"Dammit, Edward! Where are you taking me?"
“该死，爱德华！你要带我去哪里？”
"We have to get you away from here — far away — now." He didn't look back, his eyes on the road. The speedometer read a hundred and five miles an hour.
“我们得带你离开这里——越远越好——就是现在。”他没有回头，他的眼睛注视着路面。里程计显示着现在是一百零五英里的时速。
"Turn around! You have to take me home!" I shouted. I struggled with the stupid harness, tearing at the straps.
“掉头！你得带我回家！”我喊道。我挣扎着想要从身上这套愚蠢的辔头里挣脱出来，用力撕扯着那些皮带。
"Emmett," Edward said grimly.
“艾美特。”爱德华厉声说道。
And Emmett secured my hands in his steely grasp.
艾美特用他钢铁般的手掌按住了我的手。
"No! Edward! No, you can't do this."
“不！爱德华！不，你不能这样做。”
"I have to, Bella, now please be quiet."
“我必须这样做，贝拉，现在，求你安静些。”
"I won't! You have to take me back — Charlie will call the FBI! They'll be all over your family — Carlisle and Esme! They'll have to leave, to hide forever!"
“我不！你得带我回去——查理会通知FBI的！他们会把你的家族彻底终结——卡莱尔和艾美特！他们会被迫离开，永远地藏起来。”
"Calm down, Bella." His voice was cold. "We've been there before."
“冷静下来，贝拉。”他的声音很冷。“我们从前就去过那里了。”
"Not over me, you don't! You're not ruining everything over me!" I struggled violently, with total futility.
“别对我指手画脚，你不能这样！你不能因为我而毁掉一切！”
Alice spoke for the first time. "Edward, pull over."
爱丽丝第一次说话了。“爱德华，开回去。”
He flashed her a hard look, and then sped up.
他瞥了她一眼，然后加速。
"Edward, let's just talk this through."
“爱德华，我们得好好谈谈这件事。”
"You don't understand," he roared in frustration. I'd never heard his voice so loud; it was deafening in the confines of the Jeep. The speedometer neared one hundred and fifteen. "He's a tracker, Alice, did you see that? He's a tracker!"
“你不明白，”他挫败地吼道。我从没听过他用那么大的声音说话，他的声音在越野车狭小的空间里回荡着，振聋发聩。现在里程计上的示数几近一百五十英里。“他是个追猎者，爱丽丝，你看见了吗？他是个追猎者！”
《暮光之城》与图书题目相得益彰的是，“暮光之城”系列别具匠心的封面设计则很好地传达出了每本书内在的深远寓意。斯蒂芬妮·梅尔指出《暮色》封面上的苹果代表“创世纪” 内善恶树上的禁果。象征贝拉和爱德华之间人类与吸血鬼禁忌的爱恋。在书的开头引用了“创世纪”217页的内容：“只是分别善恶树上的果子，你不可吃，因为你吃的日子必定死。”这同时也代表了贝拉如何分辨善恶——选择是否吃下那颗禁忌的果实，这比喻了选择跟爱德华在一起或远离他。
