现在，我们开始讲故事吧。

Now on to our story.

你有没有过这样的经历：非常努力地做了一件事，迫不及待地想给别人看？

Have you ever worked really hard on something and couldn't wait to show it to someone?

格蕾丝非常认真地完成了她的作业，并且已经准备好第二天早上交上去。

Grace worked very hard on her homework and had it all ready to hand in the next morning.

当她走进房间时，简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。

When she walked into her room, she couldn't believe what she saw.

她现在该怎么办呢？

What was she going to do now?

我的狗吃了我的作业。

My dog ate my homework.

格蕾丝站在那里，看着她的作业，或者说曾经是她的作业。

Grace stood there looking at her homework, or what used to be her homework.

现在地上只剩一堆黏糊糊的碎纸片，而她明天早上就得交上去。

It was now just a pile of gooey shredded paper on the floor, and she had to hand it all in tomorrow morning.

她刚打开房门，他们那只精力旺盛的黑色拉布拉多巴斯特就冲了出去，疯跑了一圈，然后沿着走廊狂奔，很可能躲到桌子底下去了，他以为那样就能躲开格蕾丝。

She had just opened the door to her room when Buster, their hyper black Labrador, had raced out, did the zoomies, and tore down the hallway, likely to hide under the table where he thought he might be able to hide from Grace.

他大概以为格蕾丝会追着他玩，平时她确实会这么做。

He probably thought she would chase him and play, which she usually did.

但这次不会了。

But not now.

现在她很不高兴，再多的可爱小狗眼神和咬咬啃啃也改变不了这个事实。

Now she was upset, and no amount of cute puppy eyes and bitey bites were going to change that.

妈妈，巴斯特把我的作业吃了。

Mom, buster ate my homework.

话一出口，她就知道这话听起来有多假。

As soon as she said it, she knew how it sounded.

在老师的历史上，从来没有人真的相信过这句话。

No teacher in the history of teachers had ever actually believed those words.

这话跟“我忘在学校了”和“我弟弟在上面乱画了”差不多。

It sat right up there with, I left it at school, and my little brother drew all over it.

还有那个经典中的经典：“我以为下星期才交呢。”

And the all time classic, I thought it was due next week.

这是没人相信的借口名人堂，格蕾丝刚刚也把自己的名字加了进去。

The hall of fame of excuses nobody believed, and Grace had just added her name to the list.

她妈妈出现在门口，看了一眼地板，什么也没说，也许是因为她好像在憋着气。

Her mother appeared in the doorway, took one look at the floor, and said nothing, perhaps because she seemed to be holding her breath.

哎呀。

Oh my.

这可不太妙，对吧？

This isn't good, is it?

对。

No.

确实不妙。

It isn't.

你知道我整个周末为了这个花了多少功夫吗？

Do you know how hard I worked on this all weekend?

妈妈，我连冰球训练都没去。

I skipped ringette practice, mom.

冰球。

Ringette.

格蕾西，它只是只小狗。

Gracie, he's just a puppy.

它不懂事。

He doesn't know better.

也许吧。

Maybe not.

但这难道就是我所谓最好的朋友该做的事吗？

But is this what my supposed best friend is supposed to do?

毁了我的生活？

Ruin my life?

她妈妈抿了抿嘴唇，把手指放在嘴边。

Her mother pressed her lips together and put her finger to her lips.

她帮格蕾丝辅导数学作业时也做了同样的动作。

She made that same gesture when she tried to help Grace with her math homework.

我可以给你老师写张便条。

I could write a note to your teacher.

她不会相信你的。

She won't believe you.

我可以拍一张这乱摊子的照片。

I could take a photo of the mess.

格蕾丝看着地上那堆碎纸。

Grace looked at the pile of shredded paper on the floor.

看起来挺可笑的。

It looked ridiculous.

也许这还真不是最糟糕的主意。

Maybe that was actually not the worst idea.

但话说回来，谁能保证我不是故意把花生酱抹在纸上，然后让巴斯特去撕的呢？

But still, who is to say I didn't spread peanut butter over paper and have Buster do it on purpose?

我的数学作业明天就要交了，我费了好大劲才做完。

My math is due tomorrow, and I worked too hard on it.

我只好重新打印那些练习卷，再把所有答案重新写一遍。

I'll just have to reprint the worksheets and rewrite all the answers.

