So shouldn’t I have been the one apologizing? I tried again.
那，我才应该是要道歉的那个吗？我试图从嘴巴里挤出那三个字。
“I’m so sorry, Seth. I should have been closer.”
“真的非常抱歉，塞思。我本来应该看好她的。”
Edward was still apologizing, and I didn’t think that was either fair or appropriate. After all, Edward hadn’t completely and inexcusably lost control of his temper. Edward hadn’t tried to rip Jacob’s head off — Jacob, who wouldn’t even phase to protect himself — and then accidentally broken Seth’s shoulder and collarbone when he jumped in between. Edward hadn’t almost killed his best friend.
爱德华一直不停的道歉着，但我觉得根本没必要而且还很不公平。不管怎么说，完全失控的那个人并不是爱德华，他也没有想过要去把雅各布的头给拎下来。再说，雅各布一开始就没想过保护自己——反而是Seth跳到我们中间的时候让他意外把自己的肩膀和锁骨都撞断了。几乎杀了自己好兄弟的那个又不是爱德华。
“Don’t worry about it, Bella, I’m totally fine,” Seth said at the same time that Edward said, “Bella, love, no one is judging you. You’re doing so well.”
“别放在心上，贝拉，我一点事都没有。”塞思和爱德华同时说：“贝拉，亲爱的，没有人有权为此责怪你，你已经做得很好了。”
Not that the best friend didn’t have a few things to answer for, but, obviously, nothing Jacob had done could have mitigated my behavior.
并不是说那个好兄弟没有任何责任，但很明显，雅各布的所作所为完全是在火上浇油。
It only made it worse that Edward was having a difficult time keeping the smile off his face. I knew that Jacob didn’t deserve my overreaction, but Edward seemed to find something satisfying in it. Maybe he was just wishing that he had the excuse of being a newborn so that he could do something physical about his irritation with Jacob, too.
看见爱德华使劲憋住自己的笑容时，我觉得更糟糕了。其实我明白Jacob不应该承受我那过激的反应，但爱德华好像非常享受整件事。我恶意的揣测，或许爱德华心里极度希望自己是个新生儿，那样他就有借口狠狠给雅各布来上几拳头。
“Seth, I –“
“塞思，我——”
They hadn’t let me finish a sentence yet.
我一句话都还没说完呢。
I tried to erase the anger from my system entirely, but it was hard, knowing that Jacob was outside with Renesmee right now. Keeping her safe from me, the crazed newborn.
我努力让自己的愤怒平息下来，这有点困难，特别是知道现在雅各布正和蕾妮斯梅在一起，等在屋外远离我这个发狂的新生儿。
“Sorry, sorry!” I mumbled, knowing I’d never get a fully articulated apology out.
“对不起，对不起！”我不停的说，知道自己还欠塞思一个正式的道歉。
Carlisle secured another piece of the brace to Seth’s arm, and Seth winced.
雅各布把Seth的手臂也接上了，但塞思还是痛得整个人都缩了一下。
I buried my face in my hands and shuddered at the thought, at the very real possibility. It could have happened so easily. And werewolves didn’t react to vampire venom the same way humans did, they’d told me only now. It was poison to them.
我把脸深深的埋在手上，浑身颤抖——那很有可能，而且差点就发生了。他们刚刚才告诉我狼人对吸血鬼的毒液的反应跟正常人不一样，对他们来说那是致命的毒药。
Seth seemed to feel no aversion to having me sit beside him on the sofa as Carlisle treated him. “I’ll be back to normal in half an hour,” he continued, still patting my knee as if oblivious to the cold, hard texture of it. “Anyone would have done the same, what with Jake and Ness –” He broke off mid-word and changed the subject quickly. “I mean, at least you didn’t bite me or anything. That would’ve sucked.”
似乎坐在我旁边让另一个吸血鬼卡莱尔治疗他的伤口并没有让塞思倒尽胃口，“我在半个小时之内就会变回原来那样活蹦乱跳的，”他继续说道，手一直拍着我冰冷坚硬的膝盖，“所有母亲都会有这样的反应——听到杰克和内希——”他突然梗住然后飞快的换了个话题：“我是说，至少你没有咬人，那才真是恶心呢。”
“Don’t freak, Bella,” Seth said, patting my knee with his good hand while Edward rubbed my arm from the other side.
“别怪模怪样了，贝拉。”塞思用他没事的那只手轻拍着我的膝盖说，爱德华慢慢的抚摸着我另一边的手臂无声的安慰着我。
Of course, I already knew that Renesmee wasn’t venomous. I was the first person she’d bitten. I didn’t make this observation aloud, as I was feigning memory loss on those recent events.
当然，我一直都知道蕾妮斯梅是没有毒性的，我是她第一个咬的人。不过我没有声张，因为最近自己一直都在装失忆。
“I’m a bad person.”
“我是坏人。”
“Stop that,” I sighed. I didn’t want him taking the blame for this the way he always took everything on himself.
“别说了，”我叹了口气，我不想他再像原来那样把所有的责任都揽到自己身上了。
“Of course you aren’t. I should have –,” Edward started.
“你当然不是，是我的错，我本应该——”爱德华又开始自责了。
My hands dropped. “She does?”
我下巴都要掉下来了：“她真的？”
“Sure. Whenever he and Rose don’t get dinner in her mouth fast enough. Rose thinks it’s pretty hilarious.”
“当然是真的，不管什么时候只要她饿了，而杰克和罗莎没有尽快给她喂食。不过罗莎倒觉得这很让人鼓舞。”
“Well, Seth,” Carlisle said, straightening up and stepping away from us. “I think that’s as much as I can do. Try to not move for, oh, a few hours, I guess.” Carlisle chuckled. “I wish treating humans were this instantaneously gratifying.” He rested his hand for a moment on Seth’s black hair. “Stay still,” he ordered, and then he disappeared upstairs. I heard his office door close, and I wondered if they’d already removed the evidence of my time there.
“那，塞思，”卡莱尔站起身说，“我能做的只有这么多了。这段时间尽量不要动，呃，可能只有几个小时，我猜。”他自我娱乐了一下：“如果给人类治病的时候也能这么快、这么爽就好了。”卡莱尔摸了摸塞思的头加了句：“别乱动。”话还没完人就消失在楼梯上。我可以听见最后一个字从楼上飘来，我想他们可能已经把我在那里痛苦的证明都消灭得一干二净了。
“Lucky thing Ness — Renesmee’s not venomous,” Seth said after a second of awkward silence. “‘Cause she bites Jake all the time.”
“幸运的是，内希——我是说蕾妮斯梅不会分泌毒液，”塞思手足无措的呆了几秒钟然后说：“她总是喜欢咬杰克。”
I stared at him, shocked, and also feeling guilty, because I had to admit that this pleased me a teensy bit in a petulant way.
