The Port Angeles scheme was back on again for tonight and made all the more attractive by the fact that Lauren had other obligations. I was anxious to get out of town so I could stop glancing over my shoulder, hoping to see him appearing out of the blue the way he always did. I vowed to myself that I would be in a good mood tonight and not ruin Angela's or Jessica's enjoyment in the dress hunting. Maybe I could do a little clothes shopping as well. I refused to think that I might be shopping alone in Seattle this weekend, no longer interested in the earlier arrangement. Surely he wouldn't cancel without at least telling me.
天使港計(jì)劃今晚將重新啟動，讓一切變得更有吸引力的是勞倫另有貴干的事實(shí)。我迫不及待地想要到鎮(zhèn)外去，這樣我就能停下來不再從肩膀上看過去，希望能看見他像平常一樣出人意料地出現(xiàn)在那里。我向自己發(fā)誓，我今晚要過得非常愉快，而且不能在掃貨的時候讓安吉拉或者杰西卡掃興。也許我也應(yīng)該買點(diǎn)衣服。我拒絕想到這周末我可能得孤零零地在西雅圖購物，對更早些時候的行程安排毫無興致。當(dāng)然，他不會單方面地取消約定的，至少會告訴我一聲。
After school, Jessica followed me home in her old white Mercury so that I could ditch my books and truck. I brushed through my hair quickly when I was inside, feeling a slight lift of excitement as I contemplated getting out of Forks. I left a note for Charlie on the table, explaining again where to find dinner, switched my scruffy wallet from my school bag to a purse I rarely used, and ran out to join Jessica. We went to Angela's house next, and she was waiting for us. My excitement increased exponentially as we actually drove out of the town limits.
放學(xué)后，杰西卡開著她老掉牙的白色水星跟著我回家，這樣我就能把書和車扔在家里。當(dāng)我在屋里的時候，我飛快地刷了幾下頭發(fā)。一想到能逃離福克斯，我就感到一陣輕微的亢奮。我在桌上給查理留了張紙條，再次告訴他在哪里可以找到他的晚飯，然后從我的書包里取出那個破舊的錢夾，把里面的東西都轉(zhuǎn)到一只我很少用的錢包里，然后跑出去找杰西卡。接下來我們?nèi)チ税布遥戎覀儭．?dāng)我們真的開出小鎮(zhèn)的范圍時，我的興奮開始以指數(shù)形式增長。
《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)善惡樹上的禁果。象征貝拉和愛德華之間人類與吸血鬼禁忌的愛戀。在書的開頭引用了“創(chuàng)世紀(jì)”217頁的內(nèi)容：“只是分別善惡樹上的果子，你不可吃，因?yàn)槟愠缘娜兆颖囟ㄋ馈！边@同時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)，這比喻了選擇跟愛德華在一起或遠(yuǎn)離他。
