《Flipped》

All I ever wanted was for Juli Baker to leave me alone.

我只求Juli Baker别来烦我。

It all began in the summer of 1957, before the start of second grade.

一切从1957年夏天、小学二年级开学前开始。

For me, it was the beginning of what would be more than half a decade of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.

我从此展开了超过五年的策略回避与不安。

It didn’t take long to realize this girl could not take a hint. 

我们很快发现，这女孩听不懂暗示。

Of any kind.

怎么说都不听。

I mean, nothing would stop her.

什么都阻止不了她。

I was about to tell her to get lost when the weirdest thing happened.

我正打算叫她走开，最奇怪的事就发生了。

I couldn’t believe it.

我真不敢相信。

There I was holding hands with this strange girl.

我竟然握着这个陌生女孩的手。

How did I get into this mess?

我怎么会扯进这场混乱中？

Finally, I did the only manly thing available when you’re 7 years old.

最后，我做了7岁小孩唯一像个男人的做法。

However, my troubles were far from over.

不过我的麻烦却远没结束。