我惊讶又内疚的盯着他，因为我也觉得有点高兴，虽然明白这并不是件值得骄傲的事。
“I can probably manage sitting still for a while,” Seth agreed after Carlisle was already gone, and then he yawned hugely. Carefully, making sure not to tweak his shoulder, Seth leaned his head against the sofa’s back and closed his eyes. Seconds later, his mouth fell slack.
“我想我还是乖乖的待在这里吧。”塞思打了个大大的呵欠，同意道。尽量不去碰到手臂，小心翼翼的躺在沙发上闭上眼睛。不到一会，就睡着了。
I could hear Jacob and Rosalie outside on the front steps bickering quietly over whose turn it was to feed Renesmee. Their relationship was as antagonistic as ever; the only thing they agreed on now was that I should be kept away from my baby until I was one hundred percent recovered from my temper tantrum. Edward had disputed their verdict, but I’d let it go. I wanted to be sure, too. I was worried, though, that my one hundred percent sure and their one hundred percent sure might be very different things.
我也能听见屋外雅各布和罗莎莉为了谁来喂蕾妮斯梅这种问题无声的争吵。他们之间的关系还是不太好，但唯一有件他事们都同意那就是，在我能百分一百肯定自己从暴躁中冷静下来以前，最好离蕾妮斯梅远一点。爱德华为此和他们吵了一架，但我没有再反对。我也不想有一丝一毫的疏忽，不过我担心，我的百分之百确定和他们的标准可能有点不一样。
Leah was pacing along the river, stopping every now and then to look at the house. It was easy to tell when she was looking for her brother and when she was looking for me. She alternated between anxious glances and murderous glares.
利亚在河边踱来踱去，每走两步就停下来看看屋子这边。要区别她什么时候在找她的兄弟、什么时候在找我很简单，因为她的眼神就在担心和凶狠之间飞速切换。
Edward followed me to the back windows and took my hand.
爱德华跟着我来到房子后面的窗前，轻轻的拉起我的手。
I frowned at his peaceful face for another minute. Like Jacob, Seth seemed to have the gift of falling asleep at will. Knowing I wouldn’t be able to apologize again for a while, I got up; the motion didn’t jostle the couch in the slightest. Everything physical was so easy. But the rest…
我皱着眉头看着他宁静的脸，跟雅各布一样，塞思似乎也拥有那种想睡就能睡着的天赋。知道自己不可能很快开口道歉，干脆走上楼，途中一点响声都没发出。只要是运动上的事都很简单，但剩下的……
Binding, because the most absolute of all the pack’s laws was that no wolf ever kill the object of another wolf’s imprinting. The pain of such a thing would be intolerable for the whole pack. The fault, whether intended or accidental, could not be forgiven; the wolves involved would fight to the death — there was no other option. It had happened long ago, Seth told me, but only accidentally. No wolf would ever intentionally destroy a brother that way.
关系紧密，是因为在狼群中最重要的一条原则就是绝对禁止狼人杀害其他同伴的烙印之人。失去这个人的悲痛会让整个狼群都痛苦不堪。这罪过，无论是无心之失还是有意之为，都不可原谅。所有被牵连的狼人都会战斗至死——没有其他解决的途径了。很久以前曾发生过这样的事，Seth告诉我，但那也只是一次意外，没有一个狼人会用这样的方式去毁灭自己的兄弟。
Other than their squabbling, Seth’s slow breathing, and Leah’s annoyed panting, it was very quiet. Emmett, Alice, and Esme were hunting. Jasper had stayed behind to watch me. He stood unobtrusively behind the newel post now, trying not to be obnoxious about it.
除了他俩的争吵声、Seth缓慢的呼吸声和Leah烦躁的喘气声外，这里非常安静。埃美特、爱丽丝和埃斯梅出去打猎去了，贾斯帕还是跟在后面照看我。他很没有存在感的站在门柱后面，不想做一个讨人厌的电灯泡。
I took advantage of the calm to think of all the things Edward and Seth had told me while Carlisle splinted Seth’s arm. I’d missed a whole lot while I was burning, and this was the first real chance to catch up.
我利用这刻的宁静思考着刚才爱德华和Seth趁卡莱尔治疗的期间告诉我的事。当我转变的时候错过了很多事，现在是让一切重新来过的唯一的最好机会。
The main thing was the end of the feud with Sam’s pack — which was why the others felt safe to come and go as they pleased again. The truce was stronger than ever. Or more binding, depending on your viewpoint, I imagined.
最重要的就是如何结束和Sam山姆的狼群之间的百年世仇——这也是为什么现在他们觉得自由的出入这里非常安全，休战协定前所未有的稳定。或者说我们的关系前所未有的紧密，随便你怎么想。
I deliberately redirected my thoughts in order to control my emotions. I considered another interesting phenomenon; though the silence between the separate packs continued, Jacob and Sam had discovered that Alphas could speak to each other while in their wolf form. It wasn’t the same as before; they couldn’t hear every thought the way they had prior to the split. It was more like speaking aloud, Seth had said. Sam could only hear the thoughts Jacob wanted to share, and vice versa. They found they could communicate over distance, too, now that they were talking to each other again.
为了控制自己的情绪，我还是慎重的改变了话题，转而想着另一个有趣的事，那就是首领们可以单对单的谈话当他们以狼人的形态存在的时候。这不是像原来无法控制的听见对方所有的想法那样，而是更像大声说话，塞思这么说。山姆只能听见雅各布想让他知道的事，与之相反，他们还能远距离交流，现在，他们重新和好了。
So Renesmee was untouchable because of the way Jacob now felt about her. I tried to concentrate on the relief of this fact rather than the chagrin, but it wasn’t easy. My mind had enough room to feel both emotions intensely at the same time.
所以现在蕾妮斯梅是不可杀之人了，因为雅各布对她的感觉。我让自己把注意力集中到除了懊恼之外的事上，虽然很困难——我现在的脑袋能毫不费力的同时思考这两件事。
And Sam couldn’t get mad about my transformation, either, because Jacob — speaking as the rightful Alpha — had allowed it. It rankled to realize over and over again how much I owed Jacob when I just wanted to be mad at him.
而且山姆也不能因我的转变而攻击，因为雅各布——作为正统的首领——已经同意了这件事。这让我不能自已的一遍又一遍的责怪自己：我欠他的如此之多居然还攻击他。
Charlie.
无查理。
Once Sam had understood how absolutely everything had changed, he’d come back with Jacob to talk to Carlisle. They’d spoken in human form (Edward had refused to leave my side to translate), and the treaty had been renewed. The friendly feeling of the relationship, however, might never be the same.
