暮光之城•暮色 第97期:第七章 梦魇(6)

[00:01.07]Only three entries really caught my attention: the Romanian Varacolaci, 只有三个条目真正地吸引了我的注意力：罗马尼亚的维拉可拉斯， [00:06.66]a powerful undead being who could appear as a beautiful, pale-skinned human, 一个强大的不死生物，通常以俊美的、肌肤苍白的人类形态出现; [00:10.90]the Slovak Nelapsi, a creature so strong 斯洛伐克的耐拉斯，一种极其强壮， [00:14.91]and fast it could massacre an entire village in the single hour after midnight, 速度奇快的生物，午夜之后它能在一个小时之内屠杀掉整个村子的人; [00:19.93]and one other, the Stregoni benefici. 还有一个，斯特岗尼亚，有益的吸血鬼， [00:23.65]About this last there was only one brief sentence. 关于最后这个吸血鬼的描述只有一个简短的句子。 [00:28.26]Stregoni benefici: An Italian vampire, said to be on the side of goodness, 斯特岗尼亚，有益的吸血鬼：一种意大利吸血鬼，据说是美德的保护者， [00:34.60]and a mortal enemy of all evil vampires. 是所有邪恶吸血鬼最致命的敌人。 [00:37.88]It was a relief, that one small entry, the one myth among hundreds 这个短短的传说实在是一种宽慰，在上百条传说之中， [00:43.29]that claimed the existence of good vampires. 这是仅有的宣称存在着有好的吸血鬼的一条。 [00:45.94]Overall, though, there was little that coincided with Jacob's stories or my own observations. 但是，总的说来，这里没有太多内容和雅克布的故事或者我的观察结果有关。 [00:52.07]I'd made a little catalogue in my mind as I'd read and carefully compared it with each myth. 我一边看，一边在心里列了一份小小的列表，用来跟每条传说逐一对比。 [00:58.20]Speed, strength, beauty, pale skin, eyes that shift color; 速度，强壮，美丽，苍白的肌肤，会变色的眼睛， [01:05.40]and then Jacob's criteria: blood drinkers, enemies of the werewolf, cold-skinned, and immortal. 还有雅克布的标准：饮血者，狼人的天敌，冰冷的肌肤，以及永恒的生命。 [01:13.01]There were very few myths that matched even one factor. 没有多少传说能符合至少一个的因素。 [01:16.88]And then another problem, one that I'd remembered from the small number of scary movies that I'd seen 还有另一个问题。我记得在我看过的寥寥无几的恐怖电影里提到过， [01:23.55]and was backed up by today's reading — vampires couldn't come out in the daytime, 再加上我今天所看的内容——吸血鬼不能在白天出没， [01:28.53]the sun would burn them to a cinder. They slept in coffins all day and came out only at night. 阳光会把他们烧成灰烬的。白天他们都睡在棺材里面，只在夜里出来活动。 [01:34.25]Aggravated, I snapped off the computer's main power switch, not waiting to shut things down properly. 一气之下，我啪地一下关掉了电脑的电源，不想再干等着按部就班地关闭电脑。 [01:40.82]Through my irritation, I felt overwhelming embarrassment. 在怒火之外，我更感到了压倒性的窘迫。 [01:44.36]It was all so stupid. I was sitting in my room, researching vampires. 这一切都太愚蠢了。我居然坐在自己的房间里，搜索着吸血鬼。 [01:48.68]What was wrong with me? I decided that most of the blame belonged on the doorstep of the town of Forks 我到底是怎么了?我决定把大部分的指责归咎于福克斯镇的门槛， [01:55.49]and the entire sodden Olympic Peninsula, for that matter. 还有整个湿漉漉的奥林匹克半岛。
