I felt Emmett stiffen 1 next to me, and I wondered at his reaction to the word. 我感到坐在我身旁的艾美特僵住了，我仔细忖度着他对这句话的反应。
It meant something more to the three of them than it did to me; I wanted to understand, 这话对他们三个来说意味深长，但对我却不。我试图理解这句话，
but there was no opening for me to ask. 但这里没有我公开发问的余地。
Pull over, Edward. Alice's tone was reasonable, but there was a ring of authority in it I'd never heard before. “把车开回去，爱德华。”爱丽丝的语气很通情达理，但却带着一种我之前没有听到过的权威的感觉。
The speedometer inched passed one-twenty. 里程计的指针一点一点地挪回了一百二十英里。
Do it, Edward. “快点，爱德华”
Listen to me, Alice. I saw his mind. Tracking is his passion, his obsession 2 and he wants her, 听我说，爱丽丝。我看见了他脑子里的想法。追猎是他的爱好，他偏执于此——而且他想要她，
Alice her, specifically. He begins the hunt tonight. “爱丽丝——，就是她。他今晚就会开始狩猎。”
He doesn't know where — “他不知道去哪里——”
He interrupted her. How long do you think it will take him to cross her scent 3 in town? 他打断了她的话。“你觉得他在镇里追寻她的气味能花多少时间？
His plan was already set before the words were out of Laurent's mouth. 劳伦的话还没出口，他脑子里就已经形成计划了。”
I gasped 4, knowing where my scent would lead. Charlie! You can't leave him there! 我顿时领悟过来，知道我的味道将把他引向何方。“查理！
You can't leave him! I thrashed against the harness. 你不能把他留在那里！你不能留下他。”我竭力要挣脱安全带。
She's right, Alice said. “她是对的。”爱丽丝说道。
The car slowed slightly. 车子稍微减慢了速度。
Let's just look at our options for a minute, Alice coaxed 5. “让我们花一分钟时间浏览一下我们的可选项。”爱丽丝耐心地哄着。
The car slowed again, more noticeably, and then suddenly we screeched 6 to a stop on the shoulder of the highway. 车子慢了下来，这回更加明显，然后忽然一个急刹车，停在了路基上。
I flew against the harness, and then slammed back into the seat. 我在安全带的保护下才没有飞出去，随即重重地落回座位上。
There are no options, Edward hissed 7. “根本不存在任何选择。”爱德华嘶声说道。
I'm not leaving Charlie! I yelled. “我不会离开查理！”我疾呼道。
He ignored me completely. 他完全无视我。
We have to take her back, Emmett finally spoke 8. “我们得把她带回去。”艾美特最终说话了。
