我只希望朱莉·贝克能离我远点|All I ever wanted was for Juli Baker to leave me alone.故事始于一年级暑假 1957年的夏天|It all began in the summer of 1957, before the start of second grade.我们到家啦|Here we are.你们觉得这里怎么样? 我挺喜欢的|What do you guys think? I like this place.很赞呢 我的房间是什么颜色?|It's cool. Uh, what color is my room?别急嘛|Just you wait.咱们进去瞧瞧 嘿 布莱斯|Let's see what's inside.

Hey, hey, what are you doing?要我帮忙吗?|Don't you want some help?不必了 那里面都是贵重物品|No. There's some valuable things in there.那我就搬这个吧 不用了|How about this one? No, no, no.赶紧回家吧 你妈妈没准在找你呢|Run home. Your mother's probably wondering where you are.没关系 我妈妈知道我在哪 她同意我过来|Oh, no, my mom knows where I am. She said it's fine.显然这姑娘也太不识趣了|It didn't take long to realize this girl could not take a hint.咱们仨在这儿有点挤吧 不要紧啊|It's crowded in here with three people. I don't mind.毫无自知之明 我们一起推吧?|Of any kind. You wanna push this one together?布莱斯 你妈妈还等着你去帮忙吧?|Bryce, isn't it time for you to go help your mother?是啊是啊|Oh, yeah.我真是拿她没辙|I mean, nothing would stop her.我终于忍无可忍 这时候诡异的事情却发生了|I was about to tell her to get lost when the weirdest thing happened.我真是难以置信|I couldn't believe it.我居然会牵着陌生女孩的手|There I was holding hands with this strange girl.我咋就惹上了这种麻烦? 你好呀|How did I get into this mess? Well, hello.看来你已经认识我儿子了|I see you've met my son我不得不使出7岁男生仅有的气概|Finally, I did the only manly thing available when you're 7 years old.然而 还有一大串的麻烦等着我|However, my troubles were far from over.就在我走进叶尔森老师的教室时|The minute I walked into Miss Yelson's classroom布莱斯? 你也在这啊|Bryce? You're here.很显然|it was clear:即使在学校 也无法逃脱她的魔掌|School would not be a sanctuary.嘿 布莱斯 你女朋友呢?|Hey, Bryce, where's your girlfriend?枉我一世英名啊|I was branded for life.嘿 布莱斯 你咋不向她求婚呢?|Hey, Bryce, why don't you ask her to marry you?布莱斯和朱莉爬上树梢|Bryce and Juli sitting in a tree卿卿我我甜如蜜|K-l-S-S-l-N-G搬来镇上的第一年简直就是场灾难|My first year in town was a disaster.瞧那小两口呀|Look at them.接下来的三年也不尽如人意|And the next three weren't much better.就这么捱到了六年级 我总算不再坐以待毙|But finally, in the sixth grade, I took action.想到了一个大狠招|I hatched the plan.雪利|Sherry.雪利 等一下|Sherry, wait up.嗨 布莱斯|Hi, Bryce. Heh.我向雪利·斯道尔斯展开攻势|I asked out Sherry Stalls.我想问你愿不愿意...|I was wondering if you wanted to go这个招数的绝妙之处在于|To full appreciate the brilliance of this plan雪利·斯道尔斯是朱莉的眼中钉|you have to understand that Juli hated Sherry Stalls但我始终想不通其中的缘由|though I never understood why.雪利长发飘飘 为人和善|Sherry was nice, friendly and she had a lot of hair.我妈之前一直不让我打耳洞 后来我拼命求她|At first, my mother wouldn't let me get my ears pierced, but I begged我原本一心指望 只要和雪利吃吃饭|The idea was that Sherry would eat with me散散步 就能让朱莉知难而退|maybe we'd walk around together, and hopefully Juli would lose interest.她还是不允许我16岁前打耳洞|But I still can't get the hoops till I'm 16.太可惜了|Oh, that's a shame.米娜妮也想打耳洞|So Melanie wanted to get her ears pierced,但她老妈也不是省油的灯|but of course her mother said no.她就在家大发雷霆|So she threw a fit把约翰尼·马蒂斯的精选辑给砸了|and smashed her Johnny Mathis Greatest Hits album结果就被禁足了|and she got grounded,连我的睡衣派对都来不了|so now she can't come to my pajama sleepover party.事情进展相当顺利|Things were unfolding quite nicely.你的科学实验打算怎么做?|What are you doing for your science project?直到我所谓的挚友加利特·埃恩德|That is, until my supposed best friend, Garrett Einbinder开始打起了雪利的主意|took an interest in Sherry himself.