既然我已经知道答案了，这不会花太长时间，我的英语作文可以等到明天早上再写。

It won't take that long now that I already know them, and my English essay can wait until tomorrow morning.

格蕾丝，你不该熬夜熬得太晚。

You shouldn't stay up too late, Grace.

睡个好觉很重要。

Getting a good night's sleep is important.

我知道，但数学也很重要。

I know, but so is math.

我是说，数学也很重要。

I mean, math is important too.

她妈妈微微一笑，说她会再待一会儿，万一格蕾丝需要帮忙。

Her mother smiled a small smile and said she'd stay up a little longer in case Grace needed help.

这还不算完全糟糕。

It wasn't a complete disaster.

巴斯特主要咬烂了那些简单的部分。

Buster had mostly chewed up the easy parts.

格蕾丝在电脑上打开数学练习卷，打印出来，然后坐到书桌前。

Grace pulled up the math worksheets on the computer, printed them out, and sat down at her desk.

巴斯特没有在桌子底下躲太久。

Buster did not hide under the table for long.

不到十分钟，他就悄悄地沿着走廊走回来，现在正躺在她椅子旁边的地板上，下巴搁在她的脚上，这是他表达歉意的方式，而不用真的做点什么。

Within ten minutes, he had padded quietly back down the hallway and was now lying on the floor beside her chair with his chin on her foot, which was his way of saying he was sorry without having to actually do anything about it.

格蕾丝没有看他。

Grace did not look at him.

她在这点上很坚决。

She was being firm about that.

她用最工整的字迹重新写了第一张练习卷，然后是第二张。

She rewrote the first worksheet in her neatest print, Then the second.

这比她预想的要快，这是已经知道所有答案的唯一好处。

It was going faster than she expected, which was the one good thing about already knowing all the answers.

这花了她一整天的时间才弄明白。

Which took her all day to find out.

她的铅笔在纸上飞快地移动，她几乎开始觉得整个情况没那么糟了，这时她爸爸出现在门口。

Her pencil quickly moved down the page, and she was almost starting to feel okay about the whole situation when her dad appeared in the doorway.

他笑着说：“我听说作业的事了。”

I heard about the homework situation, he said with a smile.

我有个建议。

I have a suggestion.

格蕾丝抬起头。

Grace looked up.

她知道接下来要发生什么。

She knew what was coming.

她爸爸总能从任何事情中找到积极的一面，有时候甚至跟数学无关。

Her dad found the positive in everything, and sometimes when it didn't involve math.

这挺有意思的。

It was funny.

把撕碎的纸片压膜，然后直接交上去。

Laminate the shredded pieces and hand them in as is.

告诉老师……

Tell Mrs.

跟伯克说，这反而显得有个性。

Burke it adds character.

爸。

Dad.

或者我们可以像拼图一样把它们拼回去，一道数学拼图。

Or we could glue them back together like a puzzle, a math puzzle.

爸，你知道这不好笑。

Dad, it's not funny, you know.

我只是说，谁会编这种理由？

I'm just saying, who would make this up?

她肯定会相信你的。

She definitely believe you.

没人会编这种借口，还真的拿得出证据。

Nobody invents this excuse and then actually has evidence.

她妈妈出现在他身后的走廊里。

Her mom appeared behind him in the hallway.

她严肃地看了他一眼。

She gave him a serious look.

他点了点头，说你们太较真了，然后马上回到客厅看电视去了。

He nodded and said, you guys are too serious, and promptly went back to the living room to watch television.

格蕾丝转身回到书桌前。

Grace turned back to her desk.

数学作业九点就做完了。

The math was done by nine.

英语作文就另当别论了。

The English essay was a different problem.

她把桌上剩下的残页展开，试着读那些幸存的句子，但这并不容易，因为巴斯特咬得又嚼又舔，特别认真，几乎没留下什么。

She unfolded what was left of it on the desk and tried to read the surviving sentences, which wasn't easy because Buster had chewed and drooled with real commitment and left very little behind.

她能辨认出开头一段，还有结尾附近可能是结论的部分。

She could make out the opening paragraph and something near the end that might have been her conclusion.

中间部分几乎完全看不清了。

The middle was just about indecipherable.

她把它推到一边，打了个哈欠。

She pushed it to one side and yawned.

我想我还是留到明天早上上学前再写吧。

I think I'll leave it until tomorrow morning, before school.

