it wouldn''t be the year-long trip that brought him to the nightmare of the frieza force, or the trips to various purges. 這次旅程不同於讓他陷入弗利薩軍團的噩夢或者其他幾次的出行。
this was possibly his only chance to live the life he wanted without remorse. 這可能是他唯一的機會，可以毫無後悔地過上他想要的生活。
peace was only six days away. 和平隻有六天的路程。
gohan and goku stood in the center of the gravity room, heaving desperately for air. gohan和goku站在重力房間的中央，拚命地喘著氣。
while gohan''s battle suit was in good condition save for a few scrapes, goku''s had been reduced to a series of rags hanging from his bruised skin. 雖然gohan的戰鬥服除了幾處刮痕外狀況良好，但goku的戰鬥服則成了一堆掛在他瘀傷的皮膚上的破布。
the monitor just a few inches above goku''s head read 180 g''s, producing a pressure that taxed even the bones of two battle-efficient saiyans. 就在goku頭頂幾英寸的地方，顯示器上顯示著180個g，產生的壓力甚至對兩個戰鬥高效的賽亞人的骨頭也是一種負擔。
getting goku to super saiyan level before their excursion to severing the two heads of the cold force had been the main priority of their trip - now on day four – but it didn''t seem to matter how much punishment goku took within, and often against the reinforced steel walls of the ship. 在去切除冷軍團兩個頭目之前，讓goku達到超級賽亞人的級別一直是他們這次旅程的主要目標，現在是第四天，但似乎無論goku在船上受到多少懲罰，甚至是與鋼筋加固的船壁對抗，都沒有用。
the full-blooded saiyan fell onto his backside and caught his breath, exhausted from yet another beam struggle of which he had gotten the losing end. 這位純正的賽亞人摔倒在地，喘著氣，精疲力竭，又一次在束縛戰鬥中落敗。
\"man…i just can''t hack it!\" “天啊...我簡直受不了！”
gohan followed goku''s lead and sat as well. gohan緊隨goku的腳步也坐下來。
\"you''re not alone – if i still can''t even figure out how to bring that power back out on my own, how am i supposed to help you reach it?\" “你並不孤單——如果我自己還無法找到如何重新發揮那種力量的方法，我怎麽能幫助你達到它呢？”
\"good point,\" goku chuckled. “說得對，”goku笑著說道。
gohan closed his eyes, doing as he had been throughout their journey and trying to both focus on his ki and reimagine the feeling of that transformation. gohan閉上眼睛，按照他一路以來的做法，努力專注於他的氣，並重新想象那種轉變的感覺。
in that stressful, inefficient form he thought had been super saiyan, the power source had been obvious – his tail. 在他認為是超級賽亞人的那種充滿壓力、低效的形態中，能量的來源是顯而易見的——他的尾巴。
but in the case of the super saiyan, he couldn''t pin it down. 然而，在超級賽亞人的情況下，他無法確定。
\"i guess it''s rage,\" goku mused. \"goku若有所思地說道：“我想這是憤怒。看到vegeta和那個女孩那樣死去，顯然激發了你的憤怒。”
gohan''s eye twitched involuntarily. gohan的眼睛不由自主地抽動了一下。
\"i know. 我知道。” gohan睜開眼睛，伸展雙手，觀察著顫抖的手指。“我甚至試過讓自己重新進入那種心態，但是…” 當我現在想到他們的死亡時，我不再生氣。我已經把所有的憤怒都發泄在frieza身上；我剩下的隻是他們曾經在的空虛。”
\"sounded like me for a long time,\" goku replied with a mirthless chuckle. goku帶著一聲沒有歡笑的笑聲迴答：“聽起來像我很長一段時間。”
gohan darted his eyes over at his father and studied his weary smile. gohan瞥了一眼他父親，研究著他疲憊的微笑。
\"after you got taken away, i was just really mad for a long time. “在你被帶走之後，我很長一段時間都很生氣。” prolly wasn''t the easiest guy to be around. 可能不是最容易相處的人。
i only ever felt real hate once before then, towards big daddy polo and his goons. 以前，我隻有一次真正地感受到仇恨，那是對polo爸爸和他的手下們的仇恨。
