9 The Greatest Moment of My Life

Chapter 9 The Greatest Moment of My Life By the time Dr. Brad let me go, it was afternoon recess. I ran over to join the guys on the playground. "So, did Dr. Brad give you electric shocks?" asked Michael. "Did he take out your brain?" asked Ryan. "Nah," I told them, "he tried to hypnotize me, but it didn't work. Hypnosis is way overrated. Dr. Brad said that geniuses are really hard to hypnotize." Andrea and her girly friends were listening to us, as usual. "I bet it would be really hard to hypnotize me then," said Andrea.

第九章我一生中最伟大的时刻。 布莱德让我走了，当时是下午休息。 我跑过去加入了操场上的男孩们。 “那么，布拉德医生给你电击了吗？”迈克尔问。 “他取出你的大脑了吗？”瑞恩问。 “不，”我告诉他们，“他想催眠我，但没用。 催眠被高估了。 布拉德博士说天才真的很难被催眠。” 安德里亚和她的女朋友们像往常一样在听我们说话。 “我敢打赌，要催眠我一定很难，”安德里亚说。

"Oh, I could probably hypnotize you in a minute," I told Andrea. "Could not!" "Could too!" We went back and forth like that for a while. Finally, Andrea dared me to try and hypnotize her. I told her I would need a shiny object, so she took off her necklace and handed it to me. "This is really shiny," I said. "Stare at it as it swings back and forth." "Okay," Andrea said. I swung the necklace in front of Andrea's face. "Are your eyelids feeling heavy?" I asked. "Heavy…" Andrea mumbled. "Stare at the necklace as it swings back and forth… back and forth… back and forth," I told Andrea. "Are you feeling sleepy?"

“哦，我可以在一分钟内催眠你，”我告诉安德里亚。 “不可能!”“可以!”我们这样来来回回聊了一会儿。 最后，安德里亚挑战我，让我试着催眠她。 我告诉她我需要一件亮闪闪的东西，于是她摘下项链递给我。 “这真的很闪亮，”我说。 “盯着它来回摆动。” “好吧，”安德里亚说。我把项链甩到安德里亚面前。 “你的眼皮沉不沉？”我问。 “很重……”安德烈喃喃地说。 我对安德里亚说：“盯着项链来回摆动……来回摆动……来回摆动。” “你觉得困吗？”

"Sleepy…" she mumbled. "Stare at the shiny necklace as it swings back and forth… back and forth… back and forth," I told Andrea. "Soon you'll be in a trance." "Trance…" she mumbled. "Hey, I think it's working," Michael said. "Look at her eyes. She's in a trance!" "No she's not," I said. "She's just faking it. That's what I did." "I don't like this, A.J.," said Emily. She looked like she was going to cry, like always. "You will do everything I say," I told

“困了……”她喃喃地说。“看着这条闪闪发亮的项链来回摆动……来回摆动……来回摆动，”我告诉安德里亚。 “很快你就会出神了。” “恍惚……”她喃喃地说。“嘿，我觉得它起作用了，”迈克尔说。 “看她的眼睛。她出神了！”“不，她不是，”我说。 “她只是装出来的。我就是这么做的。” “我不喜欢这样，a.j.，”艾米丽说。 她像往常一样，看起来要哭了。 “你要照我说的去做，”我告诉他

Andrea. "You will believe everything I say." "Everything you say…" Andrea mumbled like a robot. "You will listen only to me," I told Andrea. "Only to you…" she mumbled. "And when I snap my fingers, you'll wake up," I told Andrea. "Wake up," she mumbled. "A.J., you're gonna get in trouble," Ryan said. "She's like, in another world." "Relax," I whispered. "I'm just having a little fun." "It doesn't look like fun to me," whined Emily. "You will believe anything I say," I told Andrea. "Anything you say…" she mumbled. "You're a big dumbhead," I told Andrea. "I'm a big dumbhead…" she mumbled.

安德里亚。“你要相信我说的一切。” “你说的一切……”安德里亚像机器人一样喃喃自语。 “你只听我的话，”我对安德烈说。 “只对你……”她喃喃地说。 “我打响指，你就醒了，”我告诉安德里亚。 “醒醒，”她咕哝道。“aj，你会有麻烦的，”Ryan说。 “她就像在另一个世界。” “放轻松，”我低声说。“我只是想找点乐子。” “在我看来，这一点也不好玩，”爱米丽抱怨道。 “我说什么你都要相信，”我对安德烈说。 “你说什么都行……”她咕哝道。 “你是个大傻瓜，”我对安德里亚说。 “我是个大笨蛋……”她嘟囔着。

"Oh, snap!" said Ryan. "She's gotta be in a trance if she would say that!" "That's mean!" Emily said. "Wake her up, A.J.!" "You hate school," I told Andrea. "Hate school…" she mumbled. "Following rules is for losers," I told Andrea. "Following rules is for losers," she mumbled. This was fun! "You're a bad kid," I told Andrea. "I'm a bad kid…" mumbled Andrea. Making Andrea say she was bad was hilarious. This was the greatest moment of my life. "Your feet smell like rotten cabbage," I told Andrea. "Stop fooling around, A.J.!" Neil said. "It's almost time to go back inside. You better wake her up before the bell rings."

“哦，糟了！”瑞恩说。“她一定是神志不清了才会这么说！”“这是意思!”艾米丽说。 “把她叫醒，A.J.!”“你讨厌学校，”我告诉安德里亚。 “讨厌学校……”她嘟囔着。 “只有失败者才会遵守规则，”我告诉安德里亚。 “只有失败者才会遵守规则，”她喃喃地说。 这很有趣！“你是个坏孩子，”我对安德里亚说。 “我是个坏孩子……”安德烈嘟囔着。 让安德里亚说她很坏真是太搞笑了。 这是我一生中最伟大的时刻。 “你的脚闻起来像腐烂的卷心菜，”我告诉安德里亚。 “别胡闹了，A.J.!”尼尔说。 “差不多是回到屋里的时候了。 你最好在铃响之前把她叫醒。”

"Okay, okay," I said. "When I snap my fingers, Andrea, you will wake up." But I didn't get the chance to snap my fingers, because at that very moment… BRRRRING! BRRRRING! Recess was over.

“好吧，好吧，”我说。“当我打响指的时候，安德里亚，你就会醒过来。” 但是我没有机会打个响指，因为就在那一刻……呵!休息结束了。
