　　"You're wrong," I insisted. "I'm going to die." “你错了。”我坚持说道。“我会死的。”

　　"Really, Bella." He was anxious now. "You'll be out of here in a few days. Two week at most." “真的，贝拉。”现在他焦急起来了。“你只需在这里待上几天就能出院了。最多两周。”

　　I glared at him. "I may not die now… but I'm going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer. And I'm going to get old." 我瞪着他。“我也许不会在现在死去……但我终有一日会死去的。每一天，每一分钟，我都在离死亡更近。而且我会变老的。”

　　He frowned as what I was saying sunk in, pressing his long fingers to his temples and closing his eyes. "That's how it's supposed to happen. How it should happen.  他听着我说的话，皱起了眉头，把他长长的手指压在鬓角，然后闭上了眼睛。“这正是应该发生的事情。这是本来应该发生的事情。

　　How it would  have happened if I didn't exist and I shouldn't exist." 如果我没有出现的话，这早该发生了——而我根本不应该出现。”

　　I snorted. He opened his eyes in surprise. "That's stupid. That's like going to someone who's just won the lottery², taking their money, and saying,  我哼了一声。他惊讶地睁开眼睛。“这太愚蠢了。就像是某个人刚刚赢得了一张彩票，把钱都领走了，然后说

　　'Look, let's just go back to how things should be. It's better that way.' And I'm not buying it." ‘看，让我们回到从前，事情应该是那样子的，那样会更好些。’我不会买账的。

　　"I'm hardly a lottery prize," he growled³. “我绝对不是一份彩票大奖。”他咆哮着。

　　"That's right. You're much better." “没错。你要好多了。”

　　He rolled his eyes and set his lips. "Bella, we're not having this discussion anymore. I refuse to damn you to an eternity⁴ of night and that's the end of it." 他翻了翻眼睛，然后启唇说道：“贝拉，我们不会再继续讨论这个话题了。我拒绝诅咒你陷入无尽的黑夜。到此为止。”

　　"If you think that's the end, then you don't know me very well," I warned him. "You're not the only vampire⁵ I know." “如果你认为这事就这样结束了，那你就太不了解我了。”我警告他。“你不是我认识的唯一一个吸血鬼。”

　　His eyes went black again. "Alice wouldn't dare." 他的眼睛又变暗了。“爱丽丝没这个胆量。”

　　And for a moment he looked so frightening that I couldn't help but believe it I couldn't imagine someone brave enough to cross him. 然后有一瞬间，他看上去是那么可怕。我情不自禁地想要相信这一点——我想象不出有人能勇敢与他面对面。
