《阁楼里的海蒂》 改编自海蒂·麦克格鲁德的日记 作者：斯蒂芬·科斯格罗夫 插画：卡罗琳·拉波特 思考问题 海蒂的假期和她预想的一样吗？ 为什么呢？

My name is Hattie McGruder, and I am special. At least that's what my grandma Nettie says. I spent two weeks with her this summer. I didn't want to go. But by the time I got back, I was glad I had.

我叫海蒂·麦克格鲁德，我很特别 至少内蒂奶奶是这么说我的 今年夏天我去她那儿住了两周 我本来不想去的 可等我回家的时候，我真开心我去了

On the last day I was there, I found a hat in my grandma's attic. It was a magical hat. I'm not making this up. It really was magical.

我在那儿的最后一天，在奶奶的阁楼上发现了一顶帽子 那是一顶有魔法的帽子 我没有瞎编哦 它真的有魔法

When I got back, I told my friends Sybil and Sarah what had happened, but they said I was lying. Well, I wasn't, and they're liars and fibbers and tellers of untruth. I have proof that the hat was magical. The proof is in my diary.

回家之后，我把这件事告诉了朋友西比尔和萨拉，可她们说我在撒谎 哼，我才没撒谎，她们才是满嘴谎话的大骗子 我有证据证明这顶帽子真的有魔法 证据就在我的日记里

special note. I'm not going to let you read that Eric Ledbetter wrote a love note to Sarah. Even though she is a liar and a fibber and a teller of untruths, Sarah would be so embarrassed if anyone knew Eric had written the love note. Even she doesn't deserve that.

特别声明 我才不会给你们看埃里克·莱德贝特写给萨拉的情书呢 就算萨拉满嘴谎话，可要是别人知道这件事，她肯定会特别难为情 就算是她，也不该受这种尴尬呀

Diary, day 14. Sarah, Sybil, and I had our summer all planned, but Mom, who probably has never had a summer vacation, told me tonight that I had to go to Grandma Nettie's for two weeks. Two weeks? It might as well be two years.

日记，第14天 我和萨拉、西比尔早就把暑假安排好了，可妈妈今晚说我必须去内蒂奶奶家住两周，她大概从来没好好过过暑假吧 整整两周啊？ 说这是两年都不为过
