英语听力 暮光之城·暮色 第353期:第二十三章 天使(6)

 　　Bella? Carlisle called to me. “贝拉？”卡莱尔向我喊道。

　　I tried to answer. Mmmmm? 我试图回答。“嗯？”

　　Is the fire gone? “火焰消失了吗？”

　　Yes, I sighed. Thank you, Edward. “是的。”我叹息着。“谢谢你，爱德华。”

　　I love you, he answered. “我爱你。”他答道。

　　I know, I breathed, so tired. “我知道。”我低声说着，感到那么的疲惫。

　　I heard my favorite sound in the world: Edward's quiet laugh, weak with relief. 我听到了在这世界上我最爱的声音：爱德华安静的笑声，他的声音因为宽慰而有些无力。

　　Bella? Carlisle asked again. “贝拉？”卡莱尔又问道。

　　I frowned; I wanted to sleep. What? 我皱起了眉头。我只想睡觉。“什么？”

　　Where is your mother? “你母亲在哪里？”

　　In Florida, I sighed. He tricked me, Edward. He watched our videos. The outrage¹ in my voice was pitifully frail². “在佛罗里达。”我叹了口气。“他骗了我，爱德华。他看了我们的录像。”我声音里的愤怒微弱得可悲。

　　But that reminded me. 但这提醒了我。

　　Alice. I tried to open my eyes. Alice, the video  he knew you, Alice, he knew where you came from. I meant to speak urgently, but my voice was feeble.  “爱丽丝。”我试图睁开眼睛。“爱丽丝，那段视频他认识你，爱丽丝，他知道你从哪里来。”我刻意说得紧迫些，但我的声音太虚弱了。

　　I smell gasoline, I added, surprised through the haze³ in my brain. “我闻到了汽油的味道。”我补充道，惊讶穿透了我脑海里的薄雾。

　　It's time to move her, Carlisle said. “是时候挪动她了。”卡莱尔说道。

　　No, I want to sleep, I complained. “不，我只想睡觉。”我抱怨道。

　　You can sleep, sweetheart, I'll carry you, Edward soothed⁴ me. “你尽管睡，甜心，我会抱着你的。”爱德华安抚着我。

　　And I was in his arms, cradled against his chest  floating, all the pain gone. 然后，我落入了他的环抱，就好像躺在摇篮里一样，紧贴着他的胸膛我在漂浮着，所有的疼痛都消失了。

　　Sleep now, Bella were the last words I heard. “睡吧，贝拉。”这是我所听到的最后一句话。
