有聲讀物《暮光之城·暮色》第330期:第二十一章 電話(7)
I pushed the terror back as well as I could. My decision was made. It did no good to wastetime agonizing over the outcome. I had to think clearly, because Alice and Jasper were waitingfor me, and evading them was absolutely essential, and absolutely impossible.
我盡可能地壓抑住恐懼。我已經(jīng)做出了決定。再浪費(fèi)時(shí)間為那樣的結(jié)局而痛苦就沒有意義了。我得好好想想，因?yàn)閻埯惤z和賈斯帕正等著我，因?yàn)槎汩_他們是完全不可能的，也是完全必要的。
I was suddenly grateful that Jasper was gone. If he had been here to feel my anguish in thelast five minutes, how could I have kept them from being suspicious? I choked back thedread, the anxiety, tried to stifle it. I couldn't afford it now. I didn't know when he wouldreturn.
我忽然感到一陣欣慰，幸好賈斯帕不在。如果他在這里，他一定會(huì)感覺到過去的五分鐘里，我所感受到的痛苦，那我還可能不讓他們產(chǎn)生懷疑嗎?我咽下自己的恐懼和不安，努力壓制住自己的情緒。我現(xiàn)在還沒法做到這一點(diǎn)。我不知道他什么時(shí)候會(huì)回來。
I concentrated on my escape. I had to hope that my familiarity with the airport would turnthe odds in my favor. Somehow, I had to keep Alice away…
我全神貫注地思考著脫身之計(jì)。我只能寄希望于我對(duì)機(jī)場(chǎng)的熟悉能夠增加一點(diǎn)我的勝算。不管怎樣，我得先讓愛麗絲離開……
I knew Alice was in the other room waiting for me, curious. But I had to deal with one morething in private, before Jasper was back.
我知道愛麗絲正在另一個(gè)房間里滿心好奇地等著我。但在賈斯帕回來以前，我得在私下里處理另一件事。
I had to accept that I wouldn't see Edward again, not even one last glimpse of his face to carrywith me to the mirror room. I was going to hurt him, and I couldn't say goodbye. I let thewaves of torture wash over me, have their way for a time. Then I pushed them back, too, andwent to face Alice.
我必須接受這一點(diǎn)：我再也見不到愛德華了。甚至來不及再看他的臉一眼，我就得去那間滿是鏡子的屋子。我會(huì)讓他很受傷的，而且我不能跟他道別。有一陣子，我任由那陣痛楚肆無忌憚地席卷了我。隨后，我同樣把這痛楚推到一旁，去面對(duì)愛麗絲。
The only expression I could manage was a dull, dead look. I saw her alarm and I didn't wait forher to ask. I had just one script and I'd never manage improvisation now.
我千方百計(jì)才控制住的唯一一個(gè)表情是一張呆滯的，死氣沉沉的臉。我看到了她警惕的神情，但我等不及她發(fā)問。我只有一個(gè)劇本，而我還沒嘗試過臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮。
"My mom was worried, she wanted to come home. But it's okay, I convinced her to stayaway." My voice was lifeless.
“我媽媽很擔(dān)心，她想趕回家。但已經(jīng)沒事了，我說服了她，讓她留在那邊。”我的聲音毫無生氣。
"We'll make sure she's fine, Bella, don't worry."
“我們會(huì)確保她沒事的，貝拉，別擔(dān)心。”
