暮光之城 Twilight 精讲之一
贝拉&斯旺一直都不是一个合群的人，她也不愿意随波逐流，和其他时髦女孩为伍。当她的母亲再婚后，贝拉搬到她父亲居住的小镇上，但是她并不期望她能从这个小镇得到些什么。然而，当她遇到了神秘而英俊的爱德华&卡伦后，她的生活开始发生改变。爱德华聪慧机敏，而且能看透她的心。他们很快陷入了一场炽热的非凡爱情。说这个爱情非凡，是因为爱德华和其他男孩不同，他比山狮跑得还块，他徒手就能止住一辆正在运行的汽车。而且他自1918年以来就不曾让岁月碰触过。没错，他就是吸血鬼。不过，他并不吸食人血。对于爱德华来说，贝拉就是他等待了90年的灵魂伴侣。但是爱德华却必须努力控制自己，才能抵制住贝拉身上的香气对他吸血鬼本性的诱惑。于是他们就这么相爱了。可是，当镇上来了一群不速之客，贝拉被这些外来吸血鬼盯上后，爱德华必须和他们作斗争来拯救贝拉。该片讲述的是一个发生在吸血鬼和凡人之间的浪漫爱情故事，可以说是一个现代版的《罗密欧和朱丽叶》。
Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella. A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal.
17岁的贝拉在她的母亲再婚后，搬到了福克斯小镇和她的父亲查理居住。在新学校许多同学都向贝拉伸出了友谊之手，但是她却对神秘而冷漠的卡伦家族产生了特别的兴趣。生物课上贝拉坐在爱德华&卡伦旁边，但是爱德华似乎对贝拉很反感，这让贝拉很是迷惑。几天之后，当贝拉差点被一辆货车撞到时，爱德华突然出现，一把推开了货车。但是，爱德华拒绝对他的超能力做出解释，并让贝拉不要和他做朋友。
在进行了一番调查之后，贝拉发现爱德华原来是吸血鬼，虽然他只吸食动物的血。贝拉和爱德华爱上了对方。爱德华把贝拉介绍给他的吸血鬼家人。但是，贝拉很快被三个流浪的吸血鬼盯上了，这些吸血鬼把贝拉看作目标猎物并对她进行跟踪。爱德华和他的家人拼了命来保护贝拉。最后贝拉还是被吸血鬼詹姆斯抓住，并被他咬了一口。爱德华把詹姆斯打败了，并把毒血从贝拉伤口上吸出，防止她也变成吸血鬼。在吸血时，贝拉表示她愿意变成吸血鬼，但是爱德华拒绝了贝拉的这一想法。影片的结尾是流浪吸血鬼维多利亚在暗处望着跳舞的爱德华和贝拉，密谋为她的情人詹姆斯复仇。

暮光之城暮色
“当然不是。”我说着，因为他所选择的词语而皱起了眉。怪物，的确。“我梦想得更多的是永远和你在一起。”
编辑：shaun
“是的。”我耳语着，这样我的声音就没有机会破音了。如果他认为我只是在虚张声势，那他就要失望了。我确实已经做出了决定，而且我很确定。
编辑：shaun
我绷起脸，想要掩饰住自己的窘迫。“我不知道这些事情是怎么发生的。至少，对我来说，这比舞会要合理得多。”他依然咧嘴笑着。“这一点儿也不有趣。”我说道。
编辑：shaun
我知道，他认为是尴尬让我退缩的。“我猜这一定会让你发疯的——或者悲伤。”
编辑：shaun
我们安静了一分钟。他盯着月亮，而我盯着他。我希望我能找到办法来解释为什么我对正常人类的生命是那么的不感兴趣。
编辑：shaun
一等到我们独处，他立刻把我抱在怀里，然后抱着我穿过黑暗的场地，一直走到笼罩在草莓树的阴影下的一张长凳处。他坐在那里。
编辑：shaun
“他说你漂亮。”他最终继续说道，他的眉头皱得更深了。“对你现在的样子来说，这实在是一种侮辱。你远甚于美丽。”
编辑：shaun
当另一首舞曲开始的时候，爱德华的胳膊环绕着我。这对慢舞来说节奏有点快，但这似乎并没有难倒他。我把头靠在他胸口，感到心满意足。
编辑：shaun
“我不那么介意。”他如释重负地咧嘴一笑。他的目光掠过我的裙子，审视着。“那么，我应该告诉他你说让他见鬼去吗？”他满怀希望地问道。
编辑：shaun
“嘿，我很抱歉，你得来做这种事情，雅克布。”我道歉道。“无论如何，你弄到你的零件里，对吧？”
编辑：shaun
“是的。他有点……当你在凤凰城受伤的时候，他有点反应过度了。他根本不相信……”雅克布自觉地吞掉了话尾。
编辑：shaun
雅克布看上去并不乐意改变话题。他看向别处，又开始不自在起来。“他说这是一个和你交谈的‘安全’的地方。我敢发誓那个老男人一定是昏了头了。”
编辑：shaun
我看着舞池：舞池正中形成了一条很宽的裂口，那里有两对情侣正在优雅地转着圈。另一对舞者正迫切地移向房间的另一侧，给他们留出空间
编辑：shaun
我咬紧了牙。我想象不出来，泰勒怎么能这么爱妄想。在学校里，查理根本干涉不到，所以爱德华和我简直形影不离——除了那些罕见的阳光灿烂的日子。
编辑：shaun
我飞快地在眼下擦拭着，避免留下任何污迹。当我把手拿开的时候，我的手并没有被染黑。也许爱丽丝知道我会需要防水的睫毛膏。
