[中文]罗妮缩在汽车的前座上,思考着为什么在这个世界上她的爸爸妈妈会如此讨厌她。
毕竟,这是唯一能解释她需要来到这样一个荒凉而偏僻的南部小山村拜访她的父亲,而不能回到曼哈顿的家和朋友们出去玩的原因了。
不,其实不止这些。她不仅仅只是来拜访她的父亲。拜访只意味着一两个周末,最多也只是一个礼拜。她还希望这仅仅能只是一次拜访呢。但需要待到八月底?整个夏天都呆在这里?这不叫拜访,这叫放逐!在路上的九个小时里,罗妮觉得自己就像一个被押送到一个偏远监狱的犯人一样。她简直无法相信这一切是真的。

[外文]Ronnie slouched in the front seat of the car, wondering why on earth her mom and dad hated her so much.
It was the only thing that could explain why she was here visiting her dad, in this godforsaken southern armpit of a place, instead of spending time with her friends back home in Manhattan.
No, scratch that. She wasn′t just visiting her dad. Visiting implied a weekend or two, maybe even a week. She supposed she could live with a visit. But to stay until late August? Pretty much the entire summer? That was banishment, and for most of the nine hours it had taken them to drive down, she′d felt like a prisoner being transferred to a rural penitentiary. She couldn′t believe her mom was actually going to make her go through with this.
