英语听力 暮光之城·暮色 第370期:第二十四章 僵局(17)

 　　He folded his arms on the side of my bed and rested his chin on his arms. His expression was smooth, the anger reined¹ in. Evidently² he'd decided³ he wasn't angry with me.  他把手臂交叠在我的床边，然后把下巴放在自己的手臂上。他的表情平静下来，他的愤怒遏制住了。很显然他已经决定了不对我发火了。

　　I hoped I'd get a chance to warn Alice before he caught up with her. 我希望我有机会在他抓到爱丽丝以前警告她。

　　"You have saved me," he said quietly. “你确实救了我。”他安静地说着。

　　"I can't always be Lois Lane," I insisted. "I want to be Superman, too." “我不能总当露易丝?莱恩。”我坚持着。“我也想当超人。”

　　"You don't know what you're asking." His voice was soft; he stared intently⁴ at the edge of the pillowcase. “你不知道你自己在要求着什么。”他的声音很温柔，他紧张地盯着枕头套的边缘。

　　"I think I do." “我想我知道。”

　　"Bella, you don't know. I've had almost ninety years to think about this, and I'm still not sure." “贝拉，你不知道。我花了将近九十年的时间去思考这件事，而我还是不能确定。”

　　"Do you wish that Carlisle hadn't saved you?" “你希望卡莱尔没有救你吗？”

　　"No, I don't wish that." He paused before continuing. "But my life was over. I wasn't giving anything up." “不，我不希望那样。”他停顿了片刻，然后继续说道。“但我的生命已经结束了。我不必放弃任何东西。”

　　"You are my life. You're the only thing it would hurt me to lose." I was getting better at this. It was easy to admit how much I needed him. “你就是我的生命。失去你是唯一能伤害我的事。”我能更好地说出这话了。承认我有多么需要他变得容易了。

　　He was very calm, though. Decided. 可是，他非常地冷静。他做出了决定。

　　"I can't do it, Bella. I won't do that to you." “我不能这样做，贝拉。我不能让那样的事发生在你身上。”

　　"Why not?" My throat rasped and the words weren't as loud as I'd meant them to be. "Don't tell me it's too hard!  “为什么不能？”我的喉头沙哑着，我大声地说出了那句话，尽管我本意并不想这样大声说的。“别告诉我这太艰难了！

　　After today, or I guess it was a few days ago… anyway, after that, it should be nothing." 在今天以后，或者我猜那已经是很多天以前的事了……无论如何，在那之后，这就不算什么。”

　　He glared⁵ at me. 他瞪着我。
