雙語暢銷書|《這不是告別》第十六章

　　《這不是告別》作為全美媒體和讀者的年度之選，一出版就迅速橫掃《紐約時報》暢銷書榜長達45周，席卷全球三十多國。故事講述了一頭紅發(fā)、穿著肥大男款襯衫的Eleanor，與沉默寡言、沉迷于音樂和漫畫世界的Park之間的故事。

On Sundays, Eleanor could think all day about how close it was to Monday. But Saturdays were ten years long.

星期天，埃莉諾還可以整天想著星期一馬上就到了。但是星期六的一天就像十年。

Saturdays were the worst.

星期六最慘。

She'd already finished her homework. Some creep had written "do i make you wet?" on her geography book, so she spent a really long time covering it up with a black ink pen. She tried to turn it into some kind of flower.

她已經(jīng)寫完了作業(yè)。有個變態(tài)在她的地理課本上寫了“我讓你濕了嗎”，她花了很長時間才用黑色墨水筆蓋住這行字，想把它畫成一朵花。

Later, she'd listen to music. She'd saved the last two batteries Park had given her so that she could listen to her tape player today when she missed him most. She had five tapes from him now -- which meant, if her batteries lasted, she had four hundred and fifty minutes to spend with Park in her head, holding his hand.

接著她聽音樂。她留下了帕克給她的兩節(jié)電池，這樣，今天最想念他的時候就可以聽磁帶?，F(xiàn)在她已經(jīng)有了五盤帕克幫她錄的磁帶。這代表著，如果電池撐得住，她可以握著帕克的手，在腦海里和他相處四百五十分鐘。

Maybe it was stupid, but that's what she did with him, even in her fantasies -- even where anything was possible. As far as Eleanor was concerned, that just showed how wonderful it was to hold Park's hand.

說來可笑，即便在幻想世界里什么事情都可以發(fā)生，她跟他也還只是牽手。對埃莉諾來說，這表明了跟他牽手有多棒。

She watched cartoons with the little kids until golf came on, then played double solitaire with Maisie until they were both bored stupid.

她陪孩子們看動畫片，直到高爾夫球比賽開始，然后跟梅西玩雙紙牌接龍，玩到兩人都覺得無聊為止。
