双语畅销书|《这不是告别》第十六章

　　《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。

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

星期天，埃莉诺还可以整天想着星期一马上就到了。但是星期六的一天就像十年。

Saturdays were the worst.

星期六最惨。

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.

她已经写完了作业。有个变态在她的地理课本上写了“我让你湿了吗”，她花了很长时间才用黑色墨水笔盖住这行字，想把它画成一朵花。

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.

接着她听音乐。她留下了帕克给她的两节电池，这样，今天最想念他的时候就可以听磁带。现在她已经有了五盘帕克帮她录的磁带。这代表着，如果电池撑得住，她可以握着帕克的手，在脑海里和他相处四百五十分钟。

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.

说来可笑，即便在幻想世界里什么事情都可以发生，她跟他也还只是牵手。对埃莉诺来说，这表明了跟他牵手有多棒。

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

她陪孩子们看动画片，直到高尔夫球比赛开始，然后跟梅西玩双纸牌接龙，玩到两人都觉得无聊为止。