我想展示各种护发素|I was thinking of showing how split ends react如何修复头发分叉|with different hair conditioners.太棒了|That's fascinating.俗话说得好 重色必轻友 加利特这个叛徒|Loyalty gave way to desire and Garrett, the turncoat向雪利全盘托出我的计划|told Sherry what I was up to.混蛋|Jerk.她自然很是生气|She didn't take it well.至于朱莉|Word got back to Juli,她自然又开始对我故技重施|and pretty soon she started up with the goo-goo eyes again.而且还变本加厉|Only this time it was worse.居然开始嗅我|She started sniffing me.你没听错 她居然用鼻子嗅我|That's right, sniffing me.搞什么飞机啊?|What was that all about?我只能期望来年能摆脱魔掌|My only consolation was that next year would be different.但愿升入初中后|Junior high, bigger school.不用再和她同班|Maybe we'd be in different classes彻底结束我的噩梦|and it would finally, finally be over.见到布莱斯·罗斯基的第一眼 我便怦然心动了|The first day I met Bryce Loski, I flipped.他的双眸让我如痴如醉|It was those eyes, something in those dazzling eyes.我们一起推吧?|You wanna push this one together?那时候他们刚搬到我家隔壁|His family had just moved into the neighborhood我过去帮他们搬东西|and I'd gone over to help them.我在车里刚呆了2分钟|I'd been in the van all of two minutes他老爸就让她去帮他妈妈|when his dad sent him off to help his mom.我知道他并不想离开|I could see he didn't wanna go.于是我追上前去|So I chased after him to see问他能不能先玩一会再进屋|if we could play a little before he got trapped inside.接着他便用力握着我的手|The next thing I know, he's holding my hand与我深情凝视|and looking right into my eyes.那一刹那 我的心停止了跳动|My heart stopped.这一刻到来了吗?|Was this it?是时候迎来我的初吻了吗?|Would this be my first kiss?没想到他妈妈却出来了 你好呀|But then his mother came out. Well, hello.他感到无比羞愧 脸都红了|And he was so embarrassed, his cheeks turned completely red.那晚我躺在床上 不停幻想初吻的场景|I went to bed that night thinking of the kiss that might have been.我知道他对我动心了|I mean, it was clear he had feelings for me,只是怯于表达爱意|but he was just too shy to show them.妈妈说过男孩子都会这样|My mother said boys were like that.我决定帮他克服心中的恐惧|So I decided to help him out.布莱斯? 你也在这啊|Bryce? You're here.我会竭尽所能帮他彻底释放自我|I would give him plenty of opportunity to get over his shyness.六年级那年 我学着有所收敛|By the sixth grade, I'd learned to control myself.没想到半路却杀出个雪利·斯道尔斯|Then Sherry Stalls entered the picture.雪利·斯道尔斯就是一人尽可夫的长舌妇|Sherry Stalls was nothing but a whiny, gossipy, backstabbing flirt.头发长见识短|All hair and no substance.而且她竟然...|And there she was和布莱斯十指紧扣 那可是我家布莱斯|holding hands with Bryce. My Bryce.我的初吻白马王子|The one who was walking around with my first kiss.我决定对她视而不见 依照布莱斯的品性|My solution was to ignore her. I knew a boy of Bryce's caliber总有一天能意识到雪利有多浅薄无知|would eventually see through a shallow conniver like Sherry Stalls.如我所料 他俩一周后便分手了|It took all of a week. They broke up at recess.她也不看看自己几斤几两|She didn't take it well.自从布莱斯摆脱了朱莉的魔掌|Now that Bryce was out of Sherry's evil clutches,对我也变得更为友善|he started being nicer to me.嗨 朱莉 嗨 布莱斯|Hi, Juli. Hi, Bryce.他如此腼腆可人|He was so shy and so cute他的发丝间弥漫着西瓜的香氛|and his hair, it smelled like watermelon.我简直如痴如醉|I couldn't get enough of it.整整一年我都沉浸在这迷人的芬芳里|I spent the whole year secretly sniffing watermelon期盼着何时能迎来我的初吻|and wondering if I was ever going to get my kiss.升入初一后 生活开始有所改观|Seventh grade brought changes, all right.但最大的变化并非学校|But the biggest one didn't happen at school.而是出现在家中|It happened at home.外公搬来与我们同住|My grandfather came to live with us.