当山姆终于明白一切既成事实后，他在雅各布的陪同下来到这里和卡莱尔谈判。他们以人类的方式交谈着，重新拟定了停战协议（爱德华拒绝离开我身边去翻译他们的思想）。但两族间的友好气氛，不管如何，跟原来已经大为不同了。
They hadn’t found all this out until Jacob had gone alone — over Seth’s and Leah’s objections — to explain to Sam about Renesmee; it was the only time he’d left Renesmee since first laying eyes on her.
本来他们也没有发现这么多不同，直到雅各布独自离开——不顾塞思和利亚的反对——去向山姆解释蕾妮斯梅的事，这也是他唯一一次离开蕾妮斯梅，自从他第一次见到她。
He’d spoken to Esme earlier this morning, but that hadn’t kept him from calling again, twice, just a few minutes ago while Carlisle treated Seth. Carlisle and Edward had let the phone ring.
他较早之前的早上跟埃斯梅打了个电话，但这没能阻止他再次打来，两次。就在几分钟前，当卡莱尔给Seth治疗的时候，不过他和爱德华都没有接电话。
One big worry down.
我放下了一半的心。
What would be the right thing to tell him? Were the Cullens right? Was telling him that I’d died the best, the kindest way? Would I be able to lie still in a coffin while he and my mother cried over me?
什么才是应该告诉他的呢？还是说卡伦家的人才是正确的？告诉他我已经死了，才是最仁慈的做法？当他和妈妈在我灵柩前痛哭的时候，我还能安然平躺吗？
But there was another that, though not as physically dangerous as an angry wolf pack, still seemed more urgent to me.
但另一半还吊着，虽然不像愤怒的狼人那样危险，但对我来说却更紧迫。
My eyes, in particular, were much too frightening right now. How long before my self — control and my eye color were ready for Charlie?
特别是我的眼睛，现在这种状况还是太吓人了。等我能完全控制自己而且眼睛的颜色也变淡之后，不知道要多久？
It didn’t seem right to me. But putting Charlie or Renee in danger of the Volturi’s obsession with secrecy was clearly out of the question.
这不是我的做法。但破坏沃尔图里家族的规定泄露吸血鬼的秘密，让查理和勒妮处于危险之中是绝对不在讨论范围以内的。
There was still my idea — let Charlie see me, when I was ready for that, and let him make his own wrong assumptions. Technically, the vampire rules would remain unbroken. Wouldn’t it be better for Charlie if he knew that I was alive — sort of — and happy? Even if I was strange and different and probably frightening to him?
我还是想——让查理见见我，当我真的准备好的后，让他保持他自己的猜想，随便什么都行。理论上，不会违背吸血鬼的规矩。难道让查理知道我还活着——某种意义上——而且幸福，不好吗？即便我现在对他来说完全不同了，很可能吓到他？
“No one is angry with you” — a low snarl from the riverside contradicted him, but he ignored it — “or even surprised, really. Well, I suppose we are surprised. Surprised that you were able to snap out of it so quickly. You did well. Better than anyone expects of you.”
“没有人生你的气，”——显然河边的怒吼马上否定了这句话，不过他没在意——“甚至让人惊奇，真的，我敢说我们真的很惊讶，不敢相信你能这么快的超越这些。你做的非常棒，超出我们所有人的想象。”
“What’s the matter, Bella?” Jasper asked quietly, reading my growing tension.
“怎么了，贝拉？”贾斯帕小声的问，感觉到了我的不安。
While he was speaking, the room became very calm. Seth’s breathing slipped into a low snore. I felt more peaceful, but I didn’t forget my anxieties.
当他说话的时候，房子变得特别安静，塞思的呼吸声都变成了小声的呼噜。不过即使房间再安宁，我还是无法忘记自己的忧虑。
You said we belonged in each other’s lives, right? That we were family. You said that was how you and I were supposed to be. So… now we are. It’s what you wanted.
你说，我们的生命彼此属于对方，对吗？我们是一家人。你说，那是我们应该相处的方式。所以……现在我们终于是了，这不是你想要的吗？
But it didn’t feel like how I’d wanted it. Not exactly. I remembered further back, to the fuzzy, weak memories of my human life. Back to the very hardest part to remember — the time without Edward, a time so dark I’d tried to bury it in my head. I couldn’t get the words exactly right; I only remembered wishing that Jacob were my brother so that we could love each other without any confusion or pain. Family. But I’d never factored a daughter into the equation.
不过我不太想要了现在，不想。我回忆着更久以前，那模糊的虚弱的人类时的生活。想起最让我痛苦的记忆——没有爱德华的日子，一段黑暗到想把它掩埋在我脑海深处的回忆。我只记得我那时多希望雅各布是我的兄弟，那样我们就可以安然爱着对方而不会觉得困惑和痛苦。家人，但我从来没想过让我女儿代替我完成这个愿望。
I brooded for a moment. “I’m going to miss him so much. I’ll miss everyone here.”
我低头沉思了一会儿：“我一定会很想他的，我会想念这里的所有人。”
“We really have to leave, don’t we?” I asked. “For a while, at the very least. Pretend we’re in Atlanta or something.”
“我们真的要走了，不是吗？”我问：“至少，让我们假装搬到亚特兰大去了或其他什么地方也行。”
I thought about what Jacob had said, pleading with me before I’d attacked him.
我回忆着雅各布说过的话，在我攻击他之前辩护的话。
“Yes. It’s the only way to protect your father.”
“是的，这是保护你父亲的唯一方法。”
Out front, the bickering cut off.
外面，争吵停下来了。
Jacob, I thought, despite myself. Though that yearning was both vanished and defined — and I was vastly relieved that it was — he was still my friend. Someone who knew the real me and accepted her. Even as a monster.
特别是，雅各布，尽管想到这我的忧伤消失了——这还是很大的安慰——他仍旧是我的朋友。一个真正了解我，接受我的人，即使她变成了一个怪物。
“Ah,” Jasper murmured.
“啊，”贾斯帕轻呼了一句。
I could feel Edward’s gaze locked on my face, but I looked at Jasper. He was the one who answered me in a grave tone.
我能感觉得到爱德华凝视着我，但我还是看着贾斯帕，只有他从不敷衍隐瞒我。
“I was thinking about Charlie, actually.”
“其实，我在想查理。”
I snorted, and Edward raised one eyebrow questioningly. I just shook my head at him.
我鼻子里发出嗤的一声，爱德华马上抬了抬眉毛询问的看着我，我只是对他摇摇头。
I remembered a little later — one of the many times that I’d told Jacob goodbye — wondering aloud who he would end up with, who would make his life right after what I’d done to it. I had said something about how whoever she was, she wouldn’t be good enough for him.
