贝拉生日宴上不慎划伤了自己,鲜血勾起了爱德华家人嗜血的本性。为了保护贝拉,爱德华带卡伦家族离开了福克斯小镇。爱德华走后,贝拉的世界彻底坍塌了。她开始尝试各种自虐式的疯狂举动,以求令爱德华回心转意。这一过程中,正处变身期的浪人雅各布一直陪伴在贝拉身边填补她的空白,却仍无法令她习惯没有爱德华的世界。贝拉跳崖被雅各布所救,爱德华误以为贝拉身故,向强大的沃尔图里(Volturi)家族挑衅以求一死,后被赶来的贝拉阻止。贝拉的出现令沃尔图里家族受到威胁,他们提出要求,除非贝拉成为吸血鬼,不然将除掉她。贝拉心甘情愿接受改造,但爱德华却提出了一个条件……
Bella: These violent delights have violent ends, and intheir triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss,consume.
贝拉:这种猛烈的欢乐往往预示着猛烈的结局,而在那充满胜利意味的死亡过程,正如火与火药的亲吻,一吻即逝……
Edward: I think 18 is a little young to start worryingabout that.
Bella: It’s one year older than you.
Edward: No, it isn’t. I’m 109.
Bella: Well, maybe I shouldn’t be dating such an oldman.
Edward: Mmm.
Bella: It’s gross. I should be thoroughly repulsed.
爱德华:我想18岁就开始担心那个问题(衰老)还太早了点吧。
贝拉:我比你大一岁。
爱德华:错,才不是。我109岁。
贝拉:呃,也许我不该跟一个糟老头约会。
爱德华:嗯~。
贝拉:太恶心了,我应该全身而退。
Edward: Bella, you give me everything just bybreathing.
爱德华:贝拉,你只要活着就让我拥有了一切。
Edward: You can’t trust vampires. Trust me.
爱德华:相信我,吸血鬼是不能相信的。
Edward: Bella, the only thing that can hurt me is you.And I don’t have anything else to be afraid of.
爱德华:贝拉,能伤到我的人就只有你,别的我什么都不怕。
Bella: I could protect you if you change me.
Edward: Bella, you already do protect me. You’re my onlyreason to stay alive, if that’s what I am. But it’s my job toprotect you.
贝拉:如果你改造我,我就可以保护你。
爱德华:贝拉,你已经在保护我了。你是我活下去的惟一理由,如果我也能算还活着的话。但是保护你是我的职责。
Carlisle: If you believed as Edward does, couldyou take away his soul?
卡莱尔:如果你相信如同他相信你,你愿意夺走他的灵魂吗?
Bella: It’s still my birthday. So can I ask one thing?Kiss me?
贝拉:现在还是我的生日,我能提个要求吗?吻我?
Edward: You just don’t belong in my world, Bella.
Bella: I belong with you.
爱德华:你不属于我的世界,贝拉。
贝拉:我属于你。
Bella: If this is about my soul, take it. I don’t want itwithout you.
贝拉:如果这是因为我的灵魂,你拿去吧!没有你,我留着灵魂又有什么用?
Bella: Alice, you’ve disappeared, like everything else.Now who else can I talk to? I’m lost. When you left, and he left,you took everything with you. But the absence of him is everywhereI look. It’s like a huge hole has been punched through my chest.But in a way I’m glad. The pain is my only reminder that he wasreal, that you all were.
贝拉:爱丽丝,你走了,一切都消失了。现在我还能跟谁谈心?我迷失了。你走了,他也走了,你们把我的全部都带走了。我到哪儿都找不到他的身影,就像我的胸口被打穿了一个巨洞。但在某种程度上,我感到庆幸。这种痛是惟一能提醒我他曾真实存在过的证明,是你们都曾存在过的证明。
Bella: Alice, I saw him. Maybe I’m crazy now. I guessthat’s okay. If a rush of danger is what it takes to see him, thenthat’s what I’ll find.
贝拉:爱丽丝,我看到他了。或许我现在是疯了,不过没关系。如果冒点险能让我看到他,那么这正是我要去做的。
Bella: Dear Alice, I wish I had your real address. I wishI could tell you about Jake. He makes me feel better. I mean, hemakes me feel alive. The hole in my chest, well, when I’m withJake, it’s like it’s almost healed, for a while.
贝拉:亲爱的爱丽丝,真希望我有你的邮箱地址,真希望能跟你谈谈杰克。他让我感觉好多了。我是说,他让我重新找回了活着的感觉。我胸口的那个洞——当杰克陪在我身边时——好像快要愈合了,至少暂时是这样。
Bella: [Fell off from motorcycle]You’re sort ofbeautiful.
Jacob: How hard did you hit your head?
贝拉:[从摩托车上摔下]你挺帅的。
雅各布:你的头撞得不轻吧?
Bella: Alice, is it possible that everything is true? Thefairy tales and horror stories? Is it possible that there isn’tanything sane or normal at all?
贝拉:爱丽丝,一切都有可能是真的吗?童话和恐怖故事都是真的吗?难道生活就不能正常点、平凡点?
Edward: I just couldn’t live in a world where you don’texist.
Bella: But you said...
Edward: I lied. I had to lie. But you believed me soeasily.
Bella: Because it doesn’t make sense for you to love me.I mean, I’m nothing. I’m human. I’m nothing.
Edward: Bella, you’re everything to me. You’reeverything.
爱德华:在一个没有你的世界,我活不下去。
贝拉:可你说……
爱德华:我骗你的。我没办法,而你那么轻易就相信了我。
贝拉:因为要你爱我太没道理了。我是说,我什么都不是,凡人一个,一无是处。
爱德华:贝拉,你对我而言意味着一切,你是我的全部。
Edward: Bella, the only reason I left was because Ithought I was protecting you. I needed you to have a chance at anormal, happy life.
Bella: It was so easy for you to leave.
Edward: Leaving you was the hardest thing I’ve done in100 years. And I swear I will never fail you again.
爱德华:贝拉,我离开的惟一原因就是我以为那样可以保护你。我希望你有机会过上正常的幸福生活。
贝拉:你是说走就走。
爱德华:离开你是我这百余年来做过的最艰难的决定。我发誓,我再也不会辜负你了。
Edward: I have one condition, if you want me to do itmyself.
Bella: What’s the condition?
Edward: And then forever.
Bella: That’s what I’m asking.
Edward: Marry me, Bella.
爱德华:我有一个条件,如果你要我来改造你的话。
贝拉:什么条件?
爱德华:然后你就可以永生。
贝拉:这正是我想要的。
爱德华:嫁给我,贝拉!
