"Indeed." Carlisle's voice was still cool.
“確實如此?！笨ㄈR爾的聲音非常冷淡。
"But we'd like to accept your invitation." His eyes flicked toward me and back to Carlisle. "And, of course, we will not harm the human girl. We won't hunt in your range, as I said."
“但我們還是很樂意接受你們的邀請?！彼w快地瞥了我一眼，又看回卡萊爾?！斑€有，當然，我們不會傷害那個人類女孩的。我說過，我們不會在你們的地盤狩獵?！?/p>
James glanced in disbelief and aggravation at Laurent and exchanged another brief look with Victoria, whose eyes still flickered edgily from face to face.
詹姆斯露出難以置信的神情，憤怒地瞪了一眼勞倫，然后又和維多利亞交換了一個簡短的眼神。她的眼睛依然尖銳地審視著每一張臉。
Carlisle measured Laurent's open expression for a moment before he spoke. "We'll show you the way. Jasper, Rosalie, Esme?" he called. They gathered together, blocking me from view as they converged. Alice was instantly at my side, and Emmett fell back slowly, his eyes locked on James as he backed toward us.
卡萊爾衡量著勞倫臉上坦率的神情，半晌才說道：“我們會給你們帶路。賈斯帕，羅莎莉，艾美特？”他喊道。他們幾個立刻聚攏起來，擋住了我的視線。愛麗絲立刻站到了我身旁。艾美特慢慢地往后退過來，他的眼睛始終鎖定著正背向我們離開的詹姆斯的身影。
"Let's go, Bella." Edward's voice was low and bleak.
“我們走，貝拉?！睈鄣氯A的聲音既低沉又陰冷。
This whole time I'd been rooted in place, terrified into absolute immobility. Edward had to grip my elbow and pull sharply to break my trance. Alice and Emmett were close behind us, hiding me. I stumbled alongside Edward, still stunned with fear. I couldn't hear if the main group had left yet. Edward's impatience was almost tangible as we moved at human speed to the forest edge.
整個過程中我都像腳下生了根似的站在那里，嚇得完全無法動彈。愛德華不得不抓住我的胳膊猛地一拉，才讓我的魂魄歸位。愛麗絲和艾美特緊緊地站在我們身旁，掩護著我。我跌跌拌拌跟著愛德華，依然因為恐懼而眩暈著。我聽不見大部隊是否已經離開了。當我們用人類的速度向樹林邊緣走去時，愛德華的不耐煩簡直可以看得見摸得著了。
《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。”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離他。
