(p.119)Rodrick has never let me hear the end of THAT.

That's how I ended up in the emergency room two weeks later with a pink Barbie shoe stuck up my nose.2주 후에 핑크 바비의 신발이 내 코에 박혀서 결국 난 응급실에 가게 된 것이다. And believe me, Rodrick has never let me hear the end of THAT.정말이지, 로드릭은 이 일을 귀가 닳도록 계속 이야기 한다.ThursdayTonight me and Mom went out to get a gift for the Giving Tree at church. 오늘밤 나와 엄마는 'Giving Tree'에 줄 선물을 사러 나갔다.The Giving Tree is basically a Secre..

(p.118)I took it out and played with it once or twice.

On Christmas, when Uncle Charlie gave me my gift, it was NOT what I asked for.크리스마스에 찰리 삼촌 나한테 내 선물을 줄 때, 내가 요청했던 것이 아니었다.He must've walked into the toy store and picked up the first thing he saw that had the word "Barbie" on it.그는 장난감 가게로 들어가서 "Barbie"어가 써 있는 첫번째로 본 것을 집어 온 것이 틀림없다.So if you ever see a picture of me where I'm holding a Beach Fun Barbie, now at least you know the whole story.그래서..

(p.117)I have a secret weapon when it comes to Christmas.

I just thought it would be a really awesome fort for my toysoldiers.난 단지 바비 인형의 집이 진짜 내 장난감 병정들의 멋있는 요새가 될것이라고 생각했다.When Mom and Dad saw my wish list that year, they got in a big fight over it. 엄마와 아빠가 그 해 나의 위시 리스트를 봤을 때, 엄마 아빠는 그것 때문에 크게 싸우셨다.Dad said there was no way he was getting me a doll's house, but Mom said it was healthy for me to "experiment" with whatever kind of toys I wanted to pla..

(p.116)he was going to end up with a bunch of clothes for Christmas.

So I decided to step in and give him some good big-brotherly advice.그래서 내가 나서서 매니에게 형으로써 좋은 조언을 하기로 결심했다.I told him that if he circled stuff that was too expensive, he was going to end up with a bunch of clothes for Christmas. 난 그에게 만약에 너무 비싼 물건에 동그라미를 친다면 결국 크리스마스 옷을 받게 될 것이라고 말했다.I said he should just pick three or four mediup-priced gifts so he would end up with a couple of things he actually..

(p.115)I usually make a big wish list every year

In fact, the only thing that tipped me off that Christmas was coming was when Rodrick put his wish list up on the refrigerator.사실, 나한테 크리스마스가 다가온다고 알려 준 유일한 건 로드릭이 냉장고에 크리스마스에 받고 싶은 선물 목록을 붙여 놓았을 때이다.I usually make a big wish list every year, but this Christmas, all I really want is this video game called Twisted Wizard.난 보통 해마다 받고 싶은 선물 목록을 많이 만든다. 하지만 이번 크리스마스에 내가 진짜 받고 싶은 선물은 'Twisted Wizard..

(p.114)if one good thing came out of the play

Wednesday수요일Well, if one good thing came out of the play, it's that I don't thave to worry about the "Bubby" nickname any more.음, 이번 공연을 통해 좋은 일이 한 가지 있다면, 이제 더 이상 "Bubby"라는 별명을 아이들한테 들킬까봐 걱정할 필요가 없다는 점이다.I saw Archie Kelly getting hassled in the hallway after fifth period today, so it looks like I can finally start to breathe a litte easier.오늘 5교시 수업이 끝나고 나서, 나는 아키 켈리가 복도에서 괴롭힘을 당하는 것을 보았다. 마침내..

(p.113)I think Toto even got in on the act.

Pretty soon, the rest of the Trees started throwing apples, too. I think Toto even got in on the act.곧, 다른 나무들도 사과를 던지기 시작했다. 난 심지어 토토도 가담할 것이라 생각한다.Somebody knocked the glasses off of Patty's head, and one of the lenses broke. 누군가 패티의 머리를 맞추다 안경을 떨어뜨려서 렌즈 한 개가 깨졌다. Mrs Norton had to shut down the play after that, because Patty can't see two feet in front of her without her glasses.선생님은 연극을 중단했다..

(p.112)I noticed Patty Farrell standing in the wings.

The song is only about three minutes long, but to me it felt like an hour and a half.노래는 오직 3분 길이이지만, 나에게는 한 시간 반같이 느껴졌다. I was just praying the curtains would go down so we could hop off the stage.난 단지 커튼이 내려와서 우리가 무대를 뛰어 내려가길 기도하고 있었다.That's when I noticed Patty Farrell standing in the wings.그 때 난 패티 패렐이 대기하고 서 있는 것을 알았을 때이다. And if looks could kill, us Trees would be dead.그래서 눈길만으로 죽일 수 있다면..

(p.111)the three of us were just standing there, not saying a word.

I guess they must've thought I knew something that they didn't, so they stopped singing, too.그들은 내가 그들이 하지 않는 뭔가를 알고 있다고 생각한 게 틀림없다. 그래서 그들도 노래 부르는 것을 멈췄다.Now the three of us were just standing there, not saying a word.이제 나무 세 그루는 한 마디 말도 안하고 그냥 거기에 서 있었다. Mrs Norton must have thought we forgot the words to the song, because she came over to the side of the stage and whispered the rest of the ly..

(p.110)Rodrick wouldn't have anything to hold over my head.

I knew that if I sang the song and Rodrick recorded it he would keep the tape forever and use it to humilate me for the rest of my life.내가 노래를 부르면 로드릭이 녹화를 할 것이다. 그는 녹화 테잎을 영원히 가지고 있으면서 평생동안 나를 창피를 줄 것이다.I didn't know what to do, so when the time came to start singing, I just kept my mouth shut.나는 뭘 해야 할지 모르겠다. 그래서 노래를 부를 시간에, 난 내 입을 닫고 있었다.For a few seconds there, things went OK. I figured that..
