Finding the school wasn't difficult, though I'd never been there before. The school was, like most other things, just off the highway. It was not obvious that it was a school; only the sign, which declared it to be the Forks High School, made me stop. It looked like acollection of matching houses, built with maroon-colored bricks. There were so many trees and shrubs I couldn't see its size at first. Where was the feel of the institution? I wondered nostalgically. Where were the chain-link fences, the metal detectors?

找到学校没费什么事,虽然我以前从未去过。学校和许多其他建筑一样,就在公路边上。它不太看得出来是所学校;幸好看见了那块上面写着福克斯中学的牌子,我才停下来。它看上去就像一溜用栗色砖修建的配套用房。这里有许多树和灌木,一开始我没能看清学校的规模。这哪里有什么教育机构的感觉?我感觉倒是很怀旧。铁丝网栅栏在哪儿?还有金属探测器呢?

 

 

I parked in front of the first building, which had a small sign over the door reading front office. No one else was parked there, so I was sure it was off limits, but I decided I would get directions inside instead of circling around in the rain like an idiot. I stepped unwillingly out of the toasty truck cab and walked down a little stone path lined with dark hedges. I took a deep breath before opening the door.

我把车停在了第一栋楼前,楼上挂着一块小牌子,上面写有"行政办公室"字样。不见有别人把车停在这里,所以我断定这里肯定是不让停车的,不过我还是决定去问问路,而不要像个白痴似地在雨中绕圈子。我不情愿地从舒适温暖的驾驶室出来,上了一条有深色栅栏的小石路。开门之前,我深吸了一口气。

Inside, it was brightly lit, and warmer than I'd hoped. The office was small; a little waiting area with padded folding chairs, orange-flecked commercial carpet, notices and awards cluttering the walls, a big clock ticking loudly. Plants grew everywhere in large plastic pots, as if there wasn't enough greenery outside. The room was cut in half by a long counter, cluttered with wire baskets full of papers and brightly colored flyers taped to its front. There were three desks behind the counter, one of which was manned by a large, red-haired woman wearing glasses. She was wearing a purple t-shirt, which immediately made me feel overdressed.

里面灯火通明,而且比我想象得要暖和。办公室很小;有一个小小的接待区,放置着一些带衬垫的可折叠椅子,地上铺着橘色斑点的商务地毯,布告和奖彰混乱地贴在墙上,一个大立钟发出清晰而响亮的滴答声,在大塑料罐子里的盆景生长得异常茂盛,好像这里户外缺乏植被似的所以它们才在这里长得到处都是。这个房间被一个长柜台分割成两部分,柜台前凌乱地放着装满了纸张的金属网篓,台子的前面板上用胶带胡乱地贴着色彩明亮的广告传单。台子后面有三张办公桌,其中一张被一个大个子的,红发戴眼镜的女性所占据。她穿着一件紫色的体恤衫),这件体恤衫让我立刻觉得自己穿得太多了。

The red-haired woman looked up. "Can I help you?"

她抬头看着我:"你有事吗?"

"I'm Isabella Swan," I informed her, and saw the immediate awareness light her eyes. I was expected, a topic of gossip no doubt. Daughter of the Chief's flighty ex-wife, come home at last.

"我是伊萨贝拉·斯旺,"我通报了姓名,看见她的眼中立即闪过明白了的眼神,我料想,无疑我已经成为了这个小镇上闲聊时的话题,警长轻浮的前妻的闺女,终于回家来了。
