I tried on a couple of different tops, not sure what to expect tonight. 我换了好几套不同的搭配,还是不能确定今晚应该穿什么。
As I concentrated on what was coming, what had just passed became insignificant 1. 当我把注意力集中在将要发生的事上时,刚刚发生的一切变得无关紧要起来。
Now that I was removed from Jasper's and Edward's influence, I began to make up for not being terrified before. 一旦我脱离了贾斯帕和爱德华的影响,我就开始补上刚才没惊吓的份了。
I gave up quickly on choosing an outfit 2 — throwing on an old flannel 3 shirt and jeans 我立刻放弃挑选出一套外出服的打算——随便丢了一件旧的法兰绒恤衫和一条牛仔裤
knowing I would be in my raincoat all night anyway. 知道自己整夜都会待在自己的雨衣里。
The phone rang and I sprinted 4 downstairs to get it. 电话响了起来,我冲下楼去接。
There was only one voice I wanted to hear; anything else would be a disappointment. 我想听的声音只有一个,任何别的声音都会令我失望。
But I knew that if he wanted to talk to me, he'd probably just materialize in my room. 但我知道如果他想和我说话的话,他也许会直接出现在我的房间里。
Hello? I asked, breathless. “你好?”我屏住呼吸,问道。
Bella? It's me, Jessica said. “贝拉?是我。”杰西卡说道。
Oh, hey, Jess. I scrambled 5 for a moment to come back down to reality. “哦,嗨,杰西。”我挣扎了片刻,才回到现实中来。
It felt like months rather than days since I'd spoken to Jess. How was the dance? 感觉像是我有几个月而不是几天没和杰西说话了。“舞会怎么样了?”
It was so much fun! Jessica gushed 6. Needing no more invitation than that, “非常有趣!”杰西卡滔滔不绝地说道。无需更进一步的邀请,
she launched into a minute-by-minute account of the previous night. 她就开始一五一十地讲述起前天晚上的所有细节。
I mmm'd and ahh'd at the right places, but it wasn't easy to concentrate. 我在恰当的时候“嗯嗯”和“啊啊”,但很难专心。
Jessica, Mike, the dance, the school — they all seemed strangely irrelevant 7 at the moment. 杰西卡,迈克,舞会,学校——此时此刻,这一切似乎都陌生得不可思议。
My eyes kept flashing to the window, trying to judge the degree of light behind the heavy clouds. 我的眼睛不停地瞟着窗外,试图从厚重的云层里看出天色的早晚。
Did you hear what I said, Bella? Jess asked, irritated. “你听到我说的了吗,贝拉?”杰西恼怒地问道。
I'm sorry, what? “抱歉,什么?”
I said, Mike kissed me! Can you believe it? “我说,迈克吻了我!你能相信吗?”
