When we came into view, the three on the rocks rose.
當我們出現的時候，巖石上的三個人站起身起來。
Esme started toward us. Emmett followed after a long look at Rosalie's back; Rosalie had risen gracefully and strode off toward the field without a glance in our direction. My stomach quivered uneasily in response.
艾思梅開始向我們這邊走來。艾美特長長地看了一眼羅莎莉的背影，也跟著過來了。羅莎莉優雅地站起來，大步朝場地那邊走去，看也不看我們的方向一眼。我的胃立刻有了反應，不安地痙攣起來。
"Was that you we heard, Edward?" Esme asked as she approached.
“我們聽到的是你嗎，愛德華？”艾思梅一邊說著，一邊走過來。
"It sounded like a bear choking," Emmett clarified.
“聽起來像是一只熊被噎著了。”艾美特進一步解釋道。
I smiled hesitantly at Esme. "That was him."
我遲疑地向艾思梅微笑。“那就是他?！?/p>
"Bella was being unintentionally funny," Edward explained, quickly settling the score.
“貝拉當時無意中顯得很好笑?！睈鄣氯A解釋道，立刻扳回一城。
Alice had left her position and was running, or dancing, toward us. She hurtled to a fluid stop at our feet. "It's time," she announced.
愛麗絲已經離開了她原來在的位置，向我們跑過來，或者說，是舞著過來。她如行云流水般沖過來，停在我們跟前。“時間到?！彼嫉?。
As soon as she spoke, a deep rumble of thunder shook the forest beyond us, and then crashed westward toward town.
她話音剛落，一聲沉悶的隆隆的雷聲在離我們很遠的密林中炸開了，然后向西邊的城鎮劃去。
"Eerie, isn't it?" Emmett said with easy familiarity, winking at me.
“怪可怕的，不是嗎？”艾美特自來熟地說著，沖我眨了眨眼。
"Let's go." Alice reached for Emmett's hand and they darted toward the oversized field; she ran like a gazelle. He was nearly as graceful and just as fast — yet Emmett could never be compared to a gazelle.
“我們走吧。”愛麗絲和艾美特一擊掌，然后他們像箭一樣向那塊超大型的場地投擲過去。她奔跑的樣子像一只瞪羚。艾美特幾乎和她一樣優雅，一樣快——盡管艾美特永遠也不可能被比作一只瞪羚。
"Are you ready for some ball?" Edward asked, his eyes eager, bright.
“你準備好打幾棒了嗎？”愛德華問道，他的眼睛閃閃發亮，很是熱切。
I tried to sound appropriately enthusiastic. "Go team!"
我試圖讓自己聽起來有恰如其分的熱情?！皻w隊！”
He snickered and, after mussing my hair, bounded off after the other two. His run was more aggressive, a cheetah rather than a gazelle, and he quickly overtook them. The grace and power took my breath away.
他竊笑著，弄亂了我的頭發，然后緊跟著另外兩人彈射出去。他的奔跑更具攻擊性，更像一只獵豹而非瞪羚。他飛快地超過了他們。那種優雅和力量讓我屏住了呼吸。
《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。
