1. The L Word

1 The L Word My name is A.J. and I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. That's right. I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And I'm not ashamed to say it out loud, right in the middle of the vomitorium! "What?!" shouted Michael, who never ties his shoes. "A.J., did you just say the L

我的名字是A.J. 我喜欢花生酱和果冻三明治。 这是正确的。我喜欢花生酱和果冻三明治。 我并不羞于大声说出来，就在体育馆中间！“什么？！”从不系鞋带的迈克尔喊道。 " aj，你刚才说的是L

word?" "A.J. said the L word!" shouted Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn't food. "A.J. said the L word!" shouted Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes. "A.J. said the L word!" shouted Alexia, this girl who rides a skateboard all the time.* Everybody was staring at me like I had

字?”“A.J.说了个L字！”瑞恩喊道，他什么都吃，甚至不是食物的东西。 “A.J.说了‘L’这个词！”尼尔喊道，尽管他穿着衣服，我们还是称他为裸体孩子。 “A.J.说了‘L’这个词！”亚历克西娅喊道，她是一个经常玩滑板的女孩。*每个人都像我一样盯着我看

just grown a third eyeball in the middle of my head. They all looked like they were going to faint. "Big deal," I said. "I love skateboarding. I love playing football. I love my parents. I love pizza." "I think that's just wonderful, Arlo," said Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair. She calls me by my real name because she knows I don't like it. "It's good to talk about the things you love. I love school. I love singing and dancing and reading Shakespeare, and learning new things and getting good grades and—" "Oooh," Ryan said, "A.J. and Andrea are talking about the things they love. They must be in love!" "When are you gonna get married?" asked Michael. The truth is, I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because they are awesome.

我脑袋中间长了第三颗眼球。 他们看上去都要晕过去了。 “有什么大不了的，”我说。“我喜欢滑板。 我喜欢踢足球。我爱我的父母。 我喜欢披萨。”“我觉得这太棒了，阿罗，”安德里亚·杨（Andrea Young）说，她是一个棕色卷发的讨厌女孩。 她叫我的真名，因为她知道我不喜欢这样。 “谈论你喜欢的事情是件好事。 我爱学校。我喜欢唱歌、跳舞、读莎士比亚的书，学习新东西，取得好成绩，还有——”“哦，”瑞恩说，“A.J. 和安德里亚正在谈论他们喜欢的东西。 他们一定是相爱了！”“你打算什么时候结婚？”迈克尔问。 事实上，我喜欢花生酱和果冻三明治，因为它们太棒了。

I love peanut butter. I love jelly. When you put peanut butter and jelly together, they're even more awesome than they were in separate jars. "Saying the word 'love' out loud means you're becoming more mature, Arlo," said Andrea. "I'm so glad to hear that you're turning over a new leaf." What? I didn't turn any leaves over. What do leaves have to do with anything? And why would anybody bother turning over a leaf? Leaves are pretty much the same on both sides, so it's a waste of time to turn them over. Why can't a truck full of leaves fall on Andrea's head?

我喜欢花生酱。我喜欢果冻。 当你把花生酱和果冻放在一起时，它们比单独放在罐子里更棒。 “大声说出‘爱’这个词意味着你变得更加成熟了，阿乐，”安德里亚说。 “我很高兴听到你开始改过自新了。” 怎么啦？我没有翻过任何一页。 树叶有什么关系？ 为什么会有人费心去翻页呢？ 叶子的两面都差不多，所以把它们翻过来是浪费时间。 为什么一卡车树叶不能砸到安德里亚的头上？
