小屁孩日記

星期六Saturday

老爸把錢匯給了蓋瑞叔叔，然后他就音訊全無了，直到今天才出現(xiàn)。蓋瑞叔叔進(jìn)屋后跟我們講了事情的原委。DadsentUncleGarythemoney,andwehadn’theardfromhimuntiltoday.After UncleGarycameinsidethehouse,hetoldus whathappened.

他說他在波士頓遇到了一個(gè)街角賣T恤衫的人。這個(gè)店主跟他說，只要他肯接手自己的生意，準(zhǔn)能大賺一筆。HesaidhemetaguyinBoston

拿到老爸給他的錢后，蓋瑞叔叔就把那人的T恤衫全買了下來。不過蓋瑞叔叔怎么都沒有想到，T恤衫上有個(gè)錯(cuò)別字，等他發(fā)現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，賣家早就溜得影兒都沒了。Soafterhegotthemoney fromDad,UncleGarybought uptheguy’sT-shirts.But whatUncleGarydidn’t knowwasthatthe T-shirtshadatypo onthem,andbythe timehenoticedthe problem,the guy wasalreadygone.

蓋瑞叔叔說要借個(gè)地方落腳，直到自己東山再起。老爸不大樂意接收他，不過老媽下樓之后跟蓋瑞叔叔說，他愛住多久就住多久。不過等老媽看到停在車道上的搬家貨車后，她跟蓋瑞叔叔說，我們家里實(shí)在沒地方放這些家具了。UncleGary toldDadheneedsaplacetostayuntilhecan getonhisfeetagain.Daddidn’tseemtoo happyaboutthat,butbythemMomwas downstairs,andshetoldUncleGaryhecanstay aslongasheneeds.ButwhenMomsawthe movingvaninthedriveway,shetoldUncleGary wedidn’treallyhaveanyroominourhousefor extrafurniture.

蓋瑞叔叔讓老媽放一百個(gè)心，說他一件家具都沒有。搬家貨車?yán)锒际且幌湟幌涞腡恤衫，我們花了一整個(gè)上午來卸貨，把這些箱子搬到了我們的車庫里。Hesaidshedidn’sneedtoworry,becausehedidn’thaveanyfurniture.The movingvanwasfilledwithboxesofT-shirts,

我看蓋瑞叔叔還是不死心，找一切機(jī)會(huì)要把T恤衫賣掉。他以3美元賣了一件給羅德里克，我猜羅德里克還以為自己占大便宜了。Idon’tthinkUncle Garyisgivinguponselling them,either.Heunloaded oneonRodrickforthree bucks,andIthinkRodrick feelslikehegotasteal.
