他把手臂交叠在我的床边，然后把下巴放在自己的手臂上。他的表情平静下来，他的愤怒遏制住了。很显然他已经决定了不对我发火了。我希望我有机会在他抓到爱丽丝以前警告她。
"You have saved me," he said quietly.
“你确实救了我。”他安静地说着。
"I can't always be Lois Lane," I insisted. "I want to be Superman, too."
“我不能总当露易丝?莱恩。”我坚持着。“我也想当超人。”
"You don't know what you're asking." His voice was soft; he stared intently at the edge of the pillowcase.
“你不知道你自己在要求着什么。”他的声音很温柔，他紧张地盯着枕头套的边缘。
"I think I do."
“我想我知道。”
"Bella, you don't know. I've had almost ninety years to think about this, and I'm still not sure."
“贝拉，你不知道。我花了将近九十年的时间去思考这件事，而我还是不能确定。”
"Do you wish that Carlisle hadn't saved you?"
“你希望卡莱尔没有救你吗?”
"No, I don't wish that." He paused before continuing. "But my life was over. I wasn't giving anything up."
“不，我不希望那样。”他停顿了片刻，然后继续说道。“但我的生命已经结束了。我不必放弃任何东西。”
"You are my life. You're the only thing it would hurt me to lose." I was getting better at this. It was easy to admit how much I needed him.
“你就是我的生命。失去你是唯一能伤害我的事。”我能更好地说出这话了。承认我有多么需要他变得容易了。
He was very calm, though. Decided.
可是，他非常地冷静。他做出了决定。
"I can't do it, Bella. I won't do that to you."
“我不能这样做，贝拉。我不能让那样的事发生在你身上。”
"Why not?" My throat rasped and the words weren't as loud as I'd meant them to be. "Don't tell me it's too hard! After today, or I guess it was a few days ago… anyway, after that, it should be nothing."
“为什么不能?”我的喉头沙哑着，我大声地说出了那句话，尽管我本意并不想这样大声说的。“别告诉我这太艰难了!在今天以后，或者我猜那已经是很多天以前的事了……无论如何，在那之后，这就不算什么。”
He glared at me.
他瞪着我。