妈妈说他是过于思念外婆 才会如此迷惘|Mom said he stared like that because he missed Grandma.但他怎么可能对我推心置腹呢|That was not something Grandpa would ever talk about with me.其实他在我面前总是沉默寡言|As a matter of fact, he never talked about much of anything with me.直到朱莉的名字登上了当地报纸|That is, until Juli appeared in the local newspaper.布莱斯 能和你聊聊吗? 有事吗?|Oh, Bryce. May I speak with you? What?坐吧 孩子|Have a seat, son.跟我说说你的朋友朱莉·贝克吧|Tell me about your friend Juli Baker.其实朱莉算不上是我朋友|Juli. She's not exactly my friend.为什么呢?|Oh. Why's that?你怎么突然问这个?|Why do you wanna know?朱莉·贝克登上梅菲尔德时报|Now, Juli Baker did not wind up in The Mayfield Times可不是因为她天赋异禀|for being an eighth-grade Einstein.而是因为她赖在无花果树上|No, she got front-page coverage because she refused死活不肯下来|to climb out of a sycamore tree.朱莉·贝克和那棵白痴无花果树|Juli Baker and that stupid sycamore tree.她认为那棵树|She always thought it was God's gift是上帝对我们的恩赐|to our little corner of the universe.嘿 布莱斯 过来和我们一起爬树不?|Hey, Bryce. Wanna come climb the tree with me and my brothers?不了 谢谢|No, thanks.布莱斯 快上来嘛 很好玩的|Bryce. Come up here. It's fun.可以看到全世界呢 我没空|You can see everything. I can't.我爸爸让我帮他去修...|My dad needs me to help him fix修东西|a thing.拉倒吧|That's all I needed.我才不要和朱莉·贝克一起爬树呢|Climb up a tree with Juli Baker.我可不想重温二年级的噩梦|I'd be dragged right back into the second grade.布莱斯和朱莉爬上树梢|Bryce and Juli sitting in a tree.我宁可下半辈子吃青豆度日|Why don't you just make me eat lima beans for the rest of my life.还有三个街区就来了|It's three blocks away.只剩两个喽|Two blocks.还有最后一个|One block away.还真把自己当回事 最受不了她这种人了|Like that's valuable information. I hate it when she does that.真希望校车哪天能罢工|I like to think there's at least a chance the bus won't show.这棵树在晨曦中显得尤为美丽 你说对么?|I think the tree looks particularly beautiful in this light. Don't you?如果你所谓的美丽是指奇丑无比|If by "beautiful" you mean "unbelievably ugly,"那我绝对赞成|then, yes, I would agree.你眼神不太好吧 我真同情你|You're just visually challenged. I feel sorry for you.眼神不太好?|"Visually challenged"?眼神不太好?|"Visually challenged"?她家不也是街坊邻里的笑柄么|This from the girl who lived in a house居然敢这么说我?|that was the joke of the neighborhood?灌木爬满了窗台 门前杂草丛生|They had bushes growing over windows and weeds all over the place.我老爸为此很是不爽|It bugged my dad bigtime.哟 快瞧瞧|Oh, there he is.砌墙工当自己是大画家呢|The bricklayer who thinks he's a painter.嫌那破车不够寒碜|That truck's not ugly enough in real life?还得画幅画裱起来?|He's gotta make a painting of it?人家的风景画可是集市上的抢手货|No, he does landscapes. Sells them at the county fair.大家都夸赞他呢|People say they're beautiful.风景画? 要我说吧|Landscapes? Let me tell you something.他要是能把院子拾掇拾掇|The world would have more beauty in it这个世界一定会更加美好|if he'd do a little landscaping on that piece of crap he calls a yard.我真同情他老婆 嫁了这么个幻想家|I feel bad for his wife. She married a dreamer.梦想与现实间的冲突 总得有一个人来承受|Because of that, one of the two of them will always be unhappy.没错 可为啥要殃及无辜呢?|Yeah, fine. But why do we have to be unhappy?和朱莉·贝克成天赖在树上相比|As annoying as the yard was to my dad她家那院子其实也不见得有多惹人生厌|it was nothing compared to how annoying Juli Baker was in that tree.还有三个街区哦|Three blocks away.每天早上我们都不得不忍受|Every morning we had to listen to the sound她极为啰嗦的交通播报|of her blow-by-blow traffic report.还有两个了|Two blocks.到喽|There you go.为什么要叫"三个臭皮匠"呢?|Why do they call it The Three Stooges?明明有五个人啊 什么?|I mean, there's five of them.

