He was going to tell her that she did a good job on her poem.

他本来要说“你诗读得不错”。

Or maybe, "I'm in your English class. That poem you read was cool."

或者，“我跟你在一个英语班。你读的那首诗很酷”。

"Hey. Nice job. In English." That's what Park was going to say.

帕克本来要说“嗨，你表现得真棒，英语课”。

That would be a giant understatement anyway. She was the only person in class who'd read her poem like it wasn't an assignment. She recited it like it was a living thing. Like something she was letting out. You couldn't look away from her as long as she was talking. (Even more than Park's usual not being able to look away from her.) When she was done, a lot of people clapped and Mr Stessman hugged her. Which was totally against the Code of Conduct.

“不错”简直太轻描淡写了。她是班上唯一读诗不像是在应付的人。诗在她嘴里好像有了生命，好像某种发泄。她读诗时，你的眼睛简直无法移开。（帕克本来就没法不看她，这次更不得了。）当她朗诵完，不少人鼓掌，史岱斯曼老师拥抱了她，完全违反了教师行为准则。

Park picked up his comics after taekwando Wednesday night, but he waited until Thursday morning to read them.

星期三晚上完跆拳道课，帕克就拿到漫画了，但他要等到星期四上午再看。

Or, "You're in Mr Stessman's class, right? Yeah, I thought so."

或者，“你也在史岱斯曼老师的班上是吧？对啊，我想也是”。

That stupid Asian kid totally knew that she was reading his comics. He even looked up at Eleanor sometimes before he turned the page, like he was that polite.

那个笨蛋亚洲男孩肯定知道她在偷瞄漫画。有时他要翻页，还会抬头瞄一下埃莉诺，他就客气到这种程度。

He definitely wasn't one of them, the bus demons. He didn't talk to anyone on the bus. (Especially not her.) But he was in with them somehow because, when Eleanor was sitting next to him, they all left her alone. Even Tina. It made Eleanor wish she could sit next to him all day long.

他绝对不是校车魔头那类人。他在车上不跟人交谈（特别是跟她）。但是他似乎又跟他们是一伙的，因为自从埃莉诺坐在他旁边，就连提娜也不来欺负她。埃莉诺真希望能整天都坐在他身边。
