    \\\"i am the demon king, the physical manifestation of the darkness lurking in some nameless namekian\\u0027s heart.\\\"(我是魔王,是那個無名邪惡得心髒中黑暗的具象化。)

    \\\"i\\u0027m my own man, with my own desires and goals.\\\"(我是我自己的人,有著自己的欲望和目標。)


    \\\"gohan harkened back to his conversation with arepa, where he dered he would defeat frieza for his own self.\\\"(悟飯迴想起他與阿瑞帕的對話,他在那裏宣稱他會為了自己而擊敗弗利薩。)

    \\\"i didn\\u0027t really know just how powerful they actually were.\\\"(我並不真正知道他們實際上有多強大。)


    \\\"as gohan moved his queen in front of the king, he wondered if vegeta had ever expected him to surpass him.\\\"(當悟飯把他的皇後移到國王前時,他想知道貝吉塔是否曾經預料到他會超過他。)

    \\\"he was stuck – he could move his queen in front of the king to protect it, but that would be dying the inevitable.\\\"(他陷入了困境-他可以把他的皇後移到國王前保護它,但那隻會推遲必然的結果。)

    \\\"use them.\\\"(好好利用它們。)


    \\\"whatever…\\\" gohan marched to the lobby, wanting nothing to do with either meditation or polo.(無所謂……悟飯走向大廳,不想與冥想或悟空有任何關係。)


    \\\"inside the lobby, he stopped at the kitchen table and stared at the blue scouter and the red bag of dragon balls.\\\"(在大廳裏,他停在廚房的桌子旁,盯著藍色的探測儀和紅色的龍珠袋。)

    \\\"gohan!\\\" he shouted.(“悟飯!”他喊道。)


    \\\"he didn\\u0027t turn around.\\\"(他沒有轉身。)


    \\\"polo patiently exhaled, staying perfectly still.\\\"(悟空耐心地唿出一口氣,保持完全靜止。)

    \\\"his eyes were bloodshot, his brows curled in a forlorn whimper.\\\"(他的眼睛布滿了血絲,眉毛緊鎖,發出淒涼的嗚咽聲。)


    \\\"he had been sitting in that same position for days, refusing to eat, sleep, or engage with polo at all.\\\"(他已經坐在那個同樣的位置上好幾天了,拒絕進食、睡覺或與悟空交流。)

    \\\"this is part of the process,\\\" polo calmly replied.(“這是過程的一部分,”悟空平靜地迴答道。)


    \\\"in this void, you have nothing to distract you.\\\"(“在這個虛空中,你沒有任何分心的事物。”)


    \\\"it\\u0027s just you and your thoughts, with no way of leaving the darkest corners.\\\"(“隻有你和你的思緒,無法離開最黑暗的角落。”)


    \\\"it\\u0027s not doing anything!\\\" gohan shouted.(“這一點用都沒有!”悟飯喊道。)


    \\\"you have to confront your lowest thoughts.\\\"(“你必須麵對自己最低的想法。”)


    \\\"you don\\u0027t think i wake up in misery every day, either?\\\" polo asked.(“你不覺得我每天醒來都是痛苦的嗎?”悟空問道。)


    \\\"constant defeat at your father\\u0027s hands, embarrassment at your hands, wondering if i truly have what it takes.\\\"(“不斷被你父親打敗,在你手中感到尷尬,不知道我是否真的擁有必要的能力。”)

    \\\"his pupils flickered gold, which made polo swallow.\\\"(他的瞳孔閃爍著金色,讓悟空咽了口水。)

    \\\"the namekian evaded the punch thrown his way by a mere inch and flew away as fast as he could while gohan broke his fall.\\\"(這個純粹的一英寸閃避了他的一擊,而悟飯摔倒了,他盡可能地飛快飛走。)


    \\\"the rabid teenager had closed the gap soon after, however, and mmed polo into the floor with two fists.\\\"(然而,這個狂

    \\\"when polonded, gohan sted down with both feet extended, intending to just stomp him into mush.\\\"(悟空著陸時,悟飯用兩隻伸出的腳猛烈地猛踩,打算將他踩成肉泥。)


    \\\"at the veryst second, polo jumped out of the way, making gohan crashnd with his feet stuck in the ground.\\\"(在最後一刻,悟空跳了開來,讓悟飯在腳卡在地麵上的情況下墜落。)


    \\\"taking advantage, polo outstretched his arm and squeezed gohan\\u0027s tail, bringing him down instantly.\\\"(趁機,悟空伸直了胳膊,捏住了悟飯的尾巴,瞬間將他製服。)


