《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。

"What did you do?" Josh asked Park as they cut through the front lawn.

他们穿过前院草坪时，乔许问：“你干了什么好事？”

Park's parents almost never fought, and when they did, it was always about him or Josh.

帕克的爸妈几乎从不吵架，就算吵架也是为了他或者乔许。

His parents had been arguing in their bedroom for more than an hour, and when it was time to leave for Sunday dinner, their mom came out and told the boys to go ahead without them. "Tell Grandma I have headache."

现在他们已经关在卧室里吵了一个多小时，要去爷爷奶奶家吃晚饭时，妈妈出来了，让他和乔许自己去：“你跟奶奶说我头痛。”

Even if they did, Park hadn't done anything with Eleanor that he'd ever been explicitly told not to do. His mom never talked to him about that kind of thing. And his dad hadn't said anything more than "Don't get anybody pregnant" since he told Park about sex in the fifth grade. (He'd told Josh at the same time, which was insulting.)

就算他们知道了，他和埃莉诺也没做他们明确告诫不可以做的事。妈妈从来不讲那方面的事；爸爸在帕克五年级（乔许也在场，那简直是侮辱）时告诉他那码子事，后来就只说过“别搞大人家肚子”这类话。

"Nothing," Park said. "What did you do?"

帕克说：“我什么也没干，你呢？”

"Nothing. It's you. When I went to the bathroom, I heard mom say your name."

“没有，肯定是你。我经过时听到妈妈说你的名字。”

But Park hadn't done anything. Not since the eyeliner -- which he knew wasn't dead, but it seemed in remission. Maybe his parents knew somehow about yesterday…

帕克没做什么啊。眼线风波虽然没有完全过去，至少是暂时赦免了。那之后他没干过什么啊，除非他们不知怎么地知道了昨天的事…

Anyway, they hadn't gone that far. He hadn't touched her anywhere that you couldn't show on television. Even though he'd wanted to.

总之，他们也没进展到那一步，他没摸过埃莉诺任何不适合公开的部位，虽然他很想要。
