How not to babysit your brother?
照顾弟弟的错误指南
Little brothers are trouble. Hi, my name is Will. I live with my parents, my grandma, my dog Buster, and my little brother Steve. Steve is trouble. He's loud, he's smelly, and he's always around. If you have a little brother, you know exactly what I mean. Last week, I found out just how much trouble he could be. That's when I learned how not to babysit my brother.
小弟弟都是大麻烦。 嗨,我叫威尔。我和爸爸妈妈、奶奶、我的小狗巴斯特,还有小弟弟史蒂夫住在一起。 史蒂夫可太麻烦了。他吵吵嚷嚷,臭烘烘的,还总黏在你身边。 如果你也有个小弟弟,肯定完全懂我在说什么。 上周我见识到了他到底能有多麻烦,也就是那时候我学会了怎么把看弟弟这件事搞砸。
It all started when mom went shopping. Dad was out playing golf. I was playing my new video game, Cowboy Stampede. I was about to reach level 5. Usually, my cowboy got championed on level 3. Bye mom, I said. Bye mom. Steve sent out. He likes to copy everything I do. We will be fine. Grandma told mom. Don't worry.
一切都要从妈妈出门买东西说起,那时候爸爸出去打高尔夫了。 我正在玩我的新电子游戏《牛仔大冲锋》,马上就要升到5级了。 往常我的牛仔最多打到3级就通关了。 “妈妈再见。”我说。“妈妈再见。” 史蒂夫也跟着喊,他总爱学我做的每一件事。 “我们不会有事的,”奶奶告诉妈妈,“别担心。”
After mom left, I went back to my game. Suddenly I felt a tug on my arm. Can I play? It was Steve, of course. Go away! I said, but it was too late. The call trampled by my call boy. Two words came on the screen. Game over. Look what you did! Torp had. I said.
妈妈走了之后,我回到游戏跟前。突然我感觉有人拽了拽我的胳膊。 “我能玩吗?”不用问,肯定是史蒂夫。 “走开!”我喊道,但已经太晚了。 我的牛仔被踩扁了。 屏幕上跳出两个字。 游戏结束。 “看看你干的好事!” 我气坏了,吼道。
