I was instantly more alert. He called?
我立刻警覺起來。“他打過電話來？”
No, she said, and watched as my face fell. It was before we left.
“沒有?！彼f著，看著我耷拉下了臉。“他是在我們離開以前說的?！?/div>
?
She took my hand carefully and led me through the door into the living room of the hotel suite. I could hear a low buzz of voices coming from the TV. Jasper sat motionlessly at the desk in the corner, his eyes watching the news with no glimmer of interest.
她小心地牽起我的手，帶著我走出房門，走到酒店套房的起居室里。我聽到電視里傳來的低低的嗡嗡說話聲。賈斯帕一動不動地坐在角落里的桌子旁，他正興趣索然地看著新聞。
I sat on the floor next to the coffee table, where a tray of food waited, and began picking at it without noticing what I was eating.
我坐在靠近咖啡桌的地板上，桌上放著一大盤食物。我開動了，卻完全沒有注意到自己在吃什么。
Alice perched on the arm of the sofa and stared blankly at the TV like Jasper.
愛麗絲坐在沙發(fā)的扶手上，和賈斯帕一樣目光渙散地看著電視。
I ate slowly, watching her, turning now and then to glance quickly at Jasper. It began to dawn on me that they were too still. They never looked away from the screen, though commercials were playing now. I pushed the tray away, my stomach abruptly uneasy. Alice looked down at me.
我一邊慢騰騰地吃著，一邊看著她，時不時飛快地瞥一眼賈斯帕。我漸漸明白過來，他們太僵硬了。他們的目光始終沒有離開屏幕，盡管現(xiàn)在正播放著廣告。我推開盤子，我的胃驟然痙攣起來。愛麗絲低下頭看著我。
What's wrong, Alice? I asked.
“發(fā)生了什么事，愛麗絲？”我問道。
Nothing's wrong. Her eyes were wide, honest… and I didn't trust them.
“什么事也沒有?！彼难劬Ρ牭么蟠蟮?，顯得很誠懇……但我根本不相信。
What do we do now?
“我們現(xiàn)在在做什么？”
We wait for Carlisle to call.
“我們在等卡萊爾打過來?！?/div>
And should he have called by now? I could see that I was near the mark.
“而他這會兒早該打過來了，對嗎？”我看得出來，我已經(jīng)很接近答案了。
Alice's eyes flitted from mine to the phone on top of her leather bag and back.
愛麗絲的眼睛掠過放在她的皮包頂上的手機，然后看回我的眼睛。
What does that mean? My voice quavered, and I fought to control it. That he hasn't called yet?
“這意味著什么？”我的聲音在顫抖，我竭力穩(wěn)住它?！八浆F(xiàn)在還沒打過來？”
It just means that they don't have anything to tell us.
“這僅僅意味著他們沒有什么可告訴我們的?！?/div>
But her voice was too even, and the air was harder to breathe.
可她的聲音太平坦了，我?guī)缀跬覆贿^氣來。
Jasper was suddenly beside Alice, closer to me than usual.
賈斯帕忽然站到了愛麗絲身后，離我比平常更近些。
Bella, he said in a suspiciously soothing voice. You have nothing to worry about. You are completely safe here.
“貝拉，”他用讓人寬心得可疑的語氣說道。“你什么也不用擔(dān)心。你在這里很安全。”
I know that.
“我知道?！?/div>
Then why are you frightened? he asked, confused. He might feel the tenor of my emotions, but he couldn't read the reasons behind them.
“那為什么你會這樣害怕呢？”他困惑地問道。他大概是感覺到了我情緒的波動，但他沒有讀懂這背后的原因。
《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)計則很好地傳達出了每本書內(nèi)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(chuàng)世紀” 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”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離他。
