(p.132)He sure got a lot more stuff than I did.

He even got Twisted Wizard, so at least I can play it when I come up to his house. 라일리는 심지어 Twisted Wizard를 받았다. 그래서 적어도 내가 라일리의 집에 갈 때 게임을 할 수 있다.

(p.131)Rowley was so enthusiastic about it

But once again, I let my hopes get too high.그러나 다시 한번, 난 기대가 너무 높았다.Rowley got me a Big Wheel.

(p.129)I kind of decided to throw in the towel for this Christmas

I had to explain that you need a game system and a TV to play Twisted Wizard, so the game was totally useless to him.난 엄마한테 Twisted Wizard 게임을 하려면, 게임기하고 텔레비젼이 필요하다고 설명했다. 그러니까 그 게임은 완전히 그에게 쓸모 없었다.Even though my Christmas was not going that great, I'm sure it was going a whole lot worse for the Giving Tree guy.비록 나의 크리스마스가 그렇게 훌륭하게 진행되지 않았지만, Giving Tree guy에겐 훨씬 더 최악이었을 것이라 확신한다.I kind of dec..

(p.128)I figured it out

(p.127)Mom pulled the same "big box" trick on me last year

The box was way too big for Twisted Wizard, but Mom pulled the same "big box" trick on me last year when she got me a memory card for my video game system.게임이라면 박스가 너무 컸다. 하지만 작년에 엄마는 내 비디오 게임기용 메모리 카드를 선물하면서, 이번처럼 커다란 상자로 나를 놀린 적이 있었다.So I ripped open the package and pulled out my present. 그래서 나는 포장을 뜯고, 내 선물을 꺼냈다.Only this wasn't Twisted Wizard, either.Twisted Wizard도 아니었고,It was a giant red a..

(p.126)That thing must have cost a fortune.

That thing must have cost a fortune.그 물건은 분명히 엄청나게 비쌌을 것이다. I didn't have the heart to tell Dad that I kind of lost interest in the whole weight-lifting thing When the wrestling unit ended last week. 난 아빠에게 지난 주에 레슬링 수업이 끝났을 때, 역시 운동에 대한 관심을 좀 잃었다고 말할 자신이 없었다. So I just said "thanks" instead.그래서 대신에 난 고맙다고 말했다.I think Dad was expecting me to drop down and start doing some reps or something, but ..
