双语畅销书|《这不是告别》第三十九章

　　《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。

Thursday night after dinner, Park's grandma came over to have her hair set, and his mom disappeared into the garage. His dad was messing with the plumbing under the sink, replacing the garbage disposal. Park was trying to tell Eleanor about a tape he'd bought. Elvis Costello. He couldn't shut up about it.

星期四晚餐过后，帕克的奶奶过来做头发，因此他妈妈去了车库。他爸爸则在水槽下改水管，因为要换厨余处理机。帕克一直在跟埃莉诺说他刚买的埃尔维斯·卡斯特罗（100）的磁带，嘴一直没停。【注：（100）埃尔维斯·卡斯特罗（Elvis Costello），英国著名摇滚歌手。】

"There are a couple songs you might like, ballady stuff. But the rest is really fast."

“里面有几首你可能会喜欢，是抒情歌，其他的都很快。”

"Like punk?" She wrinkled her nose. She could stand a few Dead Milkmen songs, but other than that, she hated Park's punk music. "I feel like they're yelling at me," she'd say when he tried to put punk on her mix tapes. "Stop yelling at me, Glenn Danzig!"

埃莉诺皱皱鼻头：“像朋克音乐吗？”她只能忍耐几首“已逝送奶工”乐队的歌，帕克其他的朋克歌曲她都受不了。有一次，帕克录了一盘朋克合集给她，她说：“我觉得他们在对着我叫骂，不要再叫啦，葛兰·丹吉格（101）。”【注：（101）葛兰·丹吉格（Glenn Danzig），美国乐手。】

"That's Henry Rollins."

“那是亨利·罗林斯（102）啊。”【注：（102）亨利·罗林斯（Henry Rollins），美国硬核朋克乐队黑旗（Black Flag）的队长。】

"They all sound the same when they're yelling at me."

“他们对我大吼大叫，听起来都一样。”

Lately, Park was really into New Wave music. Or post-punk or something. He went through bands like Eleanor went through books.

最近帕克很迷新浪潮、后朋克之类的音乐，他换乐队的速度和埃莉诺看书一样快。

"Or you could just play it for me. Now."

“或者你可以放给我听，现在。”

"No," he said, "Elvis Costello is more musical. Gentler. I'll dub you a copy."

他说：“不会的。埃尔维斯·卡斯特罗音乐性比较强，也比较温和，我录一盘给你吧。”

Park tilted his head. "That would involve going into my room."

帕克歪着头说：“可是那得进我房间呢。”
