Meaning, did anyone try to flush his face down the toilet?

"Am I grounded?" he asked.

他问：“我被关禁闭了？”

"Park," she said, "do you… want to look like girl? Is that what this about? Eleanor dress like boy. You look like girl?"

His mother sat for another minute, then left.

She stared at a jumble of Star Wars action figures piled up on the shelf over his bed. He hadn't touched them for years.

她看着帕克床头架子上面成堆的《星际争霸》人偶。他好多年没碰过了。

A couple of kids had called Park names in the halls, but it didn't hurt like he thought it might. Lots of other people said he looked cool.

有几个孩子在走廊骂他，他没有像想象中那样受伤，很多人说他看起来很酷。

Park told Eleanor not to come over after school. He figured he was grounded. He washed his face as soon as he got home and sent himself to his room.

帕克和埃莉诺说下课后不必来，他想自己大概被关禁闭了。他到家后马上洗脸，回房间。

His mom sat on his bed. She looked like she'd had a long day. You could see her lipliner.

妈妈坐在他床上。她看起来很疲惫，唇线清晰可见。

"It was fine," he said.

他说：“还好。”

"No," he said. "Like myself."

“不，像我自己。”

"I don't know," she said. "Did you have a good day at school?"

她说：“我不知道。你今天在学校还好吗？”

His mom came in to check on him.

妈妈进来看他。
