SUNDAY酬姆，JUNE21蹄葱，1942
Dearest Kitty凉夯，
Our entire class is quaking【v. （因恐懼或緊張）發(fā)抖吏够；震動(dòng)（quake 的現(xiàn)在分詞）】 in its boots. The reason，of course训柴，is the upcoming meeting in which the teachers decide who'll be promoted to the next grade and who’ll be kept back. Half the class is making bets.? G.Z. and I Iaugh ourselves sick at the two boys behind us哑舒， C.N. and Jacques Kocermoot妇拯，who have staked their entire vacation savings on their bet. “You’re going to pass.” “No I'm not.” “No.”…
我們?nèi)喽紘樀冒l(fā)抖幻馁。原因當(dāng)然是即將召開的會(huì)議洗鸵，老師們將決定誰被提升到下一年級(jí)，誰被留級(jí)仗嗦。班上一半的人在打賭膘滨。我和G.Z.大肆嘲笑我們后面的C.N.和雅克·科瑟穆特，他們把整個(gè)假期用的錢都?jí)涸诹诉@個(gè)賭上稀拐』鸬耍“你會(huì)升級(jí)的〉虑耍” “不铲咨，我不會(huì)◎押椋” “會(huì)”…
From morning to night. Even G.’s pleading glances and my angry outbursts can't calm them down.? If you ask me纤勒，there are so many dummies【傻瓜】 that about a quarter of the class should be kept back，but teachers are the most unpredictable creatures on earth.? Maybe this time there’ll be unpredictable in the right direction for a change.? I'm not so worried about my girlfriend and myself.? We'll make it.? The only subject I’m not sure about is math. Anyway隆檀，all we can do is wait.? Until then摇天，we keep telling each other not to lose heart.
從早到晚，即使是G懇求的眼神和我的憤怒也不能使他們平靜下來恐仑。如果你問我泉坐，我的回答是，笨蛋太多了裳仆，以至于班上有四分之一的人應(yīng)該留級(jí)腕让，但老師是世界上最不可預(yù)測(cè)的生物。也許這一次會(huì)有不可預(yù)知的回到正確方向的改變鉴逞。我不太擔(dān)心我女朋友和我自己记某。我們會(huì)通過。我唯一不確定的科目是數(shù)學(xué)构捡∫耗希總之，我們只能等了勾徽。在那之前滑凉，我們一直告訴彼此不要失去信心。
I get along pretty well with all my teachers.? There are nine of them喘帚，seven men and two women.? Mr. Keesing畅姊，the old forgey teaches math，was mad at me for the longest time because I talked so much.? After several warnings吹由，he assigned me extra homework.? And is on the subject“A Chatterbox.” A Chatterbox若未，what can you write about that？I’d worry about that later倾鲫，I decided. I jotted down the assignment in my notebook粗合，tucked it in my bag and tried to keep quiet.
我和所有的老師都相處得很好萍嬉。有九個(gè)人，七男兩女隙疚。教數(shù)學(xué)的老偽造家基辛先生很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間都在生我的氣壤追，因?yàn)槲以捥嗔恕Ｔ趲状尉嬷蠊┨耄o我布置了額外的家庭作業(yè)行冰。主題是"話匣子"一個(gè)話匣子，你能寫些什么呢?我決定以后再考慮這個(gè)問題伶丐。我把作業(yè)草草記在筆記本上悼做，塞進(jìn)包里，并努力保持安靜哗魂。
