I felt a tranquil 1 atmosphere settle around me. I welcomed it, using it to keep my emotions disciplined, under control. 我感到一阵宁静笼罩着我。我对这宁静很是欢迎,利用它来控制自己的情绪,让自己的思绪有条不紊。
Alice, too, recovered herself. 爱丽丝也恢复了过来。
Nothing, really, she answered finally, her voice remarkably 2 calm and convincing. Just the same room as before. “没事,真的。”她最终答道,她的声音异常地平静,令人信服。“跟之前的那间房间一样。”
She finally looked at me, her expression smooth and withdrawn 3. Did you want breakfast? 她终于看向我,她的神情既平静又孤僻。“你想吃早餐了吗?”
No, I'll eat at the airport. I was very calm, too. I went to the bathroom to shower. Almost as if I were borrowing Jasper's strange extra sense, “不,我会在机场吃早餐。”我也很平静。我走进浴室,去洗个澡。简直像是我借用了贾斯帕的特异感觉一样,
I could feel Alice's wild though well-concealed desperation to have me out of the room, to be alone with Jasper. 我能感觉到爱丽丝强烈的尽管她掩饰得很好绝望地想让我离开这间屋子,让她和贾斯帕独处的情绪。
So she could tell him that they were doing something wrong, that they were going to fail… 这样她就能告诉他他们做错了某件事,他们注定要失败……
I got ready methodically, concentrating on each little task. I left my hair down, swirling 4 around me, covering my face. 我有条不紊地做着准备,全神贯注地做好每一件琐事。我把头发放下来,披散在肩上,遮盖住自己的脸。
The peaceful mood Jasper created worked its way through me and helped me think clearly. Helped me plan. I dug through my bag until I found my sock full of money. 贾斯帕所营造的安宁的气氛很有用,它能帮助我条理清晰地思考着。也有助于我的计划。我在书包里翻找着,挖出了我那只装满了钱的袜子。
I emptied it into my pocket. 我把它倒空,把钱全部塞进了我的钱包里。
I was anxious to get to the airport, and glad when we left by seven. I sat alone this time in the back of the dark car. 我迫不及待地想要到机场去,当我们在七点整出发的时候,我深感欣慰。这一次我独自坐在那辆黑色的轿车后排。
Alice leaned against the door, her face toward Jasper but, behind her sunglasses, shooting glances in my direction every few seconds. 爱丽丝倚在门上,她的脸朝着贾斯帕,但是,在她的太阳眼镜之下,她的眼睛每隔几秒就会向我的方向瞥一眼。
Alice? I asked indifferently. “爱丽丝?”我漠不关心地问道。
She was wary 5. Yes? 她很警惕。“嗯?”
How does it work? The things that you see? I stared out the side window, and my voice sounded bored. Edward said it wasn't definite… that things change? “这是怎么做到的?你是怎么看见事物的呢?”我看向另一侧的窗外,我的声音听起来兴趣索然。“爱德华说过这不是很准确……事情会改变吗?”
It was harder than I would have thought to say his name. That must have been what alerted 6 Jasper, why a fresh wave of serenity 7 filled the car. 说出他的名字比我想过的还要困难。这一定让贾斯帕警惕起来,于是,一阵新鲜的清朗之气涤荡在车内。