but i took care of that. 但我解決了這個問題。 but raditz?\" 但是raditz呢？”
with a shake of the head, goku whistled. goku搖了搖頭，發出了一聲口哨。
i was fired up, and ready to go nuclear to get you back. \"我充滿激情，準備付出一切去找迴你。”
when goku rested his elbows on his knees and sighed, gohan hung his head. 當goku將手肘靠在膝蓋上歎了口氣時，gohan低下了頭。 he had never seen his father speak at length about how he dealt with the incident. 他從未見過父親詳細講述他如何處理這件事。 he knew goku to be a guy who always stayed on the positive side, even to nonsensical degrees. 他知道goku總是保持積極的態度，即使到了荒謬的程度。 just the thought of him fractured left a knot in gohan''s stomach. 僅僅想到他心碎的樣子就讓gohan的胃裏打了個結。
\"and as bad as it was for me, it was that much worse for your mother. “盡管對我來說很糟糕，但對你媽媽來說更糟糕。 gohan''s palms clenched into fists. gohan的手掌緊握成拳頭。
\"for the first year, she basically never got out of bed,\" goku said, a bead of sweat trickling down his head. “在第一年裏，她基本上從床上沒有下來。” goku說著，額頭上滴下一顆汗珠。 \"and when i came back empty, and when the dragon balls…\" goku looked back up with a cringe, making gohan flinch at the reminder. “而當我空手而歸，當那些龍珠……” goku痛苦地抬起頭，讓gohan不由自主地退縮，想起了那件事。 \"didn''t work-\" “沒有效果-”
\"i''m-\" “我……”
goku waved him off with his usual benevolence. goku用他一貫的善良態度揮了揮手。 \"don''t worry ''bout it. “不用擔心。 i get it. 我明白。”
gohan sighed, skeptical of goku''s answer. gohan歎了口氣，對goku的迴答表示懷疑。 of all the vitriol he had spewed that first day back on earth, that seemed to break his heart the worst. 在他迴到地球的第一天發出的所有憤怒言辭中，這似乎是最傷他心的。
\"but man, once it got clear that i might never see you again, it all fell apart. “但是，一旦我清楚地意識到可能再也見不到你了，一切都崩潰了。 chi-chi was basically a zombie for a few years, just kinda goin'' on autopilot. chi-chi基本上在幾年間都像個僵屍一樣，隻是在自動駕駛下度日。 i even stopped trainin'' for a while. 我甚至一度停止了訓練。”
despite the negative subject, goku actually startedughing; gohan hummed with bewilderment. 盡管主題消極，goku實際上開始笑了起來；gohan感到困惑。
\"ah man, you shoulda seen me about seven years ago or so. “啊，夥計，你應該在大約七年前見到我。 i got all bby ''n gross! it wasn''t ''til polo started stirrin'' up trouble again that i finally got back in the swing of things and honestly? it helped. 我變得胖嘟嘟的！直到皮克洛再次引起麻煩，我才重新迴到狀態中來，老實說，這幫了我忙。 the thrill of the fight and gettin'' back in my routine took my mind off you a little bit. 戰鬥的刺激和迴到例行公事讓我有點忘記了你。
\"it was the same with me,\" gohan replied. “我也是一樣，”gohan迴答道。 \"i rejected that wish because i thought it was keeping you guys safe, but deep down…i think i was just avoiding you guys. “我拒絕了那個願望，因為我以為那會保護你們安全，但內心深處……我覺得我隻是在逃避你們。 i thought if i just dedicated myself to the goal and fought, i could just bury all the bad feelings. 我以為隻要專注於目標和戰鬥，就能掩埋所有的壞感覺。 the way you reacted when you first saw me. 你第一次見到我的反應…… 那一直是我害怕的。”
goku''s smile took a glum reversal. goku的笑容變得沮喪起來。 \"i''m really sorry about that, gohan. “對此我真的很抱歉，gohan。
i always knew somethin'' was fishy about what shenron said, especially after i learned about frieza. 我一直對神龍說的話感到可疑，尤其是在了解到弗裏紮之後。 but i could never let go of the little boy raditz swept away, and that''s what i thought i''d be getting'' if you ever returned. 但我始終無法忘記被拉迪茨奪走的那個小男孩，我認為如果你迴來了，我就會得到他。 it was stupid. 這太愚蠢了。