接着我又想起来在那之后——多少次我跟雅各布说再见——心里暗自猜测他最后会和谁在一起，谁会让他变得幸福，在我对他所有的伤害之后。我也曾说过，无论那女孩是谁，她都不会配得上他。
But as much as I might miss my friend, I knew there was a bigger problem. Had Sam or Jared or Quil ever gone a whole day without seeing the objects of their fixations, Emily, Kim, and Claire? Could they? What would the separation from Renesmee do to Jacob? Would it cause him pain?
但无论我怎样忽略我的朋友，我知道还有一个大问题。山姆，贾里德或者奎尔有试过和命定之人分开吗，和艾米丽，基姆或者克莱尔？他们做的到吗？和蕾妮斯梅分离对雅各布来说意味着什么？会是巨大的痛苦吗？
There was still enough petty ire in my system to make me glad, not for his pain, but for the idea of having Renesmee away from him. How was I supposed to deal with having her belong to Jacob when she only barely seemed to belong to me?
我脑子里残留的忿忿不平让我有点病态的开心，不是因为他的痛苦，而是想到可以让蕾妮斯梅远离他。要知道，当我才发现她有那么点属于我了的时候，怎么可能忍受的了让她属于雅各布？
The sound of movement on the front porch interrupted my thoughts. I heard them get up, and then they were through the door. At exactly the same time, Carlisle came down the stairs with his hands full of odd things — a measuring tape, a scale. Jasper darted to my side. As if there was some signal I’d missed, even Leah sat down outside and stared through the window with an expression like she was expecting something that was both familiar and also totally uninteresting.
门廊那边传来的脚步声暂时打断了我的思绪，我听见他们都站起来了，走进大门。与此同时，卡莱尔拿着一堆鬼怪的东西从楼上下来——一条软尺和一架天平。好像我真的错过了很多东西啊，就连利亚都坐在窗外朝房里望着，感觉接下来要发生的事会是非常熟悉和无趣的了。
She looked perfect, absolutely healthy. Her skin glowed like backlit alabaster; the color in her cheeks was rose petals against it. There couldn’t be anything wrong with such radiant beauty. Surely there could be nothing more dangerous in her life than her mother. Could there?
她看上去非常完美，绝对健康，肌肤像反射着阳光的大理石一样耀耀生辉，脸蛋像被玫瑰花瓣染了色似的。这光芒四射的美丽没有一丝瑕疵，当然，在她的生命里应该也没有比自己的母亲更大的危险了，应该不会吧？
“Four times? Every day? Why?”
“四次？每天？为什么？”
“Time to measure Ness — er, Renesmee,” Carlisle explained.
“到时间给内希——呃，蕾妮斯梅量身体了。”卡莱尔解释。
“Four times a day,” Carlisle corrected absently as he motioned the others toward the couch. I thought I saw Renesmee sigh.
“一天四次。”Carlisle心不在焉的纠正道，朝沙发那边挥了下手，我好像看见蕾妮斯梅叹了口气。
“Oh. You do this every day?”
“哦，你们每天都做吗？”
“She’s still growing quickly,” Edward murmured to me, his voice quiet and strained. He squeezed my hand, and his other arm wrapped securely around my waist, almost as if he needed the support.
“她还是长的非常快，”爱德华在我耳边紧张的解释着，一只手紧紧的握着我的手，另一只手偷偷的搂着我，像是需要我的支持一样。
The difference between the child I’d given birth to and the one I’d met again an hour ago would have been obvious to anyone. The difference between Renesmee an hour ago and Renesmee now was subtler. Human eyes never would have detected it. But it was there.
刚出生时的蕾妮斯梅和一个小时前我见到的她，区别非常明显。但一个小时以前和现在的区别就有点微妙了，人类的眼睛是绝对看不出来区别的，但我们可以。
“So?” I asked, my eyes locked on Rosalie, Jacob, and Renesmee. They stood in the doorway, Renesmee in Rosalie’s arms. Rose looked wary. Jacob looked troubled.
“嗯？”我盯着罗莎莉、雅各布和蕾妮斯梅问，他们站在门口，罗莎莉抱着蕾妮斯梅似乎有点警惕，而雅各布则是彻底的烦恼着。
I couldn’t take my eyes off Renesmee to check his expression.
我无法把眼睛从蕾妮斯梅身上挪开，也就无法仔细观察他的神情了。
Renesmee looked beautiful and impatient.
蕾妮斯梅还是那么可爱，不过还是有点不耐烦。
“Must be six,” Edward said.
“一定有六了。”爱德华说。
My vampire mind had no trouble with the math.
对这简单的计算我吸血鬼的脑袋完全没问题。
Her body was slightly longer. Just a little bit slimmer. Her face wasn’t quite as round; it was more oval by one minute degree. Her ringlets hung a sixteenth of an inch lower down her shoulders. She stretched out helpfully in Rosalie’s arms while Carlisle ran the tape measure down the length of her and then used it to circle her head. He took no notes; perfect recall.
她的身体略微长长了一点，变得稍微苗条了一些；脸没那么圆了，起码变椭了一分度；小卷发在肩膀处又长了16分之一英寸。当卡莱尔拿着软尺量身时，她在罗莎莉的怀里配合的伸直身体，接着他量了她的头围。一个字都没记，什么叫完美记忆。
I was aware that Jacob’s arms were crossed as tightly over his chest as Edward’s arms were locked around me. His heavy brows were mashed together into one line over his deep-set eyes.
我注意到爱德华的手臂抱我抱得有多用力，雅各布的手就有多用力的绕在胸前，沉重的眉毛在他深邃的眼睛上方纠结成一条直线。
“What do we do?” I whispered, horrified.
“我们要做什么？”我惊恐的问道。
“We’ll need several more days of measurements to track the trend, Jacob. I can’t make any promises.”
“我们还需要几天的测量来确定她的生长曲线，雅各布，现在我不能下任何结论。”
She had matured from a single cell to a normal-sized baby in the course of a few weeks. She looked well on her way to being a toddler just days after her birth. If this rate of growth held…
作为刚出生没几天的宝宝，她看上去却像一个正在学走路的孩子。如果这种生长速度继续下去……
Edward’s arms tightened. He understood exactly what I was asking. “I don’t know.”
爱德华的手臂绷得更紧了，他完全理解我要问什么：“我也不知道。”
“It’s slowing,” Jacob muttered through his teeth.
“它在减慢。”雅各布艰难的说。
“I’m in control,” I promised. Thirstiness was way down the list right now. Besides, Renesmee smelled good in a very non-food way.
