"Hey, Mikey, I got just the job for you. You keep an eye out for mom, okay?
"嗨,米基,我有你要的东西。你留心一下妈妈,好吗?
I'm keen on this girl who's coming over! I don't want mom to know just yet, so keep it a secret, okay?"
我很喜欢马上要来的这个女孩!但我现在还不想让妈妈知道,所以替我保守秘密,行吗?"
"Sure,Billy. Can I have some junk food?" Mikey said. He was just 6 years old.
"没问题,比利,我能吃点垃圾食品吗?"米基说。他刚六岁。
Billy wasn't sure he would be able to keep it quiet, but it was worth a try.
比利不敢肯定他是否能够保守秘密,但试一下还是可以的。
"Sure. I was just about to give you one anyhow!"
"好的。我正准备给你东西吃呢!"
Then the doorbell rang and it was the girl.
就在这时,门铃响了,是那个女孩。
"Just a minute!" He yelled and then went to open the door.
"等一下!"他喊道,然后就去开门。
He let the girl in and they started to head towards his room.
他把女孩让进来,俩人开始向他的房间走去。
Just as they were going upstairs together Mikey came out and said, "Hey, Billy. Who is that?"
就在他俩一起上楼梯的时候,米基出来问道"嗨,比利,是谁呀?"
"This is my friend, Mikey, remember? You keep an eye on the driveway, okay? If mom comes back you just yell!"
"是我的朋友,米基,还记得吗?你留意一下马路那边,行吗?如果妈妈回来,你就喊一下!"
"Can I come up, too?" Mikey asked.
"我也能上来吗?"米基问。
"Not just now!" Billy said. Just my luck, he thought, he wants to play!
"现在还不行!"比利说。我的运气总是这么差,他想,他想玩儿!
"You keep up eating your junk food and we'll be back in a half hour!"
"你继续吃你的垃圾食品,我们过半个小时就回来!"
Fifteen minutes later Mom's car drove up. Mikey yelled and Billy heard him.
15分钟之后,妈妈开车回来了。米基叫了一声,比利听到了。
It was just as well for Billy, the girl didn't want to kiss at all.
比利正好也不必遗憾,那女孩根本不想接吻。
After rushing the girl out the back door, Billy came out and greeted his mother with Mikey at the door.
匆匆忙忙把女孩从后门打发走之后,比利出来和妈妈打招呼,而米基就站在门口。
Later Billy thanked Mikey.
后来比利对米基表示了感谢。
"You did a great job keeping abreast of the situation! Do you want to go see a movie tomorrow?"
"你见机行事做得不错!你想明天去看电影吗?"
"Yeah, yeah!" and then Mikey was so happy that he went and told his mom that Billy was taking him to a movie for keeping a secret.
"想,想!"然后米基高兴得去跟妈妈说比利要带他去看电影,因为他替他保了密。
"What secret?" mom asked!
"你保了什么密?"妈妈问道!
