I struggled to free myself, but Edward merely readjusted me so that I was somewhat more conventionally seated on his lap. I could see it was Alice, then, and Jasper behind her in the doorway. My cheeks burned, but Edward seemed at ease.
我掙扎著想要掙脫出來，但愛德華只是稍微讓我調(diào)整了一下，這樣我就能用比較正常的姿勢坐在他的膝蓋上了。我看見，門口的是愛麗絲，還有緊跟在她身后的賈斯帕。我的臉頰灼熱起來，但愛德華還是一副怡然自得的樣子。
"Go ahead." Edward was still chuckling quietly.
“進(jìn)來吧。”愛德華依然安靜地輕笑著。
Alice seemed to find nothing unusual in our embrace; she walked — almost danced, her movements were so graceful — to the center of the room, where she folded herself sinuously onto the floor. Jasper, however, paused at the door, his expression a trifle shocked. He stared at Edward's face, and I wondered if he was tasting the atmosphere with his unusual sensitivity.
愛麗絲似乎不覺得我們的擁抱有任何不尋常之處。她走了進(jìn)來——幾乎是在翩翩起舞，她的動作是那么的優(yōu)雅——走到了屋子的中間，然后疊起腿蜷坐在地板上。但是，賈斯帕卻停在了門外，他的表情有些許震驚。他注視著愛德華的臉，我想知道他是否透過他不同尋常的敏感感受到了這里的氣氛。
"It sounded like you were having Bella for lunch, and we came to see if you would share," Alice announced.
“聽起來你正要把貝拉當(dāng)成午餐，我們過來看看你是否愿意分一杯羹。”愛麗絲宣布道。
I stiffened for an instant, until I realized Edward was grinning — whether at her comment or my response, I couldn't tell.
我的身體僵硬了一瞬間，之后就看到了愛德華正在壞笑，不知道是對于愛麗絲的問題還是我的反應(yīng)。
"Sorry, I don't believe I have enough to spare," he replied, his arms holding me recklessly close.
“抱歉，我不相信我還有剩余的可供分享。”他回答道，他的胳膊滿不在乎地緊抱著我。
"Actually," Jasper said, smiling despite himself as he walked into the room, "Alice says there's going to be a real storm tonight, and Emmett wants to play ball. Are you game?"
“確實如此。”賈斯帕說著，不再有所顧忌地笑了起來，走進(jìn)房間里。“愛麗絲說今晚將要有一場真正的暴風(fēng)雨，艾美特想去打棒球，你來嗎？”
The words were all common enough, but the context confused me. I gathered that Alice was a bit more reliable than the weatherman, though.
這些話很尋常，但它的邏輯關(guān)系卻讓我困惑起來。但我還是抓住了一點，愛麗絲比天氣預(yù)報員要更可靠些。
《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(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(yuǎn)離他。
