"And the others?"
“另一些人是?”
"Nomads, for the most part. We've all lived that way at times. It gets tedious, like anythingelse. But we run across the others now and then, because most of us prefer the North."
“游牧者，大多数情况下是这样。我们有时候会这样生活。这样的生活很乏味，和别的事情一样。但我们时不时会碰见别的同类，因为我们中的大多数人更喜欢北方。”
"Why is that?"
“为什么会这样呢?”
We were parked in front of my house now, and he'd turned off the truck. It was very quiet anddark; there was no moon. The porch light was off so I knew my father wasn't home yet.
现在我们把车停在了我家前，他已经把卡车的引擎关掉了。外面非常安静，非常黑，月亮没有出来。门廊的灯关着，所以我知道我爸爸还没到家。
"Did you have your eyes open this afternoon?" he teased. "Do you think I could walk down thestreet in the sunlight without causing traffic accidents? There's a reason why we chose theOlympic Peninsula, one of the most sunless places in the world. It's nice to be able to gooutside in the day. You wouldn't believe how tired you can get of nighttime in eighty-oddyears."
“你今天下午没有睁开眼睛吗?”他揶揄道。“你认为我能在洒满阳光的街道上行走而不引发任何交通事故吗。这正是我们选择奥林匹亚半岛的缘故，这里几乎是世界上阳光最不充足的地方。在白天能够到外面去是件很棒的事。你不会相信，在这八十多年里你会多么地厌倦夜晚。”
"So that's where the legends came from?"
“所以这就是那种传说的来源?”
"Probably."
“很有可能。”
"And Alice came from another family, like Jasper?"
“而爱丽丝来自另一个家族，就像贾斯帕一样?”
"No, and that is a mystery. Alice doesn't remember her human life at all. And she doesn't knowwho created her. She awoke alone. Whoever made her walked away, and none of usunderstand why, or how, he could. If she hadn't had that other sense, if she hadn't seenJasper and Carlisle and known that she would someday become one of us, she probably wouldhave turned into a total savage."
“不，这一切还是个谜。爱丽丝完全不记得她还是人类时的生活。她也不知道是谁创造了她。她独自醒来。转变她的人已经走了。我们都不能理解为什么，或者，他是怎么能做到的。如果不是她拥有第六感，如果她没有看到贾斯帕和卡莱尔，知道她终有一日将成为我们中的一员，她也许早就变成了一个彻底的未开化的原始人了。”