\"if i had any respect for myself, i wouldn''t havested long,\" gohan bitterly replied. “如果我對自己有絲毫的尊重，我就不會撐那麽久，”gohan痛苦地迴答道。 \"but after everyone kept pushing me around, i wanted to feel strong. 但是在每個人都欺負我的時候，我想要變得強大。 all those scared faces on thes we hit…they made me sick. 那些被我們襲擊的星球上那些害怕的臉……讓我惡心。 it was like i was seeing that kid all over again. 我好像又看到了那個孩子。
gohan didn''t realize how much had been scraping his teeth against each other. gohan沒有意識到自己的牙齒互相摩擦了多久。 after all those years, a piece of him that resented that crybaby still existed. 經過那麽多年，他內心對那個哭哭啼啼的孩子仍然存在著怨恨。
\"but look at you now,\" goku marveled. “但現在看看你，”goku驚歎道。 \"nobody can touch you, and you got rid of the evil boss. 沒人能碰得了你，而且你擺脫了那個邪惡的老板。
gohan aimed a re at goku''s face that he hadn''t given him in a year. gohan瞪著goku的臉，一年來他沒有對他這樣過。 \"so what? that hasn''t been important to me for a long time, if you haven''t noticed. 那又怎樣？你如果沒有注意到的話，這對我來說很久以前就不重要了。”
\"my bad,\" goku replied, awkwardly scratching the back of his head in the face of gohan''s resentment. “是我不好，”goku迴答道，麵對gohan的怨恨，尷尬地抓著後腦勺。 \"that''s the saiyan talkin'', i guess. 我想那是賽亞人的說法。
opting to retreat into his shell, gohan folded his arms and shut his eyes. 選擇退縮進自己的殼中，gohan交叉雙臂，閉上了眼睛。 the devastation of frieza''s fight had restored his bad old habit, routing him on a detour from his real feelings. 弗裏紮的戰鬥的破壞使他恢複了他糟糕的舊習慣，使他遠離了真實的感受。 he did enjoy having power over frieza; he made sure to rub the salt in his wound. 他喜歡掌控著弗裏紮；他確保加深他的傷口。 he didn''t just want the super saiyan power back for utility''s sake – he craved that invigorating rush more than the most potent nicotine. 他不僅僅是想要超級賽亞人的力量是為了實用的目的——他渴望那種令人興奮的衝動，比最強效的尼古丁還要強烈。
\"i''ve felt that way a lot,\" goku muttered, snapping gohan out of his spell. “我經常有這種感覺，”goku嘟囔著，打破了gohan的沉默。 \"i wasn''t just angry at raditz back then, either. 我當時不僅僅是對拉迪茨感到憤怒。 he beat me in one kick. 他用一腳就擊敗了我。 i work so hard to be as strong as i can and couldn''t even protect my own son. 我努力提升實力，盡力保護自己的兒子，但卻無能為力。 if i''da been strong enough-\" 如果我足夠強大——”
\"i wouldn''t have even been there,\" gohan pleted with a smirk. “我根本就不會在那裏，”gohan滿意地補充道。 \"yeah, they said that plenty. 是的，他們說了很多次。 eventually, i believed it. 最終，我相信了。 that''s the biggest reason i was so nasty to you when i first got here. 這就是我剛到這裏對你那麽惡劣的主要原因。 \" \"yeah, i''d bet. 是的，我敢打賭。 i hate to admit it, but i''m not even sure i was so down just because you were gone. 我不願承認，但我甚至不確定我之所以如此沮喪，僅僅是因為你不在了。 after i beat polo and finally got over the martial arts tournament hump, i thought i was the baddest dude around; now it turns out i had a brother in space who could just kick my ass like that? to the point where i couldn''t even save my own son?\" goku swung his fist. 在我打敗比克羅之後，終於克服了武道大會的困境，我以為我是最牛的家夥；現在結果卻是，我在太空中有一個可以輕易揍我屁股的兄弟？以至於我甚至救不了我自己的兒子？”goku揮了揮拳頭。 \"man. 天哪。 i was so disgusted. 我真是惡心透了。 \"
