“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(shí)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)铮诼燙D。”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(bǔ)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(diǎn)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??破张堪杨^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。
