Chapter 1 "Thirty-five, thirty-six, thirty-seven," Peter Parker said. He counted down each person standing in the line outside Easy Ernie's Electronics, a store inside the Forest Hills Mall. The line was long. Peter and his Aunt May stood at the back of it. Peter gasped. "There are thirty- seven people ahead of us!" Aunt May laid her hand on her nephew's shoulder. "Why don't we come back later?" she suggested. "Perhaps the line will be shorter." Peter's mouth dropped open. "Come

“三十五，三十六，三十七，”彼得·帕克说。 在森林山购物中心（Forest Hills Mall）内的Easy Ernie's Electronics商店外，他数着排队的每个人。 队伍很长。彼得和梅姨妈站在屋后。 彼得深吸一口气。“在我们前面有三十七个人！”梅姨妈把手放在侄子的肩上。 “我们为什么不晚点再来呢？”她建议道。 “也许队伍会更短。” 彼得张大了嘴。 “来

back later?!" he whined. "But the new Stark Enterprises Smart Watch could be sold out by then!" "Peter, we have so much holiday shopping to do today," Aunt May explained. "We can't spend all of our time in line at one store." Peter stomped his foot. He crossed his arms. His eyebrows pulled together, and his mouth puckered into a pout. May Parker had not seen her nephew throw a tantrum in many years. She tried hard not to laugh. It May," Peter said. "The Stark Smart Watch is the most exciting advance in personal computing technology since the Stark Pad. This watch will change my life!"

待会儿再回来？！”他呜咽着说。“但新款史塔克企业智能手表到那时可能已经售罄了！”“彼得，我们今天有很多节日购物要做，”梅阿姨解释说。 “我们不能把所有的时间都花在一家商店排队上。” 彼得跺着脚。他交叉双臂。 他皱起了眉头，撅起了嘴。 梅·帕克已经很多年没有看到她的侄子发脾气了。 她竭力忍住不笑。 “五月。”彼得说。“Stark智能手表是自Stark Pad以来个人计算技术领域最令人兴奋的进步。 这块表将改变我的生活！”

Aunt May asked, "How?" Peter blinked. He looked to the ceiling. Then he looked at his feet. "Um. ..I don't know exactly how yet. But I'm sure it will! Please, please, please? It's all I want for Christmas!"

梅姨妈问：“怎么做？”彼得眨了眨眼睛。 他望着天花板。然后他看了看自己的脚。 “嗯。. .我还不知道具体怎么做。 但我肯定会的！求你了，求你了？ 这就是我想要的圣诞礼物！”

Aunt May did not understand technological gadgets. What she did know was that Peter was a good kid. He had been all year long. If she could do something to make him this happy, it was hard for her to say no. She smiled and said, "Who am I to question a watch's life-changing abilities? All right, Peter. I will get you the watch as your gift this year." Peter clapped his hands. "Thank you, thank you!" he said. He gave his aunt a hug. Then he slung his backpack over his shoulder and began to walk away. "Peter," Aunt May said. "Where are you going?"

梅阿姨不懂科技小玩意。 她只知道彼得是个好孩子。 他一整年都是这样。 如果她能做点什么让他这么开心，她很难拒绝。 她笑着说：“我凭什么质疑手表改变人生的能力？ 好吧，彼得。今年我一定送你这块表作为礼物。” 彼得拍了拍手。“谢谢，谢谢！”他说。 他拥抱了姑姑一下。然后他把背包挂在肩上，开始走开。 “彼得，”梅姨妈说。“你要去哪儿？”
