Chapter 4 Invitations——18

But they were all in, and Edward was speeding away.
但是他们都在里面了之后，Edward就加速走了。

I drove home slowly, carefully, muttering to myself the whole way.
我小心的慢慢开车到家里，一路上自言自语的嘟囔。

When I got home, I decided to make chicken enchiladas for dinner.
当我到家之后，我决定晚饭做墨西哥鸡肉吃。

It was a long process, and it would keep me busy.
这是一个漫长的过程，并让我保持忙碌。

While I was simmering the onions and chilies, the phone rang.
当我正在炖洋葱和辣椒的时候电话响了。

I was almost afraid to answer it, but it might be Charlie or my mom.
我没有勇气去接电话，但是电话那头可能是Charlie或者我妈妈。

It was Jessica, and she was jubilant; Mike had caught her after school to accept her invitation.
是Jessica，并且她很高兴；Mike放学后告诉她接受了她的邀请。

I celebrated with her briefly while I stirred.
我一边搅拌一边短暂的为她庆祝。

She had to go, she wanted to call Angela and Lauren to tell them.
她不得不挂电话了，她想要告诉Angela和Lauren他们。

I suggested — with casual innocence — that maybe Angela, the shy girl who had Biology with me, could ask Eric.
我随意且无辜的建议道，Angela这个和我一起上生物课的害羞女生能邀请Eric。

And Lauren, a standoffish girl who had always ignored me at the lunch table, could ask Tyler; I'd heard he was still available.
Lauren一个冷漠的女孩，总是在中饭桌上无视我，能邀请Tyler；我听到他还任然没有约。

Jess thought that was a great idea.
Jess想到这是个好主意。

Now that she was sure of Mike, she actually sounded sincere when she said she wished I would go to the dance. I gave her my Seattle excuse.
现在她能确定了Mike一起去舞会了，她声音比当时她说她希望我能去参加舞会的时候真诚了很多。我还是依旧给了她我要去西雅图的借口。