    \\\"polo pulled him in with his retracting arm, clutching his burning chest with the other hand.\\\"(悟空用收迴的胳膊將他拉了進來,另一隻手緊緊抓住他灼熱的胸口。)


    \\\"he only had gohan\\u0027s erratic, error-prone mind state in that form to thank for even being alive.\\\"(他隻能感謝悟飯那種不穩定、容易出錯的心態,才能活下來。)


    \\\"you have to get a hold of yourself,\\\" polo ordered as he felt gohan\\u0027s energy falling down to normal.(“你必須控製住自己,”悟空命令道,感受到悟飯的能量恢複正常。)

    \\\"he had been snapping back to normal faster, at least.\\\"(至少他恢複正常的速度更快了。)

    \\\"well, you have me there,\\\" polo quipped, though he was still serious.(“好吧,你說得對,”悟空嘲笑道,盡管他仍然很認真。)


    \\\"but if you want to continue living, then that means acknowledging your past actions, knowing the reason for those actions, and knowing who you are now.\\\"(“但是,如果你想繼續活下去,那就意味著承認你過去的行為,了解這些行為的原因,知道你現在是誰。”)


    \\\"frieza\\u0027s army must have been a personal hell, but it\\u0027s enabled you to be stronger.\\\"(“弗利薩的軍隊一定是個人的地獄,但它使你變得更強大。”)

    \\\"i\\u0027ll still be a murderer,\\\" gohan spat through his teeth.(“我依然是一個殺人犯,”悟飯咬牙切齒地說道。)


    \\\"then change your reputation,\\\" polo growled.(“那就改變你的名聲,”悟空咆哮道。)

    \\\"so it seems.\\\"(“看來是這樣。”)


    they stayed like that, just sitting down in silence; there was no bickering, no fighting, just peace.(他們就這樣靜靜地坐著,沒有爭吵,沒有打鬥,隻有平靜。)


    \\\"polo intermittently looked up at gohan, just to see if he was still restless.\\\"(“悟空時不時抬頭看著悟飯,隻是為了看看他是否還是那麽焦躁不安。”)


    \\\"from the outside, he seemed to at least try considering polo\\u0027s advice.\\\"(從外表上看,他似乎至少試著考慮了悟空的建議。)

    gohan nodded.(悟飯點了點頭。)


    \\\"but from the sound of it, vegeta is several things to you at once.\\\"(“但從你的說法來看,貝吉塔對你來說同時具有多種身份。”)


    \\\"if you killed frieza, you would be happy.\\\"(“如果你殺了弗利薩,你會感到高興。”)


    \\\"if you killed vegeta, even if you wanted to, you\\u0027d ultimately hate yourself for it.\\\"(“即使你想殺貝吉塔,你最終也會憎恨自己。”)


    \\\"you need to learn how to bnce it all out.\\\"(“你需要學會如何平衡這一切。”)


    gohan shut his eyes, exhaling through his nose.(悟飯閉上眼睛,通過鼻子唿出氣來。)


    \\\"i guess.\\\"(“我想是吧。”)


    he kept his eyes closed as a yellow glow enveloped his body.(他閉著眼睛,全身籠罩在黃色的光芒中。)


    from the way his ki felt, polo could discern he was making a stronger effort to meditate.(從他的氣感覺來看,悟空可以斷定他正在更努力地冥想。)


    for once, he was actually getting through.(這一次,他真的取得了進展。)


    gohan flew as fast as he could, evading the stretchy green arms pursuing his legs.(悟飯以最快的速度飛行,躲避著追逐他的拉長的綠色手臂。)


    the further he flew, the chillier his body became.(他飛得越遠,他的身體就越寒冷。)


    he turned around and fired a st, but polo easily kicked it away.(他轉身發射了一道能量波,但悟空輕易地踢開了它。)


    a split-secondter, the namekian was right in front of him and delivered a brutal kick to his jaw.(一刹那後,這個納美克星人就站在他麵前,給了他一記狠狠的踢擊。)


    gohan dropped down, breaking his fall with a flip tond on his feet.(悟飯落了下來,用翻身來緩衝著落,穩穩地站在腳上。)


    it was month nine, from gohan\\u0027s estimation.(從悟飯的估計來看,這已經是第九個月了。)


    he could feel his body growing, and it had often been a painful experience even if he came out stronger for it.(他能感覺到自己的身體在成長,這常常是一種痛苦的經曆,盡管他因此變得更強大。)