gohan snickered. \"then i don''t know if you would''ve gotten a kick out of it or just been even madder if you saw where raditz really stood in the grand scheme of things. have you ever wondered why he took me away?\" gohan笑了起來。“那麽，我不知道你是會覺得好笑，還是會更生氣，如果你知道拉迪茨在整個計劃中的真實地位。你曾經想過他為什麽把我帶走嗎？”
goku''s brows lined together in thought. \"i always figured it was either a trap, or worse. i never wanted to think too hard about it, to be honest.\" goku皺起眉頭思考著。“我一直以為那要麽是一個陷阱，要麽更糟。說實話，我從來都不願意想太多。”
\"i''m sure you''ve already figured out how those scouters we wear measure people''s ki. well, the reading he got from me was twice as strong as yours.\" “我敢肯定你已經想到了我們佩戴的探測器是如何測量人們的氣的。嗯，他從我的探測器讀到的數值是你的兩倍強。”
goku nearly fell over. \"what?! seriously?! i mean, you being stronger when you came back made sense, but even as just a little ol'' baby?! it took a lifetime of trainin'' just to get the little bit of power i had back then; chi-chi didn''t even let you train and you were that good! unbe-frickin''-lievable!\" goku幾乎摔倒。“什麽？！真的嗎？！我的意思是，你迴來時更強有道理，但你隻是一個小小的嬰兒？！我花了一輩子的時間才恢複到那時的一點點實力；而且琪琪甚至不讓你練功，你就有那麽厲害！真是難以置信！”
\"yeah. believe it or not, raditz was actually a wimp. i was stronger than him right off the bat. he was basically the punching bag, and prettyzy at that,\" gohan said with a chuckle towards goku''s visible frustration. “是的。信不信由你，拉迪茨其實是個懦夫。我一開始就比他強大。他基本上就是一個沙袋，而且相當懶惰。” gohan笑著對著表現出明顯沮喪的goku說道。
\"the guy that beat me in one kick was a wimp, and my four-year-old toddler of a son was a more worthy ally than i was,\" goku looked up with an irritable, hysterical smirk. “那個用一腳打敗我的家夥是個懦夫，而我的四歲小孩子卻比我更值得信任，” goku怒氣衝衝地仰起頭，帶著一絲病態的笑容。
\"if raditz had stuck around you might''ve won the whole fight for us by ident. now i''m wonderin'' if goten could''ve taken frieza out in one hit!\" “如果拉迪茨一直在你身邊，你可能會無意間贏得整場戰鬥。現在我在想，孫悟天是否可以一擊將弗利薩打倒！”
at the mention of goten, gohan looked down and idly tapped his fingers against the tiles. an unfortable grunt gave away his disposition to his father. 一提到孫悟天，悟飯低頭，漫不經心地敲擊著瓷磚。他不舒服地咕噥了一聲，向父親透露了他的心情。
\"sorry-\" “對不起——”
\"no,\" gohan interrupted. \"it''s fine.\" “不，”悟飯打斷了他。“沒關係。”
\"well, i meant, sorry i kinda kept it a secret from you at first,\" goku replied. \"i mean, not that i had a chance to ever say anything about it with all the fightin'', but it shouldn''t have had to e out by ident. guess i knew you''d feel a way about it.\" “嗯，我的意思是，對不起，我一開始有點瞞著你。”悟空迴答道。“我的意思不是我有機會說什麽，畢竟我們一直在戰鬥，但這不應該是偶然才被揭示出來的。我猜我知道你會對此有所感觸。”
\"i was being a brat. i expected you and mom to be as lonely and miserable as i was.\" “我當時真是個小壞蛋。我以為你和媽媽會和我一樣孤單和痛苦。”
\"we definitely were before him. every time your mom would pass by your room, she''d start cryin''. we knew we could never rece you, but we just wanted to make things a little brighter. it was actually bulma''s suggestion.\" “在他出生之前，我們確實是這樣。每次你媽媽經過你的房間，她都會開始哭泣。我們知道我們永遠無法取代你，但我們隻是想讓事情變得更加明亮一些。其實這是布爾瑪的建議。”
