I looked up into his deep gold eyes, became befuddled, and, as usual, blurted out the truth.[qh]
我抬起头，看进他深邃的金色双眸里，立刻被迷住了。然后，像往常一样，实话脱口而出。[qh]
"I'm trying to figure out what you are."[qh]
“我正在努力思考你到底是什么人。”[qh]
His jaw tightened, but he kept his smile in place with some effort.[qh]
他下巴一紧，但还是努力保持着恰如其分的微笑。[qh]
"Are you having any luck with that?" he asked in an offhand tone.[qh]
“有什么进展吗？”他唐突地问道。[qh]
"Not too much," I admitted.[qh]
“没什么进展。”我承认道。[qh]
He chuckled. "What are your theories?"[qh]
他轻笑着：“那你的理论依据是什么？”[qh]
I blushed. I had been vacillating during the last month between Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker.[qh]
我脸红了。这一个月来我一直在布鲁斯·维尼（蝙蝠侠）和彼得·帕克（蜘蛛侠）之间举棋不定。[qh]
There was no way I was going to own up to that.[qh]
但我实在不敢承认自己的这些念头。[qh]
"Won't you tell me?" he asked, tilting his head to one side with a shockingly tempting smile.[qh]
“你不想告诉我吗？”他问道，嘴角挂着一抹太过诱人的微笑，慢慢地把头侧过我这边来。[qh]
I shook my head. "Too embarrassing."[qh]
我用力摇头：“太丢人。”[qh]
"That's really frustrating, you know," he complained.[qh]
“你知道，这太让人沮丧了。”他抱怨着。[qh]
"No," I disagreed quickly, my eyes narrowing,[qh]
“不。”我很快地否认了，眼睛眯缝起来。[qh]
"I can't imagine why that would be frustrating at all—just because someone refuses to tell you what they're thinking,[qh]
“我完全无法想象这为什么会让人沮丧——仅仅因为某些人拒绝告诉你他们在想什么[qh]
even if all the while they're making cryptic little remarks specifically designed to keep you up at night wondering what they could possibly mean...[qh]
即便他们一直被某人所说的某些具有特别意味的只言片语困扰着，整夜不睡地揣测着某人可能暗示着……[qh]
now, why would that be frustrating?"[qh]
所以，现在，这为什么会让人沮丧呢？”[qh]
He grimaced.[qh]
他扮了个鬼脸。[qh]
"Or better," I continued, the pent-up annoyance flowing freely now,[qh]
“或者更有甚者，”我继续说道，被压抑已久的怨言现在全都毫无节制地爆发出来了。[qh]
"say that person also did a wide range of bizarre things—from saving your life under impossible circumstances one day to treating you like a pariah the next,[qh]
“这样说吧，某人做了一大堆异乎寻常的事——从某天在极不可能的情形下救了你的命，到紧接着就把你视如草芥[qh]
and he never explained any of that, either, even after he promised. That, also, would be very non-frustrating."[qh]
而且他还从不对这些行径作任何解释，甚至是在他承诺过以后。这些，同样地，丝毫不让人觉得沮丧。”[qh]
"You've got a bit of a temper, don't you?"[qh]
“你正在气头上，对吧？”[qh]
"I don't like double standards."[qh]
“我不喜欢双重标准。”[qh]
We stared at each other, unsmiling.[qh]
我们都板着脸，看着对方。[qh]
He glanced over my shoulder, and then, unexpectedly, he snickered.[qh]
他的目光越过了我的肩膀，然后，毫无预兆地，他窃笑起来。[qh]
"What?"[qh]
“干嘛？”[qh]
"Your boyfriend seems to think I'm being unpleasant to you—he's debating whether or not to come break up our fight." He snickered again.[qh]
“你的男朋友似乎认为我在惹你生气——他正在思考着要不要过来结束我们的争吵。”他又窃笑起来。[qh]