I mean, he shouldn't even be a Stooge.姑娘 我可要报警了|Listen, girl, I'm this close to calling the police.你侵犯私人土地 妨碍施工|You are trespassing and obstructing progress on a contracted job.怎么了? 你最好自己下来|What's going on? Either you come down要不我们就砍树了 你们赶紧上来吧|or we're gonna cut you down. You guys, come up here with me.咱们人一多他们就不敢砍了|They won't cut it down if we're all up here.车来了 朱莉真是疯了|Bus, bus, bus. Juli was frantic.他们想把树给砍了|They wanted to cut down her tree.真不明白那无比畸形的树|I couldn't understand why that mutant tangle of gnarly branches在她心里怎么就那么重要 布莱斯 求你了|meant so much to her. Bryce, please.我很同情她 别管她|I felt bad for her. Leave her.但我可不至于为此旷课|But I wasn't about to cut school over it.走吧 哥们儿|Come on, bro.你为什么不把她当朋友呢 布莱斯?|Why isn't she your friend, Bryce?等你真正了解朱莉就明白了|You'd have to know Juli.我倒真想认识她|Well, I'd like to.为什么?|Why?这姑娘挺有骨气的|That girl has an iron backbone.要不你抽空请她来家里玩?|Why don't you invite her over sometime?有骨气?|An iron backbone?她那是一根筋|She's just stubborn而且还很自以为是|and she's pushy beyond belief.是这样吗?|Is that so?她从二年级起就老是缠着我|And she's been stalking me since the second grade.这种女孩可是可遇不可求的|Well, a girl like that doesn't live next door to everyone.谁遇上谁倒霉|Lucky them.看看这个|Read this.放下心中的成见|Without prejudice.我才没兴趣去了解朱莉·贝克|Like I needed to know anything more about Juli Baker.第二天早上朱莉没去等校车|Juli wasn't at the bus stop the next morning.第三天也不见她出现|Or the morning after that.不知道她怎么来学校的|She was at school, but you'd never know it.小乔伊? 他那妆也太浓了 他不显老啊|Little Joe? He's got so much makeup on He doesn't age.我告诉自己应该感到庆幸|I told myself I should be glad about it.这不就是我日期夜盼的吗?|I mean, isn't that what I'd always wanted?但我仍替她感到难过|But still, I felt bad for her.我想跟她说声对不起 但是一想 还是算了|I was gonna tell her I was sorry, but then I thought, hey, no我可真不希望|that's the last thing I needed:让朱莉·贝克以为我在想她|Juli Baker thinking I missed her.我知道你为什么喜欢这里|I see why you like to come out here.那你能开导开导你老妈不?|Would you mind explaining it to your mother?我喜欢看着爸爸作画|I loved to watch my father paint.更喜欢在他画画时和他聊天|Or really, I loved to hear him talk while he painted.这样能让我更了解他|I learned a lot about my dad that way.他和我无话不谈|He told me all sorts of things比如他怎样得到第一份工作|like how he got his first job delivering hay他多么渴望能完成学业|and how he'd wished he'd finished college.有一天 他出人意料地问我|Then one day he surprised me.你和布莱斯·罗斯基是怎么回事?|What's going on with you and, uh, Bryce Loski?什么怎么回事啊? 没什么呀|What do you mean? Nothing.那好吧|Oh, okay.是我想多了|My mistake.你怎么会这么想?|Why would you even think that?其实也没什么|No reason.只是你成天|Just that you都把他挂在嘴边|talk about him all the time.我有吗?|I do?我也不知道|I don't know.也许我被他的双眼所吸引吧|I guess it's something about his eyes.还有他迷人的微笑|Or maybe his smile.那他人怎么样?|But what about him?什么? 你得考虑画的整体效果|What? You have to look at the whole landscape.什么意思?|What does that mean?一幅画绝非简单拼凑就能完成|A painting is more than the sum of its parts.一头牛只是一头牛|A cow by itself is just a cow.草地也只长满了青草和花朵|A meadow by itself is just grass, flowers.阳光照进大树的枝桠 亦不过缕缕薄光|And the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light.但你若能将它们衔接拼凑|But you put them all together却能收获意想不到的成果|and it can be magic.我对他的话一知半解 直到一天下午|I didn't really understand what he was saying until one afternoon我爬上无花果树的枝头|when I was up in the sycamore tree.试图去捡风筝|I was rescuing a kite.它挂得很高 我从没爬过这么高|It was a long way up, higher than I'd ever been.但我发现爬得越高 眼前的景象便愈发迷人|And the higher I got, the more amazed I was by the view.沁人心脾的微风迎面扑来|I began to notice how wonderful the breeze smelled.