Chapter 1 First Sight——16

I drove around the school, following the line of traffic.

我开车绕学校随着交通线。

我开车穿过校园，紧跟着大部队。

I was glad to see that most of the cars were older like mine, nothing flashy.

我很高兴看见大多数的车都像我的一样老旧，没有光亮。

一点儿也不浮华

At home I'd lived in one of the few lower-income neighborhoods that were included in the Paradise Valley District.

在家的时候我住在PVD几个低收入邻居的旁边。

在凤凰城我住在少数几个由天堂谷区辖管的低收入区里。

It was a common thing to see a new Mercedes or Porsche in the student lot.

一个新的M或者P在学生之中是非常常见的。

但在学生堆里看到一辆奔驰或是保时捷是件寻常事

The nicest car here was a shinyVolvo, and it stood out. Still, I cut the engine as soon as I was in a spot, so that the thunderous volume wouldn't draw attention to me.

这里最美的车就是一辆shinyVolvo了，它确实很出众。我仍然尽力的减少引擎的响声，以至于引擎雷声一般的声音，别人不会注意到我。

而在这里，最好的车是一辆闪闪发光的沃尔沃，它显得格外突出。我在陷入窘境以前迅速地关掉了引擎，防止它雷鸣般的轰鸣给我招来太多关注。

I looked at the map in the truck, trying to memorize it now; hopefully I wouldn't have to walk around with it stuck in front of my nose all day.

我在卡车中看着那个地图，尝试现在立即记住它，希望我不会必须一直被别人牵着鼻子走。

我可不想一整天都把它展在鼻子底下走路。

I stuffed everything in my bag, slung the strap over my shoulder, and sucked in a huge breath.

我肩膀背着所有的东西在我的包里，然后深吸一口气。

I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me. I finally exhaled and stepped out of the truck.

我能做到的，我骗自己。没人会帮助我的，我最终喘气的走出卡车。

我能做到的，我对自己说着苍白无力的谎言。没有人正等着咬我一口。

I kept my face pulled back into my hood as I walked to the sidewalk,crowded with teenagers.

我让我的脸埋在头巾之中，我走到了年轻人的人群之中。

My plain black jacket didn't stand out, I noticed with relief.

我的黑色夹克不显眼，我就放心了。

我把脸隐藏在兜帽下，走向挤满了少男少女的人行道。我式样简洁的黑夹克在人群里一点儿也不突出，这让我感到欣慰。
