 By dint 1 of much elbow grease, I was able to get both windows in the truck almost completely rolled down.  靠着肘部脂肪的力量,我终于能够把卡车里的每扇窗子都差不多完全摇了下来。


I was one of the first ones to school; I hadn't even checked the clock in my hurry to get outside.  我是第一个到学校的。我甚至没有看一眼时钟,就急急忙忙地出门了。
I parked and headed toward the seldom-used picnic benches on the south side of the cafeteria.  我把车停好,径直走向自助餐厅南面的那些很少用到的野餐长凳。
The benches were still a little damp, so I sat on my jacket, glad to have a use for it.  那些长凳还有点潮,所以我坐在了我的夹克上,为有机会用到它而高兴着。
My homework was done — the product of a slow social life — but there were a few Trig problems I wasn't sure I had right.  我的作业已经做完了——慢节奏社交生活的产物——但还有几道三角函数题我不能肯定自己做对了。
I took out my book industriously 2, but halfway 3 through rechecking the first problem I was daydreaming 4, watching the sunlight play on the red-barked trees.  我勤奋地拿出了书,但在检查第一道题的时候就中途停了下来,开始神游太虚,注视着在红色树皮的树顶上跃动着的阳光。
I sketched 5 inattentively along the margins 6 of my homework.  我一时大意,在我的家庭作业的空白处画起速写来。
After a few minutes, I suddenly realized I'd drawn 7 five pairs of dark eyes staring out of the page at me.  几分钟以后,我才忽然注意到,自己画了五双黑色的眼睛,都在纸上盯着我看。
I scrubbed them out with the eraser. 我用橡皮擦把它们完全擦掉了。
"Bella!" I heard someone call, and it sounded like Mike. “贝拉!”我听到某人在喊我,听起来像是迈克。
I looked around to realize that the school had become populated while I'd been sitting there, absentminded.  我抬起头看四周,这才发觉在我心不在焉地坐在这里的时候,学校里已经挤满了人。
Everyone was in t-shirts, some even in shorts though the temperature couldn't be over sixty.  每个人都穿着T恤衫,有些人甚至还穿着短袖衫,尽管气温最多不超过六十华氏度。
Mike was coming toward me in khaki shorts and a striped Rugby shirt, waving. 迈克向我走过来,一路挥着手,他穿着卡其色的短袖衫,套在一件条纹橄榄球衫外。
"Hey, Mike," I called, waving back, unable to be halfhearted on a morning like this. “嗨,迈克。”我喊着,向他挥手。我不能在这样一个早晨表现得毫无兴致。
He came to sit by me, the tidy spikes 8 of his hair shining golden in the light, his grin stretching across his face.  他走过来坐到我身旁,梳得整整齐齐的头发在阳光里闪闪发亮。
He was so delighted to see me, I couldn't help but feel gratified. 他张大嘴笑着。只是见到我就能让他这样高兴,我无法不感到满足。
