"What?"
“什么？”
"Your hands," he reminded me. I looked down at my palms, at the almost-healed scrapes across the heels of my hands. His eyes missed nothing.
“你的手?！彼嵝盐?。我低下頭看自己的掌心，看見了手腕上那些快愈合了的擦傷。什么都逃不過他的眼睛。
"I fell," I sighed.
“我摔倒了?！蔽覈@了口氣。
"That's what I thought." His lips curved up at the corners. "I suppose, being you, it could have been much worse — and that possibility tormented me the entire time I was away. It was a very long three days. I really got on Emmett's nerves." He smiled ruefully at me.
“這正是我想到的?！彼淖旖菑澚似饋?。“我料想著，就你來說，情況本來可能會更糟——而這正是在我離開的整個(gè)時(shí)間里一直折磨著我的痛苦的根源。這真是非常漫長的。艾美特幾乎被我煩死了?！彼麘K兮兮地向我笑著。
"Three days? Didn't you just get back today?"
“三天？你不是昨天才回來嗎？”
"No, we got back Sunday."
“不，我們星期天就回來了?！?/p>
"Then why weren't any of you in school?" I was frustrated, almost angry as I thought of how much disappointment I had suffered because of his absence.
“那為什么你們都不回學(xué)校呢？”我很沮喪，一想到因?yàn)樗辉谖宜?jīng)受的那么多的失望的折磨，我就憤憤不平。
"Well, you asked if the sun hurt me, and it doesn't. But I can't go out in the sunlight — at least, not where anyone can see."
“嗯，你問過我陽光會不會傷害我，當(dāng)然不會。但我不能走到太陽底下——至少，不能在任何會被別人看見的場合?！?/p>
"Why?"
“為什么？”
"I'll show you sometime," he promised.
“我會找個(gè)時(shí)間向你展示的。”他保證道。
I thought about it for a moment.
我思考了片刻。
"You might have called me," I decided.
“你應(yīng)該打電話給我的?！蔽蚁露Q心說道。
He was puzzled. "But I knew you were safe."
他很困惑。“但我知道你很安全。”
"But I didn't know where you were. I —" I hesitated, dropping my eyes.
“可我不知道你在哪里。我——”我遲疑著，垂下了眼簾。
"What?" His velvety voice was compelling.
“什么？”他天鵝絨般的聲音催促著。
"I didn't like it. Not seeing you. It makes me anxious, too." I blushed to be saying this out loud.
“我不喜歡這樣。見不到你。這也讓我很不安?！边@樣大聲地說出來讓我羞紅了臉。
He was quiet. I glanced up, apprehensive, and saw that his expression was pained.
他很安靜。我惴惴不安地向他瞥了一眼，看見了他痛苦的神情。
"Ah," he groaned quietly. "This is wrong."
“啊，”他低聲呻吟道?！斑@是錯(cuò)誤的?！?/p>
I couldn't understand his response.
我不能理解他的反應(yīng)?！拔艺f了什么？”
《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?。”這同時(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。
