5. True Love

5 True Love "Hi Arlo!" "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" It was Andrea! She's the only person in the world who calls me by my real name.* I must have jumped three feet in the air. Little Miss Perfect was with her crybaby friend Emily. They were carrying a bunch of packages. "What are you doing here?" I asked Andrea. "Buying yourself a new encyclopedia because your old one wore out?" "Very funny," said Andrea. "Emily and I bought toys for homeless girls and boys."

5真爱“嗨，阿乐！”“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !”是安德里亚！她是世界上唯一一个叫我真名的人。我一定是跳了三英尺高。 完美小姐和她爱哭的朋友艾米丽在一起。 他们带着一堆包裹。 “你在这儿干什么？”我问安德烈。 “因为你的旧百科全书坏了就给自己买一本新的百科全书？”“很有趣，”安德烈说。 “艾米丽和我给无家可归的男孩和女孩买玩具。”

"That's right," said Emily, who always agrees with everything Andrea says. "We want to bring peace and harmony to kids all over the world." "Oh, yeah? Well, we came to meet Santa Claus," Alexia said. "Oooooo!" Andrea said, all excited. "We want to meet Santa, too. Can we come with you guys?"

“没错，”艾米丽说，她总是同意安德里亚说的每句话。 “我们想给全世界的孩子们带来和平与和谐。” “哦,是吗?嗯，我们是来见圣诞老人的。” “Oooooo !”安德烈兴奋地说。 “我们也想见见圣诞老人。 我们能和你们一起去吗？”

"We'll have to talk it over," I said. The gang and I moved off to the side and huddled up like football players. "What do you think?" asked Neil. "Should we let them hang out with us?" "I say no," I said. "I don't want to walk around with Andrea all day." "Oooooo, A.J. doesn't want to walk with Andrea," said Ryan. "They must be in love!" "Wait a minute!" I yelled. "I told you I

“我们得好好谈谈，”我说。 我和那帮家伙挪到一边，像足球运动员一样挤成一团。 “你觉得怎么样？”尼尔问。 “我们应该让他们和我们一起玩吗？”“我说不，”我说。 “我不想整天和安德里亚在一起。” “哦哦哦，A.J.不想和安德里亚一起走，”瑞安说。 “他们一定是相爱了！”“等一下！”我喊道。 “我告诉过你我

didn't want to walk with Andrea. Why are you saying I'm in love with her?" "A.J., everybody knows you love Andrea," said Neil. "It's totally obvious that you only said you didn't want to walk with her to hide the fact that you're in love with her." Hmmmmm. "Okay," I said, "in that case, it's okay with me if Andrea walks with us." "Oooooo, A.J. wants to walk with Andrea!" said Ryan. "They must be in love!" "Wait a minute! That's not fair!" shouted. "So it doesn't matter what I say. I'm in love with Andrea whether I want to walk with her or not." "Oooooo, A.J. just admitted he's in love with Andrea!" said Alexia. "When are you gonna get married?" asked Neil.

我不想和安德里亚一起走 你为什么说我爱上她了？”“aj，大家都知道你爱安德里亚，”尼尔说。 “很明显，你说不想和她一起走只是为了掩饰你爱她的事实。” 嗯……“好吧，”我说，“既然这样，我觉得安德里亚和我们一起走也没关系。” “哦哦哦，A.J.想和安德里亚一起散步！”瑞恩说。 “他们一定是相爱了！”“等一下！”这不公平！” “所以我说什么都不重要。 不管我愿不愿意和安德里亚一起散步，我都爱她。” “哦哦哦，A.J.刚刚承认他爱上了安德里亚！” “你打算什么时候结婚？”尼尔问。

If these kids weren't my best friends, I would hate them.

如果这些孩子不是我最好的朋友，我会讨厌他们的。
