"You don't see yourself very clearly, you know. I'll admit you're dead-on about the bad things," he chuckled² blackly, “你没有看清楚自己，你知道的。我承认在那些不好的事情上你完全正确，”他阴郁地轻笑着，

"but you didn't hear what every human male in this school was thinking on your first day." “可惜你没听到当你第一天来到这里的时候，学校里的每一个人类男性都在想什么。”

I blinked, astonished. "I don't believe it..." I mumbled³ to myself. 我眨了眨眼睛，惊讶不已。“我不敢相信……”我低声自言自语着。

"Trust me just this once—you are the opposite of ordinary." “相信我，哪怕就这一次——你完全是平凡的反义词。”

My embarrassment⁴ was much stronger than my pleasure at the look that came into his eyes when he said this. 我的窘迫运甚于他说这些时的眼神给我带来的愉悦。

I quickly reminded him of my original argument. 我赶紧提醒他我最初的论点。

"But I'm not saying goodbye," I pointed⁵ out. “可我没有说再见。”我指出来。

"Don't you see? That's what proves me right. I care the most, because if I can do it"—he shook his head, seeming to struggle with the thought— “你没看出来吗？这正是证明了我是对的。我的喜爱最深，因为如果我能做到”他摇了摇头，似乎在和那个想法斗争着——

"if leaving is the right thing to do, then I'll hurt myself to keep from hurting you, to keep you safe." “如果离开是正确的做法，那我宁可伤害自己以免伤害到你，只要能确保你的安全无虞。”

I glared. "And you don't think I would do the same?" 我怒目而视：“而你不认为我能做到同样的事？”

"You'd never have to make the choice." “你永远都不必作出这样的选择。”

Abruptly⁶, his unpredictable mood shifted again; a mischievous⁷, devastating⁸ smile rearranged his features. 突然，他喜怒无常的情绪又变了。一个顽劣的，讥讽的笑容重又出现在他脸上。

"Of course, keeping you safe is beginning to feel like a full-time⁹ occupation that requires my constant presence." “当然，确保你的安全无虞正在变成一件全时制的工作，需要我永不间断地守在你身旁。”

"No one has tried to do away with me today," I reminded him, grateful for the lighter¹⁰ subject. "今天可没人想要干掉我。”我提醒着他，很高兴能够转到一个相对轻松的话题。

I didn't want him to talk about goodbyes anymore. 我不想让他再谈到任何关于别离的问题了。

If I had to, I supposed I could purposefully put myself in danger to keep him close 如果我非得这样做的话，我猜想我会刻意让自己处于险境之中，好让他靠近我……

I banished¹¹ that thought before his quick eyes read it on my face. That idea would definitely get me in trouble. 在他敏锐的眼睛从我脸上看出这个念头以前，我把它赶出了脑海。这个想法显然会给我带来麻烦的。
