Richie had to work late that night, so her mom made Totino's Party Pizzas for dinner. They must have been on sale at Food 4 Less, because the freezer was stuffed with them.

星期三晚上，雷奇要工作到很晚，所以妈妈做了托提纳宴客比萨当晚餐。肯定又是“实惠连锁超市”在打折，因为冰箱里已经塞满了这种比萨。

"Oh my God, Mouse. Right hand first -- right first. Okay. Start again…"

“天哪，鼠鼠，先出右手——右手。好吧。再来一次。”

It was hopeless. He could either remember the words or the clapping, but never both at once. It drove Maisie crazy. "Start again," she kept saying.

根本不行。鼠鼠不是忘记歌词，就是忘记拍手，或者两个一起忘。梅西简直气疯了，不断地说：“再来一次，再来一次。”

Wednesday night wasn't the worst.

星期三晚上还不算最惨的。

Down, down, baby, down by the roller coaster.

宝贝，就在，就在就在云霄飞车旁

Sweet, sweet, baby, I'll never let you go.

甜蜜的，甜蜜的，宝贝，我永远不会放你走。

"Come help us, Ben," Eleanor said, "it's easier with four."

埃莉诺说：“班恩，过来帮忙，四个人玩比较简单。”

They watched Highway to Heaven while they ate. Then Eleanor sat with Maisie on the living room floor, and they tried to teach Mouse "Down Down Baby."

他们边吃比萨边看电视剧《天堂之路》，然后埃莉诺和梅西坐在客厅地板上，教鼠鼠玩“唱唱歌拍拍手”。

Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa puff, shimmy…

摇摆，摇摆，可可泡芙，摇摆…

Park had taekwando, but Eleanor still had Park, the memory of him, everywhere. (Everywhere he'd touched her felt untouchable. Everywhere he'd touched her felt safe.)

帕克上跆拳道课，但是埃莉诺还算是拥有帕克，他的回忆遍布她的身体。（包括她觉得不该被碰触的地方，也包括她觉得安全、可以碰的地方。）

"Mouse!"

“鼠鼠！”