goku gazed into the ck abyss of space through the window with razor-sharp eyes. \"goku用銳利的眼神凝視著透過窗戶的黑暗深淵。 \"it made me train even harder. \"這讓我更加努力地訓練。 i wasn''t going to let anything happen to him. 我不會讓任何事情發生在他身上。 i needed to prove i could protect my own son. 我需要證明我能保護自己的兒子。\"
just seeing him sitting cross-legged, gohan could see that fiery saiyan spirit swimming in his father''s eyes, only he had a greater purpose than just being stronger. 隻是看到他盤腿坐著，悟飯就能看到他父親眼中那股熾熱的賽亞人精神，隻是他的目標不僅僅是變得更強。 a few momentster, his expression lightened back up to augh. 幾秒鍾後，他的表情又變得輕鬆愉快，笑了起來。 \"''course, look how that turned out. 當然，看看最後的結果。 i did all this work to protect my new son, and now it turns out my first son''s the one that''s gotta protect me! i''m ckin''. 我付出了這麽多努力來保護我的新兒子，現在結果是我的大兒子要來保護我！我真是懶散啊。\"
gohan shook his head. 悟飯搖了搖頭。 that couldn''t have been further from the truth; if goku hadn''t have nearly destroyed himself to defeat avocado, they wouldn''t have even gotten far enough to beat frieza; if goku hadn''t protected gohan from himself, he would have wiped out all of earth. 這與事實完全不符；如果不是goku幾乎為了擊敗avocado而犧牲自己，他們甚至都沒有足夠的力量來打敗frieza；如果goku沒有保護悟飯免受自己的傷害，他可能會摧毀整個地球。
\"i''m startin'' to understand this whole saiyan thing. 我開始理解這整個賽亞人的事情了。 i guess i always had it in me even when i didn''t know it,\" goku said. 我猜我一直都有這種能力，即使在我不知道的時候。”goku說道。 \"here we are, talkin'' about all the crap they put us through and we''re still tryin'' to bring one of ''em back. \"我們現在談論的是他們給我們帶來的所有麻煩，而我們仍然在試圖把其中一個人帶迴來。
\"i should hate those guys,\" gohan said, referring to vegeta along with nappa and raditz. \"我應該恨那些家夥們，\" 悟飯說道，指的是vegeta以及nappa和raditz。 \"i''m pretty sure they wanted me to, even. but i can''t. \"我很確定他們甚至希望我這樣，但是我不能。
\"yeah. i think i realized that in the time chamber with vegeta,\" goku mused, looking up at the ceiling with an admiring smile. \"是的。 我想我在和vegeta在時光之間的修行中意識到了這一點，\" goku沉思著，仰望著天花板，麵帶讚歎的微笑。 \"that guy, man. i thought i was nuts, but he''s a friggin'' maniac. he barely even cares about his own wellbeing, let alone anybody else''s. i guess when your life''s one big battle royale, it don''t matter if it''s a grown man or a little kid. if you can walk, you can fight. \"那家夥，夥計。 我以為我瘋了，但他簡直就是個瘋子。 他幾乎不關心自己的安危，更別說其他人了。 我想當你的生活就是一個巨大的混戰時，無論是成年人還是小孩都無所謂。 隻要你能行走，就能戰鬥。
\"that''s how it was. we lived in our safe little bubble on earth,\" gohan began, looking into the vacuum he had traveled on countless asions. \"就是這樣。 我們在地球上生活在我們安全的小世界裏，\"悟飯開始說道，眺望著他曾多次穿梭的真空中。 \"but out there, you''re either strong, or you aren''t. raditz had been fighting life or death battles since he was the same age i was when he showed up. we were the crazy ones in their eyes. \"但在那裏，要麽你很強大，要麽你不行。 raditz從他出現時起就一直在進行生死戰鬥。 在他們看來，我們是瘋子。
\"it''s weird, ain''t it?\" \"這很奇怪，不是嗎？\"
\"at least those guys just wanted me to be strong. they weren''t trying to torture me or humiliate me like frieza. \"至少那些家夥隻是希望我變強。 他們並不像frieza那樣試圖折磨我或羞辱我。