她妈妈九点半进来，关掉了客厅的灯，告诉她别熬太晚。

Her mom came in at 09:30, turned off the hall light, told her not to stay up too much longer.

格蕾丝说她不会的。

Grace said she wouldn't.

她合上笔记本，盖上铅笔帽，靠在椅背上。

She closed her notebook, capped her pencil, and leaned back in her chair.

巴斯特在她脚上睡着了。

Buster was asleep on her foot.

他微微打着鼾，这本来不该这么可爱的。

He was snoring slightly, which should not have been as cute as it was.

她看着他，几乎要这么想。

Almost, she thought as she looked at him.

差不多原谅了。

Almost forgiven.

格蕾丝在闹钟发出那可怕的声音之前就起床了。

Grace was up before her alarm made that terrible noise.

她穿着睡衣坐在书桌前，面前摊着英语作文剩下的部分，试图凭记忆把中间部分重新拼凑起来。

She sat at her desk in her pajamas with what was left of her English essay spread out in front of her, trying to reconstruct the middle from memory.

这比她预想的要容易。

It was easier than she expected.

她在入睡前已经在脑子里写了两遍，虽然那不算真正休息，但结果证明很有用。

She had written it twice in her head on the way to sleep, which was not exactly restful but turned out to be useful.

到早上7点15分，她已经有了完整的草稿。

By 07:15, she had a full draft.

到7点半，她穿好衣服，收拾好书包，站在厨房台子前吃着吐司和花生酱。

By 07:30, she was dressed and had her bag packed and was eating toast and peanut butter standing up at the kitchen counter.

她妈妈说：“你起得真早。”

You're up early, her mom said.

我得把作文写完。

I had to finish my essay.

她妈妈看了她一眼，对着咖啡杯笑了笑。

Her mom looked at her and smiled into her coffee cup.

她平时这么早是不笑的。

She didn't usually smile so early.

巴斯特在厨房里转来转去，进行他的早晨例行公事，包括检查他的碗、检查后门、检查格蕾丝的吐司、舔人的脚趾头或者拽人的袜子，然后再从头来一遍。

Buster was circling the kitchen doing his morning routine, which involved checking his bowl, checking the back door, checking Grace's toast, licking people's toes or pulling on their socks, and then starting over.

格蕾丝把吐司举高了一点。

Grace held her toast slightly higher.

巴斯特抬头看着她。

Buster looked up at her.

别这样，她低头看着他说。

Don't, she said, looking down at him.

巴斯特坐下来，发出了一声小小的呜咽。

Buster sat down and let out a little whimper.

格蕾丝上车的时候，克莱尔正坐在她惯常的位置上，就在公交车中间偏后、靠窗的那个座位。

Claire was in her usual seat by the window just past the middle of the bus when Grace got on.

这个位置不像车尾那么颠簸，也不像车头那样——毕竟克莱尔不喜欢坐前面。

It wasn't as bouncy as the back while not being in the front where Claire didn't like to sit.

格蕾丝在她旁边坐下，把包放在腿上，长长地叹了口气。

Grace sat down beside her, put her bag on her lap, and let out an audible sigh.

你没事吧？

You okay?

克莱尔问道。

Claire asked.

昨晚巴斯特把我的作业吃了。

Buster ate my homework last night.

克莱尔盯着她看。

Claire stared at her.

真的假的？

Like, really?

真的假的。

Like, really.

格蕾丝。

Grace.

克莱尔用手捂住嘴，这表情让人捉摸不透。

Claire put her hand over her mouth, which could have meant anything.

这简直是史上最老套的借口了。

That's literally the oldest excuse ever.

我是说，没人会想到用这个借口，连杰基都不会。

I mean, no one, not even Jackie, would think to attempt it.

我知道。

I know.

伯克

Mrs.

老师会以为你是编的。

Burke is going to think you made it up.

我知道。

I know.

你重做了吗？

Did you redo it?

全部重做了。

All of it.

熬到很晚。

Stayed up super late.

嗯，差不多很晚。

Well, almost super late.

克莱尔抠着椅套的边缘。

Claire picked at the edge of her seat cover.

好吧，但我有个主意。

Okay, but here's an idea.

你可以什么都不说。

You could just not say anything.

直接交上去就行了。

Just hand it in.

内容都齐了，对吧？

It's all there, right?

