Breakfast with Charlie was a quiet event.

和查理斯吃早飯時一件安靜的事情

He wished me good luck at school. I thanked him, knowing his hope was wasted.

他希望我在學校能有好運氣。我也知道他，知道他的希望是沒用的。

Good luck tended to avoid me. Charlie left first, off to the police station that was his wife and family.

好運氣總是避免和我在一起。查理斯一走，就去了警局那是他的妻子和家庭。

好運總是躲著我。

After he left, I sat at the old square oak table in one of the three unmatching chairs and examined his small kitchen, with its dark paneled walls, bright yellow cabinets, and white linoleum floor.

他走之后，我坐在一個正方形的老樹桌三個不同的椅子的其中一個，并看著他的小廚房，那有著深色鑲嵌板的墻，淺黃色的柜子和白色油布的樓梯。

我坐進靠著那張老舊的橡木方桌放著的三張不配對的椅子的其中一張，審視著他小小的廚房。灰暗的墻壁嵌板，明黃色的壁櫥，白色的油毯地面。

Nothing was changed. My mother had painted the cabinets eighteen years ago in an attempt to bring some sunshine into the house.

什么都沒變，我的母親十八年前噴漆了這個櫥柜，想要給家里帶來些陽光。

粉刷的

Over the small fire place in the adjoining handker chief-sized family room was a row of pictures.

除了這個小火的地方，相鄰的主臥室有一圈圖片。

除了這個小地方不同，在相鄰的主臥室有一圈圖片。

小小的壁爐上方，緊挨著只有手帕大小的家庭活動室，是一組照片。

First a wedding picture of Charlie and my mom in Las Vegas, then one of the three of us in the hospital after I was born, taken by a helpful nurse, followed by the procession of my school pictures up to last year's.

第一張圖片是查理斯和我媽媽在LV結婚的照片，接著是在我出生之后在醫院三個人的照片，是一位助人的護士幫忙拍的，接下來是我從學校到去年的照片。

是一位好心的護士幫忙拍的。

Those were embarrassing to look at — I would have to see what I could do to get Charlie to put them somewhere else, at least while I was living here.

看起來很尷尬，至少當我在這生活的時候我想要讓查理斯把他們都存放好。

看到這些實在讓人尷尬——我希望我能說服查理把這些照片放到別處去，至少在我住在這里的時候。

It was impossible, being in this house, not to realize that Charlie had never gotten over my mom. It made me uncomfortable.

這是不可能的，對于這件房子來說，沒注意到查理茲從來沒有讓我媽媽回來，這讓我很不舒服。

呆在這所房子里，很難讓人不意識到查理根本從未真正忘掉我母親。這讓我感到不自在。

I didn't want to be too early to school, but I couldn't stay in the house anymore.

我不想這么早去學校，當時我不能再待在這房子里了。

I donned my jacket — which had the feel of a biohazard suit —and headed out into the rain.

我捐了我的夾克，那件我感覺有著生物危害的，然后朝著雨中走去了。

我穿上我的夾克，感覺更像是生化防護服

Donned Coat，穿上外衣
