"Can you walk?" Mr. Banner asked.
“你还能走路吗?”巴纳老师问道。
"Yes," I whispered. Just let me get out of here, I thought. I'll crawl.
“能。”我低声说道。只要能让我离开这里,我想,就是爬我也要爬出去。
Mike seemed eager as he put his arm around my waist and pulled my arm over his shoulder. I leaned against him heavily on the way out of the classroom.
迈克似乎相当热衷于此,他一只手环绕在我的腰间,另一只手把我的胳膊拉过他的肩膀。我把重心靠在他身上,一路走出教室。
Mike towed me slowly across campus. When we were around the edge of the cafeteria, out of sight of building four in case Mr. Banner was watching, I stopped.
迈克搀扶着我,慢慢地穿过校园。当我们绕过自助餐厅的一角,走出四号楼里的班纳老师的视线范围——如果他有在看的话——的时候,我停了下来。
"Just let me sit for a minute, please?" I begged.
“让我在这里坐会儿,好吗?”我恳求道。
He helped me sit on the edge of the walk.
他扶着我坐到人行道的边上。
"And whatever you do, keep your hand in your pocket," I warned. I was still so dizzy. I slumped over on my side, putting my cheek against the freezing, damp cement of the sidewalk, closing my eyes. That seemed to help a little.
“还有,不管你要做什么,把你的手放回口袋里。”我警告他。我还是觉得头晕目眩。我向着与迈克相反的方向伏倒身子,把脸贴在冰冷潮湿的人行道水泥路面上,闭上了眼睛。这样能让我好受一点。
"Wow, you're green, Bella," Mike said nervously.
“哇噢,贝拉,你看上去脸色发青。”迈克焦急地说。
"Bella?" a different voice called from the distance.
“贝拉?”另一个完全不同的声音从远处传来。
No! Please let me be imagining that horribly familiar voice.
不!这个熟悉得可怕的声音可千万得是我的幻觉。
"What's wrong — is she hurt?" His voice was closer now, and he sounded upset. I wasn't imagining it. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping to die. Or, at the very least, not to throw up.
“怎么回事——她受伤了吗?”现在他的声音更近了,显得有些烦躁不安。这不是我的幻觉。我紧紧地闭着眼睛,真希望就这样死掉算了。或者,至少至少,不要吐出来。
Mike seemed stressed. "I think she's fainted. I don't know what happened, she didn't even stick her finger."
迈克显然感受到了压力:“我想她有点头晕。我不知道是怎么回事,她甚至还没开始扎手指呢。”
"Bella." Edward's voice was right beside me, relieved now. "Can you hear me?"
“贝拉。”现在爱德华的声音就在我后面,似乎是松了一口气。“你能听见我说话吗?”
"No," I groaned. "Go away."
“听不见。”我抱怨着。“走开。”
He chuckled.
他轻声地笑。
"I was taking her to the nurse," Mike explained in a defensive tone, "but she wouldn't go any farther."
“我本想带她去医务室”,迈克警觉地说,“但她根本走不了。”
"I'll take her," Edward said. I could hear the smile still in his voice. "You can go back to class."
“我能背她去”,爱德华说。我能感觉到他还在笑。“你可以会教室了。”
"No," Mike protested. "I'm supposed to do it."
“不。”迈克抗议道。“这应该是我的工作。”
