非常滑稽的第一天 👓 ⛱️ 夏日短篇故事 ⛱️

我叫阿里，欢迎收听《安睡小故事》。

My name is Ari, and welcome to Sleep Tight Stories.

亚历克斯戴着眼镜，没有眼镜他就没法好好做事。

Alex wears glasses and needs them to be able to do things properly.

忙碌了一天之后，他把眼镜放在浴室的台子上，准备上床睡觉，因为第二天是他第一天上学。

He puts them on the bathroom counter after a very busy day and gets ready for bed, as the next day will be his first day of school.

问题出在闹钟没响，他们第一天上学就起晚了。

The problems start when the alarms don't go off, and they are late getting up for the first day of school.

一个非常糊涂的第一天。

A very silly first day.

事情从前一天晚上就开始了。

It started the night before.

亚历克斯把眼镜忘在了浴室的台子上，因为他那天太忙太累了，根本没想着眼镜放哪儿了。

Alex forgot his glasses on the bathroom counter because he was tired from a super busy day and wasn't really thinking about where they might be.

首先，他得陪妈妈去逛那些无聊的商店，买一堆东西。

First, he had to go and do all this boring shopping stuff with his mom.

他们跑遍了镇上所有的商店，就为了买开学用品，本来一个小时就能搞定，结果因为大家都在买，花的时间更长了。

They went to every possible store in town looking for last minute school supplies, which should have taken an hour but took more because everyone else was doing it too.

真的特别无聊，感觉至少过了八个小时，甚至更久。

It was really boring and seemed to last at least eight hours or more.

然后他爸爸需要帮忙搬车库里的重东西，亚历克斯去帮忙了，因为他爸爸说他力气大。

Then his dad needed help moving heavy things around the garage, which Alex did because his dad said he was strong.

可能披萨的诱惑也是一个原因。

The pizza bribe might have been a factor too.

然后还有朱莉。

And then Julie.

朱莉想连续打两个小时的篮球，因为她觉得可能很快要下雪了，而且雪地里运球很难。

Julie had wanted to play basketball for two hours straight because she had decided it might snow soon, and it was hard to dribble in the snow.

亚历克斯告诉她：“现在还是夏天呢。”

It's still summer, Alex told her.

朱莉说：“严格来说是这样。”然后继续运球。

Technically, Julie said, and kept dribbling.

不管怎么劝，她都坚信马上要下雪了。

No amount of convincing would change her mind that snowfall was imminent.

尽管去年圣诞节他们还打了篮球，因为她收到了一个新篮球。

Even though last year, they played basketball on Christmas Day because she got a new basketball.

所以等亚历克斯回到家，找到校服，把它们摊好准备第二天穿的时候，他几乎一点力气都没了，眼镜还在浴室里，他想着早上再拿。

So by the time Alex got home, found his school clothes, and laid them out for the morning, he had approximately zero energy left, and his glasses were in the bathroom, and he figured he'd get them in the morning.

他还没想完就睡着了。

He was asleep before he finished the thought.

第二天早上，谁都没听到闹钟响，连爸爸那个全世界最响的闹钟也没响。

In the morning, nobody's alarm went off, not even dad's, which was the loudest on earth.

妈妈说家里肯定有鬼在捣乱。

Mom said there must be a ghost in the house doing naughty things.

亚历克斯觉得她可能说得对，因为整个夏天他的袜子也总是被藏起来。

Alex believed that she might be right because something had also been hiding his socks all summer.

不然它们怎么会跑到床底下呢？

How else did they end up under his bed?

袜子总不会自己走到那儿去吧，对吧？

Socks didn't walk there on their own, did they?

这意味着大家都迟到了，亚历克斯得飞快地穿好衣服，比整个夏天都快。

What this meant was that everyone was late, and Alex had to get dressed very fast, faster than he had all summer.

所以他有点生疏了，而且眼镜还没戴上，因为洗手间有人。

So he was out of practice, And he still didn't have his glasses on because the bathroom was occupied.

然后他就忘了。

And then he forgot.

他几乎是狼吞虎咽地喝完了麦片。

He practically slurped up his cereal.

他才吃了两口，妈妈就在走廊里喊，说能听到街那头旧校车的刹车声吱吱作响。

He was only two bites in when his mom called from the hallway that she could hear the brakes on the old school bus squeaking at the end of the street.

亚历克斯抓起书包就跑。

Alex grabbed his backpack and ran.

校车司机康诺利先生像往常一样，带着大大的笑容，扶着车门等着。

Mister Connolly, the bus driver, held the door with his usual enormous smile.