“我很冷静，”我保证道，干渴远远不是我担心的问题。再说，蕾妮斯梅闻起来非常舒服，一点都不是那种食物的味道。
“Bella, of course,” Rosalie told him, and her words made my insides feel a little warmer. Then she looked at me. “How are you?”
“贝拉，毫无疑问，”罗莎莉告诉他，她的话让我的心温暖起来，然后看着我：“你感觉如何？”
I felt irritated again, like Jacob was stealing my lines — and delivering them all wrong.
我觉得被冒犯了，就像雅各布偷了本来是我应该问的问题——还错误又粗鲁的发问。
“You know I’ll do my best,” Carlisle assured him.
“你知道我尽力了。”卡莱尔安慰说。
“Yesterday she grew two inches. Today it’s less.”
“昨天她长了两英寸，今天要少一些。”
“Be perfect, Doc,” Jacob said, making the words almost threatening. Rosalie stiffened.
“那就不要出错，医生。”雅各布几乎是威胁的说，罗莎莉在旁边变得僵硬起来。
Jacob sighed. “Guess that’s all I can ask.”
雅各布长叹了口气：“我猜那是我唯一能问的了。”
“By a thirty-second of an inch, if my measurements are perfect,” Carlisle said quietly.
“只少了32分之一英寸，如果我的测量是完美的话。”卡莱尔担忧的加了一句。
“What does she want?” Jacob demanded, taking my line again.
“她想要什么？”雅各布发问，又抢了我的台词。
“Worried,” I admitted, and Edward squeezed me.
“担心，”我承认道，爱德华搂得更紧了。
“We all are. But that’s not what I meant.”
“我们都是，但我要问的不是这个。”
Renesmee seemed irritated, too. She started to squirm and then reached her hand imperiously toward Rosalie. Rosalie leaned forward so that Renesmee could touch her face. After a second, Rose sighed.
Renesmee似乎跟我有同样的感觉，她蠕动着身体野蛮的把手伸向罗莎莉，罗莎莉俯下身好让她能碰到自己的脸。一会儿后，罗莎叹了口气。
Renesmee reached for me as I reached for her, a blinding smile lighting her face. She fit so easily in my arms, like they’d been shaped just for her. Immediately, she put her hot little hand against my cheek.
蕾妮斯梅和我的手碰到了一起，灿烂的笑容在她脸上绽放。在我的怀里她是那么自然放松，就像那地方是为她而生的。接着，她马上把小手放到我脸上。
Jacob bit his lip but made no move to stop Rosalie as she offered Renesmee to me. Jasper and Edward hovered but allowed it. I could see how tense Rose was, and I wondered how the room felt to Jasper right now. Or was he focusing so hard on me that he couldn’t feel the others?
雅各布咬着嘴唇但没有阻止罗莎莉把蕾妮斯梅递给我。贾斯帕和爱德华有点担心但还是默许了。我能看出来罗莎有多紧张，不知道现在贾斯帕觉得房间里是什么气氛呢。不过可能他太注意我了以至于根本顾不上其他人。
Though I was prepared, it still made me gasp to see the memory like a vision in my head. So bright and colorful but also completely transparent.
尽管我有心理准备了，但看见一幅如此明亮、多彩而又清晰的记忆画卷还是让我不由得大声喘气。
She was remembering me charging Jacob across the front lawn, remembering Seth leaping between us. She’d seen and heard it all with perfect clarity. It didn’t look like me, this graceful predator leaping at her prey like an arrow arcing from a bow. It had to be someone else. That made me feel a very small bit less guilty as Jacob stood there defenselessly with his hands raised in front of him. His hands did not tremble.
她让我看见刚才和雅各布在草坪上谈判时的情景，让我看见塞思突然跳到我们中间。她非常清晰的看到和听到这一切的发生。不过那个人看起来不太像我，更像一只优雅的野兽如同离弦的箭一样扑向自己的猎物。这一定是其他人。不过当看到雅各布毫无防备的举着手站在那里，眼睁睁的看着我向他扑去，但他的手连都没抖一下时，我还是觉得有点安慰和没那么内疚了。
“Oh, wonderful,” I groaned. “Perfect.”
“噢，很好，”爱德华抱怨道：“简直完美。”
Renesmee smiled her brilliant smile, and her memory eyes did not leave Jacob through all the following mess. I tasted a new flavor to the memory — not exactly protective, more possessive — as she watched Jacob. I got the distinct impression that she was glad Seth had put himself in front of my spring. She didn’t want Jacob hurt. He was hers.
蕾妮斯梅绽放着她独有的灿烂微笑，她记忆之眼没有留下雅各布一个人继续经历之后的混乱。我能从中品尝出一种新鲜的香味——并不完全是保护性的，更像是占有式的——当她望着雅各布的时候。当看到塞思跳出来挡住我的攻击的时候，我马上感觉到她明显的庆幸的情绪。她不希望雅各布受伤，他是她的。
Edward chuckled, watching Renesmee’s thoughts with me. And then we both winced as we heard the crack of Seth’s bones.
爱德华低笑了一声，和我一起看着蕾妮斯梅的记忆。然后当听到塞思的骨头咔嚓一声的时候，我们一起打了个冷颤。。
Carlisle and his tape measure, knowing she had to stretch and be still. It was not interesting to her.
卡莱尔和他的软尺，知道自己要伸直然后定住一会儿，自己对这毫不感兴趣。
“I told you she likes me, too,” Jacob teased from across the room, his eyes on Renesmee. His joking was halfhearted; the tense angle of his eyebrows had not relaxed.
“我告诉过你她也喜欢我。”雅各布的取笑声从房间另一头传来，眼睛温柔的看着蕾妮斯梅。他的玩笑并不认真，紧锁的眉头告诉我他还是很担心。
“It’s just because he tastes better than the rest of us,” Edward assured me, voice stiff with his own annoyance.
“这只是因为他闻起来比我们都好一些，”爱德华僵硬的安慰我说，明显自己都在烦着。
Renesmee patted my face impatiently, demanding my attention. Another memory: Rosalie pulling a brush gently through each of her curls. It felt nice.
蕾妮斯梅不耐烦的拍着我的脸，要我注意她，又一个回忆：罗莎莉温柔的帮她梳着头，感觉很舒服。
And then Renesmee was out of my arms, which were pinned behind my back. I didn’t struggle with Jasper; I just looked at Edward’s frightened face.
接着有人从我手中把蕾妮斯梅抱走，让我定在地上，我没有在贾斯帕手中挣扎，只是看着爱德华担心的脸。
“It looks like she’s going to give you a rundown of everything you missed,” Edward commented in my ear.
