Chapter12 The Dinner

第十二章  晚餐


By the time I got home, I knew it would be selfish of me to boycott the Loskis' dinner party.


一到家,我就知道,抵制罗斯基家的晚宴是一种自私的行为。


My mother had already spent a lot of time humming over pie recipes and going through her closet for “something suitable to wear.” She'd even bought a new shirt for Dad and had scrutinized what the boys intended to wear. Obviously she was looking forward to the dinner— not that I really understood that, but I didn't want to ruin everything by telling her about my newfound hatred of Bryce.


妈妈已经花了很长时间用来挑选做派的食谱,并且搜遍衣柜寻找一件“得体的衣服”。她甚至为爸爸买了一件新衬衫,还仔细审查了男孩子们打算穿什么。显然,她很期待这次晚餐——我虽然不是很理解,但也不想把我刚刚对布莱斯产生的怨恨告诉她,毁掉这一切。


And Dad felt bad enough about David already. The last thing he needed was to hear about crackpot comments made by immature eighth graders.


而爸爸已经对戴维够内疚了。他完全不需要再次听到八年级小孩对他的恶毒评论。


So that night I went through the motions of baking pies with my mother and convinced myself

that I was doing the right thing. One dinner couldn't change anyone's life. I just had to get through it.

于是,那天晚上我三心二意地帮妈妈烤派,说服自己作了正确的决定。一次晚饭改变不了任何人的生活。我必须扛过去。
