I was lucky; Mr. Banner wasn't in the room yet when I arrived.我非常幸运。当我到教室的时候班纳老师还没有到。
I settled quickly into my seat, aware that both Mike and Angela were staring at me.我飞快地坐到座位上，注意到迈克和安吉拉都在盯着我看。
Mike looked resentful; Angela looked surprised, and slightly awed.迈克看起来一脸忿恨，安吉拉则惊诧不已，还有的许敬畏。
Mr. Banner came in the room then, calling the class to order. He was juggling a few small cardboard boxes in his arms.然后，班纳老师走进教室，让全班都安静下来听他说话。
He put them down on Mike's table, telling him to start passing them around the class.他的手里艰难地抱着几个摇摇欲坠的小硬板纸盒。他把东西都放到迈克的桌子上，让他把纸盒子传给全班同学。
"Okay, guys, I want you all to take one piece from each box," he said as he produced a pair of rubber gloves from the pocket of his lab jacket and pulled them on.“好啦，同学们，我需要你们每一个人，从每一个盒子里各拿一片。”他一边说着，一边从我们的实验室大褂的口袋里扯出一对塑胶手套，戴在手上。
The sharp sound as the gloves snapped into place against his wrists seemed ominous to me.他用力拽着手套，把它们拉上手腕时所发出尖锐的嘎巴声对我来讲是个不祥的征兆。
"The first should be an indicator card," he went on, grabbing a white card with four squares marked on it and displaying it.“第一样，是一张指示剂卡片。”他继续说着，拿起一张四角上都有标识的白色卡片，向大家展示。
"The second is a four|pronged applicator —" he held up something that looked like a nearly toothless hair pick "— and the third is a sterile micro|lancet."“第二样，是四齿涂敷器——”他举起的东西看着更像是一个几乎没锯齿的光滑的剃毛刀片。“——然后，第三样是一把无菌微型刺血针。”
He held up a small piece of blue plastic and split it open.他举起一个小小的蓝色塑料包装，把它撕开。
The barb was invisible from this distance, but my stomach flipped.在这个距离我不可能看见针上的倒钩，但我的胃还是翻腾起来。
"I'll be coming around with a dropper of water to prepare your cards, so please don't start until I get to you."“我会在教室里走动，用滴管往你的卡片上滴一滴水，如此卡片才算筹备好，所以在我走到你那里以前先别开始。”
He began at Mike's table again, carefully putting one drop of water in each of the four squares.他还是先从迈克那桌开始，小心地往每张卡片的四个角各滴了一滴水。
"Then I want you to carefully prick your finger with the lancet…" He grabbed Mike's hand and jabbed the spike into the tip of Mike's middle finger.“然后，我要你们小心地用刺血针扎一下手指头……”他抓起迈克的手，把针扎进了迈克的中指指头。
Oh no. Clammy moisture broke out across my forehead.哦不。我的前额上开始渗出粘湿的冷汗。
