"No, that's the problem. You take everything so coolly — it's unnatural. It makes me wonder what you're really thinking."
“沒有。這才是問題所在。你對待每件事都是那么冷淡——這太不尋常了。這讓我很想知道你究竟在想些什么。”
"I always tell you what I'm really thinking."
“我通常都會告訴你我在想些什么?！?/p>
"You edit," he accused.
“你編輯過了?！彼卦V道。
"Not very much."
“沒改動多少?！?/p>
"Enough to drive me insane."
“足夠讓我發瘋了。”
"You don't want to hear it," I mumbled, almost whispered. As soon as the words were out, I regretted them. The pain in my voice was very faint; I could only hope he hadn't noticed it.
“你不會想要聽到的?！蔽业吐曊f道，幾近耳語。但話一說出口，我就后悔了。我聲音里的痛苦非常地微弱，我只能希望他沒有注意到。
He didn't respond, and I wondered if I had ruined the mood. His face was unreadable as we drove into the school parking lot. Something occurred to me belatedly.
他沒有回答。我想知道我是不是把氣氛給毀了。當我們開進學校停車場的時候，他的表情讓人捉摸不透。我后知后覺地想起來了。
"Where's the rest of your family?" I asked — more than glad to be alone with him, but remembering that his car was usually full.
“你的家人在哪里？”我問道——不僅僅是因為和他獨處而快樂，更多的是因為想起來他的車通常都是滿的。
"They took Rosalie's car." He shrugged as he parked next to a glossy red convertible with the top up. "Ostentatious, isn't it?"
“他們坐羅莎莉的車。”他聳聳肩，把車停到了一輛閃閃發光的，車篷敞開著的火紅色敞篷車旁。“太浮夸了，不是嗎？”
"Um, wow," I breathed. "If she has that, why does she ride with you?"
“呃，哇噢，”我喘息著說?！凹热凰羞@輛車，為什么她還要坐你的車呢？”
"Like I said, it's ostentatious. We try to blend in."
“就像我說的，這樣太浮夸了。我們努力保持低調?！?/p>
"You don't succeed." I laughed and shook my head as we got out of the car. I wasn't late anymore; his lunatic driving had gotten me to school in plenty of time. "So why did Rosalie drive today if it's more conspicuous?"
“你沒成功。”我們一起走出車外時，我大笑著搖了搖頭。我不會遲到了。他瘋狂的駕駛讓我提前了不少時間到學校?！叭绻@樣更引人注目的話，為什么今天羅莎莉還要開車呢？”
《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計則很好地傳達出了每本書內在的深遠寓意。斯蒂芬妮·梅爾指出《暮色》封面上的蘋果代表“創世紀” 內善惡樹上的禁果。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“創世紀”217頁的內容：“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?！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，這比喻了選擇跟愛德華在一起或遠離他。