夹杂着阳光和野草的芬芳|Like sunshine and wild grass.我忍不住大口呼吸|I couldn't stop breathing it in让肺里溢满甜美醉人的气息|filling my lungs with the sweetest smell I'd ever known.嘿 我的风筝被你找到了|Hey, you found my kite.布莱斯 你真该上来看看|Bryce, you should come up here.太美了|It's so beautiful.不行 我扭伤了...|I can't. I sprained my, um我出疹子了|I have a rash.从那一刻起 我彻底爱上了这里|From that moment on, that became my spot.我可以坐上好几个钟头 静静欣赏这世界|I could sit there for hours, just looking out at the world.落日时而泛着微醺的紫红|Some days the sunsets would be purple and pink.时而迸发出橙色的余晖|And some days they were a blazing orange瞬间布满天边的晚霞|setting fire to the clouds on the horizon.在如此瑰丽的景象中|It was during one of those sunsets that my father's idea我终于慢慢有所领悟|of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts爸爸所说的整体胜于全部|moved from my head to my heart.有时我会起个大早 只为去看日出|Some days I would get there extra early to watch the sunrise.一天清晨 我在心里兀自揣度|One morning I was making mental notes应该如何向爸爸描绘|of how the streaks of light were cutting through the clouds缕缕曙光穿透云层的景象|so I could tell my dad下面却传来阵阵嘈杂|when I heard a noise below.不好意思|Excuse me.抱歉 你们不能停在这里 这是校车站台|Excuse me. I'm sorry, but you can't park there. That's a bus stop.你在上面干嘛呢?|Hey, what are you doing up there?赶紧下来 我们要砍树了|You can't be up there, we're gonna take this thing down.砍这棵树? 没错 快下来吧|The tree? Yeah. Now come on down.谁批准你们砍树的? 树的主人啊|But who told you, you could cut it down? The owner.为什么?|Why?他想在这里建房 这棵树挡道了|He's gonna build a house, and this tree's in the way.姑娘 赶紧下来吧 我们得开工了|So come on, girl, we got work to do.你们不能砍这棵树 不能砍|You can't cut it down. You just can't.姑娘 你再不下来我就报警了|Listen, girl. I'm this close to calling the police.你侵犯私人土地 妨碍施工|You are trespassing and obstructing progress on a contracted job.你再不下来 我们就直接砍了|Now either you come down, or we're gonna cut you down.来吧 要砍就砍吧|Go ahead. Cut me down.我不下去 坚决不下去|I'm not coming down. I'm never coming down.布莱斯 你们快上来帮我啊|Bryce. You guys, come up here with me.上面人一多 他们就不敢砍了|They won't cut it down if we're all up here.布莱斯 别让他们砍树啊|Bryce, please don't let them do this.求你们了|Come on, you guys.布莱斯 求你了 你不用爬很高的|Bryce, please. You don't have to come up this high. Just a little ways.布莱斯 求求你了|Bryce, please. Please.从那之后 一切都变得模糊起来|What happened after that was a blur.似乎整个镇上的人都围了过来|It seemed like the whole town was there.但我一直坚持不肯下去|But still I wouldn't move.爸爸后来赶了过来|Then my father showed up.他说服消防员 架了楼梯爬上来|He talked a fireman into letting him come up to where I was.宝贝儿 我们下去吧|Sweetie, it's time to come down.爸爸 别让他们砍树|Daddy, please don't let them do this.宝贝儿 爸爸 你看啊|Sweetie Daddy, look.在这里可以俯瞰整个世界|You can see everything. You can see the whole world from here.万里河山也不及我女儿的安危重要 下去吧|No view is worth my daughter's safety. Now, come on.我不走|I can't.朱莉安娜 别耍小性子了|Julianna, it's time to come down now.求你了 爸爸|Please, Daddy.听话 下去吧|It's time.就这么结束了|And that was it.我整整两周都以泪洗面|I must've cried for two weeks straight.我仍然坚持上学 异常用功|Oh, sure, I went to school and did the best I could却感觉生活失去了重心|but nothing seemed to matter.朱莉? 啊?|Juli? Huh?你知道答案是什么吗?|Do you know the answer?伯罗奔尼撒战争?|Uh, the Peloponnesian War?这也许是某个问题的答案|I'm sure that's the answer to something但我问的是菱形的面积|but I was looking for the area of a rhomboid.其实 菱形三角形之类的|Somehow, rhomboids and isosceles right triangles在我看来并不重要|didn't seem so important.我开始骑车上学 只为避开那个伤心地|I rode my bike so I wouldn't have to pass by the stump那里曾经矗立着世上最美的无花果树|that used to be the earth's most magnificent sycamore tree.但不管我怎么努力 我对它始终心有念想|But no matter what I did, I couldn't stop thinking about it.