暮光之城?暮色 第95期:第七章 夢(mèng)魘(4)

[00:01.14]I dressed slowly in my most comfy sweats and then made my bed — something I never did. 我慢慢地穿上自己最舒適的汗衫,把床鋪好——我很少這樣做的。 [00:06.05]I couldn't put it off any longer. I went to my desk and switched on my old computer. 我再也不能把這事往后推了。我走到書(shū)桌前，打開(kāi)了我的舊電腦。 [00:11.88]I hated using the Internet here. 我討厭在這里上網(wǎng)。 [00:14.57]My modem was sadly outdated, my free service substandard; 我的調(diào)制解調(diào)器相當(dāng)過(guò)時(shí)了，我的免費(fèi)上網(wǎng)服務(wù)完全在標(biāo)準(zhǔn)之下。 [00:19.30]just dialing up took so long that I decided to go get myself a bowl of cereal while I waited. 光是撥號(hào)就得花上很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，所以在等待的時(shí)候，我決定先去給自己弄一碗麥片粥。 [00:24.79]I ate slowly, chewing each bite with care. 我吃得很慢，每一口都細(xì)細(xì)咀嚼。 [00:28.82]When I was done, I washed the bowl and spoon, dried them, and put them away. 吃完以后，我把碗和勺子洗好，擦干，然后放回去。 [00:33.49]My feet dragged as I climbed the stairs. 上樓時(shí)我故意磨磨蹭蹭地拖著步子走路。 [00:36.69]I went to my CD player first, picking it up off the floor 我先走向我的隨身聽(tīng)，把它從地上撿起來(lái)， [00:40.56]and placing it precisely in the center of the table. 精確地放到桌子正中央。 [00:42.84]I pulled out the headphones, and put them away in the desk drawer. 我把耳機(jī)拔下來(lái)，放回抽屜里。 [00:46.28]Then I turned the same CD on, turning it down to the point where it was background noise. 然后我把原來(lái)那張CD公放，把聲音調(diào)低到剛剛好能成為背景音樂(lè)的那個(gè)點(diǎn)上。 [00:51.73]With another sigh, I turned to my computer. 我又嘆了口氣，這才轉(zhuǎn)向我的電腦。 [00:54.91]Naturally, the screen was covered in pop-up ads. 自然，屏幕上全是彈窗廣告。 [00:57.99]I sat in my hard folding chair and began closing all the little windows. 我坐到我那張硬邦邦的扶手椅上，開(kāi)始把所有的小窗口關(guān)掉。 [01:02.66]Eventually I made it to my favorite search engine. 最后，我打開(kāi)了我最喜歡的搜索引擎。 [01:05.90]I shot down a few more pop-ups and then typed in one word. 我又關(guān)掉了另外幾個(gè)彈窗廣告，然后鍵入了一個(gè)詞。 [01:09.86]Vampire. 吸血鬼。 [01:11.16]It took an infuriatingly long time, of course. 當(dāng)然，這花了簡(jiǎn)直讓人氣憤的相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。 [01:14.83]When the results came up, there was a lot to sift through 當(dāng)結(jié)果出來(lái)的時(shí)候，還有很多內(nèi)容需要進(jìn)行篩選 [01:17.56]everything from movies and TV shows to role-playing games, 那些內(nèi)容從電影電視節(jié)目到角色扮演游戲， [01:21.33]underground metal, and gothic cosmetic companies. 黑市金屬，以及哥特妝伴游。 [01:24.75]Then I found a promising site 然后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)看上去比較可信的網(wǎng)址 [01:26.96]Vampires A—Z. I waited impatiently for it to load, 吸血鬼A-Z。我迫不及待地等著它打開(kāi)頁(yè)面， [01:31.82]quickly clicking closed each ad that flashed across the screen. 飛快地關(guān)閉屏幕上一閃而過(guò)的每個(gè)廣告。 [01:35.77]Finally the screen was finished — simple white background with black text, academic-looking. 最后，整個(gè)屏幕都清空了——簡(jiǎn)潔的白色背景和黑色標(biāo)題，看上去很有學(xué)術(shù)氛圍。 [01:41.06]Two quotes greeted me on the home page: 主頁(yè)上的兩段引述首先映入了我的眼簾。 [01:44.23]Throughout the vast shadowy world of ghosts and demons there is no figure so terrible, “自始至終，那個(gè)屬于幽靈與惡魔的浩瀚的黑暗世界根本沒(méi)有那么可怕， [01:51.01]no figure so dreaded and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, 根本沒(méi)有那么令人畏懼和憎惡，只是經(jīng)過(guò)了太多充滿(mǎn)恐懼的幻想的修飾。 [01:56.63]as the vampire, who is himself neither ghost nor demon, 正如吸血鬼，他既不屬于幽靈，也不屬于惡魔， [02:01.22]but yet who partakes the dark natures and possesses the mysterious and terrible qualities of both. 但還是帶著幾份著黑暗的本質(zhì)，兼有著那兩者的神秘與恐怖的特質(zhì)。 [02:08.61]Rev. Montague Summers 蒙塔古·薩默斯”
