Its 【49】camouflage. 【50】Im the worlds most dangerous predator.【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：camouflagecamouflage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：Im the worlds 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。看暮光之城学英语Twilight之十 绵羊与狮子的相爱Edward: Everything about me invites you in, my voice, my face, even my smell.

Bella: What a stupid lamb. Edward: 【55】What a sick, masochistic lion.【51】词汇讲解：outrunoutrun就是run away from的意思，表示逃脱。它是一个及物动词，后面直接跟需要逃离的事物或者人。这个词还能表示“超出”，比方入不敷出，就能说His expenditure outran his income.【52】词组讲解：fight offfight off表示击退、驱赶，具体的和抽象的都能用这个词组。这边就是一个抽象的用法，并不是真正驱赶走爱德华，而是指贝拉难以抗拒他的美丽，fight off在这里作为“抗拒、克服”的解释。【53】口语讲解：It does not matter.常用的一个口语，表示没关系、无所谓。这里是贝拉表示“我不在意你有多危险”。【54】词汇讲解：Youre like my own personal brand of heroin.heroin就是海洛因，personal brand of是指为某人度身订造的。此处当然不是说贝拉像海洛因一样是毒品啦，而是表达爱德华对贝拉的感情挥之不去，怎么都摆脱不了，就像吸毒上了瘾一样。非常决绝、浪漫的一句话，写情书表白的首选哦。【55】词汇讲解：What a sick, masochistic lion.masochistic是一个心理学上的用词，意思是受虐狂(者)的，其实就是自讨苦吃啦；而前面的sick不是恶心、生病哦，而表示病态、变态的的意思。这一段都是男女主角之间的表白，也算是Twilight中的第一个高潮了吧？尤其是那个羊和狮子的描述，尤为经典。看暮光之城学英语Twilight之11 吸血鬼百科Edward: When we taste human blood, a sort of frenzy begins, and its almost impossible to stop.Bella: But Carlisle did.Edward: First with me and then with his wife, Esme.Bella: So is Carlisle the real reason that you dont kill people?Edward: No, hes not the only reason.
