暮光之城?暮色 第76期:第六章 驚悚故事(6)

[00:11.75]We picked our way down to the beach, Mike leading the way to a ring of driftwood logs that had obviously been used for parties like ours before. 我們循路走下沙灘，邁克在前頭領(lǐng)路，把我們帶向一圈圓浮木。顯然，這圈浮木之前也曾為像我們這樣的成群結(jié)隊(duì)的旅人服務(wù)過。 [00:07.63]There was a fire circle already in place, filled with black ashes. 那里有個(gè)擺得恰到好處的篝火堆，上面鋪滿了黑色的灰燼。 [00:11.75]Eric and the boy I thought was named Ben gathered broken branches of driftwood from the drier piles against the forest edge, 埃里克和另一個(gè)男孩——我想他的名字是本——從樹林邊緣干燥的木頭堆里收集了不少破碎的浮木塊， [00:19.33]and soon had a teepee-shaped construction built atop the old cinders. 然后很快在那些經(jīng)年累月的灰燼上壘起了一個(gè)搖搖晃晃的木架。 [00:23.64]"Have you ever seen a driftwood fire?" Mike asked me. “你見過浮木篝火嗎?”邁克問我。 [00:27.10]I was sitting on one of the bone-colored benches; 我坐在其中一張骨白色的長凳上， [00:29.90]the other girls clustered, gossiping excitedly, on either side of me. 別的女孩都聚在一起，興奮地說著閑話，坐在了我的另一邊。 [00:33.99]Mike kneeled by the fire, lighting one of the smaller sticks with a cigarette lighter. 邁克跪在篝火旁，正在用打火機(jī)點(diǎn)燃其中一根比較細(xì)的干枝。 [00:38.79]"No," I said as he placed the blazing twig carefully against the teepee. “沒有。”我說，看著他把那個(gè)熊熊燃燒著的細(xì)枝小心地放到那堆搖搖晃晃的木架上。 [00:43.53]"You'll like this then — watch the colors." “那你一定會(huì)喜歡這個(gè)的——看它的顏色。” [00:46.95]He lit another small branch and laid it alongside the first. 他點(diǎn)燃了另一根樹枝，并排著放到剛才那根樹枝旁。 [00:50.29]The flames started to lick quickly up the dry wood. 火焰開始迅速地吞沒著干燥的木塊。 [00:53.29]"It's blue," I said in surprise. “那是藍(lán)色的!”我驚訝地說。 [00:55.80]"The salt does it. Pretty, isn't it?" He lit one more piece, placed it where the fire hadn't yet caught, and then came to sit by me. “因?yàn)橛宣}。很漂亮，對吧?”他又點(diǎn)燃了一片木屑，放到木架上火還沒燒到的地方，然后過來坐到我旁邊。 [01:03.98]Thankfully, Jess was on his other side. She turned to him and claimed his attention. 謝天謝地，杰西坐在他的另一邊。她轉(zhuǎn)向他，努力吸引他的注意力。 [01:09.07]I watched the strange blue and green flames crackle toward the sky. 我看著那堆古怪的藍(lán)綠色火焰沖著天空劈啪作響。
