If Edward was a vampire — I could hardly make myself think the words — then what should I do? Involving someone else was definitely out. I couldn't even believe myself; anyone I told would have me committed.
如果愛德華真的是一個(gè)吸血鬼——我很難讓自己去想這個(gè)詞——我該怎么辦？讓別人牽連進(jìn)來顯然是不行的。我甚至不敢相信自己。不管我告訴誰，我都得承擔(dān)相應(yīng)的責(zé)任。
Only two options seemed practical. The first was to take his advice: to be smart, to avoid him as much as possible. To cancel our plans, to go back to ignoring him as far as I was able. To pretend there was an impenetrably thick glass wall between us in the one class where we were forced together. To tell him to leave me alone — and mean it this time.
只有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)似乎比較有可行性。第一個(gè)是聽取他的建議：聰明點(diǎn)，離他遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的。取消我們的計(jì)劃，回到盡可能無視他的狀態(tài)。當(dāng)我們被迫坐在一起上課的時(shí)候，假裝我們之間有一堵無法穿透的，厚厚的玻璃墻。告訴他離自己遠(yuǎn)點(diǎn)——而且這一次要表現(xiàn)出來。
I was gripped in a sudden agony of despair as I considered that alternative. My mind rejected the pain, quickly skipping on to the next option.
當(dāng)我思考著這個(gè)選擇的時(shí)候，我忽然陷入了一種絕望的痛苦之中。我的心抗拒著這種痛苦，迅速跳到下一個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
I could do nothing different. After all, if he was something… sinister, he'd done nothing to hurt me so far. In fact, I would be a dent in Tyler's fender if he hadn't acted so quickly. So quickly, I argued with myself, that it might have been sheer reflexes. But if it was a reflex to save lives, how bad could he be? I retorted. My head spun around in answerless circles.
我什么也不用做。畢竟，就算他是某種……危險(xiǎn)的存在，至今他也沒做什么傷害我的事。事實(shí)上，如果他的動作不是那么快的話，我本來會成為泰勒的擋泥板下的一道凹痕的。這么快，我和自己爭論著，這絕對反映了一些問題。但如果這種反映是用來拯救生命的，他能有多壞？我反駁著。我的腦子徒勞無功地轉(zhuǎn)著。
There was one thing I was sure of, if I was sure of anything. The dark Edward in my dream last night was a reflection only of my fear of the word Jacob had spoken, and not Edward himself. Even so, when I'd screamed out in terror at the werewolf's lunge, it wasn't fear for the wolf that brought the cry of "no" to my lips. It was fear that he would be harmed — even as he called to me with sharp-edged fangs, I feared for him.
如果我能肯定什么事的話，有一件事情我很肯定。昨晚我夢里的那個(gè)黑暗的愛德華只是我對雅克布所說的話而產(chǎn)生的恐懼的表現(xiàn)，并非愛德華本人。雖然如此，當(dāng)我因?yàn)槔侨说倪M(jìn)攻而驚恐地尖叫出聲的時(shí)候，我也不是因?yàn)楹ε吕嵌鴱淖炖锖俺隽恕安弧薄Ｎ抑皇呛ε轮赡軙軅词顾冻鲣h利的尖牙呼喚著我，我也在為他擔(dān)心著。
《暮光之城》
“暮光之城”系列以伊莎貝拉·斯旺和愛德華·卡倫這一對苦命鴛鴦的情感糾葛為主線，融合了吸血鬼傳說、狼人故事、校園生活、恐怖懸念、喜劇冒險(xiǎn)等各種吸引眼球的元素，而凄美動人的愛情則是全書最強(qiáng)烈的情緒。用作者自己的偶像作家奧森·斯考特·卡德的話說：“愛情只是書中的一小部分，但卻是人生的指引者。
