DIARY Of a Wimpy Kid 133

(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..

(p.109)the major embarrassment was still on the way.

Great. I have been able to keep that nickname quiet for five years, and now all of a sudden the whole town knew it.잘됐네. 5년 동안 내 별명은 비밀이었는데 이제 갑자기 마을 전체가 알게 된 것이다.I could feel about 300 pairs of eyeballs pointed my way.나는 300쌍의 눈동자가 나를 향해 있는 것을 느낄 수 있었다.So I did some quick and ad-libbing and I was able to deflect the embarrassment over to Archii Kelly.그래서 난 좀 빠른 애드립을 했고, 그 곤란한 상황을 아키켈리에서 돌릴 수 있었다..

(p.108)The curtains rose, and when they did, I heard Manny's voice.

The kid who played Toto brought a stool and a pile of comic books on to the stage, and that totally ruined the whole "dog" effect.강아지 토토 역할을 맡은 아이는 무대에 의자와 만화책을 가지고 왔다. 그것이 완전히 "강아지"효과를 망쳤다.When it was time for the forest scene, me and the other Trees hoppd into our positions. 숲 속 장면이 되자, 나랑 다른 나무들은 각자 위치로 뛰어 올라 갔다.The curtains rose, and when they did, I heard Manny's voice.막이 오르고, 다들 자리를 잡았을 때..

(p.107)nothing could just suck it up for one performance.

He must have found out I was singing, and he couldn't resist the chance to see me embarrass myself.그는 내가 노래를 한다는 것을 알아낸 게 틀림 없다. 로드릭은 내가 창피당하는 걸 볼 기회를 참지 못한 것이다.The play was supposed to start at 8:00, but it got delayed because Rodney James had stage fright.연극은 오전 8시에 시작이었으나, 로드니 제임스의 무대 공포증으로 지연되었다.You'd figure that someone whose job it was to sit on the stage and do nothing could just suck it ..

(p.106)I was peeking through the curtain to check out

So the good news is, they're letting us Trees carve out arm holes for the performance.그래서 좋은 소식은, 공연을 위해 팔 구멍을 자르도록 했다.Tuesday화요일Tonight was the big school production of "The Wizard of Oz". 오늘밤이 바로 대망의 공연 날이었다.The first sign that things were not going to go well happened before the play even started.공연이 시작조차 하기 전에, 뭔가 잘못되고 있다는 첫번째 징조가 나타났다.I was peeking through the curtain to check out how many..
