I felt Emmett stiffen next to me, and I wondered at his reaction to the word. It meant something more to the three of them than it did to me; I wanted to understand, but there was no opening for me to ask.
我感到坐在我身旁的艾美特僵住了，我仔細(xì)忖度著他對這句話的反應(yīng)。這話對他們?nèi)齻€來說意味深長，但對我卻不。我試圖理解這句話，但這里沒有我公開發(fā)問的余地。
"Pull over, Edward." Alice's tone was reasonable, but there was a ring of authority in it I'd never heard before.
“把車開回去，愛德華。”愛麗絲的語氣很通情達(dá)理，但卻帶著一種我之前沒有聽到過的權(quán)威的感覺。
The speedometer inched passed one-twenty.
里程計的指針一點一點地挪回了一百二十英里。
"Do it, Edward."
“快點，愛德華”
"Listen to me, Alice. I saw his mind. Tracking is his passion, his obsession — and he wants her, Alice — her, specifically. He begins the hunt tonight."
“聽我說，愛麗絲。我看見了他腦子里的想法。追獵是他的愛好，他偏執(zhí)于此——而且他想要她，愛麗絲——，就是她。他今晚就會開始狩獵。”
"He doesn't know where —"
“他不知道去哪里——”
He interrupted her. "How long do you think it will take him to cross her scent in town? His plan was already set before the words were out of Laurent's mouth."
他打斷了她的話。“你覺得他在鎮(zhèn)里追尋她的氣味能花多少時間？勞倫的話還沒出口，他腦子里就已經(jīng)形成計劃了。”
I gasped, knowing where my scent would lead. "Charlie! You can't leave him there! You can't leave him!" I thrashed against the harness.
我頓時領(lǐng)悟過來，知道我的味道將把他引向何方。“查理！你不能把他留在那里！你不能留下他。”我竭力要掙脫安全帶。
"She's right," Alice said.
“她是對的。”愛麗絲說道。
The car slowed slightly.
車子稍微減慢了速度。
"Let's just look at our options for a minute," Alice coaxed.
“讓我們花一分鐘時間瀏覽一下我們的可選項。”愛麗絲耐心地哄著。
The car slowed again, more noticeably, and then suddenly we screeched to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. I flew against the harness, and then slammed back into the seat.
車子慢了下來，這回更加明顯，然后忽然一個急剎車，停在了路基上。我在安全帶的保護(hù)下才沒有飛出去，隨即重重地落回座位上。
"There are no options," Edward hissed.
“根本不存在任何選擇。”愛德華嘶聲說道。
"I'm not leaving Charlie!" I yelled.
“我不會離開查理！”我疾呼道。
He ignored me completely.
他完全無視我。
"We have to take her back," Emmett finally spoke.
“我們得把她帶回去。”艾美特最終說話了。
《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(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。
