"My name is Edward Cullen," he continued. "I didn‘t have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan."

我的名字是Edward Cullen他说道，我上周没有机会介绍我自己，你一定是Bella Swan

My mind was spinning with confusion. Had I made up the whole thing?

我的心中转起了几个疑惑。难道整件事是我自己虚构出来的吗？

He was perfectly polite now. I had to speak; he was waiting. But I couldn‘t think of anything conventional to say.

他现在特别的礼貌。我不得不说，他正在等着。但是我想不到任何事情和对话可以说。

他现在礼貌得无懈可击。我必须说点什么：他在等着。但我想不出什么值得一说的内容。 

"H-how do you know my name?" I stammered.

你怎么知道我的名字的？我结巴的说道。

He laughed a soft, enchanting laugh.

他柔软的笑了，迷人的笑了。

"Oh, I think everyone knows your name. The whole town‘s been waiting for you to arrive."

哦，我认为每个人都知道了你的名字。所有的城镇的人都等着你的到来。

噢，我想每个人都知道你的名字。整个小镇都在等待你的到来。

I grimaced. I knew it was something like that.

我心里苦。我知道好像事情就是这样的。

我不由得露出苦相。我就知道是这样。

"No," I persisted stupidly. "I meant, why did you call me Bella?"He seemed confused.

不是吧。我坚持装傻，我的意思是为什么你叫我bella？他看起来疑惑了。

"Do you prefer Isabella?"

你叫lsabella？

你更喜欢别人叫你伊莎贝拉？” 

"No, I like Bella," I said.

不是喜事bella

"But I think Charlie — I mean my dad — must call me Isabella behind my back — that‘s what everyone here seems to know me as,"

但是我认为查理兹，我意思是我的父亲，一定会在背后叫我Isabella，这就是每个人知道我的原因

不，我喜欢贝拉这个名字。”我说。“但我想查理——我是说我爸爸——一定在背后叫我伊莎贝拉——所以这里的每个人似乎都只知道我叫伊莎贝拉。”。 

I tried to explain, feeling like an utter moron.

我尝试解释，感觉很苍白

我试图解释，感觉自己像是个彻头彻尾的笨蛋