何必搞得那么尴尬呢？

Why make it weird?

格蕾丝点了点头。

Grace nodded.

我就直接交上去，什么都不说。

I'll just hand it in and say nothing.

格蕾丝想了想。

Grace thought about that.

作业已经重写了。

It was redone.

写得很工整。

It was neat.

熬夜的关键就是谁都不用知道。

The whole point of staying up late was so nobody would have to know.

对，她说。

Yeah, she said.

好，行。

Yeah, Okay.

格蕾丝望向窗外。

Grace looked out the window.

交上去就行。

Hand it in.

什么都别解释。

Say nothing.

翻篇吧。

Move on.

在公交车上听着挺简单的。

It sounded easy on the bus.

伯克

Mrs.

太太的桌上放着一个马克杯，上面写着：我教书。

Burke had a mug on her desk that said, I teach.

你的超能力是什么？

What's your superpower?

还有一副老花镜，用链子挂在脖子上，但从来没真正戴到脸上过。

And reading glasses that she wore on a chain around her neck and never actually put on her face.

她教六年级的时间可能比她父母活的时间还长，很多人都说她后脑勺都长了眼睛。

She had been teaching grade six for longer than maybe her parents had been alive, and many said she had eyes in the back of her head.

格蕾丝坐在座位上，盯着时钟看。

Grace sat in her seat and watched the clock.

第一节课是数学。

Math was first.

伯克太太一排一排地收作业，一路收向教室后面。

Missus Burke collected the worksheets row by row, working her way to the back of the class.

格蕾丝把她的作业纸叠得整整齐齐，每张上面都写了自己的名字。

Grace had her pages stacked neatly, her name written at the top of each one.

当那一摞传到她面前时，她递了过去，就这样。

She handed them over when the pile reached her, and that was that.

格蕾丝慢慢呼了一口气。

Grace breathed out slowly.

英语课在上午休息之后。

English was after morning break.

她的文件夹里放着那篇作文，一共三页，是手写的，因为她没时间再打一遍。

She had the essay in her folder, all three pages, handwritten because she hadn't had time to type it up again.

字迹很工整。

The handwriting was neat.

那些纸看起来就是普通的纸，这正是它们该有的样子。

The pages looked like pages, which was exactly how they were supposed to look.

她到外面去休息，和克莱尔以及另外两个四年级班的孩子一起玩“四方形”游戏，尽量不去想那件事。

She went outside for morning break and played Foursquare with Claire and two kids from the other grade four class and tried not to think about it.

她大部分时候都做到了。

She was mostly successful.

他们回到教室后，

When they came back in, Mrs.

伯克老师让大家把作文传到前面来。

Burke asked everyone to pass their essays to the front.

格蕾丝从文件夹里拿出自己的作文。

Grace took hers out of the folder.

克莱尔从旁边的桌子瞥了一眼。

Claire glanced over from the next desk.

格蕾丝直视前方，把作文传了过去。

Grace looked straight ahead and passed the pages forward.

她看着作文沿着那一排往前传，和前面桌上越来越多的作文叠在一起，再传到更前面，直到传到最前面，

She watched them travel up the row, joining the growing pile on the desk in front, then the one in front of that, until they reached the front, and Mrs.

伯克老师收齐了整排的作文，看都没看就放到了自己桌上。

Burke collected the whole row and set it on her desk without looking.

格蕾丝几乎已经说服自己这事结束了，这时伯克老师开口了。

Grace had almost fully convinced herself it was over when Mrs.

伯克老师说：“格蕾丝，我能跟你谈一下吗？”

Burke said, Grace, can I see you for a minute?

全班同学做出了那种典型的反应——一下子安静下来，但那种安静反而显得特别响。

The class did the thing classes do, which is go very quiet in a very loud way.

克莱尔看了格蕾丝一眼，那眼神同时表达了两层意思：我早告诉过你，以及祝你好运。

Claire gave Grace a look that said, I told you so, and good luck at the same time.

椅子吱吱作响，大家都转过身来看。

Chairs creaked as people turned to look.

她能听到有人在窃笑，还有人憋着气，不过他们应该很快就憋不住了。

She could hear some people snickering and someone was holding their breath, which they should stop doing soon.

克莱尔对她做了个口型，格蕾丝没完全看清，但意思她懂了。

Claire mouthed something at her that Grace didn't quite catch but understood anyway.