once i proved myself, they epted me. \"在我證明了自己之後，他們接受了我，\"悟飯迴憶起他們一起戰鬥的時候，自豪感湧上了他的胸膛。 \"i''ve saved their lives, and they''ve saved mine. \"我救過他們的命，他們也救過我的命。
\"vegeta''s got nothin'' to prove to me,\" goku replied. \"i mean, he''s still a pretty nasty guy, but if he would take a beam for you like that, he''s okay with me. \"“對於我來說，vegeta不需要證明什麽，\" goku迴答道。 \"我的意思是，他仍然是一個相當惡劣的家夥，但如果他願意為你擋下那樣的攻擊，他對我來說沒問題。
gohan looked up at the spaceship''s control panel – he and vegeta had waged many fights within the walls of the spaceship to prepare for frieza, pushing themselves to their limits and beyond. gohan抬頭看著飛船的控製麵板——他和vegeta曾經在飛船的牆壁內進行過許多戰鬥，為了準備對抗frieza，他們將自己推向極限以上。 they''d taken out many of their frustrations with each other knowing if they couldn''t survive, they wouldn''t have been worth much. 他們互相宣泄了許多的不滿情緒，因為他們知道如果他們不能活下來，他們的價值將不大。 but in the end, vegeta had proven he was worth plenty. 但最終，vegeta證明了他的價值是很大的。 he was worth going above and beyond to revive. 他值得我們不惜一切代價來複活他。
\"i''m still confused about one thing, though,\" goku cut in. \"i mean, she seemed like a pletely different person from the one who helped us get on the nimbus. ''cause some things weren''t addin'' up. \"“但是有一件事我仍然感到困惑，\" goku插話道。 \"我的意思是，她似乎和那個幫助我們登上筋鬥雲的人完全不一樣。 因為有些事情似乎不太對勁。
gohanughed. \"it''s a long story... \"悟飯笑了起來。 \"這是一個漫長的故事...
day six had arrived. 第六天已經到來。
the efforts to make goku a super saiyan still hadn''t yielded any luck, but gohan figured they had plenty of time between namek and wherever they''d find cooler. 試圖讓悟空成為超級賽亞人的努力仍然沒有帶來任何好運，但是悟飯覺得他們在納美克星和找到庫拉的地方之間有足夠的時間。
if it happened, it would happen, and at worst, gohan could take care of them himself, anyway. 如果發生了，就發生了，最壞的情況下，悟飯可以自己照顧他們。
through the window a few feet across, gohan could see a green sphere expanding in size with every passing second. 透過幾英尺遠的窗戶，悟飯可以看到一個綠色的球體正在不斷擴大。
\"heh, figures the would be green,\" goku said, ing up from the second floor in a fresh uniform. \"嗬嗬，想得到星球會是綠色的，\"悟空說著，穿著一身新製服從二樓走了出來。
gohan rolled his eyes and studied its appearance. 悟飯翻了翻白眼，仔細觀察著它的外觀。
\"mencing thending on namek,\" said the automated voice from the control panel''s speakers. \"開始著陸納美克星，\"控製麵板的揚聲器裏傳來自動化的聲音。
the space capsule elerated and made its plunge down into the green sphere''s atmosphere. 太空艙加速並衝入綠色球體的大氣層。
as it drew in closer, gohan narrowed his eyes in focus; it wasn''t the mission that brought him urgency, but a presence that grew stronger in his mind the closer they fell. 當它越來越接近時，悟飯眯起眼睛集中注意力；讓他緊張的不是任務，而是在他們跌落的過程中越來越強烈的存在感。
\"do you feel that, father?\" \"你感覺到了嗎，父親？\"
goku raised a confused eyebrow until the signal hit him like lightning. 悟空挑起困惑的眉毛，直到信號像閃電一樣打到他身上。
\"whoa. i''m pickin'' up some pretty big ki. \"哇。我感受到了一些相當強大的氣。
\"two of them.\"
\"其中有兩個。\"
and that wasn''t the most disconcerting part – these powers felt familiar. they weren''t an exact match to the man that was on his mind, but they certainly felt rotten enough.
