2014-03-29 【Aiden in English】 I wasn't so excited when Dad said we were going to a party in Spring, because it was 100% girls. As soon as I got there, the only boy was a 7-month-old baby in addition to 4 girls aged from 6 to 15 years old. All we could do was shuffle cards of Math24, Bowl, and Kemp. After a light dinner, I went back to messing with the cards. Later on, the awesome news came when the hosts mentioned that there was a Wii downstairs. Up until then, the other girl like my age was on Instagram and Snapchat, but she must have the same love for gaming as I did and sprinted with me at her heels in no time.
We sat down and played Super Mario Bros. Time shot forward like a bullet, except when the party pooper came to town. The house owner's daughter wasn't a gamer. She couldn't even get past the 1st level of Mario. Fortunately, it was good enough to take her to the Bowser Jr. Castle before she completely messed up and walked into one of the Dry Bones. But still, it was a ton of fun.
To me, nothing seemed like gaming to spice up a party.
【红霞译文】
当爸爸说要带我参加春宵聚会时,我浑身上下提不起一点情绪,因为应邀前来的年轻一代恰好都是清一色的异性同胞。见面当日果然不出所料,除了四位年龄分别为六~十五岁的女生之外,唯一的客家仁弟七个月前刚刚诞辰。再说,大伙儿凑到一起只有算术24点、赌博扑克牌游戏可供消遣。
简单地吃过晚饭后,我继续重新摸牌。不久喜讯传来,主人告知我们楼下有一台任天堂动感游戏机,此时此刻,一位与我年龄相仿、之前正在全神贯注鼓捣在线图片传真和网络快照视频的女孩想必跟我类似对游戏一往情深,听后顾不上脚踩高跟鞋,以百米冲刺速度撒腿扑向楼下。
我们坐下来一起玩《超级马里奥兄弟》,时光飞逝。期间有人问东道西,不时地打断我们。原来主人家的女儿不善游戏,其玩技甚至连初级水平都达不到,好在我轻车熟路,在她深陷泥潭无法自拔之际及时指点迷津,带领她勇闯鲍泽小城堡,我们极为开心。 在我看来,当今没有什么东西能比游戏更加调剂聚会的品味。