你还好吧?|Are you okay?不就是一棵树么|It was just a tree.那不仅只是一棵树|No, it wasn't just a tree.希望你能将树梢的美好时光永存心底|I never want you to forget how you felt when you were up there.谢谢你 爸爸|Thanks, Dad.我每天醒来就会看着这幅画|It was the first thing I saw every morning它亦每天伴着我入眠|and the last thing I saw before I went to sleep.直到有一天看着它 我不再泪眼朦胧|And once I could look at it without crying我领悟到了更深层的寓意|I saw more than the tree and what being up there meant to me.我的世界观开始有了细微的变化|I saw the day that my view of things around me started changing.我不禁问自己 我对布莱斯的感情是否一如往日?|And I wondered, did I still feel the same things about Bryce?我向来对鸡蛋不感冒|I've never been a huge fan of eggs.既不喜欢 也说不上讨厌|I mean, I could always just take them or leave them.但那天在斯凯勒·布朗家的车库里|That is, until one day in Skyler Brown's garage让我对鸡蛋的厌恶根深蒂固|when my feelings about eggs were solidified.嘿 伙计们 艾德娜的早餐有着落喽|Hey, hey, hey. Guys. Edna's found her breakfast.黏糊糊软趴趴的动物喜欢的食物|I mean, if a slimy reptile found them appetizing我想想都觉得恶心|there was certainly no place for them in my diet.天啊 太给力了|Oh, man, that's so cool.她连嚼都不用嚼 省时又省心|She doesn't even have to chew. I mean, think of all the time you'd save.都怨我姐姐丽奈特|I could've gone my whole life not knowing that snakes eat eggs raw非要来找斯凯勒·布朗商量联赛的事|if it hadn't been for Lynetta.要不我这辈子都不想看蛇活吞鸡蛋|She had a major-league thing for Skyler Brown.真够恶心的|I think it's gross.他和朱莉的哥哥马特和马克 组了个乐队|He and Juli's brothers, Matt and Mark, had formed a band.丽奈特要看着他们排练|And Lynetta would watch them practice.太赞了吧|That is so neat.你觉得呢 布莱斯?|How about that, huh, Bryce?是啊 够给力的|Yeah.

Here he goes.这才叫吃鸡蛋啊|Eggs over easy.太恶心了 看得我想吐|Gross. Gross, gross, gross.等等哈 最精彩的还没出现呢|Wait, wait. You haven't seen the best part.好恶啊|Gross.我试着佯装淡定 却毫不管用|I tried to be casual about it, but it didn't take.我开始做噩梦|I started having bad dreams.梦见自己被困在巨型鸡蛋里|I'd be trapped inside a huge egg怪物张嘴将我吞入囊中|and this monster would open his jaws and start to devour me.所幸每次都能及时醒来|I'd wake up just in time.没想到噩梦成真了|Then the real nightmare began.嗨 布莱斯 我给你们带了些鸡蛋|Hi, Bryce.

Oh, it's hatching.孩子们 快过来|Kids, come over here.好吧 我输给她了|But hey, she won. I lost.我彻底被无视了|I've never been one to dwell.孵出来了|Here it comes.但我可不会吃她送来的鸡蛋|But that didn't mean I had to eat her lousy eggs.朱莉这姑娘真乖巧 还给我们送鸡蛋|I think it was very sweet of Juli to bring us those eggs.我才不吃呢 我明早还是喝燕麦粥|I don't care. I'm still having cereal tomorrow.我们怎么能确定这蛋不是孵了一半呢|Yeah, how do we know there's no chicks in one of those eggs?我小时候常吃刚下的蛋 很是可口|I used to eat farm-fresh eggs when I was a kid. They were delicious.刚下的蛋当然美味了|Yeah, well, that's all well and good可万一敲开鸡蛋 掉出一具尸体咋整?|but what if we crack one open and a dead chick falls out?他们家有养公鸡吗?|Do they have a rooster?如果没有就不是受精蛋|If they don't have a rooster the eggs can't be fertile.如果养了公鸡我们也会知道|And if they had a rooster, we'd know.街坊邻居都能听到|The whole neighborhood would know.万一人家把公鸡变声了呢|Maybe they got it de-yodeled.变声?|"De-yodeled"?就是把声带给割了|You know.

Longer feathers.头上长有红色的鸡冠|They've got that red stuff growing out of their head.脖子上也长有红毛 那应该挺好鉴别的吧|And around their neck too. That shouldn't be too hard to spot.你想想啊 鸡通常都长有鸡冠|Although, come to think of it, chickens have the rubbery red stuff too.只不过不太明显罢了|Just not as much.加利特是公鸡专家|Garrett's expertise in roosters他能让我避免直接和朱莉·贝克对峙|was the cornerstone of our plan to avoid contact with Juli Baker.我们偷偷溜去她家后院|The balance of which involved spying over her back fence.快点 快点 嘘|Come on, come on.

