"I just wondered… if you could warn me beforehand the next time you decide to ignore me for my own good. Just so I'm prepared."
“我就是好奇。。。你能不能事先警告我一下，当你下一次决定忽视我之前。至少让我有所准备。”
I looked at the lemonade bottle as I spoke, tracing the circle of the opening with my pinkie finger.
我一边盯着柠檬水瓶一边说道，试验着要转多少圈才能用我的小指把瓶盖打开。
"That sounds fair." He was pressing his lips together to keep from laughing when I looked up.
“这听上去挺合理。”当我看过去的时候他闭上了嘴唇并且不笑了。
"Thanks."
“谢谢”
"Then can I have one answer in return?" he demanded.
“我能得到一个答案作为回复吗？”他命令道。
"One."
“一个”
"Tell me one theory."
“告诉我一个原则”
Whoops. "Not that one."
“不是那个”
"You didn't qualify, you just promised one answer," he reminded me.
“你没有意识到，你刚刚保证了一个回答，”他提醒我。
"And you've broken promises yourself," I reminded him back.
“但是你也破坏了你的约定，”我也提醒他。
"Just one theory — I won't laugh."
“就是这一个原则而已——我不会笑”
"Yes, you will." I was positive about that.
“不，你会的。”我对此非常肯定。
He looked down, and then glanced up at me through his long black lashes, his ocher eyes scorching.
他低下头，然后透过他黑色的睫毛瞟了我一眼，他锗色的眼睛燃烧着。
"Please?" he breathed, leaning toward me.
“可以吗？”他深息一口气，面对我压迫到。
