Chapter 4 Invitations——6

The snow washed away for good after that one dangerously icy day.

在危险的冰天雪地之后，这场雪洗走了很多。

Mike was disappointed he'd never gotten to stage his snowball fight, but pleased that the beach trip would soon be possible.

Mike对于他们没有机会打雪仗而失望，但是开心的是海滩旅游很快可能就要来了。

The rain continued heavily, though, and the weeks passed.

雨继续下的很大，并且持续了这一周。

Jessica made me aware of another event looming on the horizon — she called the first Tuesday of March to ask my permission to invite Mike to the girls' choice spring dance in two weeks.

Jessica让我意识到了另一件事情马上浮出地平线——两周前，她打电话给我问是否允许三月的第一个星期二邀请Mike去女生的春天舞会。

"Are you sure you don't mind… you weren't planning to ask him?" she persisted when I told her I didn't mind in the least.

“你确定你不介意…你不准备问问他吗？”当我最后告诉她我不介意的时候她坚持的问着。

"No, Jess, I'm not going," I assured her.

“不介意，Jess，我没准备去”我向她保证着

Dancing was glaringly outside my range of abilities.

跳舞显然超出了我的能力范围。

"It will be really fun." Her attempt to convince me was half hearted.

“这将会很有趣的。”她半心半意的尝试让我信服

I suspected that Jessica enjoyed my inexplicable popularity more than my actual company.

我怀疑Jessica更加的喜欢我令人费解的人缘，而不是真的想和我做真心的朋友。

"You have fun with Mike," I encouraged.

“你和Mike玩的开心”我鼓励道。
