The truck driver slammed on the brakes and he turned his truck around. Me and Rowley started running, but those guys were right on our heels.
*slam on the brakes = apply the brakes
브레이크를 밟다
*slam : 쾅 닫다, 탕 하고 닫기; 탕 하는 소리, 세게 놓다

I tried to trick them into leaving, but they wouldn’t budge.

He tried to trick me into buying it.
그는 나를 속여서 그것을 사게 하려고 했다.
After a while, we realized the teenagers were going to wait us out, so we decided we were just gonna have to spend the night at Gramma’s. That’s when we started getting cocky, making monkey noises at the teenagers and whatnot.
*wait out : (좋지 않은 일이) 끝나기를 기다리다
*cocky : 자만심에 찬
Don’t get cocky, keep it going. 자만하지 말고 계속 하세요.
*whatnot : ~인가 뭔가(이름을 모르거나 정확하지 않은 무엇을 가리킬 때 씀)

I called Mom to tell her we were going to crash at Gramma’s for the night. But Mom sounded really mad on the phone.
*crash : 사고, 충돌, 추락하다 **(보통 때 자는 곳이 아닌 곳에서) 잠을 자다
I was so tired I crashed out on the sofa. 나는 너무 피곤해서 소파에서 잠이 들었다.
Can I crash at your place tonight? 오늘밤 니네 집에서 자도돼?
She said it was a school night, and that we had to get home right that instant. So that meant we were gonna have to make a run for it.
*instant : 즉각적인, 순간, 인스턴트의
*make a run for it : 필사적으로[급히] 도망치다
*run for : ~을 부르러 달려가다, ~에 입후보하다 Nobody ever thinks about running for Treasurer.
I knew those guys were hiding somewhere and were just trying to draw us out.
*draw out : 누군가를 유인하거나 감정을 이끌어내다
The movie is drawing large audiences. 그 영화는 많은 관객을 끌어들이고 있다.
The announcement drew loud applause from the audience. 그 발표는 청중들로부터 큰 박수를 끌어내었다.
The coach was just trying to draw out the best performance from the team during the final match. 그 코치는 결승전에서 팀의 최고 성과를 얻어내려고 노력하고 있었습니다.
So we snuck out the back door, hopped over Gramma’s fence, and ran all the way to Snake Road. I figured our chances were better there because there aren’t any streetlights.
*hop : 한 발로 깡충깡충 뛰다, 깡충 뛰기, 깡충깡충 뛰기
*all the way : 내내, 완전히, 온 힘을 다해
Snake Road is scary enough on its own without having a truckload of teenagers hunting you down. Every time we saw a car coming, we dove into the bushes. It must’ve taken us a half hour to go 100 yards.
*on one’s own : 스스로, 알아서
I’m all on my own today. 내가 오늘은 아무도 없이 혼자이다.
*truckload : 트럭 한 대 분량(의 화물)
*hunt somebody down : (특히 처벌하거나 해를 가하기 위해) ~를 끝까지 찾아다니다[추적하다]
*dive into : ~으로 뛰어들다.
But believe it or not, we made it all the way home without getting caught. Neither one of us let our guard down until we got to my driveway.
But right then, there was this awful scream, and we saw a big wave of water coming toward us.
*believe it or not : 믿기 힘들겠지만 (이것은 사실이다)
*guard : 경비 요원, 지키다, 감시하다
*let one’s guard down : 틈을 보이다, 경계태세를 늦추다
*scream : 비명을 지르다, 괴성을 지르다, 비명
*come toward : ~쪽으로 오다
Man, I forgot all about Dad, and we totally paid the price for it.
*pay the price for : ~의 대가를 치르다
But it should realize that it will have to pay the price for its nuclear gambling and other acts. 그러나 북한은 핵 도박과 그 밖의 움직임에 대한 대가를 치러야 한다는 사실을 알아야 한다.
The only things we could salvage were a couple of mints that were wrapped in cellophane, and the toothbrushes Dr. Garrison gave us.
*salvage : 구조, 구조하다, 지키다, 회복하다
What can I do to salvage my reputation? 내가 나의 평판을 회복하기 위해 무엇을 할 수 있단 말인가?
I think next Halloween I’ll just stay home and mooch some Butterfingers from the bowl Mom keeps on top of the refrigerator.
*mooch : 어슬렁거리다, 빈둥거리다, 빌붙다
mooch from : ~에게 얻어먹다
