He climbed up behind the wheel and took a few rough breaths, then he slammed the sandwich onto the dash. How could she be asleep?

Park wasn't used to driving the truck, and it died a few times at red lights. Then he got on the Interstate heading west instead of east, and it took twenty minutes to turn around again.
帕克不習(xí)慣開(kāi)卡車(chē),等紅燈時(shí)熄火了好幾次。錯(cuò)上了往西的州際公路,而不是往東,花了二十分鐘才掉過(guò)頭來(lái)。
"Stay down," he said.
他說(shuō):“蹲低點(diǎn)?!?/p>
Eleanor didn't say anything. Just stared ahead and held onto her seat belt with both hands. He put his hand on her leg, and it was like she didn't notice it was there.
埃莉諾沒(méi)說(shuō)話(huà),只是呆呆地看著前方,雙手攥著安全帶。帕克把手放在她腿上,她仿佛毫無(wú)感覺(jué)。
Good, he tried to tell himself. She's exhausted.
真的好極了。不過(guò)他又告訴自己:她累壞了。
They got off the Interstate again somewhere in Iowa to get gas and a map. Park went in. He bought Eleanor a Coke and a sandwich, and when he got back to the truck she was slumped against the passenger door, asleep.
他們?cè)趷?ài)荷華州某處下了公路去加油、買(mǎi)地圖。帕克幫埃莉諾買(mǎi)了可樂(lè)和三明治,等他回到車(chē)上時(shí),埃莉諾已經(jīng)癱在座位上睡著了。
She nodded and climbed in.
她點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭,爬進(jìn)車(chē)?yán)铩?/p>
If everything went right tonight, Park would be driving home tomorrow morning by himself. He'd probably be allowed to drive now whenever he wanted, but there was nowhere he wanted to go without Eleanor.
如果今晚一切順利,明天上午帕克就得一個(gè)人開(kāi)車(chē)回家了。以后,只要他愿意,大概都可以開(kāi)車(chē)到處去逛。但是少了埃莉諾,他哪里都不想去。
