12 The Secret Play

Chapter 12 The Secret Play We all ran to the sideline and huddled around Coach Hyatt. "Take a knee, kids," she said. "Where should we take it?" I asked. "Quiet!" barked Coach Hyatt. Then she started whispering. "Okay, this is it. It's time." "Time for what?" Ryan asked. "It's time for The Secret Play," Coach Hyatt told us. "Oh no!" said Neil the nude kid. "Not The Secret Play! The last time we tried The Secret Play, we fell all over ourselves." "Yeah," I said. "I almost broke my leg." "It's going to be different this time," the coach told us. "Now we've got Andrea. You ragamuffins can do this. Just like you picked

我们都跑到场边，围着海厄特教练。 “跪下，孩子们，”她说。 “我们应该把它带到哪里去？”我问。 “安静！”凯悦教练吼道。 然后她开始低声说。 “好吧，就是这样。它是时间。” “什么时间？”瑞恩问道。 Hyatt教练告诉我们：“是时候进行《The Secret Play》了。 “哦，不！”裸体小孩尼尔说。 “不是秘密剧！”上次我们尝试《秘密游戏》时，我们摔倒了。” “是的，”我说。“我差点摔断了腿。” “这一次会有所不同，”教练告诉我们。 “现在我们有了安德里亚。你们这些小混混也能做到。 就像你选的

up my car. Do it for the Chipper." "Who's the Chipper again?" I asked. "My hamster!" Coach Hyatt barked. "Oh, yeah." The ball was on our twenty-yard line. We had to drive eighty yards in eleven seconds. It looked impossible. We got into position. "Hut-one!" Andrea shouted. "Hut-two! HIKE!" Wyatt hiked the ball to Andrea. Andrea flipped it to Ryan. Ryan passed it to me at the thirty-yard line. I shoveled it over to Michael. Michael ran to the fifty-yard line and lateraled it to Neil. Neil ran all the way to the ten-yard line and handed it off to Wyatt. Wyatt ran almost to the goal line, and then he suddenly stopped.

在我的车上。这样做是为了奇珀。” “谁是奇珀尔？”我问。 “我的仓鼠!”凯悦教练吼道。 “哦,是的。”球在我们的二十码线上。 我们必须在11秒内开80码。 这看起来是不可能的。我们就位了。 “某!”安德里亚喊道。 “Hut-two !走开!”怀亚特把球传给安德里亚。 安德里亚把它交给了瑞恩。 莱恩在30码线处把球传给了我。 我把它铲给了迈克尔。 迈克尔跑到五十码线，把球侧向传给尼尔。 尼尔一路跑到十码线，把球传给了怀亚特。 怀亚特几乎跑到球门线，然后他突然停了下来。

"Run, Wyatt! Run!" we all screamed. There was no time left on the clock. Wyatt was just standing at the one-yard line. If he didn't score, the game would be over and we would lose. "RUN!" we all screamed. A Shark was about to tackle Wyatt! That's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. Wyatt picked his nose. Well, that's not the weird part, because

“快跑,怀亚特!快跑！”我们都尖叫着。 时钟上没有时间了。 怀亚特就站在一码线前。 如果他不进球，比赛就结束了，我们就输了。 “快跑！”一条鲨鱼正要抓住怀亚特！就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 怀亚特挖了挖鼻子。这还不是奇怪的地方，因为

Wyatt picks his nose all the time. The weird part was that Wyatt picked his nose, and then he stuck the booger right on the Shark's face! Ew, disgusting! The Shark shoved Wyatt away from him! Wyatt fell on his butt and landed… in the end zone! Touchdown! 78–77. The Moose win! Everybody went crazy! You should have been there! Our whole team ran to do the end zone dance. We shook our butts, lifted one of our legs over our heads, hopped up and down for a while, and then put our hands in the air and waved them around like crazy people. Nah-nah-nah boo-boo on the Sharks! We ran to the sideline, and all the parents were taking pictures of us. It was a

怀亚特总是挖鼻孔。 奇怪的是怀亚特挖了他的鼻子，然后把鼻屎贴在鲨鱼的脸上！电子战,恶心!鲨鱼把怀亚特从他身边推开！怀亚特摔了个跟头，落在了……触地得分!78 - 77。 驼鹿队赢了！每个人都疯了！你应该去的！我们整个队都跑去跳终点舞。 我们摇着屁股，把一条腿举过头顶，上蹦下跳了一会儿，然后把手举起来，像疯子一样挥舞着。 不，不，不，鲨鱼队！我们跑到场边，所有的家长都在给我们拍照。 这是一个

real Kodak moment. "You made a home run!" my mom yelled. I slapped my forehead. Everybody was going nuts and hugging each other. Andrea came over to me. She opened her arms. "Give me a hug, Arlo," Andrea said. "Not gonna happen." "I want a hug, Arlo," Andrea said. "Not for a million hundred dollars." "Come on, Arlo," Andrea said. "I would rather eat a live-bug sandwich." We went back and forth like that for a while. "Arlo, I'm on your team!" Andrea said. "Humphf!" Hmm. Andrea had a point. After a big win like this, you should hug your teammates. Andrea was on our team, and she won the game for us.

真正的柯达时刻。“你打了一个本垒打！”我妈妈喊道。 我拍了拍额头。大家都疯了，互相拥抱。 安德里亚向我走来。她张开双臂。 “给我一个拥抱，阿乐，”安德烈说。 “不可能。”“我想要一个拥抱，阿乐，”安德烈说。 “一百万元也不行。” “来吧，阿乐。”安德烈说。 “我宁愿吃活虫子三明治。” 我们这样来来回回聊了一会儿。 “阿乐，我和你是一队的！”安德里亚说。 “Humphf !”嗯。安德里亚说得对。 在这样一场大胜之后，你应该拥抱你的队友。 安德里亚是我们队的，她为我们赢了比赛。

But she was a girl! If I hugged Andrea, the guys were sure to make fun of me. I was faced with the hardest decision of my life. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I had to think fast. I was concentrating so hard that my brain hurt. Suddenly, Andrea reached out to grab me. I faked left. Then I faked right. Then I faked left again. But Andrea didn't fall for my fakes. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me.

但她是个女孩！如果我拥抱安德里亚，他们肯定会取笑我。 我面临着一生中最艰难的决定。 我不知道该说什么。 我不知道该怎么办。我必须快速思考。 我太专注了，以至于大脑受伤了。 突然，安德里亚伸出手来抓住我。 我假装左转。然后我假装对了。 然后我又假装左转。但安德里亚不相信我的谎言。 她张开双臂抱住我。
