3 Bummer in the Summer!

Chapter 3 Bummer in the Summer! Nooooooooooooooo! Not Andrea! Why did it have to be Andrea? Anybody but Andrea! Weren't there any bank robbers or criminals we could share our beach house with? Little Miss Perfect Know-It-All is so annoying. She thinks she is really smart. I know she'll be hanging around me all summer, bothering me, and trying to show off how much she knows about everything. "Please don't let Andrea come here!" I begged my parents. "Please please please please?" Saying the word "please" over and over again will usually make grown-ups give you anything you want. Nobody knows why. But it didn't work this time.

第三章夏天的流浪者！Nooooooooooooooo !不是安德里亚!为什么非得是安德里亚？ 除了安德里亚！难道就没有银行抢劫犯或者罪犯可以和我们一起住海边别墅吗？ 十全十美的万事通小姐真烦人。 她觉得自己很聪明。 我知道她整个夏天都会围着我转，烦我，还想炫耀她什么都懂。 “请不要让安德里亚来这里！”我恳求我的父母。 “求你了，求你了，求你了？”一遍又一遍地说“请”这个词通常会让大人给你任何你想要的东西。 没人知道为什么。但这次没有成功。

"A.J., you be nice to Andrea," my mother told me. "Her mother and I are good friends." I don't get it. Why do I have to be friends with somebody just because her mom and my mom are friends? It's not fair. The next morning a car pulled into the driveway, and guess who got out? Little Miss Annoying and her parents! Andrea was wearing pink sunglasses and a bathing suit that had butterflies on it. "Hi, Arlo!" said Andrea, who calls me by my real name because she knows I don't like it. "Isn't this going to be a great summer?"

“a。j。你要对安德里亚好一点，”我妈妈告诉我。 “她妈妈和我是好朋友。” 我不明白。为什么我要和别人做朋友就因为她妈妈和我妈妈是朋友？ 这不公平。第二天早上，一辆车停在车道上，猜猜谁下了车？ 讨厌的小小姐和她的父母！安德里亚戴着粉红色的太阳镜，穿着有蝴蝶图案的泳衣。 “嗨，阿乐！”安德里亚说，她叫我的真名，因为她知道我不喜欢这样。 “这个夏天不会很棒吗？”

"It was gonna be a great summer," I said, "but then you showed up." "That's not nice, Arlo!" "Neither is your face," I told Andrea. My mother told me to be a gentleman and carry Andrea's suitcase upstairs for her. "What do you have in here, rocks?" I asked. "No, silly," Andrea said. "Books! It's my summer reading. Every summer I set a goal for myself. This year my goal is to read the complete works of Shakespeare."

“本来会是一个很棒的夏天，”我说，“但后来你出现了。” “这可不好，阿乐！”“你的脸也不是，”我告诉安德里亚。 我妈妈让我做个绅士，帮她把安德里亚的箱子搬到楼上。 “你这儿有什么，石头吗？”我问。 “不，傻瓜，”安德烈说。“书!这是我的暑期读物。 每年夏天我都给自己定一个目标。 今年我的目标是读完莎士比亚全集。”

"You're gonna read about a guy who shakes a spear?" I asked. "William Shakespeare is the most famous writer in history!" Andrea said. "If you opened a book once in a while, you'd know that, Arlo." "Hey, I opened a book once," I said. "And then I closed it." "Why?" she asked. "Because there were words inside." Andrea picked up one of her dumb Shakespeare books and started reading out loud: "'To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

“你要读一个人挥舞长矛的故事吗？”我问。 “威廉·莎士比亚是历史上最著名的作家！”安德里亚说。 “如果你偶尔打开一本书，你就会知道的，阿乐。” “嘿，我曾经打开过一本书，”我说。 “然后我关上了它。”“为什么？”她问。 “因为里面有文字。” 安德里亚拿起一本莎翁的哑巴书，开始大声朗读：“生存还是毁灭，这是一个问题：忍受命运的无情打击，哪一种精神更高尚？

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them.'" "Isn't that lovely, Arlo?" Andrea asked. "Zzzzzzzzzz," I said, pretending to be asleep. That Shakespeare guy made no sense at all. The question isn't to be or not to be. I'll tell you what the question is. Do you want ice cream or cake? That is the question. Trick biking or skateboarding? That is the question. TV or video games? That is the question. Would it be better if a piano or an elephant fell on Andrea's head? That is the question. Andrea lined up her dumb books on a shelf in ABC order. "Hey, maybe we can read together on the beach, Arlo!" Andrea said. "What did you bring for summer reading?"

或是拿起武器，对抗纷繁的麻烦，以对抗的方式结束它们。“阿乐，这不是很好吗？”安德里亚问道。 “Zzzzzzzzzz，”我说，假装睡着了。 那个莎士比亚的家伙根本说不通。 问题不是生存还是毁灭。 我来告诉你问题是什么。 你要冰淇淋还是蛋糕？ 这就是问题所在。骑自行车还是玩滑板？ 这就是问题所在。看电视还是玩电子游戏？ 这就是问题所在。如果一架钢琴或者一头大象砸在安德里亚的头上会不会更好？ 这就是问题所在。安德里亚把她的哑巴书按ABC顺序排列在书架上。 “嘿，也许我们可以一起在海滩上读书，阿乐！”安德里亚说。 “你为暑期读物带来了什么？”

Summer reading?! What is her problem? "Summer" and "reading" are two words that should never be put together in the same sentence. The only reading I brought was a comic book that I finished in the car. It was about a superhero named Mold Man who can turn his body into any shape. He's cool. I bet Mold Man would kick Shakespeare's butt. Andrea's mom said we could go to the beach as long as we came back in time for lunch. Then we'd have to wait an hour before we went swimming again. Mothers always make you wait an hour after you eat before you can go swimming. Nobody knows why. I guess sharks can smell the food in your stomach and will eat you to get it. I showed Andrea how to get to the beach. The backhoe was gone, but Mr. Sunny was

暑期阅读? !她有什么问题？ “夏天”和“阅读”这两个词永远不应该放在同一个句子里。 我唯一带的读物是一本在车里看完的漫画书。 它讲的是一个叫模具人的超级英雄，他可以把自己的身体变成任何形状。 他很酷。我打赌模具人会打败莎士比亚。 安德里亚的妈妈说只要我们按时回来吃午饭就可以去海滩。 那我们得等一个小时才能再去游泳。 妈妈总是让你吃完饭后等一个小时才能去游泳。 没人知道为什么。我猜鲨鱼能闻到你胃里的食物，它们会吃掉你来得到它。 我告诉安德里亚怎么去海滩。 挖土机不见了，但桑尼先生还在
