Chapter 11

Tuesday– Hulk still missing Hulk has been missing for three days. He is so fragile and delicate that I am wondering if he's been whisked off by one of those mini tornados you sometimes get. He could well be on a very nice beach somewhere in Devon right now... or stuck up a pylon. Dev has perked up since Sunday. I knew, because he was wearing his beret at school break time. He only puts it on when he is in a

星期二，绿巨人仍然失踪。绿巨人已经失踪三天了。 他是如此脆弱和脆弱，我怀疑他是否被你有时会遇到的小型龙卷风吹走了。 他现在很可能正在德文郡某个非常漂亮的海滩上…… 或者挂在塔架上。戴夫自星期天以来精神抖擞起来。 我知道，因为他在学校休息的时候戴着贝雷帽。 他只有在睡觉的时候才戴

good mood. He had an idea for his performance for the variety show. He didn't tell me what it was though; it is top secret. He and other members of the drama club have been to Miss Gabb's cramped town centre flat to rehearse. Apparently, her neighbours complained about over-extravagantly dressed people flouncing in and out, and awful show tunes blasting from her window. They don't like excitement much. Mrs Sharma came round to tell us about an open evening at the care home she works at. It's tomorrow. She is asking people to donate homemade cakes. I have never made one in my life but I have eaten an impressive amount. (Including the time I accidentally took a bite out of a 'cake' of soap, thinking it

一个好心情。他对自己在综艺节目上的表演有了一个想法。 但他没有告诉我那是什么；这是最高机密。 他和戏剧俱乐部的其他成员去加布小姐拥挤的市中心公寓排练。 显然，她的邻居们抱怨穿着过分奢华的人进进出出，从她的窗户里传出可怕的音乐。 他们不太喜欢刺激。 夏尔马太太过来告诉我们，她工作的养老院有一个开放的晚上。 这是明天。她正在请求人们捐赠自制蛋糕。 我从来没有做过，但我吃了很多。 (包括有一次，我不小心咬了一口肥皂蛋糕，以为是这样

was cheese). So far, my cooking skills include: 1. Frying an omelette which stuck to Dad's wok like a barnacle. He couldn't save it so he turned it into a tadpole pond (the wok, not the omelette). 2. Baking a jacket potato in the microwave so long it became fossilised. I took it to school and convinced Ged that it was a

是奶酪)。到目前为止，我的烹饪技巧包括：1。 煎的煎蛋像藤壶一样粘在爸爸的锅上。 他无法挽救它，所以他把它变成了一个蝌蚪池塘（锅，不是煎蛋）。 2. 在微波炉里烤土豆太久了，土豆都变成了化石。 我把它带到学校，让格德相信这是一个

dinosaur egg. He stole it off me and showed it to Mr Claypot the geography teacher who gave him detention for wasting his time. Ged's had it in for me ever since. 3. Cooking a pizza in the oven but forgetting to take off the plastic wrapper. It set off the smoke alarm and Mam had to take it out of the oven with a shovel and frisbee it outside. It landed in Mr Pike's garden and he

恐龙的蛋。他偷了我的书给克莱波特先生看地理老师因为他浪费时间留堂了。 从那以后，格德就一直对我怀恨在心。 3. 在烤箱里做披萨，却忘了取下塑料包装。 它触发了烟雾报警器，妈妈不得不用铲子把它从烤箱里拿出来，扔到外面。 它落在派克先生的花园里，他

came out and stared at the sky in a confused manner for ages. But I've never made a cake. I could be BRILLIANT, for all I know! Even better than I am at magic. Although until Hulk turns up, I can't do my act, so technically I am still without a talent. Mam was pleased I offered to bake because it meant she didn't have to

出来，茫然地盯着天空看了好长时间。 但是我从来没有做过蛋糕。 据我所知，我可以很出色！甚至比我的魔术还厉害。 虽然在绿巨人出现之前，我不能表演，所以严格来说，我仍然没有天赋。 妈妈很高兴我主动提出要烘焙，因为这意味着她不需要

do it and could finish grouting the bathroom tiles instead. Dev helped me make the cake. We couldn't agree what type to make so we wrote down all the cakes known to humankind, cut the paper into strips, folded them and put them in a bowl. It was the most dedicated piece of homework I have done since drawing a diagram of the life cycle of a fruit fly last term. We got Oli to pick out a slip and read it. 'Chocolate meringue Mont Blanc cake,' he announced, getting the French bit all wrong. I went and looked in the cupboard. 'We don't have any chocolate,' I said.

这样做，就可以完成浴室瓷砖的灌浆。 戴夫帮我做了蛋糕。 我们无法就制作哪种蛋糕达成一致，所以我们写下了人类已知的所有蛋糕，把纸切成条状，折叠起来放在一个碗里。 这是自从我上学期画了一张果蝇的生命周期图以来，我做过的最专注的一份作业。 我们让奥利挑了张纸条读出来。 “巧克力蛋白酥皮勃朗峰蛋糕，”他宣布道，完全把法语说错了。 我去柜子里找了找。 “我们没有巧克力了，”我说。
