Well, that was fine. I could leave him alone.

行吧,但愿一切都好。我能让他一个人。

I would leave him alone.

我也会让他一个人的。

I would get through my self-imposed sentence here in purgatory, and then hopefully some school in the Southwest, or possibly Hawaii, would offer me a scholarship.

我会在这里把我给自己判处的有期徒刑服完,并且希望在Southwest的一些学校,或者Hawaii,会给我一份奖学金。

I focused my thoughts on sunny beaches and palm trees as I finished the enchiladas and put them in the oven.

我将我的注意集中在阳光沙滩和棕榈树,同时我完成了我的enchiladas并且将它放进了烤炉。

Charlie seemed suspicious when he came home and smelled the green peppers.

当Charlie回到家并且闻到了青椒的味道看起来有点疑惑。

I couldn't blame him — the closest edible Mexican food was probably in southern California.

我不能怪他——离这里最近的可以吃的墨西哥食物的地方可能在California的南边。

But he was a cop, even if just a small-town cop, so he was brave enough to take the first bite.

但他是个警察,即使是一个小城镇的警察,所以他有足够的勇气尝第一口。

He seemed to like it.

他看起来挺喜欢它。

It was fun to watch as he slowly began trusting me in the kitchen.

挺有趣的是他慢慢开始相信我的厨艺了。
