“可憐的邁克,我敢打賭他一定氣瘋了。”
"He absolutely loathes me," Edward said cheerfully.
“他確實恨透我了。”愛德華樂滋滋地說。
"You can't know that," I argued, but then I wondered suddenly if he could.
“你不可能知道這些。”我反駁道。但隨即,我忽然開始懷疑他也許能。
"I saw his face — I could tell."
“我看見了他的表情——我敢這么說。”
"How did you see me? I thought you were ditching." I was almost fine now, though the queasiness would probably pass faster if I'd eaten something for lunch. On the other hand, maybe it was lucky my stomach was empty.
“你怎么會看見我的?我以為你翹課了。”我現(xiàn)在基本已經(jīng)沒事了,但我想,如果我午餐有吃東西的話,惡心的感覺可能會消失得更快。另一方面,或許我的胃空空如也是件好事。
"I was in my car, listening to a CD." Such a normal response — it surprised me.
“我坐在我的車?yán)?,在聽CD。”一個太過正常的答案——反而讓我吃驚不小。
I heard the door and opened my eyes to see the nurse with a cold compress in her hand.
我聽到門開了的聲音。我睜開眼睛,看見護(hù)士手里正拿著一個冰袋。
"Here you go, dear." She laid it across my forehead. "You're looking better," she added.
“親愛的,到這邊來。”她把冰袋敷在我的額頭。“你看上去好多了。”她補充道。
"I think I'm fine," I said, sitting up. Just a little ringing in my ears, no spinning. The mint green walls stayed where they should.
“我想,我已經(jīng)沒事了。”我說著,坐了起來。我還有一點耳鳴,但已經(jīng)不再感到暈眩了。四面干凈得像新刷的一樣的綠色墻面好好的待在它們應(yīng)該在的地方。
I could see she was about to make me lie back down, but the door opened just then, and Ms. Cope stuck her head in.
我看得出她想讓我躺回去,但就在這時,門開了。科普女士把頭伸了進(jìn)來。
"We've got another one," she warned.
“又來了一個。”她發(fā)出預(yù)告。
I hopped down to free up the cot for the next invalid.
我跳下床,把床騰出來給下一位傷員。
I handed the compress back to the nurse. "Here, I don't need this."
我把冰袋交還給那位護(hù)士:“給你,我不需要這個了。”
And then Mike staggered through the door, now supporting a sallow-looking Lee Stephens, another boy in our Biology class. Edward and I drew back against the wall to give them room.
然后,邁克步履蹣跚地走進(jìn)門來,現(xiàn)在他扶著的是一個臉色很差的男生。那是李·斯蒂芬斯,也是我們生物班上的。愛德華和我退到墻邊站著,給他們騰出地方。
