Flipped(怦然心动)：Chapter03

Chapter03  Buddy, Beware!

第三章  哥们儿，小心点！

Seventh grade brought changes, all right, but the biggest one didn't happen at school — it happened at home. Granddad Duncan came to live with us.

好吧，七年级是充满变化的一年，但是最大的变化并非发生在学校，而是在家里。邓肯外公搬来和我们一起住了。

At first it was kind of weird because none of us really knew him. Except for Mom, of course. And even though she's spent the past year and a half trying to convince us he's a great guy, from what I can tell, the thing he likes to do best is stare out the front-room window. There's not much to see out there except the Bakers' front yard, but you can find him there day or night, sitting in the big easy chair they moved in with him, staring out the window.

最开始的时候是有点奇怪，因为我们中间没有谁真正认识他。当然，除了妈妈。虽然她用了一年半的时间告诉我们他是个多么伟大的人，但在我看来，他最喜欢做的事就是从临街的窗户朝外望。除了贝克家的前院，那里没什么好看的，但他不管白天黑夜都待在那儿，坐在和他一起搬进家门的大号安乐椅上，望着窗外。

Okay, so he also reads Tom Clancy novels and the newspapers and does crossword puzzlesand tracks his stocks, but those things are all distractions. Given no one to justify it to, the man would stare out the window until he fell asleep. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It just seems so … boring.

好吧，他也读汤姆•克兰西的惊悚小说，看报纸，做填字游戏，看看股票行情，但这些

不过是对他看街景这件事的插花。没人提出反对意见，这人总是看着窗外直到睡着为止。虽然也说不上有什么不对，但这样真的……挺无聊的。
