廚房顯得既明朗又歡快,似乎被我的情緒感染到了。
"What's for breakfast?" I asked pleasantly.
“早餐吃什么?”我快活地問(wèn)道。
That threw him for a minute.
這個(gè)問(wèn)題讓他想了足足一分鐘。
"Er, I'm not sure. What would you like?" His marble brow puckered.
“呃,我不能肯定。你喜歡吃什么?”他大理石般的額頭皺了起來(lái)。
I grinned, hopping up.
我咧嘴一笑,跳了起來(lái)。
"That's all right, I fend for myself pretty well. Watch me hunt."
“那好吧,我可是很擅長(zhǎng)自力更生的??粗以趺瘁鳙C。”
I found a bowl and a box of cereal. I could feel his eyes on me as I poured the milk andgrabbed a spoon. I sat my food on the table, and then paused.
我找出一只碗和一盒麥片。當(dāng)我把牛奶倒進(jìn)去,抓起一把勺子的時(shí)候,我能感覺(jué)到他的眼睛在看著我。我把自己的食物放到桌子上,然后停住了。
"Can I get you anything?" I asked, not wanting to be rude.
“需要我給你弄點(diǎn)什么吃的嗎?”我不想顯得太過(guò)無(wú)禮,于是問(wèn)道。
He rolled his eyes. "Just eat, Bella."
他轉(zhuǎn)了轉(zhuǎn)眼睛。“吃吧,貝拉。”
I sat at the table, watching him as I took a bite. He was gazing at me, studying my everymovement. It made me self-conscious. I cleared my mouth to speak, to distract him.
我坐到桌子旁,看著他,然后吃了一口。他注視著我,研究著我的每一個(gè)動(dòng)作。這讓我很不自在。我咽下嘴里的食物,開(kāi)口說(shuō)話,想要分散他的注意力。
"What's on the agenda for today?" I asked.
“今天有什么安排嗎?”我問(wèn)道。
"Hmmm…" I watched him frame his answer carefully. "What would you say to meeting myfamily?"
“呃嗯……”我看著他仔細(xì)地斟酌著自己的答案。“你覺(jué)得去見(jiàn)我的家里人怎么樣?”
I gulped.
我吞咽了一下。
"Are you afraid now?" He sounded hopeful.
“你現(xiàn)在害怕了?”他聽(tīng)起來(lái)滿懷希望。
"Yes," I admitted; how could I deny it — he could see my eyes.
“是的。”我坦白道。我怎么可能否認(rèn)呢——他從我眼里就能看出來(lái)。
"Don't worry." He smirked. "I'll protect you."
“別擔(dān)心。”他壞笑起來(lái)。“我會(huì)保護(hù)你的。”
"I'm not afraid of them," I explained. "I'm afraid they won't… like me. Won't they be, well,surprised that you would bring someone… like me… home to meet them? Do they know that Iknow about them?"
“我不是在害怕他們。”我解釋道。“我是在害怕他們會(huì)……不喜歡我。難道他們不會(huì),嗯,很驚訝,你居然帶了一個(gè)……像我這樣的人……回家去見(jiàn)他們?他們知道我知道他們的事嗎?”
