Thursday
On the bus ride into school today we pasd by grandma's hou.It got rolled with toilet paper last night,which I guess was no big surpri.
I do feel a little bad becau it looked like it was gonna take a long time to clean
up.But on the bright side,grandma is retired,so she probably didn't have anything plan for today anyway. Wednesday
Inside the period,Mr.Underwood,our Phys Ed teacher,announced that the boys will be doing a wrestling until for the next six weeks.
If there's one thing most boys in my school are into it's a professional wrestling. So Mr.Underwood might as well have t off a bomb.
Lunch comes right after Phy Ed,and the cafeteria was a Complete madhou.
I don't know what the school is thinking having a wrestling unit.
But I decided if I don't want to get twisted into a pretzel for the next month and a half.I'd better do my homework on this wrestling business.
So I rented a couple of video games to learn some movies.And you know what, after a while I was really starting to get the hang of it.元音单词
In fact,the other kids in my class had better look out,becau if I keep this up,I could be a real threat.
Then again,I better make sure I don't do too good.This kid named Preston Mudd got named Athlete of the month for being the best player in the basketball unit, so they put his picture up in the the bright side好的一面

今天我们乘公共汽车上学，经
过奶奶家。奶奶家的房子昨晚被卫
生纸裹了起来（译者按：到处是卫生纸，昨
天晚上的捣蛋的小孩弄的），我想这并不奇
怪。
我确实觉得有点糟糕，因为看
起来要花很长时间才能清理。但从
好的方面来说，奶奶已经退休了，
所以她可能今天没有任何计划。
星期三
在这段时间里，我们的体育老
师安德伍德先生宣布，男孩们将在
接下来的六周内进行摔跤。
如果有一件事我们学校的大多
数男孩都喜欢的话，那就是职业摔
跤。所以安德伍德先生还不如引爆
炸弹。
午餐就在体育课之后，自助餐
厅完全成了疯人院。
我不知道是什么让学校想什么
有个摔跤队。
但我决定了如果我不想在接下
来的一个半月里变成椒盐卷饼。我
最好认真对待摔跤这件事情。
所以我租了几个电子游戏来学
一些动作。你知道吗，过了一段时
间，我真的开始掌握它的诀窍了。
事实上，我班上的其他孩子最
好小心一点，因为如果我坚持下去，
我可能会成为一个真正的威胁。
再说一遍，我最好确保我做得
硫酸铵分子量
不太好。这个叫普雷斯顿·穆德的
孩子因为是篮球队中最好的球员而
被评为本月体育运动员，所以他们
把他的照片放在走廊的墙上。
It took people about five conds to realize how"p.Mudd"sounded when you said it out loud,and after that,it was all over for Preston.
Thursday
Well,I found out today that the kind of wrestling Mr.Underwood is teaching is
completely different from the kind they do on TV.
First of all,we have to wear the things called"singlet s,"which look like tho bathing suits they ud to wear in the1800s.
And cond of all,there are no pile drivers or hitting people over the heads with chairs or anything like that.
There's no even a ring with ropes around it.It's just basically a sweaty mat that smells like it's never been washed before.
Mr.Underwood started asking for volunteers so he could demonstrate some wrestling holds,but there was no way I was going to rai my hand.
Me and Rowley tried to hide out in the back of the gym near the curtain,but that's where the girls were doing their gymnastics unit.
We got out of there in a hurry and we went back to where the rest of the guys were.
