When I rounded the last corner, onto Cactus, I could see the studio, looking just as Iremembered it. The parking lot in front was empty, the vertical blinds in all the windowsdrawn. I couldn't run anymore I couldn't breathe; exertion and fear had gotten the best of me.I thought of my mother to keep my feet moving, one in front of the other.
當(dāng)我轉(zhuǎn)過最后一個(gè)街角,沖進(jìn)仙人掌街的時(shí)候,我能看到那間舞蹈教室了,它看上去依然是我記憶中的那個(gè)樣子。教室門前的停車位是空的,屋里所有的豎式窗簾都拉了下來。我跑不動(dòng)了我甚至沒法呼吸,筋疲力盡和恐懼奪走了我的優(yōu)勢(shì)。我想著我的母親,這才能讓自己邁動(dòng)步子,一步接一步地往前走。
As I got closer, I could see the sign inside the door. It was handwritten on hot pink paper; itsaid the dance studio was closed for spring break. I touched the handle, tugged on itcautiously. It was unlocked. I fought to catch my breath, and opened the door.
當(dāng)我走得更近些的時(shí)候,我看到了門里貼著的那張告示。那是一張手寫的,寫在深粉紅色的紙張上的告示,上面說舞蹈教室因?yàn)榇杭俣鴷簳r(shí)關(guān)閉。我伸手去摸扶手,警惕地?cái)Q動(dòng)它。門沒鎖。我強(qiáng)迫自己穩(wěn)住呼吸,然后打開了門。
The lobby was dark and empty, cool, the air conditioner thrumming. The plastic molded chairswere stacked along the walls, and the carpet smelled like shampoo. The west dance floor wasdark, I could see through the open viewing window. The east dance floor, the bigger room, waslit. But the blinds were closed on the window.
大廳里陰暗又空曠,很是涼爽,空調(diào)嗡嗡響著。 那些塑料扶手椅靠墻疊放著,地毯聞起來像是洗發(fā)水的味道。西面的舞蹈室里很暗,我能從那扇敞開的觀察窗里看到那整個(gè)房間。東邊的那間更大的舞蹈室的燈亮著,但那邊的窗子的簾子拉了下來。
Terror seized me so strongly that I was literally trapped by it. I couldn't make my feet moveforward.
恐懼牢牢地抓住我,我簡(jiǎn)直要被困在其中了。我沒法讓自己邁動(dòng)步子。
And then my mother's voice called.

“貝拉?貝拉?”一模一樣的充滿了竭斯底里的恐懼的聲音。我奮力沖向那扇門,沖向她的聲音。
Bella, you scared me! Don't you ever do that to me again! Her voice continued as I ran into thelong, high-ceilinged room.
“貝拉,你嚇壞我了!你可不能再這樣對(duì)我了!”當(dāng)我奔進(jìn)那間長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的,天花板很高的房間時(shí),她的聲音繼續(xù)說著。
I stared around me, trying to find where her voice was coming from. I heard her laugh, and Iwhirled to the sound.
我環(huán)顧四周,試圖找出她的聲音是在哪里發(fā)出來的。我聽到了她的笑聲,急忙轉(zhuǎn)過去面向她的聲音。
There she was, on the TV screen, tousling my hair in relief. It was Thanksgiving, and I wastwelve. We'd gone to see my grandmother in California, the last year before she died. We wentto the beach one day, and I'd leaned too far over the edge of the pier. She'd seen my feetflailing, trying to reclaim my balance. Bella? Bella? she'd called to me in fear.
她在那里,在電視屏幕上,如釋重負(fù)地?fù)崤业陌l(fā)。那是在感恩節(jié),我那時(shí)十二歲。我們?nèi)タ醋≡诩永D醽喌耐庾婺?,那是在她去世的前一年。有一天我們?nèi)チ撕?,我靠得離碼頭的邊緣太遠(yuǎn)了。她看到我的腳有些不穩(wěn),試圖抓住我讓我保持平衡。“貝拉?貝拉?”她驚恐地沖我大喊。
