Chapter 1 First Sight——19

"I'm headed toward building four, I could show you the way…" Definitely over-helpful. "I'm Eric," he added.

我要去4号教学楼，我能给你带路。。。显然是热情过头了，我是艾瑞克，我接着说道。

I smiled tentatively. "Thanks."We got our jackets and headed out into the rain, which had picked up.

我暂时笑着，谢谢，我们拿着我们自己的夹克走进了雨里，已经渐渐小的雨。

I could have sworn several people behind us were walking close enough to eavesdrop.

我可以发誓几个人在我们后面走着近到都可以偷听了。

我可以发誓有好几个人紧跟在我们后面，近得都能偷听到我们对话。我希望我不要变得这样多疑。

I hoped I wasn't getting paranoid.

我希望我不会有幻想症。

"So, this is a lot different than Phoenix, huh?" he asked.

所以在凤凰城有很多不同吗？他问道

"Very.""It doesn't rain much there, does it?""Three or four times a year."

很多，没这里下的雨多是吗，一年下个三四次吧。

"Wow, what must that be like?" he wondered.

哇，那大多是是什么天气呢？他好奇道

“哇，那会是什么样的感觉？”他疑惑地问。

"Sunny," I told him.

夏天，我告诉他

"You don't look very tan.""My mother is part albino."He studied my face apprehensively, and I sighed.

你看起来不是完全褐色的皮肤，我妈妈是一个白化病，他担心的看着我的脸，和我的目光

他担心地审视着我的脸。我叹了口气。

It looked like clouds and a sense of humor didn't mix. A few months of this and I'd forget how to use sarcasm.

这看起来就像多云和一种幽默感没有混合在一起，这个月我都不会忘记怎么嘲讽的。

这里看上去乌云密布，和幽默感格格不入。几个月以后我就会忘记怎么说反讽话了。

We walked back around the cafeteria, to the south buildings by the gym.

我走到自助餐厅的后面，去了南边体育馆旁边的教学楼

Eric walked me right to the door, though it was clearly marked.

艾瑞克走到我右边的门，上面清楚的标记着。

埃里克让我直走到门口，尽管门上标得清清楚楚。

"Well, good luck," he said as I touched the handle.

好了，祝你好运，我握着门把手他说着

"Maybe we'll have some other classes together." He sounded hopeful.

可能我们将会有别的课一起上的，他的声音听起来很向往

I smiled at him vaguely and went inside.

我笑着对他含糊的走进去了。

我对他敷衍地一笑，走了进去。

The rest of the morning passed in about the same fashion.

早上剩下的时间在相同的时尚下度过了。

这个上午的余下时间都在同样的模式中度过。

My Trigonometry teacher, Mr. Varner, who I would have hated anyway just because of the subject he taught, was the only one who made me stand in front of the class and introduce myself.

我的三角学老师，MV，无论从哪个角度我都讨厌，就只是因为这么课是他教的，这也是唯一一个老师让我在课上让我在全班面前介绍我自己。

I stammered, blushed, and tripped over my own boots on the way to my seat.

我很害羞口吃，我的靴子都没有好意思离开我的位置。

我红着脸，结结巴巴地说完，然后在回到座位的路上还绊到了我自己。