而最讓人不安的部分不是這個——這些力量感覺很熟悉。它們與他所想的那個人並不完全相符，但肯定足夠邪惡。
\"they both feel like frieza''s…\"
\"它們都感覺像是弗裏薩的……\"
\"you''re right,\" goku replied, his breath running thin. \"could it be his father and brother?!\"
\"你說得對，\"悟空迴答道，他的唿吸變得微弱起來。\"會不會是他的父親和哥哥？！\"
\"has to be.\"
\"肯定是的。\"
gohan blocked everything out, ignoring goku''s questions and the automated voice''s informing of theirndfall to devise a n. both of their ki''s felt in the same caliber of power as frieza''s - not his 100% power, but close enough. gohan suspected cooler may have always been in the state frieza had been on earth, but his father may have been a different story. that being said, goku would still be a valuable asset against them, super saiyan or not.
悟飯屏蔽了一切，不理會悟空的問題和自動化的聲音通知他們著陸，以製定一個計劃。他們兩個的氣感覺起來和弗裏薩的力量相當——雖然不是他的100%力量，但足夠接近。悟飯懷疑庫拉可能一直處於弗裏薩在地球上的狀態，但他父親可能是另外一迴事。也就是說，無論是否是超級賽亞人，悟空仍然是一個寶貴的資產對付他們。
the sound of the ship''s door opening and the ramp sliding down snapped gohan out of his trance. alongside his father, he floated out of the ship and into the environment of namek. they hadnded on a teau shrouded in the same type of blue grass that kiyomi smoked, while the sky possessed a rich shade of green lined by yellow.
飛船門打開和斜坡滑下的聲音讓悟飯從恍惚中清醒過來。他與父親一起漂浮出飛船，進入納美克星的環境。他們降落在一個由kiyomi抽的同種類型的藍色草覆蓋的高原上，而天空則呈現出一種豐富的綠色，被黃色勾勒出線條。
clouds.
雲。
ahead of them were a series of inds big and small, all identical to each other – beautiful grass and a few trees, frogs hopping about.
在他們前麵是一係列大小不一的島嶼，彼此完全相同——美麗的草地和幾棵樹，青蛙跳來跳去。
despite the two odious ki signatures, the atmosphere instilled gohan with a sense of calm.
盡管有著兩個令人討厭的氣氛，但這種氛圍給了悟飯一種平靜的感覺。
it was exactly as king kai had implied.
正如界王所暗示的那樣。
gohan wondered what polo would have thought of the.
悟飯想知道琪琪羅會對這個星球有什麽看法。
\"huh, this is pretty much earth in reverse,\" goku remarked, observing thendscape with the dragon radar in hand.
“呃，這基本上是地球的倒影，”悟空說道，一手拿著龍珠雷達觀察著周圍的景色。
\"awesome, this ce really does have dragon balls! but it looks like a few of the balls are already gathered together,\" goku said after checking the radar. \"and it''s the same spot where i sense those two power levels.\"
“太棒了，這個地方真的有龍珠！但看起來有幾顆龍珠已經聚集在一起了，”悟空在檢查雷達後說道。“而且正是我感受到那兩個力量水平的同一個地點。”
with a snarl, gohan kicked the grass. \"they''re after the dragon balls and beat us here. but how?! how could they know about them?\"
悟飯咆哮著踢了一腳草。“他們追逐龍珠並且比我們先到這裏。但是怎麽可能？他們怎麽會知道它們的存在？”
\"well,pis said ginyu was the one who mentioned the possibility of dragon balls on namek, right?\"
“嗯，萊皮斯說吉尼是提到納美克星可能有龍珠的人，對吧？”
\"the scouter,\" gohan grumbled. \"the damn scouter. one of them must''ve been monitoring the situation on earth and overheard it.\"
“那個偵察儀，”悟飯嘟囔著。“該死的偵察儀。他們中的一個肯定在監視地球的情況並無意中聽到了。”
\"so, they probably know frieza was defeated and now they''re trying to make a wish so they can get a leg up before they fight us.