    a month earlier, polo had to zap a new uniform for him after his body ripped through the older one.(一個月前,悟空的身體撕裂了舊的製服,悟空不得不給他傳送了一套新的製服。)


    now 14 years old, his voice was just a tad deeper and scratchier too.(現在14歲了,他的聲音稍微低沉和嘶啞了一些。)


    but that wasn\\u0027t the most annoying development.(但這不是最令人討厭的事情。)


    with ample time to train in heavier gravity and erratic conditions while gohan meditated, polo had bee a truly worthy opponent.(在悟飯冥想時,悟空有充足的時間在更重的重力和不穩定的環境中進行訓練,因此悟空已經成為了一個真正的強大對手。)


    save for gohan\\u0027spses of rage that drove him to that insidious transformation, their spars were no longer one-sided beatdowns.(除了悟飯因憤怒而發生的那種邪惡的轉變之外,他們的格鬥已經不再是一方麵的壓倒性勝利。)


    despite all of his identity issues, gohan knew one thing for certain – he was a saiyan, and wouldn\\u0027t ept anybody besting him in battle.(盡管悟飯存在著諸多身份


    問題,但他確信一件事——他是一個賽亞人,不會接受任何人在戰鬥中勝過他。)


    and thus, he flew right back at polo.(因此,他直接向悟空飛去。)


    the two warriors in purple met in a sh, exchanging a flurry of attacks with petitive smirks on their faces.(這兩位身著紫色的戰士在一次衝突中相遇,他們的臉上帶著競爭的笑容,交換著一連串的攻擊。)


    in many ways, the constant sparring had dulled their hostility.(從許多方麵來看,不斷的切磋已經減輕了他們之間的敵意。)


    unfortunately for gohan, the increasingly cold weather had taken a toll, sapping him of his energy.(不幸的是,越來越冷的天氣對悟飯產生了影響,耗盡了他的能量。)


    polo, on the other hand, hadn\\u0027t even registered the weather thus far and knocked gohan all the way down to the floor.(另一方麵,悟空甚至沒有注意到這種天氣,把悟飯打倒在地。)


    hended on his feet again, panting heavily as he looked up.(他再次站起來,大口喘著氣,抬頭看著前方。)


    vapors left his mouth with every breath.(每一次唿吸,他的嘴裏都冒著水蒸氣。)


    the namekian phased in front of him and aimed a kick at his chest.(納美克星人出現在他麵前,朝他的胸口踢去。)


    while gohan blocked it with his forearm, he flew away in lieu of triggering another exchange of punches and kicks.(盡管悟飯用前臂擋住了它,但他卻飛離了現場,以避免引發另一輪拳腳交鋒。)flying brought gohan further into the cold depths, however.(然而,飛行將悟飯帶入了更加寒冷的深處。)


    his entire body shivered, having never experienced conditions this frigid in his time in the room.(他的整個身體顫抖著,從未在房間裏經曆過如此寒冷的條件。)


    with his energy running low, he could do little to resist the punch polo delivered to his stomach, falling to the floor while feeling bile rise to his throat.(能量所剩無幾,他幾乎無力抵抗悟空對他的一擊,摔倒在地上,感覺膽汁上湧到喉嚨。)


    \\\"you humans and your skin,\\\" polo taunted.(\\\"你們人類和你們的皮膚,\\\"悟空譏笑道。)


    \\\"c-can\\u0027t handle a little chill.\\\"(\\\"連一點點寒冷都受不了。\\\")


    of course, even polo had a slight shiver, which underscored just how absurdly cold the atmosphere had bee.(當然,即使是悟空也微微顫抖了一下,這凸顯了大氣層變得多麽寒冷。)


    loathe to put up with his mockery, gohan tried leaping up to prove him wrong, but there was only one problem – his foot wouldn\\u0027t leave the ground.(悟飯不願忍受他的嘲笑,試圖跳起來證明他錯了,但問題隻有一個——他的腳無法離開地麵。)


    when he looked down, his gut wrenched.(當他低頭看時,他的內心感到絞痛。)


    ice had taken hold of his foot.(冰已經固定住了他的腳。)


    he tried to break free, but it wouldn\\u0027t budge.(他試圖掙脫,但它不動。)


    polo flew at him, but gohan frantically sted him to send him away.(悟空飛向他,但悟飯瘋狂地發射能量把他擊退。)