格蕾丝走到教室前面。

Grace walked to the front of the class.

伯克

Mrs.

老师手里拿着她的作文。

Burke had her essay in her hand.

她把作文翻过来，指着最后一页的底角，那里有一个小小的但很明显的牙印，在纸上留下了一个月牙形的凹痕。

She turned it over and pointed to the bottom corner of the last page, where a small but undeniable tooth mark had left a crescent shaped dent in the paper.

格蕾丝本来希望没人会注意到那个。

Grace had hoped nobody would notice that.

你想跟我解释一下这个吗？

Do you want to tell me about this?

伯克

Mrs.

老师问道。

Burke asked.

语气并不严厉，只是她说话一贯的方式，直截了当。

Not unkindly, just the way she said most things, which was directly.

格蕾丝深吸了一口气。

Grace took a breath.

她说，我的狗吃了我的作业。

My dog ate my homework, she said.

我知道这听起来很假，但它真的吃了。

I know how that sounds, but he actually did.

它跑进我房间，把大部分作业都撕了，我今早只好重新打印数学练习卷，还从头重写了作文。

He got into my room and shredded most of it, and I had to reprint the math worksheets and rewrite the essay from scratch this morning.

我妈妈说要写个便条。

My mom offered to write a note.

她还拍了现场照片，如果你要看的话。

She also took a photo of the mess if you need to see it.

伯克

Mrs.

太太看了她一会儿。

Burke looked at her for a moment.

她说：“我养了一只金毛猎犬。”

I have a golden retriever, she said.

“去年春天它把我的眼镜给吃了。”

He ate my reading glasses last spring.

她朝自己脖子上的链子点了点头。

She nodded at the chain around her neck.

“所以我现在把眼镜挂在这儿。”

That's why I keep them here now.

她把论文放到了那一摞上面。

She set the essays down on the pile with the others.

她说：“能完成作业，干得不错。”

Good work getting it done, she said.

“回去坐吧。”

Go sit down.

格蕾丝走回了自己的座位。

Grace walked back to her seat.

克莱尔挑了挑眉毛。

Claire raised both eyebrows.

格蕾丝坐下来，打开笔记本，什么也没说。

Grace sat down and opened her notebook and said nothing.

但她脸上带着笑，克莱尔看得见，所以其实也没什么大不了的。

But she was smiling, and Claire could see that, so it didn't really matter.

放学后，格蕾丝从前门走进家里，巴斯特在她两只脚都还没踏进门之前就迎了上来，做着他每次她回家时都会做的事——表现得好像她已经离开了三年，而不是六个小时。

After school, Grace came through the front door of their house, and Buster was there to greet her before she had both feet inside, doing the thing he always did when she came home, which was act as though she had been gone for three years instead of six hours.

他原地打转。

He spun in circles.

他呜呜地叫。

He whined.

他上蹿下跳。

He jumped up and down.

他用鼻子蹭她的手。

He nudged her hand with his nose.

他甚至从门口的鞋架上叼起一只鞋，像战利品一样叼着走来走去，然后又马上放回去，因为他知道自己不能把他们的鞋弄湿。

He even picked up a shoe from the rack by the door and carried it around like a trophy, then promptly set it back because he knew he wasn't allowed to make their shoes gooey.

格蕾丝扔下背包。

Grace dropped her backpack.

她坐在门口的地板上，让他半趴在她腿上，虽然他太大了，但他从来都不接受这一点。

She sat down on the floor in the entrance and let him climb half onto her lap, which he was much too big to do but had never accepted.

所有的担心。

All that worry.

所有那些重写的页面。

All those rewritten pages.

角落里那个牙印，她整个早间休息时间都盯着看，坚信这会毁了她。

The tooth mark in the corner that she'd stared at all through morning break convinced it would be the end of her.

她挠了挠他的耳后，他安静了一会儿，整个后半身都在摇。

She scratched behind his ears, and he went still for a moment his whole back end wagging.

巴斯特露出了一个小小的微笑。

Buster let out a small smile.

你真是个麻烦精，格蕾丝说。

You are such a pain, Grace said.

他舔了舔她的脸，这算是答应了。

He licked her face which was a yes.

这就是我们故事的结局。

And that is the end of our story.

晚安。

Good night.

睡个好觉。

Sleep Tight.
