雙語(yǔ)暢銷書|《這不是告別》第五十八章

　　《這不是告別》作為全美媒體和讀者的年度之選，一出版就迅速橫掃《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》暢銷書榜長(zhǎng)達(dá)45周，席卷全球三十多國(guó)。故事講述了一頭紅發(fā)、穿著肥大男款襯衫的Eleanor，與沉默寡言、沉迷于音樂(lè)和漫畫世界的Park之間的故事。

"Mail call," his dad said, almost gently. Park put his hand to his heart.

他用近乎溫柔的口氣說(shuō)：“有你的信。”帕克的手按住胸口。

It was a postcard. "Greetings from the Land of 10,000 Lakes," it said on the front. Park turned it over and recognized her scratchy handwriting. It filled his head with song lyrics.

是明信片。正面是“來(lái)自萬(wàn)湖之鄉(xiāng)的問(wèn)候”，翻過(guò)面，帕克認(rèn)出了埃莉諾的潦草字跡，腦海里頓時(shí)涌出了無(wú)數(shù)歌詞。

Eleanor hadn't written him a letter.

埃莉諾寫給他的不是信。

Eleanor didn't go to prom with him.

埃莉諾沒(méi)跟他一起去畢業(yè)舞會(huì)。

Just three words long.

上面只有三個(gè)字。

Cat from work. She was thin and dark, and her eyes were as blue and flat as breath mints. When Park held Cat's hand, it was like holding hands with a mannequin, and it was such a relief that he kissed her. He fell asleep on prom night in his tuxedo pants and a Fugazi T-shirt.

打工地點(diǎn)的凱特又瘦又黑，藍(lán)眼睛顏色淺淡，像薄荷糖。帕克握著凱特的手時(shí)，感覺(jué)就像在握櫥窗模特，吻她時(shí)，輕松無(wú)壓力。那天晚上，他穿著燕尾服西裝褲和“嗝屁樂(lè)隊(duì)”的T恤就睡著了。

He woke up the next morning when something light fell on his shirt -- he opened his eyes. His dad was standing over him.

第二天早上，有個(gè)東西輕輕飄落在他的胸口，他醒了過(guò)來(lái)，睜開(kāi)眼睛——爸爸站在床前。

Eleanor hadn't written him a letter, it was a postcard.

埃莉諾寫給他的不是信，是明信片。

Cat did.

跟他一起去的是凱特。

He sat up. He smiled. Something heavy and winged took off from his chest.

他坐好，微笑起來(lái)。胸口的沉重受創(chuàng)感就這么飛走了。
