Chapter 2 Open Book——1

The next day was better… and worse.

明天会更好也会更坏。

It was better because it wasn't raining yet, though the clouds were dense and opaque.

更好是因为不会再下雨了，但云层依然又厚又密。

It was easier because I knew what to expect of my day.

这一天要容易些，因为我知道这一天都有什么可期待。

Mike came to sit by me in English, and walked me to my next class, with ChessClub Eric glaring at him all the while; that was nattering.

mike英语课坐在我旁边，然后陪我走到下一节课的教师，一路 上说个不停，而“象棋俱乐部”埃里克始终瞪着他。

People didn't look at me quite as much as they had yesterday.

人民没有像昨天一样好奇的看着我。

I sat with a big group at lunch that included Mike, Eric, Jessica, and several other people whose names and faces I now remembered.

我吃中饭的时候坐在一个大的团里面，包括Mike, Eric, Jessica和几个别的名字和脸我刚知道的同学。

I began to feel like I was treading water, instead of drowning in it.

我开始感到像是踏在了水面上，而不是被水淹没。
