Thurs. July 14, 2011 Dear Diary, Today, we ran through Aladdin Jr. Act (Part) I, and I was so tired that I almost forgot to get on the stage when I was supposed to. They said we did a great job and awarded us a 15-minute break, as we always had. So I guess we had 18 awards after the camp had passed 18 days. We played the Mafia, and I was the first one killed by the Mafia. As soon as the break was over, we had to go inside. But someone called me to try on my costume. I had long pants, long, rough sleeves, and a tight red belt. We did "Friend Like Me" before it was over. We went to lunch, and I sat with Harrison. We stole the bag of chips the teacher had been feasting on. I went to play soccer with our troop J2, and it was boys vs. three teachers. We lost 1-3. We played Knockout basketball. I never won a game, although I was the first to make a sharpshooter. We went swimming, and I chased the identical two boys as yesterday. But they were on the base the whole time. Oh, wow! I bet I could sleep for 72 hours!! ZZZ... Friday, July 15, 2011 Dear Diary, This morning, we successfully performed Act 2 of Aladdin Jr. We did "Prince Ali" first, and I was confused because No. 1 greeted me. I went back into the theater, and people were charging at me. I didn't mean with their heads pointed at me, but with their eyes. Bang! I fell off the stage. I had to see the nurse. All she gave me were crumbles of ice. And guess what? I could barely make a single move. Then I went to lunch. We had no time to eat, so I left half my lunch in my blue lunchbox. We walked to the gym and played knockout basketball. I always came in fourth or fifth place. I waited for the rest of the activities to be completed in the field. I went inside the swimming pool, and two kids from yesterday were all bored with that chasing game. We just swam laps, which tested my strength. Mon. July 18, 2011 Dear Diary, Today, we were told we would have a busy week. This meant working like a dog. We just had to get the show moving. As Mrs. Kris, the show producer, said, she threw in the choreography immediately. She continued talking for about an hour and a half till snack time. The snack seemed like a minibar. Didn't we need to get bigger? We did "Prince Ali" but started from the part where the last scene was. I was confused when I started marching in. Later, we had "A Whole New World". All I needed to do was sit back and sing. In "Why Me?", it was funny because Jafar, the villainous vizier, and his sidekick, Iago, the parrot, said that they were going to destroy a wedding between Princess Jasmine and Aladdin, the street rat, in a freakish, tragic accident. And both laughed wickedly afterward. Tues. July 19, 2011 Dear Diary We ran the whole Aladdin Jr. Show in the theater camp this morning with our costumes. I kept tripping over my pants on the stage. The producer, music director, and dance director always said to use expression well. No one gave me any comments or even looked at me. Excused me? Was this the opposite day? We never had