You're both genius Of course they're all chickens.公鸡不也是鸡么 可关键在于|A rooster's a chicken. The question is:那些鸡都是母的吗?|Is one of them a rooster or are they all hens?母鸡? 谁跟我提过母鸡啊?|Hens? Who said anything about hens?我突然就开窍了|Then it hit me.加利特压根对鸡一窍不通|Garrett didn't know jack shit about chickens.公鸡走路会昂首阔步么? 那当然了|Do roosters strut? Yes, they do.问这个问题有意义吗?|What does that have to do with anything?那它们全是母鸡|They're all hens.只要鸡蛋没问题就行了|Well, the main thing is the eggs are okay.不用再纠结了|It's all settled.我可不这么想|Not for me.我打死都不可能去碰|There was no way I was ever gonna eat anything和朱莉·贝克有关的任何东西|that had anything to do with Juli Baker.我不想吃鸡蛋|I'm not eating them.为什么呢?|Well, why not?你又不是没见过她家那院子|Have you seen their yard?

Why couldn't I just face her?为什么我就不能跟她说|Why couldn't I just say:谢谢 我不稀罕你的鸡蛋 拿去喂蛇好了|"No, thanks. Don't want them. Don't need them. Give them to the snake"?我究竟是不忍伤害她|Was I really afraid of hurting her feelings还是打心底里怕她?|or was I just afraid of her?现在 你得确认...|Now, you wanna make sure you get it布鲁贝克老师最初提出孵化课题时|When Mrs. Brubeck first suggested hatching eggs as my science project我其实并不太感兴趣|I was less than excited.直到我第一次亲眼目睹生命的迹象|That is, until I saw my first sign of life.就是这个吗?|Is that it?是的 那就是胚胎 哇|That's the embryo. Heh. Wow.看起来像豌豆 没错|It looks like a bean.

You're Clydette.妈妈|Mom!母鸡下的蛋供过于求|As it turned out, my hens laid more eggs than we could eat.一开始我们还想加大需求量|At first we tried to keep up但连吃了1个月的煮蛋 炒蛋 煎蛋后|but after a month of boiling, frying and deviling就像电影"变形怪体"那样 我们彻底不行了|like that movie The Blob, we were being overtaken by eggs.直到邻居斯特比太太到访 事情才有所转机|Then opportunity in the form of our neighbor, Mrs. Steuby, knocked.你好呀 亲爱的|Hello, dear.如果你家有多余的鸡蛋 我想找你买一些|If you ever have any extra, I'd be happy to buy them from you.真的吗? 那当然了|Really?

See you at school."而我也何其有幸|And in return, I got a few moments alone享受着与他深情凝视的小瞬间|with the world's most dazzling eyes.谢谢你 朱莉 学校见|Thanks, Juli. See you at school.这桩买卖还真不赖|It was a bargain.可好景却不长|Until the day it wasn't.无花果树被砍的两周后|It was two weeks after the sycamore tree was cut down我的心情刚开始有所平复|and I was just starting to feel normal again.嘿 朱莉 真够准时的啊|Hey, Juli. Right on schedule.是啊 风雨无阻呢|Yeah, well, neither rain nor sleet.什么? 就像邮递员那样|Huh? You know, the mailman thing?哦 没错|Oh.

Well, shoot, that ought to tell you something.什么事? 朱莉的|About what? About Juli.你说什么?|What are you saying?树上掉下的苹果 能落到多远|The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.我不信 我想骂他|I couldn't believe it. I wanted to yell at him.告诉他他不像我这样了解朱莉|Tell him that he didn't know Juli like I did.但一张口就变成了:|But all that came out was:哦 原来如此|Heh, oh.是啊 对啊|Right. Yeah.好 我先走了 晚点找你|Right. Um, I'll talk to you later.我本该放学后去找加利特的|I was supposed to go to Garrett's after school但我不想跟他一块了|but I couldn't be around him.他已经越界了|He'd crossed the line.跟他一道越界的还有我爸爸|And standing right next to him across that line was my father.我不在乎他们怎么想的|I didn't care what they thought.我喜欢朱莉·贝克|I liked Juli Baker.每到周日早晨 我家就充满祥和宁静|Sunday mornings are peaceful in our house.爸爸会睡到自然醒|My dad lets himself sleep in.妈妈懒得做早餐|My mother lets herself not fix breakfast.如果我两个哥哥出去玩乐队|If my brothers have been out late playing with their band中午之前你都找不到他们在哪儿|you won't even know they're around till noon.但这个周天 我一觉醒来就觉得不自在|But this Sunday, I woke up feeling weird.我必须摆脱自己对布莱斯的困惑|I had to do something to shake off the confused feelings about Bryce这种困惑越来越强烈了|that were starting to creep back in.你干得真不错啊|You really did it, didn't you?

