3 A List of Really Awful Things

CHAPTER 3 A List of Really Awful Things That Happen When You Wake Up and There's Gum in Your Hair 1. At first you don't even know what happened. Something just feels different. 2. Then you sit up and reach your hand to your cheek, which is the place where it feels the weirdest. And then you find out that the reason it feels so weird is because your hair is stuck there. And the reason that your hair is

第三章 起床发现头发粘口香糖后发生的一堆倒霉事清单 1. 一开始你根本没搞懂出了什么事 就是感觉有点不对劲 2. 然后你坐起身，伸手摸了摸感觉最奇怪的脸颊 接着你发现，不对劲是因为头发粘在这儿了 而你的头发之所以

stuck there is because you went to sleep with gum in your mouth, and sometime in the middle of the night, the gum fell out of your mouth and landed in your hair. 3. Your little sister comes into your room without knocking—even though she's supposed to knock since there's a sign on your door that says, This is Stella's Room. If You Are Not Stella Then Please Knock—and she turns on the lights and says, "What happened to your hair? It's sticking out on the sides, like Pippi Longstocking!" 4. So you go over to the big mirror, and your sister follows you because she's always following you and copying you. Your hair is all bunched up in a clump by the left side of your face.

粘在这儿，是因为你含着口香糖就睡着了，半夜的时候，口香糖从你嘴里掉出来，粘到了头发上 3. 你的妹妹没敲门就进了房间——明明门上贴了告示要求她必须敲门，上面写着：这是斯特拉的房间 如果你不是斯特拉，请敲门——然后她打开灯说：“你的头发怎么了？ 两边都翘起来，就像长袜子皮皮一样！” 4. 于是你走到大镜子前，妹妹跟在你身后，她总跟着你，学你做事情 你左脸边的头发缠成了硬硬的一大团

5. Your sister says, "Hey, that's gum in your hair!" And then she says she'll go wake up your parents so they can help get it out. But you're not supposed to wake your parents up before 8:00 a.m. on weekends, unless it's an emergency. 6. Besides you don't want your parents to know about the gum because then they'll figure out you chewed it after bedtime, which is also not allowed. 7. At first you try and pull the clump out, but it hurts to pull your own hair. Even when you press one hand on top of your head, right by the roots, the way your mom does when she's brushing the knots out of your hair, it still hurts a lot. And anyway, the gum is super stuck.

5. 妹妹说：“嘿，你头发里粘的是口香糖！” 然后她说要去叫醒爸妈，让他们帮忙把口香糖弄掉 不过周末早上八点前不能叫醒爸妈，除非是紧急情况 6. 再说你也不想让爸妈知道，不然他们会发现你上床后还嚼口香糖，这本来就是不允许的 7. 一开始你试着扯掉那团粘糖的头发，可是扯头发太疼了 就算你学着妈妈梳打结头发的样子，用手按住头顶发根处，还是疼得厉害 而且口香糖粘得实在太牢了

8. You get your art scissors, because you think maybe you can cut the gum out. It's just there on the side, right by the edge of your bangs. So if you cut it, it will just look like you have a little bit more bangs.

8. 你拿来做手工的剪刀，想着说不定能把口香糖剪下来 它就在侧边，刚好挨着刘海边缘 剪掉这块，只不过是刘海变多一点而已

9. Once you have the scissors, you sit down right in front of the mirror and get to work. For an eensy weensy piece of gum, it sure is stuck to a lot of your hair. You make sure to cut so it matches up with the bangs you already have. 10. Then your sister brings over the princess mirror so you can hold it up the way they do at the hair salon and see all the angles. You notice that the bangs on the left side go back on your head a little more than the ones of the right, so you decide to even it out. 11. As you are trimming some more your sister says, "I think you're cutting too much." 12. You look in the mirror and see that she's right: you have way too many bangs. They

9. 拿好剪刀后，你对着镜子坐下，开始动手 不过是一丁点儿口香糖，居然粘了这么多头发 你小心下剪，想让剪出来的形状和原本的刘海对齐 10. 然后妹妹拿来了公主小镜子，你就能学着理发店的样子举着镜子看各个角度 你发现左边刘海比右边多凹进去一点，于是打算把它修整齐 11. 你接着修剪的时候，妹妹说：“我觉得你剪太多了。” 12. 你对着镜子一看，她说得没错：你的刘海实在太多太宽了 它们
