Twilight

"It's twilight, the easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way... the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end." (Twilight, p.232-233/p.495) 



自從總算拿到
Twilight第一集後, 
我就開始進入了「Twilight瘋狂月」。 

一個多月的時間,我居然嗑完了這四本像磚頭一樣厚的小說。
 
其中,NEW MOONECLIPSE還在一個禮拜內讀完! 
連我自己都不明白這樣的瘋狂與動力究竟是從何而來…… 

每天下班回家,先把家務事都做完後,洗好澡刷好牙,
 
我就會窩在我那溫暖的床上,看著Twilight saga聽著Glenn Gould 
(扣掉顧老頭跟著吟唱的擾亂,真不得不說古典樂與英文小說真是絕配。

Well, what a dime novel! 

要讓人欲罷不能還真需要點特別的功力。
 
除了典型的吸血鬼與狼人的大戰戲碼(但也不過就是在搶Bella罷了) 
還有經典的Edward式對白也讓人欲罷不能。 
但有時Bella脫點線的人類思考也很能讓人會心一笑。 

“Immortality must grant endless patience.”(Twilight, p.421) 

喜歡第一集的甜,第二集的苦,第三集的喜與痛,又或者是第四集有時出現的膩。
 


New Moon (The Twilight Saga)

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me. (New Moon, p.93) 



還是最喜歡
New Moon 
除了有情節緊湊的「拯救愛德華計畫」, 
或許我還是對Bella陰鬱的暴躁心情比較對tone吧? 

那種懷抱著看不見未來的一絲絲希望,
那種寧可放棄自己來尋求慰藉的心情, 
那種不願面對現實痛苦與殘酷的否定。 

ECLIPSE TWILIGHT SAGA #3
"If I had found you, there isn't a doubt in my mind now I would have -- as soon as I discovered that you were that I was looking for -- gotten down on one knee and endeavored to secure your hand. I would have wanted you for eternity, even when the word didn't have quite the same connotations." (Eclipse, p.276)



也或許是喜歡那種「認定」的確認感。
 
那份穩穩握住的確實, 
那股肯定實在的永恆。 

所以,第三集出現
Bella疑似劈腿的情節真是讓人生氣到想摔書。 
怎麼可以讓愛你如此深的人傷得如此重? 
怎麼可以讓那份確實握在手中的愛,就這樣被踐踏在腳下? 
別說“Come back!”,還是喊出“Go away!”……  

BREAKING DAWN TWILIGHT SAGA #4

“It was sort of the pattern to my life -- I'd never been strong enough to deal with the things outside my control, to attack the enemies or outrun them. To avoid the pain. Always human and weak, the only thing I'd ever been able to do was keep going. Endure. Survive.” (Breaking Dawn, p.374)


雖然第四集已經接近「吸血鬼的縱慾外傳」,
 
也雖然情節慢條斯里到幾近讓人生膩的地步, 
還好EdwardBella之間的紅線還是牽緊緊,那份「認定」也還是屹立不搖。 

從之前的
Hero Edward到這集的Hero Bella 
這樣的轉變雖說不上突然,但也還能讓人欣慰。 

(
關於第四集,還是別爆太多雷。就只說
前頭是縱慾,中間是心理遊戲,後1/3是歡樂的家庭人倫,最後則是緊張刺激的生死決鬥。

結束
Twilight saga已經一個禮拜,卻覺得過了好久。 
不過還好接著又翻譯了Robert “Interview with the Vampire 
所以離開Twilight的感覺並不那麼痛苦。 

不過,套用
Edward所說的話,
No matter how perfect the novel is, it always has to end. 
(不管這部小說有多完美,它總是得有個結局。

所以,
就把那股確實、永恆的愛留在心裡,
 
就把那段令人欲罷不能的故事放在心上, 
想起來,會甜甜的。 
那樣的故事,就是有完美結局的故事。

Wow~~ 
What a dime novel!
What a perfect Edward!
