堵墙上，那里排着一堆自行车。 他一边描述，一边向他们挥手。

"These are the Rock Jumpers—good basic mountain bike. These are Trail Hunters—about the same, just a little sturdier. And the top of the line is the Mongoose. It has an aluminum frame instead of steel. Much lighter, but twice as strong. Can really take the bumps." Rosie asked, "How much is the Mongoose?" "It's expensive." "How much?" "It's 145 dollars." "Do you have an orange one?" "I do." "We'll take it." He went to get the bike. Simon still hadn't figured it out. He asked, "What's going on?" "We're getting you a new bike!" Rosie said. "One

“这些是‘跳岩者’——不错的基本款山地车。 这些是猎径者——差不多一样，只是更结实一点。 最上面的是猫鼬。 它的框架是铝制的，而不是钢制的。 重量轻了很多，但强度却是原来的两倍。 真的能承受颠簸。” 罗茜问：“猫鼬多少钱？”“这是昂贵的。” “多少钱?”“145美元。” “你有橙色的吗？”“我做的。” “我们买下它了。”他去取自行车。 西蒙仍然没有弄明白。 他问：“发生了什么事？”“我们要给你买一辆新自行车！”罗西说。 “一个

that won't get all busted up on the trails at Picasso Park. It was Molly's idea!" I could see tears welling up in Simon's eyes. He was so surprised. And so happy.

不会在毕加索公园的小路上被撞坏。 这是莫利的主意！”我能看到西蒙眼中涌出了泪水。 他很惊讶。而且很开心。
