評(píng)論

"About vampires." I realized I was whispering. I couldn't look at hisface now. But I saw his knuckles tighten convulsively on the wheel.
“關(guān)于吸血鬼的傳說。”我意識(shí)到自己在低語著。現(xiàn)在我再也不敢看他的臉了。但我看見他抓著方向盤的指關(guān)節(jié)痙攣著繃緊了。
"And you immediately thought of me?" Still calm.
“然后你立刻就想到了我？”依然很平靜。
"No. He… mentioned your family."He was silent, staring at the road.
“不。他……提到了你的家族。”他沉默了，只是注視著路面。
I was worried suddenly, worried about protecting Jacob.
我忽然擔(dān)心起來，擔(dān)心著想要保護(hù)雅克布。
"He just thought it was a silly superstition," I said quickly. "He didn'texpect me to think anything of it." It didn't seem like enough; I had to confess. "It was my fault, I forced him to tell me.""Why?""Lauren said something about you — she was trying to provoke me. And an older boy from the tribe said your family didn't come to the reservation,only it sounded like he meant something different. So I got Jacob alone and I tricked it out of him," I admitted, hanging my head.
“他只是覺得那是一個(gè)愚蠢的迷信。”我飛快地說道。“他沒希望我把其中的任何內(nèi)容當(dāng)真。”這似乎還不太夠。我不得不承認(rèn)道：“都是我的錯(cuò)，是我逼他告訴我的。”“為什么？”“勞倫說了一些關(guān)于你的話——她想要激怒我。然后部落里的一個(gè)年長(zhǎng)的男孩說你的家族不會(huì)來保留區(qū)，只是聽起來他像是在暗示著別的意思。所以我把雅克布單獨(dú)約了出來，哄騙他說了出來。”我垂下頭，承認(rèn)道。
He startled me by laughing. I glared up at him. He was laughing, but hiseyes were fierce, staring ahead.
他大笑起來，把我嚇了一跳。我抬起頭瞪著他。他大笑著，眼神卻顯得很狂暴，他直視著前方。
"Tricked him how?" he asked.
“怎么哄騙他的？”他問道。
"I tried to flirt — it worked better than I thought it would." Disbelief colored my tone as I remembered.
“我試圖向他調(diào)情——但效果比我想象的還要好。”我回想著，語氣里帶了點(diǎn)懷疑的色彩。
"I'd like to have seen that." He chuckled darkly. "And you accused me of dazzling people — poor Jacob Black."I blushed and looked out my window into the night.
“我真想親眼目睹那個(gè)情景。”他陰郁地輕笑著。“你還指責(zé)我把別人迷得神魂顛倒呢——可憐的雅克布·布萊克。”我紅著臉，轉(zhuǎn)頭看著自己這側(cè)窗外的夜空。
《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(yè)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(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)，這比喻了選擇跟愛德華在一起或遠(yuǎn)離他。
