 　　It didn't matter that my body was rigid¹ as a plank², my hands balled into fists, my breathing erratic… 没关系的，尽管我的身体僵硬得像块木板，我的手蜷握成了拳头，我的呼吸很不稳定……

　　He chuckled³ darkly, and leaned away. His face did look disappointed. 他阴暗地轻笑着，然后把身子移开了。他的神情真的很失望。

　　You can't really believe that I would give in so easily, he said with a sour edge to his mocking tone. “你不应该相信我会如此轻易地作出让步。”他说着，嘲弄的语气里有一丝酸涩的味道。

　　A girl can dream. “女孩可以做梦。”

　　His eyebrows⁴ rose. Is that what you dream about? Being a monster? 他的眉毛扬起来。“这就是你梦寐以求的？成为一个怪物？”

　　Not exactly, I said, frowning at his word choice. Monster, indeed. Mostly I dream about being with you forever. “当然不是。”我说着，因为他所选择的词语而皱起了眉。怪物，的确。“我梦想得更多的是永远和你在一起。”

　　His expression changed, softened⁵ and saddened by the subtle ache in my voice. 他的神情改变了，变得柔和起来，也因为我声音里那种微微的痛苦而悲伤起来。

　　Bella. His fingers lightly traced the shape of my lips. I will stay with you  isn't that enough? “贝拉，”他的手指轻轻勾勒着我的唇形。“我会和你在一起这还不够吗？”

　　I smiled under his fingertips. Enough for now. 我在他的指尖下微笑着。“现在是足够了。”

　　He frowned at my tenacity⁶. No one was going to surrender tonight. He exhaled⁷, and the sound was practically a growl⁸. 他因为我的固执而皱起眉。今晚没有人会让步。他呼了一口气，那声音听起来像是一声货真价实的咆哮。

　　I touched his face. Look, I said. I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough? 我轻抚着他的脸。“看，”我说道。“我爱你，胜过这世界上的一切加起来的总和。这还不够吗？”

　　Yes, it is enough, he answered, smiling. Enough for forever. “是的，这足够了。”他微笑着，答道。“永永远远，都足够了。”

　　And he leaned down to press his cold lips once more to my throat. 然后他俯下身来，再次把他冰冷的唇压到我的喉咙上。
