【选段台词】
Bryce: (Seventh grade brought changes, all right. But the biggest one didn’t happen at school. It happened at home. My grandfather came to live with us. Mom said he stared like that because he misses Grandma. That was not something Grandpa would ever talk about with me. As a matter of fact, he never talked about much of anything with me. That is, until Juli appeared in the local newspaper.)
Grandfather: Oh, Bryce. May I speak with you?
Bryce: What?
Bryce's grandfather:Have a seat, son. Tell me about your friend Juli Baker.
Bryce: Juli. She’s not exactly my friend.
Bryce's Grandfather:Oh. Why’s that?
Bryce:Why do you wanna know?
(Now Juli Baker did not wind up in the Mayfield Times for being an eighth-grade Einstein. No, she got front-page coverage because she refused to climb out of a sycamore tree. Juli Baker and that stupid sycamore tree. She always thought it was God’s gift to our little corner of the universe.）
Juli: Hi,Bryce. Wanna come climb the tree with me and my brothers?
Bryce: No, thanks.
Juli:Bryce.Come up here. It’s fun. You can see everything.
Bryce:I can’t. My dad needs me to help him fix…a thing.
(That’s all I needed. Climb up a tree with Juli Baker. I’d be dragged right back into the second grade. Bryce and Juli sitting in a tree. Why don’t you just make me eat lima beans for the rest of my life.)
Juli: it’s three blocks away!——Two blocks!——One block away!
Bryce:Like that’s valuable information.
Garrett:I hate it when she does that. I like to think there’s at least a chance the bus won’t show.
Juli:I think the tree looks particularly beautiful in this light. Don’t you?
Bryce:If by “beautiful” you mean “unbelievably ugly”, Then, yes, I would agree.
Juli:You’re just visually challenged. I feel sorry for you.
Bryce: (Visually challenged? This from the girl who lived in a house that was the joke of the neighborhood? They had bushes growing over windows and weeds all over the place. It bugged my dad bigtime.)
Bryce’s dad: Oh, there he is. The bricklayer who thinks he’s a painter. The truck’s not ugly enough in real life? He’s gotta make a painting of it?
Bryce’s sister: No, he does landscapes. Sells them at the county fair. People say they’re beautiful.
Bryce’s dad: Landscapes? Let me tell you something. The world would have more beauty in it if he’d do a little landscaping on that piece of crab he calls a yard.
Bryce’ mother: I feel bad for his wife. She married a dreamer. Because of that ,one of the two of them will always be unhappy.
Bryce’s father: yeah, fine. But why do we have to be unhappy?
Bryce: (As annoying as the yard was to my dad, it was nothing compared to how annoying Juli Baker was in that tree.)
Juli:Three blocks away！
Bryce: ( Every morning we had to listen to the sound of her blow-by-blow traffic report.)
Juli:Two blocks!
Others: (There we go.)
【重点词汇】
1.wind up
在选段中的意思是“登上报纸”，Bryce看到Juli登上报纸，略带嘲讽想到：“她登上报纸不是因为她是小爱因斯坦，而是为了她那颗愚蠢的梧桐树，她不肯下来。”这里做引申义，本意有“最终”，“完成”。
2.drag back
意为“拉回”，“拽回”。“我会被拉回那个可怕的两年级。”Bryce不想和Juli一起爬树，因为他认为如果再被别人看到他们在一起的话，他又要回到那个可怕的童年，别人都嘲笑他的那段时光。
3.visually challenged
challenged意为“残疾的”，Juli当在听到Bryce用嘲笑的语气说梧桐树上的风景很丑时，Juli说：“真是可惜你看不到这么美的景色，你真是瞎了。”Juli那时还深深迷恋着Bryce，但为了梧桐树却毅然地责备Bryce，她的确有骨气。
4.bigtime
美国俚语，意为"美好时光"。Bryce在被Juli指责之后不屑一顾，他认为连自家庭院长满野草，灌木都没修建的Juli，毁了他爸爸看风景的乐趣的Juli，没资格说他有眼疾。
5.blow-by-blow
“每天早上我们不得不听她一遍又一遍的交通预报。”Bryce真是受够了Juli的预报声，觉得难以忍受且又不是什么重要的信息。本意为“逐字逐句的”。
