 And now? His lips whispered against my jaw¹. “那现在呢？”他的唇贴住我的下颌，耳语着。

Trees, I gasped². Motion sickness. “树，”我喘息着说。“运动症。”

He lifted his face to kiss my eyelids³. Bella, you don't really think I would hit a tree, do you? 他低下头，吻着我的眼睑。“贝拉，你不会真的认为我会撞到树上吧，对吗？”

No, but I might. There was no confidence in my voice. He smelled an easy victory. “不，但我也许会。”我的声音里毫无自信。他嗅到了胜利在望的味道。

He kissed slowly down my cheek, stopping just at the corner of my mouth. 他慢慢地，一路往下吻着我的脸颊，恰好停在了我的嘴角上。

Would I let a tree hurt you? His lips barely brushed against my trembling lower lip. “我会让你撞到树上吗？”他的唇轻轻地刷过我微微颤抖着的下唇。

No, I breathed. I knew there was a second part to my brilliant defense⁴, but I couldn't quite call it back. “不，”我喘息着说。我知道如果我要很好地反击的话，我还得补上一句。但我实在说不出来。

You see, he said, his lips moving against mine. There's nothing to be afraid of, is there? “你看”他说道，他的嘴唇从我的嘴唇上离开了。“没什么好害怕的，不是吗？”

No, I sighed, giving up. “是”我感叹，放弃争论。

Then he took my face in his hands almost roughly, and kissed me in earnest, his unyielding lips moving against mine. 然后，他几近粗暴地捧起我的脸，如痴如醉地吻着我，他坚硬的唇摩挲着我的唇。

There really was no excuse for my behavior. 我实在找不到借口为自己的行为解脱。

Obviously I knew better by now.  显然事到如今我已经比上次更清楚这样做的后果了，

And yet I couldn't seem to stop from reacting exactly as I had the first time.  但我还是情不自禁地像第一次那样做出反应。

Instead of keeping safely motionless, my arms reached up to twine⁵ tightly around his neck,  我没有安全地待在那里一动不动，而是伸出胳膊紧紧地缠住他的脖子，

and I was suddenly welded to his stone figure. I sighed, and my lips parted. 然后忽然贴上了他大理石般的五官。我喘息着，张开了唇。

He staggered back, breaking my grip effortlessly. 他摇摇晃晃地退开，毫不费力地挣脱了我的紧握。

Damn it, Bella! he broke off, gasping⁶. You'll be the death of me, I swear you will. “该死，贝拉！”他挣脱出来，喘着气说道。“我发誓，我迟早会死在你手里的