“她像是要把你错过的所有事情都给你演示一遍。”爱德华在我耳边轻语。
“What did I do?”
“我做了什么？”
My nose wrinkled as she dumped the next one on me. The smell coming from a strange metal cup — hard enough not to be bitten through easily — sent a flash burn through my throat. Ouch.
当她把下一个回忆丢给我的时候，我皱了下鼻子。像是从一个诡异的金属杯子传来的味道——足够坚硬不太容易被咬穿——让我的喉咙燃烧起来。天哪！
Edward looked at Jasper behind me, and then at me again. “But she was remembering being thirsty,” Edward muttered, his forehead pressing into lines. “She was remembering the taste of human blood.”
爱德华看了一眼我身后的贾斯帕，然后转而向我抱怨说：“这没办法啊，蕾妮斯梅正回忆着她口渴的时候，”眉头都快皱成一条直线了：“正回忆着人类鲜血的味道。”
Edward frowned at me for a second more, and then his expression loosened. He laughed once. “And nothing at all, it seems. The overreaction is mine this time. Jazz, let her go.”
爱德华皱着眉头盯着我看了一会儿，表情慢慢缓和下来，还笑了一下：“接下来什么都没有，看样子。这次是我自己反应过度，见鬼，放开她。”
“Yes,” I agreed. “And?”
“的确，”我同意道：“接下来？”
Jasper’s arms pulled mine tighter together. Part of my head noted that this wasn’t particularly uncomfortable, let alone painful, as it would have been to a human. It was just annoying. I was sure I could break his hold, but I didn’t fight it.
贾斯帕双手绞起紧紧的箍着我，倒没有我以为的那么难受，更别说痛了，相对于人类柔弱的身体来说。只是很烦人，我知道自己可以突破他的紧箍，但却没有挣扎。
“He’ll be back,” Edward said, whether to me or Renesmee, I wasn’t sure. “He just needs a moment alone to readjust his perspective on life.” There was a grin threatening at the corners of his mouth.
“他会回来的，”爱德华说，就是不知道他是在跟我解释呢还是跟蕾妮斯梅：“他只是需要一点时间调整下自己对生命的看法。”说着嘴角扯过一丝古怪的微笑。
I was already over the shock of her odd little gift. It seemed an entirely natural part of her, almost to be expected. Maybe now that I was part of the supernatural myself, I would never be a skeptic again.
我对她着古怪的小天赋已经不觉得惊讶了，这就像她天性的一部分，潜意识里我甚至期待着她的与众不同。现在我不就是超自然现象里的一部分了？我想自己没法再坚持原来的无神论了。
I watched in surprise as Jasper strode out the back door. Leah moved to give him a wide margin of space as he paced to the river and then launched himself over it in one bound.
我惊讶的看着贾斯帕大步迈出房门，走到河边。利亚腾出一大块地方给他，但他只是猛地跳到河那边去了。
The binding hands disappeared. I reached out for Renesmee as soon as I was free. Edward handed her to me without hesitation.
捆着我的双手一消失，我马上移动到蕾妮斯梅身边，这次爱德华毫不犹豫的把她递给我。
“I can’t understand,” Jasper said. “I can’t bear this.”
“这到底是怎么一回事，”贾斯帕嚷道：“我实在受不了了，懒得管你们。”
Renesmee touched my neck, repeating the scene of departure right back, like an instant replay. I could feel the question in her thought, an echo of mine.
蕾妮斯梅再次摸着我的脖子，给我接着放刚才的小电影，跟DVD的重放一样。我能从中体会到她没问出口的问题，就像我脑海里的回声一样。
Another human memory — Edward telling me that Jasper would feel better about himself if I “had a hard time adjusting” to being a vampire. This was in the context of a discussion about how many people I would kill my first newborn year.
另一个人类时的记忆——爱德华告诉我，贾斯帕会感觉好些如果我“有一段艰难的适应期”作为一个新生儿。问题只不过是我到底会杀多少人，在我成熟之前。
But what was wrong with Jasper?
可贾斯帕又是怎么了？
“What’s the matter with him, then?”
“那他还能有什么问题？”
“He’s wondering if the newborn madness is really as difficult as we’ve always thought, or if, with the right focus and attitude, anyone could do as well as Bella. Even now — perhaps he only has such difficulty because he believes it’s natural and unavoidable.
“他在疑惑，新生儿的疯狂是不是真的如我们之前所以为的那样难以控制。还是说，只要有正确的态度和集中力，每个人都可以做的和贝拉一样好。即使是现在——他还是有这样困惑，因为他一直以为这是天性，是不可避免的。
Edward’s eyes widened. “No. Why would he be?”
爱德华瞪大眼睛：“当然不会，他为什么要生你的气？”
“Is he mad at me?” I asked quietly.
“他生我的气了吗？”我小声的问。
“How so?” Carlisle asked before I could.
“怎么会？”卡莱尔在我出声之前问道。
“He’s upset with himself, not you, Bella. He’s worrying about… self-fulfilling prophecy, I suppose you could say.”
“他只是对自己失望，不是对你，贝拉。嗯，他在害怕……原来那些结论都只是些自私的心理暗示，可以这么说。”
Maybe if he expected more of himself, he would rise to those expectations. You’re making him question a lot of deep-rooted assumptions, Bella.”
或许，如果他对自己的期望能高一点，他就真的能做到。贝拉，你让他质疑起吸血鬼世界更深更基本的规律。”
“But that’s unfair,” Carlisle said. “Everyone is different; everyone has their own challenges. Perhaps what Bella is doing goes beyond the natural. Maybe this is her gift, so to speak.”
“但这样想对他并不公平，”卡莱尔说：“每个人都是独立的个体，每个人都会有自己的难关。也许，贝拉的所作所为已经超越了天性，可以这么说，很可能这就是她的天赋。”
“That’s an interesting theory, and quite plausible,” Edward said.
“非常有趣的理论，很可能是对的。”爱德华说。
I froze with surprise. Renesmee felt the change, and touched me. She remembered the last second of time and wondered why.
我惊讶的呆住了，蕾妮斯梅也感觉到我情绪的变化，摸着我重建起我们的联系，她给我看了刚才最后几秒发生的事，想知道为什么。
For one thing, at least I had a gift. It could have been nothing.
至少，我还有个天赋。本来还可能什么都没有的。
For a tiny space, I was disappointed. What? No magic visions, no formidable offensive abilities like, oh, shooting lightning bolts from my eyes or something? Nothing helpful or cool at all?
有那么一会儿，我有点失望。什么？没有神奇的预言术，没有强大的攻击能力，比如，噢，从眼睛射出的死亡激光之类的？什么有用的有型的都没有？
But, much more than that, if Edward was right, then I could skip right over the part I’d feared the very most.
