Though I have a feeling I'm called a lot of other things I don't know about. Let's face it, a name like mine is not so easy to live with, you know what I mean?(19, 20p)
*puff out ~을 불룩하게 부풀리다
Something about the way his cheeks puffed out when he smiled made him look like a jack-o'-lantern.(20p)
*exaggerate [ɪɡˈzædʒəreɪt] 과장하다
I was about to say something else, but then all of a sudden I heard other voices outside the office: kids' voices. I'm not exaggerating when IU say this, but my heart literally started beating like I'd just run the longest rce in the world. The laughter I had inside just poured out of me.(20p)
The thing is, when I was little, I never minded meeting new kids because all the kids I met were really little, too. What's cool about really little kids is that they don't say stuff to try to hurt your feelings, even though sometimes they do say stuff that hurts your feeling.(20,21p)
*so to speak 말하자면, 달리 표현하자면
I figure they could take you around the school a bit, show you the lay of the land, so to speak.(21p)
Mom said, trying to get me to look at her.(23p)
*spot 알아채다, 발견하다, 장소
And then I spotted my parents and I was totally fine.(27p)
*out of the corner of one's eye 곁눈질로, 흘끗보고
While she was talking, I noticed Julian staring at me out of the corner of his eye. This is something I see people do a lot with me.(27p)
I wished she wouldn't talk to me like I was a baby in front of other people.(31p)
I could tell she was pretending to check the time on her watch. "Iam sorry, everybody. I lost track of the time."(32p)

시간가는 줄 모르고 책을 읽었던 때도 있었다.
+) It was so fun that we all lost track of the time.
워낙 재미있어서 우리는 모두 시간 가는 줄 몰랐다.
+) I’ve lost track of the time talking with you. 너랑 얘기하다 보니까 시간가는 줄 몰랐어. +) It's easy to lose track of the time here because there are no windows. 이곳에는 창문이 없어서 시간 가는 줄 모르기 십상이다.
*schlep [ʃlép] 고된 일, 마지못해 힘들게 가다
It'll be a lot of a schlep, though.(32p)
*the least
Oh, no, he was the least nice.(33p)
+) the least distance 최단 거리
+) at the (very) least 최소한[적어도] +) to say the least 조금도 과장하지 않고
+) I bought the least! 내가 제일 적게 샀네!
+) It’s the least I can do to help. 그것은 돕기 위해 내가 할 수 있는 최소한이다. +) Really, I’m not in the least tired. 정말이야. 난 하나도 안 피곤해.
