Chapter 1 First Sight——16

標籤：

I drove around the school, following the line of traffic.

我開車繞學校隨著交通線。

我開車穿過校園，緊跟著大部隊。

I was glad to see that most of the cars were older like mine, nothing flashy.

我很高興看見大多數的車都像我的一樣老舊，沒有光亮。

一點兒也不浮華

At home I‘d lived in one of the few lower-income neighborhoods that were included in the Paradise Valley District.

在家的時候我住在PVD幾個低收入鄰居的旁邊。

在鳳凰城我住在少數幾個由天堂穀區轄管的低收入區裡。

It was a common thing to see a new Mercedes or Porsche in the student lot.

一個新的M或者P在學生之中是非常常見的。

但在學生堆裡看到一輛平治或是保時捷是件尋常事

The nicest car here was a shinyVolvo, and it stood out. Still, I cut the engine as soon as I was in a spot, so that the thunderous volume wouldn‘t draw attention to me.

這裡最美的車就是一輛shinyVolvo了，它確實很出眾。我仍然儘力的減少引擎的響聲，以至於引擎雷聲一般的聲音，別人不會注意到我。

而在這裡，最好的車是一輛閃閃發光的沃爾沃，它顯得格外突出。我在陷入窘境以前迅速地關掉了引擎，防止它雷鳴般的轟鳴給我招來太多關注。

I looked at the map in the truck, trying to memorize it now; hopefully I wouldn‘t have to walk around with it stuck in front of my nose all day.

我在卡車中看著那個地圖，嘗試現在立即記住它，希望我不會必須一直被別人牽著鼻子走。

我可不想一整天都把它展在鼻子底下走路。

I stuffed everything in my bag, slung the strap over my shoulder, and sucked in a huge breath.

我肩膀背著所有的東西在我的包裡，然後深吸一口氣。

I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me. I finally exhaled and stepped out of the truck.

我能做到的，我騙自己。沒人會協助我的，我最終喘氣的走出卡車。

我能做到的，我對自己說著蒼白無力的謊言。沒有人正等著咬我一口。

I kept my face pulled back into my hood as I walked to the sidewalk,crowded with teenagers.

我讓我的臉埋在頭巾之中，我走到了年輕人的人群之中。

My plain black jacket didn‘t stand out, I noticed with relief.

我的黑色夾克不顯眼，我就放心了。

我把臉隱藏在兜帽下，走向擠滿了少男少女的行人路。我式樣簡潔的黑夾克在人群裡一點兒也不突出，這讓我感到欣慰。
