Bella : I know what you are.

Edward : Say it. 【47】Out loud. Say it.

Bella : Vampire.

Edward : Are you afraid?

Bella : No.

Edward : Then ask me the most basic question. What do we eat? Bella : You won't hurt me. Where are we going?

Edward : Up the mountain. 【48】Out of the cloud bank. You need to see what I look like in the sunlight. This is why we don't show ourselves in sunlight. People would know we're different. This is what I am.

【46】词汇解析：Your skin is pale white and ice-cold

注意这里的两个搭配：pale white 苍白；ice-cold 冰冷。

英文里面有不少复合形容词的搭配和中文里面的很是相似，可以收集一下，写作之时会给文章增色不少。

【47】口语词组：Out loud.

我们平时说“说出声来”都会用speak aloud ，而这里爱德华用一种命令的口气，说的是“out loud”。

【48】词组解析：Out of the cloud bank.

cloud bank我们平时用得还真不多，它其实是高空云层的意思。

bank 我们知道表示银行，它还有聚集了很多某样东西的场所，这里自然是指聚拢了很多的云咯。

【49】词汇解释：camouflage

camouflage 表示迷彩的颜色，而这里则是一个引申的意义，表示伪装。很容易想到其中的联系吧？

【50】词汇讲解：I'm the world's most dangerous predator.

predator 是指肉食性的动物，老虎狮子豹那些个，还有一个引申义是解释成掠夺者。 这里翻译的话，两者都不是很恰当，不妨理解成“嗜血怪物”更合适。