Mr.Underwood singled me out, probably becau I'm the lightest kid in the class,And he could toss me around without strainin g himlf.He showed everybody how to do all the things called a"half nelson"and a"reversal"and a"takedown"and stuff like that.6.different from与……不同
7.singlet汗衫；单衬衣
Piledriver打桩摔。（这一招式来
源于打桩机。）
8.in a hurry马上；立刻
覆去；被车或船颠来颠去）
10.strain扭伤；拉伤
11.half nelson单臂扼颈
当你念出“P.Mudd”时，人们
要花五秒钟才反应过来。之后，就
没普雷斯顿什么事了。

嗯，我今天发现，安德伍德先
生教的摔跤和电视上播的完全不
同。
首先，我们必须穿这些叫做“汗
衫”的东西，它们看起来就像19世
纪以前穿的泳衣。
其次，没有打桩摔，也没有人
用椅子或类似的东西撞人的头。
这什么都没有，连环绕的带环
的绳子都没有。基本上就是一个汗
湿的垫子，闻起来好像从来没洗过。
安德伍德先生开始找志愿者，
这样他就可以展示一些摔跤手，但
我不可能举手。
我和罗利试图躲在体育馆后方
的窗帘附近，但那是女孩们做体操
的地方。
我们赶紧地离开了那里，回到
了其他男孩子呆的地方。
安德伍德先生把我挑了出来，
可能是因为我是班上最轻的孩子，
他可以把我抛来抛去，而不会让自
己受伤。他向每个人展示了如何做
“单臂扼颈”、“逆转”和“推翻”
等等动作。
When he was doing this one move called the"fireman's carry,"I felt a breeze down below,and I could tell my singlet that wasn't doing a good job keeping me covered up.
That's when I thanked my lucky stars, the girls were on the other side of the gym.
口味重Mr.Underwood divided us up into weight groups.I was pretty happy about that at first,becau it meant I wasn't going to have to wrestle kids like Benny Wells,Who can bench-press250pounds.
But then I found out who I did have to wrestle and I would have traded for Benny Wells in a heartbeat.
Fregley was the only kid light enough
to be in my weight class.And apparently Fregley was paying attention when Mr. Underwood was giving instructions, becau he pinned me every which way you could imagine.I spent my7th period getting way more familiar with Fregley than I ever wanted to be.
Tuesday
This wrestling unit has totally turned our school upside down.Now kids are wrestling in the hallways,in the classrooms,you name it.But the15 minutes after lunch where they let us outside is the worst.
You can't walk five feet without tripping over a couple of kids going at it.I just try to keep my distance.And mark my words,one of the fools is going to roll right onto the Chee and start the Chee Touch all over again.weight class重量级
familiar熟悉的
you name it你能想起的
当他做这个动作的时候，我感
觉到下面有一阵微风，我可以告诉
我，这并不能很好地掩盖我。
幸运的是，女孩们在健身房的
另一边。
安德伍德先生把我们分成几
组。起初，我对此很高兴，因为这
意味着我不需要和像本尼·威尔斯
那样的孩子摔跤，谁能承受250磅
的压力。
但后来我发现我必须和谁摔
跤，我会立刻换下本尼·威尔斯。
弗雷格利是我们这个重量级里
吹响集结号唯一一个较轻的孩子。很显然，当
安德伍德先生发出指示时，弗雷格
利很用心，因为他把我按在你能想
象的每一种方式上。我的第7段时
间对弗雷格利的了解比我想的要
多。
星期二
这个摔跤队把我们学校搞得一
团糟。现在孩子们在走廊里、教室
里还有你能想到的任何地方摔跤。
但午饭15分钟后，可以让我们出去
敬老孝亲的这段时间是最糟糕的。
你走不到五英尺就会被几个孩
子绊倒。我只是想保持距离。记
住我的话，这些傻瓜中的一个会滚
到奶酪上，然后重新开始“奶酪接
触”（之前提到过的游戏）。
My other big problem is that I have to wrestle Fregley every single day.But this morning I realized something.If I can move out of Fregley weight class,I won't have to wrestle him anymore.
So today,I stuffed my clothes with a bunch of socks and shirts to get mylf into the next weight class.
But I was still too light to move up.
I realized I was gonna have to gain weight for real.At first I thought I should just start loading up on junk food,but then I had a much better idea.
I decided to gain my weight in muscle not fat.
I've never been all that interested in getting in shape before,but this wrestling unit has made me rethink things.
