[00:01.02]Was that a strike? I whispered to Esme.
“那是一个好球吗？”我对艾思梅耳语道。
[00:05.01]If they don't hit it, it's a strike, she told me.
“如果他们不挥棒的话，这就是个好球。”她告诉我。
[00:08.59]Jasper hurled the ball back to Alice's waiting hand. She permitted herself a brief grin. And then her hand spun out again.
贾斯帕用力把球扔回爱丽丝正等着的手里。她容许自己简短地一笑，然后她的手再次旋转起来。
[00:16.12]This time the bat somehow made it around in time to smash into the invisible ball. 
这一次，那根球棒挥动起来，以某种方式及时击中了那个根本看不见的球。
[00:21.30]The crack of impact was shattering, thunderous; it echoed off the mountains  
撞击的声音有如山崩，隆隆作响。这声音回荡在山峦之间
[00:27.32]I immediately understood the necessity of the thunderstorm.
我立刻明白了雷雨天的必要性。
[00:32.01]The ball shot like a meteor above the field, flying deep into the surrounding forest.
那球像流星一样掠过场地上空，远远地落入周围的密林之中。
[00:37.08]Home run, I murmured.
“全垒打。”我喃喃低语道。
[00:40.50]Wait, Esme cautioned, listening intently, one hand raised. 
“再等等看，”艾思梅警告着，她专注地聆听着，一只手高高举起。
[00:46.04]Emmett was a blur around the bases, Carlisle shadowing him. I realized Edward was missing.
艾美特风一般环绕着所有的垒跑着，卡莱尔在向他示意。我意识到，爱德华不见了。
[00:52.06]Out! Esme cried in a clear voice. I stared in disbelief as Edward sprang from the fringe of the trees, 
“出局！”艾思梅用清亮的声音高喊着。我难以置信地看着爱德华从林海的边缘跃出，
[01:01.50]ball in his upraised hand, his wide grin visible even to me.
高举的手里攒着球，他欢畅的咧嘴大笑连我都看得清清楚楚。
[01:05.47]Emmett hits the hardest, Esme explained, but Edward runs the fastest.
“艾美特的击球最有力，”艾思梅解释道。“但爱德华跑得最快。”
[01:12.11]The inning continued before my incredulous eyes. It was impossible to keep up with the speed at which the ball flew, 
这一局在我充满怀疑的注视中继续着。我的目光根本跟不上那只球飞舞的速度，
[01:20.12]the rate at which their bodies raced around the field.
也跟不上他们在场地上奔跑的身影。
[01:22.27]I learned the other reason they waited for a thunderstorm to play when Jasper, trying to avoid Edward's infallible fielding,
当贾斯帕试图躲开爱德华滴水不漏的外野守卫，把一只地滚球击向卡莱尔的时候，
[01:30.05]hit a ground ball toward Carlisle. Carlisle ran into the ball, and then raced Jasper to first base. 
我了解到了他们需要等到雷雨天才能玩球的另一个理由。卡莱尔冲过去截住那只球，然后把贾斯帕送上了一垒。
[01:36.54]When they collided, the sound was like the crash of two massive falling boulders.
他们相撞的声音，听起来像是两块飞速落下的巨石撞击的声音。
[01:41.52]I jumped up in concern, but they were somehow unscathed.
我担心地跳了起来，但他们不知怎的都毫发无损。