但，远不止如此，如果爱德华是对的，那就是说我能直接跳过作为吸血鬼我最害怕的那部份。
And then I realized what that might mean, if my “superpower” was no more than exceptional self-control.
接着我明白到，如果我的“超能力”就是强大的自控力，那意味着什么。
I sighed as soon as reality filtered through hope. I couldn’t see Charlie right away. The eyes, the voice, the perfected face. What could I possibly say to him; how could I even begin? I was furtively glad that I had some excuses for putting things off for a while; as much as I wanted to find some way to keep Charlie in my life, I was terrified of that first meeting. Seeing his eyes pop as he took in my new face, my new skin. Knowing that he was frightened. Wondering what dark explanation would form in his head.
当真实超过幻想，我深深叹了口气。我现在还不能去看查理，我的眼睛，我的声音，我完美的面容。我能跟他说什么，我甚至不知如何开口？不过想到这，我却有点庆幸，自己可以再逃避一段时间。我有多想在自己的生命里为查理保留一席之地，我就有多害怕我们的初见。看到他为我现在的眼睛、皮肤而惊讶到眼珠都快掉下来的样子，看到他为我而受惊，脑子里不知道想到多么可怕的解释，我会受不了的。
What if I didn’t have to be a newborn? Not in the crazed killing-machine sense, anyway. What if I could fit right in with the Cullens from my first day? What if we didn’t have to hide out somewhere remote for a year while I “grew up”? What if, like Carlisle, I never killed a single person? What if I could be a good vampire right away?
如果我不必经过新生期，那代表什么？至少我不用经历那可怕的疯狂杀人欲。如果我能从一开始就自然的融入卡伦家？如果我们不用躲到什么荒凉偏僻的地方？如果，跟卡莱尔一样，我的手上一滴人类的鲜血都不用沾上？如果从一开始我就可以是一个好的吸血鬼？这些，这些意味着什么？
I could see Charlie.
我能去看查理了。
“Have you ever seen an equivalent to self-control as a talent?” Edward asked Carlisle. “Do you really think that’s a gift, or just a product of all her preparation?”
“你有看过类似Bella这样自我控制的天赋吗？”爱德华问卡莱尔：“你真的觉得这是一种天赋，而不是她之前所作的所有准备的结果吗？”
I was chicken enough to wait for a year while my eyes cooled. And here I’d thought I would be so fearless when I was indestructible.
我想我已经够没用的了，为了让眼睛的颜色淡下来而等待整整一年。更何况我本来以为自己现在应该强大到什么都不怕了。
“Siobhan, your friend in that Irish coven?” Rosalie asked. “I wasn’t aware that she did anything special. I thought it was Maggie who was talented in that bunch.”
“西沃恩，你那个在爱尔兰女巫联盟的朋友？”罗莎莉问：“我从来没注意到她做了什么神奇的事，我还以为在那群人中间是马吉更有天分。”
“Yes, Siobhan thinks the same. But she has this way of deciding her goals and then almost… willing them into reality. She considers it good planning, but I’ve always wondered if it was something more. When she included Maggie, for instance. Liam was very territorial, but Siobhan wanted it to work out, and so it did.”
“的确，西沃恩也这么认为。但她能在决定了目标后，几乎是……完全按照自己的意愿般让事情实现。她把这看作是事前做好计划的结果，但我一直觉得不止是这样。比如那时当她想招马吉入会，但利亚姆却是非常独裁的人，只不过因为西沃恩想让这事成功，事情就真的成功了。”
Carlisle shrugged. “It’s slightly similar to what Siobhan has always been able to do, though she wouldn’t call it a gift.”
卡莱尔耸耸肩说：“有那么点像西沃恩经常做的事，虽然她从来不把那成为天赋。”
Edward, Carlisle, and Rosalie settled into chairs as they continued with the discussion. Jacob sat next to Seth protectively, looking bored. From the way his eyelids drooped, I was sure he’d be unconscious momentarily.
爱德华、卡莱尔和罗莎莉纷纷坐下，继续着这场讨论。雅各布小心的护着塞思在旁边坐下，看起来对这没啥兴趣，眼皮半闭半睁，我知道他已经开始打瞌睡了。
They must sit out of habit. Humans would notice someone standing for hours without ever shifting her weight to a different foot. Even now, I saw Rosalie brush her fingers against her hair and Carlisle cross his legs. Little motions to keep from being too still, too much a vampire. I would have to pay attention to what they did and start practicing.
他们坐下肯定是因为习惯，如果有人一动不动站了几个小时却连移动下重心都没有，那人们一定会觉得有问题。就算是现在，我也能看见罗莎莉时不时拨一下头发而卡莱尔则交叉下双手。做一些不让自己像定住一样的小动作，免得太像吸血鬼。我看我得从现在开始留心他们的行为，然后练习了。
I realized that the others had no reason for sitting down. I was perfectly comfortable standing. It was just as restful as stretching out on a bed would be. I knew I would be able to stand like this for a week without moving and I would feel just as relaxed at the end of the seven days as I did at the beginning.
我突然意识到我们这些人根本不需要坐下休息的，站着我就已经觉得非常舒服了，跟躺在床上一样放松。我猜我能就这样一动不动站上一个星期，而不会觉得有丝毫劳累，即使到第七天也会跟现在一样轻松。
Renesmee told me about every minute happening of the day, and I got the feeling from the tenor of her little stories that she wanted me to know her every bit as much I wanted the same thing. It worried her that I had missed things — like the sparrows that had hopped closer and closer when Jacob had held her, both of them very still beside one of the big hemlocks; the birds wouldn’t come close to Rosalie. Or the outrageously icky white stuff — baby formula — that Carlisle had put in her cup; it smelled like sour dirt. Or the song Edward had crooned to her that was so perfect Renesmee played it for me twice; I was surprised that I was in the background of that memory, perfectly motionless but looking fairly battered still. I shuddered, remembering that time from my own perspective. The hideous fire…
蕾妮斯梅给我重放了这两天里几乎每一分钟的事，从她告诉我的所有小事中我了解到，她希望我能知道她每一滴的生活，就跟我希望的一样。她担心我错过某些事——像当雅各布抱着她站在铁杉树上时，蹦蹦跳跳靠近的小麻雀——如果是罗莎莉抱她的话小鸟是绝对不会靠近的；像卡莱尔倒到她杯子里的——可怕的甜腻的白色婴儿食品；像爱德华在她耳边吟唱的催眠曲——那么优美，蕾妮斯梅给我放了两遍。让我惊讶的是，我居然也在她的回忆里，一动不动满脸憔悴的站在最后面。这让我想起我自己那痛苦的回忆，浑身颤抖——那折磨人的火焰，痛苦的燃烧感……
I listened, but my attention was divided. Renesmee was still telling me about her day. I held her by the window wall, my arms rocking her automatically as we stared into each other’s eyes.
