“哦，他们早就都知道了。他们昨天还在打赌，你知道”——他微笑着，但他的声音有些生涩——“打赌我会不会带你回来。不过，我想不出有谁敢跟爱丽丝打赌。无论如何，我们家里是没有什么秘密的。这确实不太可能，因为我能读心，而爱丽丝能看见未来的所有事情。”
"And Jasper making you feel all warm and fuzzy about spilling your guts, don't forget that."
“而贾斯帕会让你感受到温暖，不知不觉地说出了心里话，别忘了这一点。”
"You paid attention," he smiled approvingly.
“你注意到了。”他赞许地笑了起来。
"I've been known to do that every now and then." I grimaced. "So did Alice see me coming?"
“我早就时不时地了解到了这一点。”我咧嘴一笑。“所以爱丽丝看到我来了?”
His reaction was strange. "Something like that," he said uncomfortably, turning away so Icouldn't see his eyes. I stared at him curiously.
他的反应很奇怪。“类似于这样的事情。”他很不自在地说道，扭头看向别处，这样我就看不到他的眼睛了。我好奇地盯着他看。
"Is that any good?" he asked, turning back to me abruptly and eyeing my breakfast with ateasing look on his face. "Honestly, it doesn't look very appetizing."
“这是什么好东西吗?”他问道，突然回过头来看着我，脸上露出揶揄的神情看着我的食物。“老实说，这看上去让人很不开胃。”
"Well, it's no irritable grizzly…" I murmured, ignoring him when he glowered. I was stillwondering why he responded that way when I mentioned Alice. I hurried through my cereal,speculating.
“好吧，这里可没什么暴躁的灰熊……”我喃喃自语着，无视他的怒目而视。我还是想知道，为什么当我提到爱丽丝的时候，他会是那种反应。我扒拉着我的麦片，思索着。
He stood in the middle of the kitchen, the statue of Adonis again, staring abstractedly out theback windows.
他站在厨房的中间，又变成了一尊阿多尼斯的雕像，心不在焉地向后窗外看去。
Then his eyes were back on me, and he smiled his heartbreaking smile.
然后他回过头来看着我，露出了一抹令人心碎的微笑。
"And you should introduce me to your father, too, I think."
“我想，你也应该向你父亲正式介绍我。”
"He already knows you," I reminded him.
“他已经认识你了。”我提醒他。
"As your boyfriend, I mean."
“我是指，作为你的男朋友。”
I stared at him with suspicion. "Why?"
我怀疑地盯着他。“为什么?”
"Isn't that customary?" he asked innocently.
“这不是习俗吗?”他一脸无辜地问道。