I figure if I bulk up now,it could actually came in handy down the road.
The football unit is coming in the spring,and they split the teams up into shirts and skins.And I always get put on skins.
I think they do that to make all the out-of-shape kids feel ashamed of themlves.
If I can pack on some muscle now,it will be a whole different story next April.
Tonight,after dinner,I got Mom and Dad together and told them my plan.I told them I was going to need some rious exerci equipment,and some weight-gain powder,too.
move up（使）升级；提升
loading up装货
getting in shape保持身材
bulk up增加；积累
handy down the road派上用场
split up分成若干小部分
shirts and skins表示一队穿衣服
一队光着膀子。Skin：皮肤
feel ashamed of感到惭愧
pack on塞进
Serious重要的，严肃的
我的另一个大问题是我每天都
要和费雷格利摔跤。但今天早上我
意识到了一些事情。如果我能从弗
雷格利重量级出去，我就不用再和
他摔跤了。
所以今天，我在衣服里塞了一
堆袜子和衬衫，想让自己进入下一
个重量级。
但我还是太轻了，提升不了。
我意识到我真的得增加体重。
起初我以为我应该开始吃垃圾食
品，但后来我有了一个更好的主意。
我决定增加肌肉的重量而不是
脂肪。
我以前对保持身材没有兴趣，
但这个摔跤问题让我重新思考一些
事情。
我想如果我现在开始积累，它
实际上可以派上用场。
足球联赛将在春季举行，他们
把球队分成两队，一队穿衣服，一
队光着膀子。我总是被分在光膀子
的一组。
我认为他们这样做是为了让所
有身材不正常的孩子感到羞愧。
如果我现在能增加一些肌肉，
明年四月的情况将完全不同。
今晚，晚饭后，我把爸爸妈妈
聚在一起，告诉他们我的计划。我
告诉他们我需要一些重要的锻炼设
备，还有一些增重粉。
I showed them some muscle magazines I got at the store so they could e how ripped I was going to be.
Mom didn't really say anything at first,but Dad was pretty enthusiastic.I
think he was just glad I had a chance of heart from how I ud to be when I was a kid——
"If you work out regularly,you can get big muscles!"
"Muscles are gross!"
But Mom said,if I wanted a weight t,I was going to have to prove that I could stick with an exerci regimen.She said I could do that by doing sit-ups and jumping jacks for two weeks.
I had to explain that the only way to get totally bulked up is to get the kind of high-tech machines the
y have at the gym, But Mom didn't want to hear it.
Then Dad said if I wanted a bench press,I should keep my fingers crosd for Christmas.
But Christmas is a month and a half away.And if I get pinned by Fregley one more time,I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown.
So it looks like Mom and Dad aren't going to be any help.And that means I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands,as usual.a chance of heart一个有希望的人
ud to be曾经是
prove证明
stick with坚持
bench press举重练习凳
nervous紧张的
breakdown崩溃
我给他们看了一些我在商店买
的肌肉杂志，这样他们就能想像到
我将来有明显的肌肉线条的样子。
起初妈妈并没有说什么，但爸
爸很热情。我想他只是很高兴我有
机会改变我小时候——
“如果你经常锻炼，你可以得
到大肌肉！”
“肌肉真恶心！”
但妈妈说，如果我想要一套体
重设备，我必须证明我可以坚持某
个锻炼方案。她说我可以做仰卧起
坐和跳跳千斤顶两个星期。团购活动
我不得不解释说，唯一能让身
体完全膨胀的方法就是用健身房里
的那种高科技机器，但妈妈不想听。
然后爸爸说，如果我想要一个
举重练习凳，我应该祈祷圣诞节。（指
期待圣诞节礼物）
但圣诞节还有一个半月。如果
我再被弗雷格利缠住一次，我会紧
张的崩溃。
所以看来爸爸妈妈不会帮我
了。这意味着我必须像往常一样,
自己着手解决。
