"Well, okay." He seemed to realize that he was out of his depth with the girlie stuff. "It's a school night, though."
“嗯，好吧。”他似乎意識(shí)到他離少女的世界太遠(yuǎn)了。“不過(guò)，這是上學(xué)的晚上。”
"We'll leave right after school, so we can get back early. You'll be okay for dinner, right?"
“我們一放學(xué)就去，這樣我們就可以早點(diǎn)回來(lái)。你要自己解決晚餐，沒(méi)問(wèn)題吧？”
"Bells, I fed myself for seventeen years before you got here," he reminded me.
“貝爾，在你到這兒來(lái)以前，我自力更生了十七年。”他提醒我。
"I don't know how you survived," I muttered, then added more clearly, "I'll leave some things for cold-cut sandwiches in the fridge, okay? Right on top."
“我不知道你是怎么活下來(lái)的。”我嘟囔著，然后更清晰地補(bǔ)充道。“我會(huì)在冰箱里留一點(diǎn)做冷餐三明治的食材，好嗎？就在冰箱上層。”
It was sunny again in the morning. I awakened with renewed hope that I grimly tried to suppress. I dressed for the warmer weather in a deep blue V-neck blouse — something I'd worn in the dead of winter in Phoenix.
這天早上又是晴空萬(wàn)里。我又燃起了新的希望，雖然我冷漠地試圖把這種感覺(jué)給壓下去。因?yàn)樘鞖飧土耍掖┥狭艘患钏{(lán)色V領(lǐng)短打衫——這是我在鳳凰城冬天最冷的時(shí)候才會(huì)穿的衣服。
I had planned my arrival at school so that I barely had time to make it to class. With a sinking heart, I circled the full lot looking for a space, while also searching for the silver Volvo that was clearly not there. I parked in the last row and hurried to English, arriving breathless, but subdued, before the final bell.
我精確地安排著到校時(shí)間，這樣我就能剛好趕上上課了。我心里沉甸甸的，滿停車場(chǎng)兜著圈子找空位，同時(shí)也是在找那輛銀色沃爾沃，但它顯然不在。我把車停到最后一排，然后匆忙地跑去上英語(yǔ)課，上氣不接下氣地趕到了教室，然后在最后一聲鈴響前緩了過(guò)來(lái)。
It was the same as yesterday — I just couldn't keep little sprouts of hope from budding in my mind, only to have them squashed painfully as I searched the lunchroom in vain and sat at my empty Biology table.
今天和昨天完全一樣——只是我沒(méi)能保住心頭萌發(fā)的小小希望之芽。當(dāng)我徒勞地搜索著午餐室，當(dāng)我坐到空蕩蕩的生物實(shí)驗(yàn)桌旁時(shí)，我只能痛苦地把它們扼殺掉。
《暮光之城》與圖書題目相得益彰的是，“暮光之城”系列別具匠心的封面設(shè)計(jì)則很好地傳達(dá)出了每本書內(nèi)在的深遠(yuǎn)寓意。斯蒂芬妮·梅爾指出《暮色》封面上的蘋果代表“創(chuàng)世紀(jì)” 內(nèi)善惡樹(shù)上的禁果。象征貝拉和愛(ài)德華之間人類與吸血鬼禁忌的愛(ài)戀。在書的開(kāi)頭引用了“創(chuàng)世紀(jì)”217頁(yè)的內(nèi)容：“只是分別善惡樹(shù)上的果子，你不可吃，因?yàn)槟愠缘娜兆颖囟ㄋ馈！边@同時(shí)也代表了貝拉如何分辨善惡——選擇是否吃下那顆禁忌的果實(shí)，這比喻了選擇跟愛(ài)德華在一起或遠(yuǎn)離他。
