"I'm sorry, but I just don't think he'll be able to resist hunting me after he watches this. And I wouldn't want him to miss anything. It was all for him, of course. You're simply a human, who unfortunately was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and indisputably running with the wrong crowd, I might add."
“我很抱歉,但我不認為在他看過這些以后,還能抵御住獵殺我的愿望。而且我也不想讓他錯過任何細節。當然,這一切都是為了他。你不過是個人類,一個很不幸出現在錯誤的時間,錯誤的地點的人類。而且無可辯駁地,和一群錯誤的人待在了一起,我得加上這一句。”
He stepped toward me, smiling. "Before we begin…"
他向我走過來,微笑著。“在我們開始以前……”
I felt a curl of nausea in the pit of my stomach as he spoke. This was something I had not anticipated.
當他說話的時候,我感覺到胃里一陣惡心。這是我完全沒有預料到的情況。
"I would just like to rub it in, just a little bit. The answer was there all along, and I was so afraid Edward would see that and ruin my fun. It happened once, oh, ages ago. The one and only time my prey escaped me.
“我只是想要踩到他痛處,只要一點點。自始至終答案都是這個,我真擔心愛德華看出這一點,然后毀掉我的樂趣。這以前發生過一次,哦,是很多年以前。有一次,也是唯一的一次,我的獵物從我面前逃開了。”
"You see, the vampire who was so stupidly fond of this little victim made the choice that your Edward was too weak to make. When the old one knew I was after his little friend, he stole her from the asylum where he worked I never will understand the obsession some vampires seem to form with you humans and as soon as he freed her he made her safe. She didn't even seem to notice the pain, poor little creature. She'd been stuck in that black hole of a cell for so long. A hundred years earlier and she would have been burned at the stake for her visions. In the nineteen-twenties it was the asylum and the shock treatments. When she opened her eyes, strong with her fresh youth, it was like she'd never seen the sun before. The old vampire made her a strong new vampire, and there was no reason for me to touch her then." He sighed. "I destroyed the old one in vengeance."
“你看,那個愚蠢地喜歡著那個弱小的受害者的吸血鬼做出了你的愛德華因為太軟弱而沒法做出的選擇。當那個老家伙知道我正追捕著他的小朋友時,他把她從他工作的那家收容所里偷了出來我從來都弄不明白這一點,有些吸血鬼似乎就是癡迷于和你們人類為伍他一把她放出來,立刻就讓她安全了。她甚至沒有注意到那種痛苦,可憐的小家伙。她被關在那間黑窟窿般的單人牢房里關太久了。如果是更早的一百年以前她一定會因為她的預知能力而被放到柴堆上燒死。但在十九世紀二十年代僅僅是收容所和休克療法。當她睜開眼睛,因為自己的新生而格外強壯時,她看上去似乎此前從沒見過太陽。那個老吸血鬼把她變成了一個強壯的新生吸血鬼,然后我再也沒有理由靠近她了。”他嘆了口氣。“作為報復,我干掉了那個老家伙。”
