[00:00.24] It took only one trip to get all my stuff upstairs. 只用一趟，我所有的东西就全搬到楼上去了。 [00:03.27] I got the west bedroom that faced out over the front yard. 我住西边面向前院的那间卧室， [00:06.42] The room was familiar;it had been belonged to me since I was born. 这间屋子我很熟悉;我一生下来它就归了我。 [00:10.39] The wooden floor,the light blue walls,the peaked ceiling,the yellowed lace curtains around the window these were all a part of my childhood. 现代化的地板，深红色的墙壁，尖顶型的天花板，镶黑边的窗帘，这些都是我童年的一部分。 [00:19.38] The only changes Charlie had ever made were switching the crib for a bed and adding a desk as I grew. 查理惟一变了变的，就是随着我慢慢长大，把婴儿床换成了一般的床，添了一张写字台。 [00:25.58] The desk now held a secondhand computer,with the phone line for the modem stapled along the floor to the nearest phone jack. 现在这张写字台上有了一台二手电脑，外带一根连着调制解调器的电话线，电话线是顺着地板走的，另一头插在离得最近的电话插孔里。 [00:32.58] This was a stipulation from my mother,so that we could stay in touch easily. 这是妈妈提出来的一个要求，这样，我们联系起来就比较容易了。 [00:37.31] The rocking chair from my baby days was still in the corner. 我儿时的那把摇椅还放在那个角落里。 [00:40.08] There was only one small bathroom at the top of the stairs,which I would have to share with Charlie. 只有楼梯顶上惟一一个小浴室，我只好跟查理共用了。 [00:46.58] I was trying not to dwell too much on that fact. 我尽量别让自己老惦记着这事。 [00:49.08] One of the best things about Charlie is he does not hover. 查理最大的优点之一就是爽快。 [00:53.17] He left me alone to unpack and get settled,a feat that would have been altogether impossible for my mother. 他让我自己整理行李，这要是换了我母亲，是万万不可能的事情。 [01:00.12] It was nice to be alone,not to have to smile and look pleased. 一个人呆着真好，不必面露微笑让自己看起来很愉快; [01:04.35] a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape. 沮丧地凝视着窗外如注的大雨，掉几滴眼泪是一种解脱。 [01:11.04] I was not in the mood to go on a real crying jag, 我没有痛痛快快大哭一场的心境， [01:13.00] I would save that for bedtime,when I would have to think about the coming morning. 我会把它留到睡觉的时候，因为那个时候，我将不得不想一想来日的早上。 [01:17.15] Forks High School had a frightening total of only three hundred and fifty seven-now fifty eight-students;there were more than seven hundred people in my junior class alone back home. 福克斯高中部总共仅有357个——当然，现在是358个学生，这实在令人吃惊;而我家那里仅初中部就超过700人， [01:29.32] All of the kids here had grown up together their grandparents had been toddlers together. 这里所有的孩子都是一起长大的——他们的爷爷奶奶在蹒跚学步的时候就在一起。 [01:35.13] I would be the new girl from the big city,a curiosity,a freak. 我将成为从大城市新来的女孩，一个稀奇罕见、行为怪异的另类。 [01:41.33] Maybe,if I looked like a girl from Phoenix should,I could work this to my advantage. 或许，要是我有一副凤凰城女孩子应有的模样，我可以将它变成我的优势。 [01:46.16] But physically,I'd never fit in anywhere. 可身体不争气，我到哪儿都不适应。 [01:49.28] I should be tan,sporty,blond a volleyball player,or a cheerleader,perhaps all the things that go with living in the valley of the sun. 按说我应该是晒得黑黑的，像运动员，比方说，排球运动员啦，啦啦队长什么的，或许应该具有与住在阳光之谷的人相称的所有特点。

It took only one trip to get all my stuff upstairs. I got the west bedroom that faced out over the front yard. The room was familiar; it had been belonged to me since I was born. The wooden floor, the light blue walls, the peaked ceiling, the yellowed lace curtains around the window —these were all a part of my childhood.

只用一趟，我所有的东西就全搬到楼上去了。我住西边面向前院的那间卧室，这间屋子我很熟悉;我一生下来它就归了我。现代化的地板，深红色的墙壁，尖顶型的天花板，镶黑边的窗帘，这些都是我童年的一部分。

The only changes Charlie had ever made were switching the crib for a bed and adding a desk as I grew. The desk now held a secondhand computer, with the phone line for the modem stapled along the floor to the nearest phone jack. This was a stipulation from my mother, so that we could stay in touch easily. The rocking chair from my baby days was still in the corner.

查理惟一变了变的，就是随着我慢慢长大，把婴儿床换成了一般的床，添了一张写字台。现在这张写字台上有了一台二手电脑，外带一根连着调制解调器的电话线，电话线是顺着地板走的，另一头插在离得最近的电话插孔里。这是妈妈提出来的一个要求，这样，我们联系起来就比较容易了。我儿时的那把摇椅还放在那个角落里。

There was only one small bathroom at the top of the stairs, which I would have to share with Charlie. I was trying not to dwell too much on that fact.

只有楼梯顶上惟一一个小浴室，我只好跟查理共用了。我尽量别让自己老惦记着这事。

One of the best things about Charlie is he doesn't hover. He left me alone to unpack and getsettled, a feat that would have been altogether impossible for my mother. It was nice to be alone, not to have to smile and look pleased; a relief to stare dejectedly out the window at the sheeting rain and let just a few tears escape. I wasn't in the mood to go on a real crying jag. I would save that for bedtime, when I would have to think about the coming morning.

查理最大的优点之一就是爽快。他让我自己整理行李，这要是换了我母亲，是万万不可能的事情。一个人袋着真好，不必面露微笑让自己看起来很愉快;沮丧地凝视着窗外如注的大雨，掉几滴眼泪是一种解脱。我没有痛痛快快大哭一场的心境，我会把它留到睡觉的时候，因为那个时候，我将不得不想一想来日的早上。

Forks High School had a frightening total of only three hundred and fifty-seven — now fifty-eight — students; there were more than seven hundred people in my junior class alone back home. All of the kids here had grown up together — their grandparents had been toddlers together.

福克斯高中部总共仅有357个——当然，现在是358个学生，这实在令人吃惊;而我家那里仅初中部就超过700人，这里所有的孩子都是一起长大的——他们的爷爷奶奶在蹒跚学步的时候就在一起。

I would be the new girl from the big city, a curiosity, a freak.

我将成为从大城市新来的女孩，一个稀奇罕见、行为怪异的另类。

Maybe, if I looked like a girl from Phoenix should, I could work this to my advantage. But physically, I'd never fit in anywhere. I should be tan, sporty, blond — a volleyball player, or a cheerleader, perhaps — all the things that go with living in the valley of the sun.

或许，要是我有一副凤凰城女孩子应有的模样，我可以将它变成我的优势。可身体不争气，我到哪儿都不适应。按说我应该是晒得黑黑的，像运动员，比方说，排球运动员啦，啦啦队长什么的，或许应该具有与住在阳光之谷的人相称的所有特点。
