11 Wrap Party

CHAPTER 11 Wrap Party After about a dozen takes, with breaks for Oshyn to run in and fix people's hair or powder their faces, it was all over. "Penny, you were so good!" I said, now that I was allowed to actually speak out loud and not just pretend to be talking. "I knew you could do it," Dad said. Superstar Sam gave her a hug, and then she gave ME a hug. "Thanks for all your help," she told me.

第十一章 杀青派对 大概拍了十几条，中间奥辛时不时进来给大家整理发型、补扑散粉，拍摄终于全部结束了。 “佩妮，你演得太棒啦！” 我说道，现在我终于能真的出声说话，不用只是装出在聊天的样子了。 “我就知道你能做到的。”爸爸说。 超级明星萨姆抱了她一下，接着她还抱了我。 “多谢你帮了我这么多忙。”她对我说。

I felt an eensy weensy bit speechless again, and I said, "You're welcome," in my softest voice. There were more hugs, and lots of action going on—not the filming kind of action. Just the activity kind, of people moving around, talking, that kind of thing. We were scooted off to the side so we wouldn't get in anyone's way. And there was someone waiting for us. "Mom! You're here! But I thought... what are you doing here?" "I snuck in at the last minute," she explained. "I didn't want to miss my girls" television debut—especially since it's not going to happen again for a long time." "Until we're grown-ups," Penny said. "And maybe not even then," I added. "I don't know if I want to be an actress anymore.

我又有点说不出话了，只能用最轻的声音说了句“不客气”。 大家又互相拥抱了好多次，现场好多事在忙——不是拍戏的那种忙。 就是大家走来走去、聊天说话的那种热闹氛围。 我们被请到一边待着，免得挡到别人的路。 还有个人正在那儿等着我们呢。 “妈妈！ 你怎么来了呀！ 可是我还以为…… 你怎么会在这里呀？” “我最后一刻偷偷溜进来的。”她解释道。 “我可不想错过我两个女儿的电视首秀呀——更何况之后好长一段时间都不会有这种机会了。” “要等我们长大成人才会有啦。”佩妮说。 “说不定长大之后也不会有呢。”我接了一句。 “我觉得我不想当演员了。

I think I'm happy just being a writer." "Whatever you want to be is fine with me," Mom said. "But you have plenty of time to decide. You get to be a kid first." "Do we still have time for treats?" I asked Dad. "Oh yeah!" Joshua said. "TREATS!" He doesn't even use his inside voice on a TV set. Dad looked at his watch. "We've got to get home for your brother." "Why don't you get Marco," Mom said. "I'll take our TV stars for a treat." "Goody!" I said. "Are you getting fudge?" Superstar Sam asked. Oh my goodness, I didn't realize she was standing right behind me! And now she was talking to me again! This was our THIRD

我觉得当作家就挺开心的。” “你想当什么妈妈都支持你。”妈妈说。 “不过你还有好多时间慢慢想呢。 先好好当小朋友就行啦。” “那我们还有时间去吃好吃的吗？” 我问爸爸。 “当然有啦！” 约书亚喊道。 “好吃的！” 在电视台片场他都不知道放低声音说话。 爸爸看了看手表。 “我们得回家接你弟弟。” “你去接马尔科吧。”妈妈说。 我带咱们家的电视明星去买好吃的。” “太棒啦！” 我说道。 “你要买软糖吗？” 超级明星萨姆问道。 天呐，我都没发现她就站在我身后！ 现在她又在跟我说话了！ 这可是我们第三次

conversation! I wished I hadn't said "goody" in front of her, since that was kind of babyish. I felt my cheeks warm up, and I knew they were getting that pink bubble gum-ish color they get when I'm a little embarrassed. "Yeah," I said. "That's what I always get when we go to Batts Confections." "It's our store," Penny added. "You have a candy store?!" Superstar Sam asked. "Yup," Penny said. "That's the coolest thing I've ever heard!" "But you're on TV!" I said. "What could be cooler than that?" "Owning my very own candy store." "It's not really our very own," I said. "Our parents are the owners." "It's still super cool."

说话呀！ 我真后悔在她面前说“太棒啦”，听起来有点傻乎乎的。 我感觉脸颊发烫，我知道现在我的脸肯定变成那种粉泡泡糖的颜色了，每次我有点不好意思的时候就会这样。 “对呀。”我说。 “每次我们去巴茨甜品店我都会买这个。” “那是我们家的店哦。”佩妮补充道。 “你们家有一家糖果店？！” 超级明星萨姆惊讶地问。 “是呀。”佩妮说。 “这是我听过最酷的事了！” “可是你上电视了呀！” 我说。 “还有什么比上电视更酷的呀？” “拥有一家属于我自己的糖果店呀。” “其实不算我们自己的啦。”我说。 “店是我爸爸妈妈开的。” “那还是超级酷呀。”

"Do you want to come?" I asked. "Sure," she said. Oh my goodness! Superstar Sam was going to come to OUR store?! "Let me ask my mom." Superstar Sam had a mom! A real-live one, not the one who was her mom on TV. I mean, of course she did. But I guess I kind of forgot that she was a regular person, too. Maybe it was time I started thinking about her as Thalia. "Hey, Mom!" she called out. A woman who'd been standing in the background the whole time turned around. I had no idea she was Thalia's mom. Boy, she must be so proud of her daughter. Like, the proudest mom in the whole entire world. "Yes?" she said. Superstar Sam—I mean Thalia—

“那你要不要一起来呀？” 我问她。 “好呀。”她说道。 我的天呐！ 超级明星萨姆居然要去我们家的店？！ “我去问问我妈妈。” 超级明星萨姆也有妈妈呀！ 是现实里的妈妈，不是电视剧里演她妈妈的那个。 哦，她当然有妈妈啦。 但我好像之前都忘了她也只是个普通人而已。 或许我该开始试着把她当成塔莉亚来看了。 “嘿，妈妈！” 她大声喊道。 一个一直站在后台的女人转过身来。 我之前完全不知道她就是塔莉亚的妈妈。 天呐，她肯定为自己的女儿特别骄傲吧。 肯定是全世界最骄傲的妈妈。 “怎么啦？”她问。 超级明星萨姆——我是说塔莉亚——