他还穿了一件印着笑脸的T恤。

He also wore a T shirt with a smiley face on it too.

他说那是他的制服，但亚历克斯不太确定。

He said it was his uniform, but Alex wasn't so sure.

但康纳利先生

But Mr.

还说，早上七点开着一辆满载吵闹孩子的公交车，是他最喜欢的事。

Connolly also said that driving a bus full of loud kids at seven in the morning was his favorite thing in the world.

也许吧。

Maybe it was.

亚历克斯没时间想这些。

Alex didn't have time to think about it.

他双脚跳上车，这样更快，在中间找了个座位，然后四处找朱莉。

He jumped on with both feet, which is faster, found a seat near the middle, and looked around for Julie.

没有朱莉，只有一群他还不认识的新孩子。

No Julie, just a bunch of new kids he didn't know yet.

他想，也许她也有个幽灵吧，然后剩下的路上就一直看着窗外，直到学校。

Maybe she had a ghost too, he thought, and looked out the window the rest of the way to school.

车门一开，大家都涌到了前面的台阶上。

The bus doors opened, and everyone spilled out onto the front steps.

两个他还不认识的孩子用很奇怪的眼神看着他，真的非常奇怪。

Two kids Alex didn't know yet looked at him strangely, really strangely.

但他肚子饿了，还有点困，主要在想上课前有没有时间喝口水。

But he was hungry and still a little tired and mostly thinking about whether there'd be time to get a drink of water before class.

他找到了7号教室，坐下来，等着上课开始。

He found Room 7, sat down, and waited for the day to start.

直到朱莉来了，他才明白是怎么回事。

It wasn't until Julie arrived that he found out why.

她在门口停下来，看着他，露出那种眼睛睁得大大的、屏住呼吸的表情，她每次拼命忍住不笑的时候都是这样。

She stopped in the doorway, looked at him, and got that like super wide eyed holding her breath expression she always got when she was trying very hard not to laugh.

怎么了？

What?

亚历克斯说。

Alex said.

你今天早上照镜子了吗？

Did you look in the mirror this morning?

她说着，尽量不去看他。

She said trying not to look at him.

亚历克斯用手捋了捋头发。

Alex ran a hand through his hair.

他妈妈总是让他梳头，但他总是忘记。

His mom was always telling him to brush it and he always forgot.

所以头发上可能有点什么。

So there was probably something going on up there.

也许有个大呆毛之类的。

Maybe there was a big dweeby or something.

不是你的头发，朱莉说。

It's not your hair, Julie said.

亚历克斯低头看了看。

Alex looked down.

他脚上穿着两只不同的袜子，一只白的，一只上面印着小足球。

He had on two different socks, one white, one with little footballs on it.

接着他发现自己连帽衫穿反了，接缝到处露出来，而且这还是他妹妹的，因为它是浅紫色的，前面有只独角兽，还小了两号。

Then he saw that his sweatshirt was on inside out, the seams poking out in every direction, And it was also his sister's, which he could tell because it was light purple and had a unicorn on the front and was about two sizes too small.

他脚上还穿着两只不同的运动鞋。

And on his feet were two different sneakers.

其中一只是紫色的，上面还有亮片。

One of them was also purple and had sparkles on it.

至少跟那件连帽衫还挺配的。

It matched the sweatshirt at least.

“哦，不，”亚历克斯说。

Oh, no, Alex said.

“这很有创意，”朱莉说，她这么说的时候是在努力表现得友善，同时也忍不住笑。

It's very creative, Julie said, which was what she said when she was trying to be nice and also could not stop smiling.

我没戴眼镜。

I didn't have my glasses.

我看得出来。

I can tell.

我穿衣服穿得特别快。

I got dressed really fast.

我看得出来。

I can tell.

亚历克斯看了看自己运动衫上的独角兽。

Alex looked at the unicorn on his sweatshirt.

独角兽也回看着他。

The unicorn looked back at him.

他们两个看起来都对这情况不太满意。

Neither of them seemed very happy about the situation.

还有别人注意到了吗？

Did anyone else notice?

他问道。

He asked.

朱莉的表情不用任何言语就回答了他的问题。

Julie's expression answered that question without any words.

亚历克斯得去上下一节课，这意味着要走过走廊，意味着要经过学校里的每个人，这可不是什么理想的情况。

Alex had to get to his next class, which meant walking down the hallway, which meant walking past everyone in the school, which was not really all that ideal.

亚历克斯注意到了每一个目光，每一次推搡，每一对凑在一起交头接耳的孩子。

Alex noticed every glance, every nudge, every pair of kids with their heads together.

