The next morning, I told my best friend, Mike, what my dad had said.
第二天早上,我就把我爸爸的話告訴了我最好的朋友邁克。
As best I could tell, Mike and I were the only poor kids in this school.
可以說邁克和我是學校里僅有的兩個窮孩子。
Mike was like me in that he was in this school by a twist of fate.
邁克來到這個學校的際遇和我一樣也是因為命運的安排。
Someone had drawn a jog in the line for the school district, and we wound up in school with the rich kids.
仿佛有人在畫一條直線時不小心畫歪了一處,而我和mike的家就是學校這條直線歪的那一處,最后我們就和這些富有人家的孩子一起上學了。
