双语畅销书|《这不是告别》第十四章

　　《这不是告别》作为全美媒体和读者的年度之选，一出版就迅速横扫《纽约时报》畅销书榜长达45周，席卷全球三十多国。故事讲述了一头红发、穿着肥大男款衬衫的Eleanor，与沉默寡言、沉迷于音乐和漫画世界的Park之间的故事。

"I know she doesn't think I'm going to jump over that thing," DeNice said.

狄妮丝说：“我觉得她不认为我跳得过那玩意儿。”

DeNice and the other girl, the big girl, Beebi, talked to Eleanor now in gym. (Because being assaulted with maxi pads is a great way to win friends and influence people.)

现在上体育课时，狄妮丝和那个大号女孩碧比都会跟埃莉诺说话。（因为惨遭卫生巾偷袭有助于你赢得友谊、增强影响力。）

"She has got another thing coming," DeNice said after class, in the locker room. "Do I look like Mary Lou Retton?"

“她最好别这么想，”体育课结束时，狄妮丝在更衣室说，“我哪一点像玛莉·卢·雷顿（38）？”【注：（38）玛莉·卢·雷顿（Mary Lou Retton），十六岁代表美国获得1984年洛杉矶奥运女子体操全能金牌。】

Today in class, their gym teacher, Mrs Burt, had shown them how to swing over a thousand-year-old gymnastics horse. She said that next time everybody had to try.

今天的体育课上，柏特老师示范了如何跳过一个估计有一千岁的鞍马。她说下次每个人都要跳。

Actually, Eleanor thought, DeNice did kind of look like a gymnast. With her little-girl bangs and braids. She looked way too young to be in high school, and her clothes just made it worse. Puffed-sleeve shirts, overalls, matching ponytail balls… She wore her gymsuit baggy, like a romper.

老实说，埃莉诺认为狄妮丝小女孩式的刘海加上辫子，的确像体操选手，她看起来太小，不像高中生，穿着就更是雪上加霜了。她喜欢穿泡泡袖衬衫，搭配背带裤，马尾上绑着相配的珠珠发圈。她的运动服总是松松垮垮，像婴儿穿的连体衣。

Eleanor wasn't scared of the horse, but she didn't want to have to run down the mats with the whole class watching her. She didn't want to run, period. It made her breasts feel like they were going to detach from her body.

埃莉诺不怕跳鞍马，但是也不希望全班看着她在体操垫上奔跑。简单来说，她不想跑，因为跑步会让她的大胸像要飞出去。

Beebi giggled. "Better tell her you didn't eat your Wheaties."

碧比咯咯笑了起来：“最好跟她说你没吃惠氏麦片（39）。”【注：（39）获得奥运金牌后，玛莉·卢·雷顿成为惠氏麦片代言人。】