    the ice began to spread through his entire leg, even though he could only feel it around his foot.(冰開始蔓延到他整條腿,盡管他隻能感覺到它圍繞著他的腳。)


    he looked at his arms – both now enshrouded in ice.(他看著自己的手臂——現在都被冰覆蓋著。)


    shrieking in panic, gohan somehow broke his foot free from his shoe and flew as far away from the era as he could, as fast as he could.(悟飯驚慌地尖叫著,不知怎麽地將腳從鞋子中掙脫出來,盡可能遠、盡可能快地飛離了那個地方。)


    eventually, his energy ran out and he copsed, falling onto his hands and knees on the floor.(最終,他的能量耗盡了,他倒在地板上,跪在地上。)


    his body was shaking as he desperately heaved for oxygen, running ragged even after adjusted to the thin air.(他的身體顫抖著,拚命地唿吸著氧氣,即使適應了稀薄的空氣,仍然筋疲力盡。)


    his heart pounded in his chest as nightmares of the all-enpassing ice consumed him.(他的心在胸腔裏砰砰直跳,全麵覆蓋的冰帶給他噩夢。)


    he hadn\\u0027t even realized that the rest of his limbs were actually fine, and that only the one shoe he had left behind had actually been caught.(他甚至沒有意識到自己的其他四肢其實沒事,隻有他留下的那隻鞋子被冰所困住了。)


    \\\"what the hell\\u0027s the matter with you?\\\" polo asked, flying back in.(\\\"你到底怎麽了?\\\"悟空問道,飛迴來。)


    \\\"your foot got frozen up. big deal.\\\"(\\\"你的腳被凍住了,沒什麽大不了的。\\\")


    \\\"the ice…!\\\" gohan whimpered. \\\"it was…it was…\\\"(\\\"冰……!\\\"悟飯哀嚎道,\\\"它……它……\\\")


    \\\"was what?\\\" polo asked. \\\"it was hardly a threat. your own energy could have put it away.\\\"(\\\"是什麽?\\\"悟空問道,\\\"它幾乎算不上威脅。你自己的能量本來可以把它消滅的。\\\")


    whatever polo was saying, gohan didn\\u0027t register.(無論悟空說什麽,悟飯都沒有聽進去。)


    the sound of his own heartbeat had drowned everything else out.(他自己心跳的聲音淹沒了其他一切聲音。)


    feeling his grip slip again brought tears to the boy\\u0027s eyes.(再次感到手的控製力減弱讓悟飯的眼睛濕潤了。)


    how could this still be happening? after months of istion, he still wasn\\u0027t anywhere close.(這怎麽還會發生?經過數月的孤立,他仍然沒有絲毫進展。)


    \\\"what\\u0027s going on, really?\\\" polo asked.(\\\"到底發生了什麽?\\\"悟空問道。)


    \\\"i highly doubt you\\u0027re that freaked out just over some ice.\\\"(\\\"我非常懷疑你就因為一些冰而害怕成這樣。\\\")


    \\\"i can\\u0027t,\\\" gohan groaned. \\\"i can\\u0027t…do it…it\\u0027s not enough!\\\"(\\\"我不行,\\\"悟飯呻吟道,\\\"我不行……做不到……還不夠!\\\")


    \\\"what\\u0027s wrong?!\\\" polo demanded. \\\"you can\\u0027t keep bottling it up.\\\"(\\\"


    怎麽了?!\\\"悟空要求道,\\\"你不能一直憋著。\\\")


    \\\"it\\u0027s frieza!\\\" gohan finally choked out.(\\\"是弗利沙!\\\"悟飯終於喘不過氣來說出來。)


    \\\"frieza…ice. tch. how banal.\\\"(\\\"弗利沙……冰。呸,多麽平庸。\\\")


    \\\"you don\\u0027t fucking get it!\\\" gohan snapped, sitting back up.(\\\"你他媽的根本不懂!\\\"悟飯怒斥道,重新坐直。)


    he finally realized that his arms were still normal, though he kept moving them around to make sure.(他終於意識到他的手臂還是正常的,盡管他不停地擺動著手臂以確保。)


    \\\"you didn\\u0027t see frieza turn a man\\u0027s arm into ice and destroy it!\\\"(\\\"你沒看到弗利沙把一個人的手臂變成冰然後摧毀嗎!\\\")


