(p.99)every character has to sing or dance at one point or another.

Monday월요일I was hoping Mrs Norton would just cut me from the play, but today she said that everyone who tried out is going to get a part. So lucky me.노턴선생님이 연극에서 나를 그냥 제외시켰으면 좋겠는데, 오늘 오디션을 본 아이드 모두가 역할을 맡을 거라고 했다. 난 운도 참 좋다.Mrs Norton showed "The Wizard of Oz" movie so everyone would know the story. 노턴선생님은 모두가 스토리를 알 수 있게 "오즈의 마법사" 영화를 보여주었다. I was trying to figure out what part I should play, bu..

(p.98)who should try out first but Patty Farrell.

I have no idea what a "soprano" is, but from the way of the girls were giggling, I knew it wasn't a good thing.나는 소프라노가 무엇인지 전혀 몰랐는데, 몇 명의 여자아이들이 킥킥 웃는 걸로 보아 좋은 것은 아닌 걸 알았다.Tryouts went on forever.오디션은 계속 이어졌다. The grand finale came with auditions for Dorothy, who I guess is the lead character in the play.오디션의 대단원의 막은 도로시 역할 오디션이였는데, 연극의 주인공인 것 같았다. And who should try out first but Patty Farrell..

(p.97)but of course I got singled out, anyway.

I've never even seen the movie, so for me, it was like walking into a freak show.나는 그 영화를 본 적이 없다. 그래서 나한테는 기괴한 공연으로 걸어 들어가는 것 같았다.Mrs Norton, the msic director, made everyone sing "My Country' Tis of Thee" so she could hear our singing voices.음악 감독 노턴선생이 우리의 노래 부르는 목소리를 들을 수 있게 우리한테 애국가를 부르게 했다. I did my singing tryouts with a bunch of other boys whose moms made them come, too.나는 엄마에 이해 온 많은 남자..

(p.96)I knew that would make Dad take my side.

Mom said the only way I was going to be "well-rounded" was by trying different things.엄마는 내가 다재다능한 사람이 되려면, 다양한 경험을 해보는 방법 밖에 없다고 말했다.Dad came in my room to see what was going on.아빠가 무슨 일인지 알아보려 내 방으로 들어왔다.I told Dad that Mom was making me sign up for the school play, and that if I had to start going to play practices, it would totally mess up my weight-lifting schedule.난 아빠에게 엄마가 나를 학교 연극에 신청하게..

(p.95)the last thing I need is to have to sing a solo

Thursday목요일Tonight Mom came up to my room, and she had a flyer in her hand. 오늘밤 엄마는 내 방에 오셨는데, 엄마의 손에는 전단지가 있었다.As soon as I saw it, I knew EXACTLY what i was.내가 그것을 보자마자, 난 그것이 무엇인지 정확히 알 수 있었다.It was an announcement that the school is having tryouts form a winter play. 학교에서 겨울 연극을 위해 선발심사를 한다는 안내문이었다.Man, I should have thrown that thing out when I saw it on the kitchen table.Man, 식탁 위에 저 안내문..

(p.94)So thanks to Patty, I ended up flunking the quiz.

But right before the test got started, Patty Farrell piped up from the front of the room.그러나 시험이 시작되기 바로 전에, 교실 앞쪽에 있던 패티패렐이 말하기 시작했다. Patty told Mr Ira that he should cover up the United States map before we got started.패티는 lra생님에게 시험 시작하기 전에 미국지도를 가려야 한다고 말했다.So thanks to Patty, I ended up flunking the quiz. 그래서 패티덕분에 나는 시험에 낙제했다. And I will definitely be looking for a way to pay her back for ..

(p.93)I've been looking forward to this one for a long time.

After Rowley got off the bench press, it was time for my set. 라일리가 벤치프레스에서 내려온 후 내 차례였다. But Rowley said he didn't feel like working out any more, and he went home.그러나 라일리는 더 이상 운동하기 싫다며 집으로 갔다.You know, I figured he'd pull something like that. 라일리가 해낼 줄 알았다.But I guess you can't expect everyone to have the same kind of dedication as you.그러나 모든 사라이 당신과 같은 같은 헌신을 기대할 수 없을 것같다.Wednesday수요일Today in..

(p.92)Rowley didn't get serious about working out

And right when Rowley had the barbell in the "down" position, I leaned over and looked at him.라일리가 바벨을 내리는 바로 그 때, 나는 고개를 숙여서 라일리를 내려다 보았다.Sure enough, Rowley TOTALLY lost his concentration. 아니나 다를까, 라일리는 완전히 집중력을 잃었다. He couldn't even get the barbell off his chest. 그는 바벨을 그의 가슴에서 떼어내지도 못했다.I thought about helping him out, but then I realized that if Rowley didn't get serious about working out, ..

(p.91)to push you beyond your limits.

I made Rowley use the bench press first, mostly because I wanted to see if the broomstick was going to hold up.나는 라일리가 먼저 벤치프레스를 하게 했다. 왜냐하면 주로 난 빗자루가 통을 버틸 수 있는지가 보고 싶었기 때문이다.He did about firve reps, and he was ready to quit, but I wouldn't let him. That's what a good training partner is for, to push you beyond your limits.라일리가 5번 정도 들어올리고 그만 두려고 했지만 난 그만두지 못하게 했다. 좋은 연습 파트너가 할 일이란, 자신의 한계를 뛰어..

(p.90)I went into the fridge and emptied out the milk and arange

So I went into the fridge and emptied out the milk and arange and filled the jugs with sand. 그래서 나는 냉장고로 가서 우유과 오렌지 쥬스를 다 비워내고 모래로 통을 채워 놓았다. Then I tapped them to a broomstick, and I had myself a pretty decent barbell.그리고 나서 나는 통들을 빗자루에 테이프로 붙였다. 나 스스로 꽤 괜찮은 역기를 만들었다.After that, I made a bench press out of an ironing board and some boxes. 그 후에 나는 다리미 판과 상자 몇개로 벤치프레스를 만들었다. Once I had that all s..
