有聲讀物《暮光之城·暮色》第338期:第二十二章 捉迷藏(7)

I told the surprised cabbie my mother's address. "I need to get there as soon as possible."
我把我媽媽的住址告訴了那個一臉驚訝的出租車司機。"我要盡快趕到那里，越快越好。"
"That's in Scottsdale," he complained.
"那可是在菲尼克斯。"他抱怨道。
I threw four twenties over the seat.
我把四張二十美元的鈔票扔到前排座位上。
"Will that be enough?"
“這些夠了嗎?”
"Sure, kid, no problem."
“當(dāng)然，孩子，沒問題。”
I sat back against the seat, folding my arms across my lap. The familiar city began to rusharound me, but I didn't look out the windows. I exerted myself to maintain control. I wasdetermined not to lose myself at this point, now that my plan was successfully completed.There was no point in indulging in more terror, more anxiety. My path was set. I just had tofollow it now.
我坐回座位上，雙臂交疊著抱住膝蓋。熟悉的城市開始包圍著我，但我根本不想看出窗外去。我努力讓自己保持自制力。既然我的計劃進行得如此順利，我下定決心不讓自己在這個時候崩潰。讓自己沉浸在更多的恐懼和焦慮中是毫無意義的。我已經(jīng)選擇了這條路。現(xiàn)在我所能是繼續(xù)走下去。
So, instead of panicking, I closed my eyes and spent the twenty minutes' drive with Edward.
所以，我不再惶恐，而是閉上眼睛，用那二十分鐘的車程盡情想著愛德華。
I imagined that I had stayed at the airport to meet Edward. I visualized how I would stand onmy toes, the sooner to see his face. How quickly, how gracefully he would move through thecrowds of people separating us. And then I would run to close those last few feet between usreckless as always and I would be in his marble arms, finally safe.
我想象著自己留在機場，與愛德華相見。我想象著，自己會怎樣踮起腳尖，想要早些看見他的臉;他會怎樣迅速而又優(yōu)雅地穿過分隔著我們的擁擠的人群。然后，我會像平常一樣魯莽地沖上前去，走完我們之間的最后幾步，然后落入他大理石般的懷抱。最終，我會平安無恙。
I wondered where we would have gone. North somewhere, so he could be outside in the day. Ormaybe somewhere very remote, so we could lay in the sun together again. I imagined him bythe shore, his skin sparkling like the sea. It wouldn't matter how long we had to hide. To betrapped in a hotel room with him would be a kind of heaven. So many questions I still had forhim. I could talk to him forever, never sleeping, never leaving his side.
我想知道我們將會去那里。也許是北方的某個地方，這樣他就能在白天外出。又或許是某個非常偏遠的地方，這樣我們就能再次躺在陽光下。我想象著他在海灘上的樣子，他的肌膚會像海水一樣閃閃發(fā)光。我不在乎我們得躲藏多久。和他一起困住賓館房間里的時光一定宛如天堂。我還有那么多的問題想要問題。我可以一直和他談話，永遠也不睡覺，永遠不離開他身邊。
