小说原文

"I love you, too, Bella. Try to be more careful when you walk, honey, I don't want to lose you."
“我也爱你，贝拉。你走路的时候请更当心点，甜心，我不想失去你。”
Edward's eyes stayed closed, but a wide grin flashed across his face.
爱德华的眼睛依然闭着，但一个大大的咧嘴一笑在他脸上一闪而过。
A nurse came bustling in then to check all my tubes and wires. My mother kissed my forehead, patted my gauze-wrapped hand, and left.
一个护士匆匆忙忙地走进来，检查了我身上所有的软管和电线。我妈妈亲吻了我的前额，轻拍了一下裹着纱布的手，然后离开了。
The nurse was checking the paper readout on my heart monitor.
那个护士正在检查我的心电监护仪所打印出来的纸条。
"Are you feeling anxious, honey? Your heart rate got a little high there."
“你感觉很不安吗，甜心？你的心率在这个点上有点儿高。”
"I'm fine," I assured her.
“我很好。”我向她保证道。
"I'll tell your RN that you're awake. She'll be in to see you in a minute."
“我会告诉你的注册护士你醒了。她会在一分钟之内过来看你的。”
As soon as she closed the door, Edward was at my side.
一等她关上门，爱德华立刻出现在了我床边。
"You stole a car?" I raised my eyebrows.
“你偷了一辆车？”我扬起眉毛。
He smiled, unrepentant. "It was a good car, very fast."
他微笑着，没有半点悔改的意思。“那是辆好车，非常快。”
"How was your nap?" I asked.
“你的小睡怎么样？”我问道。
"Interesting." His eyes narrowed.
“非常有趣。”他眯起眼睛。
"What?"
“什么？”
He looked down while he answered. "I'm surprised. I thought Florida… and your mother… well, I thought that's what you would want."
他垂下头去，答道：“我很惊讶。我以为佛罗里达……还有你妈妈……好吧，我以为那正是你想要的。”
I stared at him uncomprehendingly. "But you'd be stuck inside all day in Florida. You'd only be able to come out at night, just like a real vampire."
我无法理解地盯着他。“可你在佛罗里达得终日困住屋里。你只能在夜里外号粗，就像一个真正的吸血鬼一样。”
He almost smiled, but not quite. And then his face was grave. "I would stay in Forks, Bella. Or somewhere like it," he explained. "Someplace where I couldn't hurt you anymore."
他几乎要微笑起来了，但最终没有笑。然后他的脸黯淡下来。“我会待在福克斯，贝拉。或者某个类似于福克斯的地方。”他解释道。“某个我不会再伤害到你的地方。”

暮光周边

《暮光之城》

与图书题目相得益彰的是，“暮光之城”系列别具匠心的封面设计则很好地传达出了每本书内在的深远寓意。斯蒂芬妮·梅尔指出《暮色》封面上的苹果代表“创世纪” 内善恶树上的禁果。象征贝拉和爱德华之间人类与吸血鬼禁忌的爱恋。在书的开头引用了“创世纪”217页的内容：“只是分别善恶树上的果子，你不可吃，因为你吃的日子必定死。”这同时也代表了贝拉如何分辨善恶——选择是否吃下那颗禁忌的果实，这比喻了选择跟爱德华在一起或远离他。