Stop!我以前见过爸爸生气的样子 但这次不同|I'd seen my father angry before, but this was different.那晚我躺在床上|As I lay in bed that night思考为什么爸爸总是瞧不起贝克一家|I thought about how my dad always looked down on the Bakers.他总说他们是废物 还嘲笑贝克先生的画|And how he'd called them trash and made fun of Mr. Baker's paintings.现在我知道 他只是不满意自己|And now I realized he was just mad at himself.但为什么呢|But why?朱莉说我是懦夫|Juli called me a coward.难道我爸爸也是懦夫|Was it possible my dad was a coward too?不知道|I didn't know.有什么区别吗|What difference did it make?朱莉·贝克从我的生活中消失了|Juli Baker was out of my life.或者更确切地说|Or, more accurately我从她的生活中消失了|I was out of hers.我在为罗斯基家的晚宴准备衣服时|As I was getting dressed for the Loskis' dinner party我一直盯着爸爸以前给我的那幅画|I found myself staring at the painting my father had given me不禁一肚子气|and became furious all over again.布莱斯从来都不算我的朋友|Bryce had never been a friend to me, ever.砍树的时候他没站住我这边|He hadn't taken my side about the tree他扔掉我的鸡蛋|he'd thrown away my eggs他还开我伯伯的玩笑|and he made fun of me at my uncle's expense.当妈妈催我们出发时...|When my mother called that it was time to go...朱莉 快点 要迟到了|Juli, let's go, we're late!我想了千百个借口告诉她|I went out with every intention of telling her我不去吃饭了|that I wasn't going to the Loskis.拿好这个 我要再次快速地理理发型|Please hold these. I need to check my hair really quickly one more time.你的发型棒极了 真的吗|Your hair is perfect.

Here, hold one, and you hold this.我不想拿 我不会让你拿的|I don't wanna hold it. I won't have you hold it.儿子们 出发吧|Let's go, boys.但这不代表我要对布莱斯友善|But that didn't mean I had to be nice to Bryce.我不想和你说话了|And I don't wanna speak to you.现在不想 一辈子都不想了|Not now, not ever.主动权在我手里的感觉真好|It felt good to take charge.我觉得自己能掌控一切 我告诉布莱斯我的想法|I felt strong, in control. I told Bryce what I thought也决心晚上不再跟他说话|and I was determined not to talk to him for the rest of the evening.晚餐时 我突然觉得|At dinner it struck me that我们在和一群陌生人共进晚餐|we were sharing a meal with a group of strangers.我们本来常年住在罗斯基家对街 不相来往|We'd lived across the street from the Loskis for years除了切特 这些人我都不了解|but except for Chet, I didn't know these people at all.罗斯基先生表面上看起来很干净整洁|Mr. Loski was clean and smooth on the outside但他内心似乎装着|but it seemed like there was something rotten什么腐烂掉的东西|buried just beneath the surface.晚饭快结束的时候 我觉得我像个局外人 旁观者|By the end of the evening, all I felt was detached, neutral.没有烟火 没有残余的气愤|No fireworks, no leftover anger没有奉承谁|no flutters, nothing.再见|See you.我入睡的时候 感觉很平和|I went to bed that night feeling peaceful.你还好吗? 很好啊|You okay? Yeah.我很庆幸 有现在这样的家庭|I was grateful that I had the family I had.我再也不用关心布莱斯·罗斯基了 这感觉真好|And it felt good to no longer care about Bryce Loski.跟贝克一家共进晚餐后 我的人品就一路狂跌|The dinner with the Bakers had taken its toll on me.学校一年一度的筹款活动到了|Then the annual school fundraiser arrived我陷入一堆新难题|and I found myself with a whole new set of problems.我要做篮子男孩|I was a Basketboy.要欣赏篮子男孩遭到羞辱的盛况|To fully appreciate the humiliation of being a Basketboy你要知道被选中的男孩|you need to know that the chosen few要当着所有同学的面|are auctioned off in front of the student body被拍卖给出价最高的女生|to the highest-bidding females.虽然我们每个人都在篮子里放了午饭|Yes, technically, each of us comes with a lunch in a basket但还是不要自欺欺人了 这是裸男大游行|but let's not kid ourselves.
