I looked up into his deep gold eyes, became befuddled, and, as usual, blurted out the truth.[qh]
我抬起頭，看進他深邃的金色雙眸里，立刻被迷住了。然后，像往常一樣，實話脫口而出。[qh]
"I'm trying to figure out what you are."[qh]
“我正在努力思考你到底是什么人。”[qh]
His jaw tightened, but he kept his smile in place with some effort.[qh]
他下巴一緊，但還是努力保持著恰如其分的微笑。[qh]
"Are you having any luck with that?" he asked in an offhand tone.[qh]
“有什么進展嗎？”他唐突地問道。[qh]
"Not too much," I admitted.[qh]
“沒什么進展。”我承認道。[qh]
He chuckled. "What are your theories?"[qh]
他輕笑著：“那你的理論依據是什么？”[qh]
I blushed. I had been vacillating during the last month between Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker.[qh]
我臉紅了。這一個月來我一直在布魯斯·維尼（蝙蝠俠）和彼得·帕克（蜘蛛俠）之間舉棋不定。[qh]
There was no way I was going to own up to that.[qh]
但我實在不敢承認自己的這些念頭。[qh]
"Won't you tell me?" he asked, tilting his head to one side with a shockingly tempting smile.[qh]
“你不想告訴我嗎？”他問道，嘴角掛著一抹太過誘人的微笑，慢慢地把頭側過我這邊來。[qh]
I shook my head. "Too embarrassing."[qh]
我用力搖頭：“太丟人。”[qh]

"That's really frustrating, you know," he complained.[qh]
“你知道，這太讓人沮喪了。”他抱怨著。[qh]
"No," I disagreed quickly, my eyes narrowing,[qh]
“不。”我很快地否認了，眼睛瞇縫起來。[qh]
"I can't imagine why that would be frustrating at all—just because someone refuses to tell you what they're thinking,[qh]
“我完全無法想象這為什么會讓人沮喪——僅僅因為某些人拒絕告訴你他們在想什么[qh]
even if all the while they're making cryptic little remarks specifically designed to keep you up at night wondering what they could possibly mean...[qh]
即便他們一直被某人所說的某些具有特別意味的只言片語困擾著，整夜不睡地揣測著某人可能暗示著……[qh]
now, why would that be frustrating?"[qh]
所以，現在，這為什么會讓人沮喪呢？”[qh]
He grimaced.[qh]
他扮了個鬼臉。[qh]
"Or better," I continued, the pent-up annoyance flowing freely now,[qh]
“或者更有甚者，”我繼續說道，被壓抑已久的怨言現在全都毫無節制地爆發出來了。[qh]
"say that person also did a wide range of bizarre things—from saving your life under impossible circumstances one day to treating you like a pariah the next,[qh]
“這樣說吧，某人做了一大堆異乎尋常的事——從某天在極不可能的情形下救了你的命，到緊接著就把你視如草芥[qh]
and he never explained any of that, either, even after he promised. That, also, would be very non-frustrating."[qh]
而且他還從不對這些行徑作任何解釋，甚至是在他承諾過以后。這些，同樣地，絲毫不讓人覺得沮喪。”[qh]
"You've got a bit of a temper, don't you?"[qh]
“你正在氣頭上，對吧？”[qh]
"I don't like double standards."[qh]
“我不喜歡雙重標準。”[qh]
We stared at each other, unsmiling.[qh]
我們都板著臉，看著對方。[qh]
He glanced over my shoulder, and then, unexpectedly, he snickered.[qh]
他的目光越過了我的肩膀，然后，毫無預兆地，他竊笑起來。[qh]
"What?"[qh]
“干嘛？”[qh]
"Your boyfriend seems to think I'm being unpleasant to you—he's debating whether or not to come break up our fight." He snickered again.[qh]
“你的男朋友似乎認為我在惹你生氣——他正在思考著要不要過來結束我們的爭吵。”他又竊笑起來。[qh]
