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.

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

“天哪，鼠鼠，先出右手——右手。好吧。再來一次?！?/p>

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。鼠鼠不是忘記歌詞，就是忘記拍手，或者兩個(gè)一起忘。梅西簡直氣瘋了，不斷地說：“再來一次，再來一次。”

Wednesday night wasn't the worst.

星期三晚上還不算最慘的。

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

寶貝，就在，就在就在云霄飛車旁

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

甜蜜的，甜蜜的，寶貝，我永遠(yuǎn)不會放你走。

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

埃莉諾說：“班恩，過來幫忙，四個(gè)人玩比較簡單?！?/p>

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."

他們邊吃比薩邊看電視劇《天堂之路》，然后埃莉諾和梅西坐在客廳地板上，教鼠鼠玩“唱唱歌拍拍手”。

Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa puff, shimmy…

搖擺，搖擺，可可泡芙，搖擺…

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.)

帕克上跆拳道課，但是埃莉諾還算是擁有帕克，他的回憶遍布她的身體。（包括她覺得不該被碰觸的地方，也包括她覺得安全、可以碰的地方。）

"Mouse!"

“鼠鼠！”