饮水机旁的那群人，他们在看他吗？

That group near the water fountain, were they looking at him?

储物柜旁那个女孩，在他走过时立刻跟朋友咬耳朵。

That girl by the lockers who started whispering to her friend right when he walked by.

那是在说他吗？

Was that about him?

体育馆门口那两个男孩，他经过时正在笑，是在笑他吗？

The two boys near the gym doors who were laughing as he passed?

绝对是的。

Definitely.

很明显，百分之百是在说他。

Obviously, 100% it was about him.

等他走到下一节课的教室，这一路在走廊上走了很久，亚历克斯已经认定，这将是史上最糟糕的开学第一天。

By the time he got to his next class, which required lots of walking in the hallway, Alex had made up his mind that this was going to be the worst first day of school in the history of first days.

这时，杰夫出现在他身边。

Then Jeff appeared at his elbow.

杰夫去年和他同班，住在他家两条街外，还曾经一口气吃完一整袋万圣节糖果，然后试图否认，这既让人佩服，又让人觉得恶心。

Jeff was in his class last year and lived two streets over and had once eaten an entire bag of Halloween candy in one sitting and then tried to deny it, which was pretty impressive and cool and nauseating all at the same time.

杰夫的心思很容易看透，而现在，他看起来是真的佩服。

Jeff was pretty easy to read, and right now, he looked genuinely impressed.

杰夫说：“哥们，这身打扮。”

Dude, Jeff said, that outfit.

亚历克斯说：“我知道。”

I know, Alex said.

我当时没戴眼镜。

I didn't have my glasses.

没有。

No.

我是说，看起来挺酷的，像是你故意搭配的。

I mean, it looks pretty cool, like you planned it.

亚历克斯停下了脚步。

Alex stopped walking.

马库斯那帮人正在议论这件事。

Marcus and those guys were talking about it.

他们以为你是故意的。

They thought you did it on purpose.

杰夫歪了歪头。

Jeff tilted his head.

你是故意的吗？

Did you do it on purpose?

不完全是。

Not exactly.

真的吗？

Really?

杰夫看了看那只紫色的运动鞋，又看了看白色的，然后往后退了一步。

Jeff looked at the purple sneaker, then the white one, then backed up.

嗯，看起来你确实是有意的。

Well, looks like you did.

亚历克斯不确定自己成为潜在时尚偶像是什么感觉。

Alex was not sure how he felt about being a potential fashion icon.

他在回家的公交车上一直在想这件事，而周围的人都大声谈论着第一天的情况。

He thought about it the whole bus ride home while everyone around him was talking loudly about their first day.

他什么都没计划。

He hadn't planned any of it.

他是无意中这么做的，因为他很累，又赶时间，而且找不到眼镜。

He'd done it by accident because he was tired and in a rush and couldn't find his glasses.

现在马库斯那帮人觉得，他是那种故意穿着姐姐的《头脑特工队》独角兽卫衣去上学第一天的人。

And now Marcus and those guys thought he was the kind of person who showed up to the first day of school in his sister's Inside Out unicorn sweatshirt on purpose as a choice.

第二天早上他还在想这件事，结果有三个孩子穿着不配对的运动鞋来上学了。

He was still thinking about it the next morning when three kids showed up to school with mismatched sneakers.

到了周末，已经有两件反穿的衬衫，一双故意混搭的袜子，还有一个高年级的男孩穿着他弟弟的夹克。

By the end of the week, there were two inside out shirts, one deliberate mix of odd socks, and a boy in the grade above him wearing what appeared to be his little brother's jacket.

这种情况一直持续到学期结束。

It went on like that for the rest of the semester.

亚历克斯从来没告诉任何人这件事是怎么开始的。

Alex never told anyone how it started.

朱莉当然知道，因为她总是知道所有事，她觉得这是有史以来最好笑的事。

Julie knew, obviously, because Julie always knew everything, and she thought this was the funniest thing that had ever happened.

每次她在走廊里看到不搭的穿着，就会和亚历克斯对视，露出从第一天早上就挂在脸上的那种笑容。

Every time she saw a mismatched outfit in the hallway, she caught Alex's eye and smiled the smile she'd been smiling since that first morning in class.

过了一段时间，他也不得不承认，这确实有点好笑。

He had to admit after a while it was a little bit funny.

不过他是绝对不会跟她这么说的。

Not that he would ever say that to her.

她肯定会想再多打两个小时的篮球来庆祝。

She'd want to celebrate with two more hours of basketball.

好了，我们的故事就讲到这里。

And that is the end of our story.

晚安。

Good night.

睡个好觉。

Sleep Tight.