我听着，但注意力分散了。蕾妮斯梅还告诉我她一天的事情。我把她抱在窗边，当我们凝视着对方的眼睛时，我的手臂自动地摇晃着她。
I rolled my weight back to my left leg. It felt kind of silly.
我试着换了一只脚站，感觉有点白痴。
Maybe they were just trying to give me a little alone time with my baby — as alone as was safe.
也可能他们只是想给我和宝宝留下点独自相处的空间——只要还安全。
Mesmerized, I watched her dreams. There was no sense to it. Just colors and shapes and faces. I was pleased by how often my face — both of my faces, hideous human and glorious immortal — cropped up in her unconscious thoughts. More than Edward or Rosalie. I was neck and neck with Jacob; I tried not to let that get to me.
像被催眠了一样，我呆呆的看着她的梦境。里面完全没有实物，全部都是七彩的光、各种几何形状和一些人脸。看到自己的脸频频出现，我暗自乐着——两个我，丑陋的人类和灿烂的不朽之人——交替在她的梦中出现。比爱德华和罗莎莉都多，跟雅各布不相上下，我试着不让那影响我。
Her hand fell away from my face as she drifted to sleep — the backs of her eyelids were the pale lavender color of thin clouds before the sunrise. Careful not to disturb her, I lifted that hand back to my skin and held it there curiously. At first there was nothing, and then, after a few minutes, a flickering of colors like a handful of butterflies were scattering from her thoughts.
她的小手从我的脸上落下——原来她睡着了。她眼皮是淡淡的薰衣草色，像日出前天边的一丝白云。尽量不打扰到她，我小心翼翼的握着她的小手，好奇的贴到自己脸上。刚开始什么都没出现，接着，几分钟后，从她的脑袋里飞出几只七彩的闪闪发光的蝴蝶。
After almost an hour — the others were still deeply absorbed in their discussion, Seth and Jacob snoring in harmony on the couch — Renesmee’s memory stories began to slow. They got slightly blurry around the edges and drifted out of focus before they came to their conclusions. I was about to interrupt Edward in a panic — was there something wrong with her? — when her eyelids fluttered and closed. She yawned, her plump pink lips stretching into a round O, and her eyes never reopened.
将近过了一个小时——这些人还沉浸在那讨论中，塞思和雅各布倒是舒服的躺在沙发上打着呼噜。这时，蕾妮斯梅的故事慢下来，边缘变得有些模糊，接着整个图像都像失去焦点一样。我差点的尖叫着打断爱德华他们的谈话了——她怎么了？哪里病了吗？——她的眼皮微微颤动了一下，然后彻底闭上。她打了个呵欠，饱满的粉红色嘴唇张成一个大大的圆圈，眼睛再没睁开。
For the first time, I understood how Edward had been able to watch me sleep night after boring night, just to hear me talk in my sleep. I could watch Renesmee dream forever.
第一次，我明白爱德华原来是怎样在漫长黑夜中看着我入睡，只是为了听见我做梦时的呓语。我希望永远能看着蕾妮斯梅睡觉，她甜美的梦境永远不会让我厌倦。
Leah, still glowering, got up and slunk into the brush just as Alice came into view on the other side of the river. Alice swung back and forth from a branch like a trapeze artist, toes touching hands, before throwing her body into a graceful flat spin over the river.
利亚还是虎视眈眈的，忽然站起来跑到灌木丛中，当爱丽丝的身影出现在视野里，在河那边。她回头跳起来抓住一枝前伸的树枝，像荡秋千一样在树枝上大回环，脚趾都快能碰到手了，接着猛地一甩优雅的飞过河面。
The huge grin stretching Alice’s face was familiar in a dim, odd way. Everyone was suddenly smiling at me — Esme sweet, Emmett excited, Rosalie a little superior, Carlisle indulgent, and Edward expectant.
爱丽丝脸上绽放出大大的笑容，跟我模糊古怪的记忆里一模一样。突然之间，每个人都对我笑起来——埃斯梅甜美的笑着，埃美特兴奋的笑着，罗莎莉则有点高傲的笑着，卡莱尔和蔼宽厚的笑着，而爱德华的笑容则跟我预想的一样。
The change in Edward’s tone caught my attention when he said, “Finally…” and turned to gaze out the window. It was deep, purply night outside, but I could see just as far as before. Nothing was hidden in the darkness; everything had just changed colors.
爱德华突然改变的声调引起了我的注意当他说：“最后……”接着他走到窗前眺望着远方，窗外的天空现在是深沉的紫色，但我还是看得跟白天一样清楚，没有什么东西被黑暗所掩盖，一切只不过是换了种颜色。
Esme made a more traditional leap, while Emmett charged right through the water, splashing water so far that splatters hit the back windows. To my surprise, Jasper followed after, his own efficient leap seeming understated, even subtle, after the others.
埃斯梅则是很正常的跳过来，而埃美特钻到水里面游了过来，他划水划的太快以至于水花四溅，连我们面前的窗户上都溅有水滴。接着我惊讶的发现，贾斯帕也跟在他们后面，以他独有的高效的动作，微不可查越过河流随他们而来。
I rolled my eyes. “No one starts counting on the actual day of birth,” I reminded her. “Your first birthday is at the year mark, Alice.”
我翻了个白眼：“没有人真的在数自己成为吸血鬼有多少天，”我提醒她：“你的生日应该是你被咬的那天，而不是清醒的那天。”
She held the key out for me, and I automatically gripped Renesmee more securely in my right arm so that I could open my left. Alice dropped the key into it.
她把钥匙递给我，我右手小心的抱好蕾妮斯梅，好让左手空出来，爱丽丝把钥匙扔到我手上。
Her grin turned smug. “We’re not celebrating your vampire birthday. Yet. It’s September thirteenth, Bella. Happy nineteenth birthday!”
她俏皮的咧了下嘴：“我们不是在庆祝你吸血鬼的生日。忘了吗，今天是十二月13号，贝拉。19岁生日快乐！”
Alice skipped into the room ahead of everyone else, her hand stretched out in front of her and impatience making a nearly visible aura around her. In her palm was an everyday brass key with an oversized pink satin bow tied around it.
爱丽丝走在所有前面蹦蹦跳跳的进来，一只手迫不及待的举起，手心上捧着一条平常的黄铜钥匙，上面绑着个巨大的粉红色缎带蝴蝶结。
“Happy birthday!” she squealed.
“生日快乐！”她大喊了一声。
