Diving Under 第一章：下潜 All Ive ever wanted is for July Baker to leave me alone. For her to back off — you know, just give me some space. 我只有一个愿望：让朱莉安娜?贝克别来烦我。快点给我走开！——我只想让她离我远点。 It all started the summer before second grade when our moving van pulled into her neighborhood. And since were now about done with the eighth grade that, my friend, makes more than half a decade of strategic avoidance and social discomfort. 这一切都起源于一年级暑假，从我家的卡车停在她家隔壁开始。眼下，我们都快上完八年级了，也就是说，整整五年，我不得不忍受着社交上的不便，对她实行“战略性回避”。 She didnt just barge into my life. She barged and shoved and wedged her way into my life. Did we invite her to get into our moving van and start climbing all over boxes? No! But thats exactly what she did, taking over and showing off like only Juli Baker can. 她可不只是闯入了我的生活，她是千方百计非要在我的生活里占领一席之地不可。难道是我们邀请她爬进搬家的卡车里，在箱子上爬来爬去的吗？才没有！可她就是不请自来，好像这是她的家，是她朱莉安娜?贝克的特权似的。 My dad tried to stop her. “Hey!” he says as shes catapulting herself on board. “What are you doing?

And even though my dad had been tossing me the same sort of look all week, I could tell — he didnt like this girl either. “Hey! Dont do that,” he warned her. “There are some really valuable things in that box.” 我一点儿也不喜欢她的暗示。虽然我爸也整天用这种眼神看我，可我敢说，他也不喜欢这丫头。“嘿，别推了，”他提醒道，“箱子里有贵重物品。” “Oh. Well, how about this one?” She scoots over to a box labeled LENOX and looks my way again. “We should push it together!” “哦，好吧。那我搬这个吧？”她挪到另一个贴着“LENOX（餐具）”标志的箱子旁边，又看了我一眼，“我们可以一起推！” “No, no, no!” my dad says, then pulls her up by the arm. “Why dont you run along home?