    \\\"what?\\\" polo asked, caught off-guard. even he sounded fearful.(\\\"什麽?\\\"悟空吃了一驚,甚至他聽起來都很害怕。)


    gohan wiped off his eyes as his body kept shaking.(悟飯擦去眼睛,身體不停地顫抖著。)


    polo was right – he couldn\\u0027t keep bottling everything up.(悟空說得對——他不能一直憋著。)


    \\\"it\\u0027s been almost ten years…and i still can\\u0027t get it out of my head. i keep seeing everything i care about getting destroyed like that.\\\"(\\\"已經快十年了……可我還是無法忘懷。我一直都看到我所關心的一切都被摧毀成那樣。\\\")


    \\\"so it\\u0027s frieza\\u0027s power you fear,\\\" polo deduced.(\\\"所以你害怕的是弗利沙的力量,\\\"悟空推斷道。)


    \\\"i thought i was getting somewhere…\\\" gohanmented. \\\"ever since that day, every time i think i\\u0027m turning a corner, that fucking ice keeps reminding me. that happened right after i took a whole army out by myself. it was the first time i ever actually felt strong for once. i wasn\\u0027t crying or getting pushed around. i even saved vegeta\\u0027s life…\\\"(\\\"我以為我已經取得了一些進展……\\\"悟飯哀歎道,\\\"自從那天以來,每當我覺得我正在轉過一個彎時,這該死的冰就會提醒我。那發生在我獨自擊敗一整支軍隊之後。那是我第一次真正感到自己很強大。我沒有哭泣,沒有被推來推去。我甚至還救了貝吉塔的命……\\\")


    he clenched his fist, trying to grasp that feeling of invincibility again. \\\"it could\\u0027ve all been over. right in the aftermath, my father made that wish to bring me back. the dragon even asked my permission.\\\"(他握緊拳頭,試圖再次抓住那種無敵的感覺,\\\"一切都可能結束了。就在之後,我的父親許願讓我迴來。龍甚至詢問了我的意願。\\\")


    \\\"seriously?\\\" gohan answered with a nod. \\\"it could\\u0027ve been all over. i would\\u0027ve been back here without a trace, but i turned it down. i bought into everything. i wanted to feel strong, i wanted to keep taking people down until i got to frieza, and then i realized i wasn\\u0027t anywhere fucking close.\\\"(\\\"真的?\\\"悟飯點頭迴答,\\\"一切都可能結束了。我會毫不留痕地迴到這裏,但我拒絕了。我相信了一切。我想感到強大,我想一直擊敗人們直到我打到弗利沙,然後我意識到我一點也不接近。\\\")


    he viciously punched his own foot, nearly cracking his knuckles. \\\"don\\u0027t you see now?! this was all my choice! i chose to keep doing this \\u0027cause deep down, i liked it. and it\\u0027s not even enough.\\\"(他狠狠地揍了自己的腳,幾乎把指關節弄裂了,\\\"你現在難道不明白嗎?!這都是我的選擇!因為我內心深處喜歡,我選擇繼續這樣做。可還遠遠不夠。\\\")


    a sharp pain stabbed at gohan\\u0027s head like a series of icepicks, forcing him to rub his temple.(劇痛刺痛著悟飯的頭,就像一係列冰錐,迫使他揉了揉太陽穴。)


    \\\"everyone will die because of me…even if we managed to beat frieza.\\\"(\\\"每個人都會因為我而死……即使我們設法擊敗了弗利沙。\\\")


    \\\"so, the ice holds it all, then,\\\" polo said. \\\"everything you hate, everything you fear.\\\"(\\\"所以,冰包容了一切,\\\"悟空說道,\\\"你所討厭的一切,你所害怕的一切。\\\")


    \\\"everything i love…\\\" gohan blurted out.(\\\"還有我所愛的一切……\\\"悟飯脫口而出。)


    it wasn\\u0027t just fear that the ice made gohan recall. it was arepa and her pale, blue eyes.(冰讓悟飯迴憶起來的不僅僅是恐懼,還有阿瑞帕和她蒼白的藍眼睛。)


    a day may have only been going on outside, but he still had no idea if she was well or not.(外麵可能隻過了一天,但他仍然不知道她是否安好。)


    she had been dragged into his life, and his fight, because


    of that same assault on ka\\u0027s empire.(正是因為對卡布尼特帝國的襲擊,她被卷入了他的生活和戰鬥中。)


    the eyes that granted arepa her beauty had cursed her to suffer the consequences of gohan\\u0027s actions.(給阿瑞帕帶來美麗的眼睛卻詛咒她要承受悟飯行動的後果。)
