双语畅销书|《这不是告别》第五十一章

　　《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。

"It might be a while. Don't turn on the light or anything, okay?"

“可能要等一会儿，不要开灯，好吗？”

"Duh."

“好。”

"Okay."

“好。”

Park said he'd come back after his dad got home and his parents were both asleep.

帕克说等他爸爸回家，他和妈妈都睡了后，他会再来。

"And watch for the Impala."

“留意羚羊轿车。”

He looked more serious than she'd seen him since the day he kicked Steve's ass. Or since her first day on the bus, when he'd ordered her to sit down. That was still the only time she'd heard him use the F-word.

除了上学第一天，帕克命令她在校车上坐下那一次，还有他狠狠修理史蒂夫的那一次，埃莉诺还没见过他这么严肃的表情。埃莉诺也只听他说过一次脏话，就是校车上那一次。

Maybe she should feel bad about involving him in all this, but she didn't. He was right, the worst thing that would happen to him (barring some terrible accident) was that he'd be grounded. And being grounded at his house was like winning the Price is Right showcase compared to what would happen if Eleanor got caught.

把帕克卷进来，埃莉诺应该觉得不好过，但是她没有。他说得没错，他最惨的下场不过是被关禁闭而已（除非路上发生车祸）。相比埃莉诺被抓到的下场，帕克在家关禁闭简直就像中了大奖。

Eleanor sat back down at the table. She could see Park's driveway from there, through the lace curtains. She felt tired suddenly. She just wanted to lay her head down. It was already after midnight; it could be hours before Park came back…

埃莉诺坐回小桌，透过蕾丝窗帘可以看到帕克家的车道。她突然觉得极其疲倦，只想趴下来。已经过了午夜，帕克可能还要几个小时才会回来。

And then he was gone.

然后帕克走了。

He leaned into the RV and touched her chin.

他朝拖车探探头，摸摸埃莉诺的下巴。

"Please be careful," she said.

她说：“拜托了，小心点。”
