"Why not?" Jessica demanded.
“為什么不出去呢？”杰西卡盤問道。
"No one asked me," I answered honestly.
“沒人邀請我。”我如實答道。
She looked skeptical. "People ask you out here," she reminded me, "and you tell them no." We were in the juniors' section now, scanning the racks for dress-up clothes.
她看上去仍在懷疑。“這里有人邀請你出去，”她提醒我，“可你都對他們說不。”我們正在青春時尚區(qū)，細(xì)看著一排排派對服飾。
"Well, except for Tyler," Angela amended quietly.
“嗯，除了泰勒。”安吉拉默默地更正道。
"Excuse me?" I gasped. "What did you say?"
“不好意思，”我喘著氣說道。“你在說什么？”
"Tyler told everyone he's taking you to prom," Jessica informed me with suspicious eyes.
“泰勒告訴每一個人他將會和你一起去正式舞會。”杰西卡用懷疑的眼神告訴我。
"He said what?" I sounded like I was choking.
“他說什么？”我的聲音聽起來像是要窒息了。
"I told you it wasn't true," Angela murmured to Jessica.
“我告訴過你那不是真的。”安吉拉對杰西卡低聲抱怨道
I was silent, still lost in shock that was quickly turning to irritation. But we had found the dress racks, and now we had work to do.
我沉默著，依然沉浸在打擊之中，然后很快變成了憤怒。但我們已經(jīng)找到衣架了，現(xiàn)在我們有活干了。
"That's why Lauren doesn't like you," Jessica giggled while we pawed through the clothes.
“這就是為什么勞倫不喜歡你。”當(dāng)我們翻揀著衣服的時候，杰西卡咯咯地笑著對我說。
I ground my teeth. "Do you think that if I ran him over with my truck he would stop feeling guilty about the accident? That he might give up on making amends and call it even?"
我把牙咬得咯咯直響。“你覺得，要是我開著我的卡車從他身上碾過去，他會不會不再對對那次事故感到內(nèi)疚？他會不會放棄彌補他的過錯甚至回過頭來要求我補償他？”
"Maybe," Jess snickered. '"If that's why he's doing this."
“也許吧。”杰西竊笑著說。“也許這就是他這樣做的原因。”
The dress selection wasn't large, but both of them found a few things to try on. I sat on a low chair just inside the dressing room, by the three-way mirror, trying to control my fuming.
這里的裙子不算很多，但她們兩個都找到了不少值得試穿的衣服。我坐在更衣室里的一張矮腳凳上，靠著那塊三面鏡，試圖控制自己七竅生煙的憤怒。
《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)計則很好地傳達出了每本書內(nèi)在的深遠寓意。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，因為你吃的日子必定死。”這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，這比喻了選擇跟愛德華在一起或遠離他。
