評(píng)論

"They don't like me," I guessed.
“他們不喜歡我。”我猜測(cè)道。
"That's not it," he disagreed, but his eyes were too innocent. "They don't understand why I can't leave you alone."
“不是這樣的。”他否定道，但他的眼神顯得太無(wú)辜了。“他們只是不明白為什么我不能讓你一個(gè)人待著。”
I grimaced. "Neither do I, for that matter."
我扮了個(gè)鬼臉：“同樣，我也不明白。”
Edward shook his head slowly, rolling his eyes toward the ceiling before he met my gaze again. "I told you — you don't see yourself clearly at all. You're not like anyone I've ever known. You fascinate me."
愛德華緩緩地?fù)u了搖頭，沖著天花板翻了翻白眼。然后再次注視著我。“我告訴過(guò)你——你根本沒有清楚地認(rèn)識(shí)你自己。你和我遇過(guò)的任何人都不一樣。你讓我著迷。”
I glared at him, sure he was teasing now.
我瞪著他，確信他現(xiàn)在是在取笑我。
He smiled as he deciphered my expression. "Having the advantages I do," he murmured, touching his forehead discreetly, "I have a better than average grasp of human nature. People are predictable. But you… you never do what I expect. You always take me by surprise."
在讀懂了我的表情后，他笑了。“我所擁有的優(yōu)勢(shì)，”他謹(jǐn)慎地?fù)崃艘幌滤念~頭，喃喃低語(yǔ)道。“讓我能更好地抓住人類的本性。人心是很容易揣度的。可你……你從不按我的期待行事。你總讓我驚奇。”
I looked away, my eyes wandering back to his family, embarrassed and dissatisfied. His words made me feel like a science experiment. I wanted to laugh at myself for expecting anything else.
我看向別處，我的目光又游移到他的家人身上，既窘迫又不滿。他的話讓我覺得這一切像是一個(gè)科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)。我想嘲笑自己，居然還在期待著別的可能性。
"That part is easy enough to explain," he continued. I felt his eyes on my face but I couldn't look at him yet, afraid he might read the chagrin in my eyes. "But there's more… and it's not so easy to put into words —"
“這個(gè)部分很容易解釋，”他繼續(xù)說(shuō)道。我感覺到他的目光落在了我臉上，但我還是不能看著他，生怕他會(huì)看出我眼中的苦惱。“但還有更多……而且這些很難用語(yǔ)言來(lái)表達(dá)——”
I was still staring at the Cullens while he spoke. Suddenly Rosalie, his blond and breathtaking sister, turned to look at me. No, not to look — to glare, with dark, cold eyes. I wanted to look away, but her gaze held me until Edward broke off mid-sentence and made an angry noise under his breath. It was almost a hiss.
他說(shuō)話的時(shí)候，我依然注視著卡倫家的人。突然羅莎莉，他那個(gè)金發(fā)的迷人的姐姐，轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭來(lái)看著我。不，不是看——是怒視，用陰沉的，冰冷的眼神怒視著我。我想要看向別處，但她的凝視讓我動(dòng)彈不得，直到愛德華中斷了說(shuō)到一半的句子，發(fā)出極低的憤怒的聲音。那幾乎是一陣噓聲。
《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。
