"Time to visit the optometrist," I muttered. His smirk 1 grew more pronounced. “该去检查视力了。”我喃喃低语道。他的坏笑更明显了。
But then, after another hundred yards, I could definitely see a lightening in the trees ahead, a glow that was yellow instead of green. 但随后，在又走了一百码以后，我确实看见了树林前头的一片光亮，一片明黄的光辉而非绿色。
I picked up the pace, my eagerness growing with every step. 我加快了脚步，每踏出一步，我的渴望就增长一分。
He let me lead now, following noiselessly. 现在他让我走在前面，无声地跟着我。
I reached the edge of the pool of light and stepped through the last fringe of ferns into the loveliest place I had ever seen. 我走到了那一片光亮的边缘，踏过最后一片蕨类植物，走进了我所见过的最可爱的地方。
The meadow was small, perfectly 2 round, and filled with wildflowers—violet, yellow, and soft white. 这片草地很小，几乎是圆形的，开满了野花——紫的，黄的，还有柔和的白色。
Somewhere nearby, I could hear the bubbling music of a stream. 我能听见不远处，一条奔流不息的溪水欢快的歌声。
The sun was directly overhead, filling the circle with a haze 3 of buttery sunshine. 太阳正在头顶上直直地照射下来，用一种薄雾般的奶油色的阳光填满了这一圈空地。
I walked slowly, awestruck, through the soft grass, swaying flowers, and warm, gilded 4 air. 我慢慢地走着，惊奇不已，穿过柔软的芳草，摇曳的花朵，还有温暖的，染成了金色的空气。
I halfway 5 turned, wanting to share this with him, but he wasn't behind me where I thought he'd be. 中途我转过身，想和他分享这一切，但他并没有在我身后，没有在我以为他在的地方。
I spun 6 around, searching for him with sudden alarm. 我原地旋转着，寻找着他的身影，一阵突然的恐惧袭击了我。
Finally I spotted 7 him, still under the dense 8 shade of the canopy 9 at the edge of the hollow, watching me with cautious eyes. 最终我找到了他，他依然站在树庐浓重的阴影下，在这片洼处的边缘，用谨慎的目光看着我。
Only then did I remember what the beauty of the meadow had driven from my mind— 这时我才想起来，这片草地的美丽完全被赶出了我的脑海——
the enigma 10 of Edward and the sun, which he'd promised to illustrate 11 for me today. 爱德华与阳光之谜，他曾经保证过，要在今天向我阐明的。
I took a step back toward him, my eyes alight with curiosity. 我向他走了一步，我的眼睛被好奇点亮了。
His eyes were wary 12, reluctant. 他的眼神很谨慎，显得很不情愿。
I smiled encouragingly and beckoned 13 to him with my hand, taking another step back to him. 我鼓励地微笑着，向他招手示意，正要向他再走一步。
He held up a hand in warning, and I hesitated, rocking back onto my heels. 他警告地举起了一只手，我犹豫了，退回了原处。
Edward seemed to take a deep breath, and then he stepped out into the bright glow of the midday sun. 爱德华似乎深吸了一口气，然后他走出来，走到正午明亮的阳光下。