a snack because yesterday, Mrs. Kris said we would have a busy week. I went to lunch late, so guess what? Those two kids I had always been talking about were already gone (but not forever). In the afternoon camp, we had a Quiz competition. I answered two questions right and got two points for our troop. However, we still came in fourth place, the last one. We went swimming, and I came to visit Ethan. He acted like he didn't know me. I think that I had to make a new friend. Wed. July 20, 2011 Dear Diary, This morning, the producer and directors said we would run the whole Aladdin Jr. Show, but they wanted us to start a random part (which betrayed us). Finally, we ran the show, and we all had excitement, which gave us energy. In the end, they praised us for doing a fabulous job. We had lunch, and Robert, another Jewish boy who played Prince Baba of Ganoush, was like my best new buddy. We went back and forth to the groove because we wanted to go on the computers. Afterward, we had a project about painting animal feet, such as a chick's, a turtle's shell, a hamster's, and, last but not least, a cockroach's. We decorated them in pink, blue, green, and black on an oversized white Germantown Academy Day Camp shirt. We were told to take it home as a souvenir after it had dried. We had relay races in the swimming pool and came in 4th place. I'd rather have a free swim and do whatever I wanted. 【紅霞譯】
二O一一年七月十四日,星期四 親愛的日記: 今天我們演習了《阿拉丁》上半場,我累得竟然忘記了登台。我們演得不錯,並因此收到表揚,獎勵休息了15分鐘,可我們平常也休息這樣長呀。我琢磨着過去18天戲劇營生活里,我們應該已經獲得18次這樣的獎勵了吧。中間休息時,我們又在玩《黑手黨》遊戲,而我是第一位壯烈犧牲的。到了排練時間,我們只好回到劇場。這時,我被叫去試服裝。瞧這套按我體形做出來的行頭──褲腿寬大,袖子超長邋遢,紅絲帶緊繃在腰間。 中午吃飯的時候,我坐在哈里森旁邊。我倆順手牽羊,把那袋餵飽老師的土豆片抄了過來。 飯罷,我們J2男生組成的足球隊跟三位老師抗衡,結果以一比三敗北。接着,我們進行投籃比賽,我最後輸了,但我是第一位投中籃圈的。游泳的時候,我繼續追逐昨天被我追逐的那兩位小夥伴,可他們一直待在池邊。真拿他們沒辦法!看來我可以一連睡上三天!呼嚕呼嚕呼嚕…… 二O一一年七月十五日,星期五
親愛的日記: 今天早上,我們成功地演習了一遍《阿拉丁》第二幕。我們先從《阿里王子》開始,不知怎麼搞的,我竟然第一個出場。當我來到劇場,大家的眼光全聚焦在我身上,我不是說他們的腦袋直頂着我。結果怎麼樣?我從戲台上掉了下來!不得已,我必須去見護士。她倒沒當回事,給了我一些冰塊冷敷一下。猜猜看?我哪裡還能動呢!午飯時間到了,我們幾乎沒有多少工夫,所以我只能剩一半留在藍飯包里。 我們溜達到下午活動營地打起投籃比賽,我好賴總是排第四、第五名。等全部戶外活動結束後,我去了室內游泳池,昨天一起你追我趕的兩位夥伴不想再玩同樣的把戲,而是沿着游泳池游幾個來回,這可到了考驗我體力的時候啦。 二O一一年七月十八日,星期一
親愛的日記: 今天一大早,我們就被告知這個星期很忙,每一位都要像狗一樣玩命工作努力排戲,我們必須快馬加鞭。 正如劇導克里斯太太計劃的那樣,舞蹈被引入劇情。為此,她喋喋不休嘮叨了一個半鐘頭,直到茶點休息時間。今天提供的茶點似乎都是小甜點,難道我們不需要大一點的糕點嗎? 稍後,我們開始排練《阿里王子》,不過接着剛才的地方演下去。我有點犯懵,稀里糊塗地走台。輪到《萍水相逢》一曲,我光坐着唱就成。在《為什麼是我?》一幕,滑稽的是壞蛋賈方和他的同夥鸚鵡依阿戈正蓄謀策劃一起荒誕悲慘的事故,以求達到破壞賈斯敏公主和野小子阿拉丁婚禮的目的,他倆狡黠大笑。 二O一一年七月十九日,星期二
親愛的日記: 今天上午,我們穿好戲裝彩排《阿拉丁》全劇,我被長褲腿絆了好多次。劇導、音導、舞導總是強調要有表情,但沒有人說我什麼,他們甚至都不看我一眼。對不起,今天太陽從西邊出來了不成?我們忙的連茶點休息都給擠掉了,難道就是因為昨天劇導克里斯太太說這個星期我們應該搶時間趕任務嗎? 我們錯過了午飯時間,猜猜看發生了什麼?那兩位我常常提及的玩伴竟早已消失得無影無蹤(當然不是永遠)。 下午我們有智力競賽,我搶答並答對了兩道題,替我們隊贏得了兩分,可這並不足以扭轉落後的局面,我們屈居第四──最後一名。游泳的時候,我主動跟伊森打招呼,他如同陌生人,好象根本不認識我一樣。看來,我得重新結交新朋友。 二O一一年七月廿日,星期三
親愛的日記: 今天早上,劇導、音導、舞導統統對我們說要從頭到尾演一遍《阿拉丁》全劇,但他們只隨便挑了其中幾個部分叫我們演(說話不算話)。直到後來才同意試演全劇,我們高興得精神頭十足,演出一氣獲得成功。 中午我跟另一位猶太男生羅伯特一起就餐,他在劇組扮演甘努什巴巴王子,是我新結識的朋友。我倆在操場轉來轉去,又轉到機房,玩完計算機遊戲後,就一起做課題。我先畫好動物的的肢體,有小雞、烏龜殼、倉鼠,最後但不是最少的還有蟑螂,然後分別塗上粉、藍、綠和黑不同色彩,再把它裝飾到超大號印有“德國城學院”字樣的白汗衫上,等染料幹了之後,我可以作為紀念品帶回家去。 最後一項活動是游泳接力賽,我們隊名列第四,也是老末。其實,我倒情願各游各的。