“所以，他們可能知道弗裏薩已經被打敗了，現在他們正在試圖許個願望，這樣他們就能在和我們戰鬥之前占據優勢。
\"then it''s a good thing we got here when we did.\"
\"那麽我們及時到達真是件好事。\"
goku nodded. \"yeah. we can''t afford to waste any time, so let''s go after them.\"
悟空點了點頭。“對。我們不能浪費時間，所以我們追上他們。”
\"hold on,\" gohan said, motioning his arm towards his father. \"we can''t afford to put the in jeopardy before we have all the dragon balls. let''s gather up the remaining balls under their noses. these guys rely entirely on their scouters, so we can sneak around without using our ki.\"
“等一下，”悟飯說著，向父親示意。“在我們擁有所有龍珠之前，我們不能讓星球處於危險之中。讓我們在他們麵前收集剩下的龍珠。這些家夥完全依賴於他們的偵察儀，所以我們可以在不使用氣的情況下悄悄繞過。”
\"good n. hell, maybe we can even try catching them off-guard,\" goku mused. \"you think you can tap into super saiyan yet?\"
“好計劃。該死的，也許我們甚至可以試試出其不意地抓住他們，”悟空沉思道。“你覺得你現在能進入超級賽亞人狀態了嗎？”
\"maybe,\" gohan replied with a cautious breath. \"let''s just figure things out as we go.\"
“也許吧，”悟飯謹慎地迴答道。“讓我們邊走邊想清楚吧。”
gohan led the way, hopping from penins to penins and growing keener on goku''s idea of a sneak attack. he knew enough about how frieza operated to figure his n had likely taken the dragon balls they already had by force.
悟飯帶路，從半島跳到半島，越來越認同悟空的悄悄襲擊的想法。他對弗裏薩的作戰方式有足夠的了解，可以推測他的族人很可能通過武力奪取了他們已經擁有的龍珠。
allowing deaths to pile up would be the coward''s way. 讓死亡堆積起來將是懦夫的做法。
and so, he headed for those two big ki signatures, going until they reached the edge of a cliff above a vige of white, spherical houses. 因此，他朝著那兩個強大的氣氛前進，一直走到他們到達一個邊緣懸崖上方的白色圓形房屋村莊。
he crouched down to maintain a low profile, as did goku. 他蹲下身子保持低調，悟空也是如此。
down in the vige stood several aliens who, while possessing various shapes, sizes, all looked just like polo and god. 住在村莊裏的幾個外星人，雖然形狀、大小各異，但都長得像皮克洛和神一樣。
even their clothes were simr, which made gohan wish he had gotten another one of polo''s outfits made to demonstrate he wasn''t there for trouble; instead, he looked like an associate of the two men ransacking the. 甚至他們的衣服也很相似，這讓悟飯希望他能做一套皮克洛的衣服，以示他不是來鬧事的；相反，他看起來像是兩個在劫掠這個星球的人的夥伴。
everyst one of them quivered in fear, their eyes engorged and directed to the ignominious figures in the center of the vige. 他們每一個人都恐懼地顫抖著，眼睛凸出，目光盯著村莊中心那些可恥的人物。
one of them, a spitting image of frieza''s first form, only triple the size; king cold. 其中一個，長得酷似弗裏薩第一形態，隻是體積翻了三倍；寇酷王。
right next to him, a man both rigid and rxed who resembled an inverted, purple version of frieza''s final form – that man was cooler. 緊挨著他的是一個既嚴肅又放鬆的人，看起來像是弗裏薩最終形態的顛倒、紫色版本——那個人就是庫拉。
both wore scouters. they looked just like they had in the live streams from frieza''s conference rooms. 他們都戴著偵察儀。他們看起來就像在弗裏薩的會議室裏的直播中那樣。
\"must be them, huh?\" goku asked. \"they certainly look the part.\"
“肯定是他們吧？”悟空問道。“他們看起來確實很像。”
they weren''t alone, either. also with them were a band of cooler force soldiers led by a familiar trio. 他們並不是孤身一人。他們還有一支由熟悉的三人組成的庫拉軍隊。
there was neiz, thenky, brown toad. dore, the green behemoth with ck hair. and then, salza, the blue-skinned blonde who had given gohan the scar on his chest. 其中有尼茲，瘦高的、棕色的蟾蜍；多爾，綠色的巨獸，黑發；然後，薩爾紮，藍皮膚的金發人，曾在悟飯的胸口留下傷疤。
while king cold observed the terror-stricken namekians with an amused smile, cooler regarded them with impatience. he whipped his tail against the grass, littering dust onto the three enormous dragon balls gathered beside his feet.
當寇酷王帶著一絲嘲笑觀察著恐懼的納美克人時，庫拉則不耐煩地注視著他們。他用尾巴抽打著草地，把塵土撒在他腳旁聚集的三顆巨大的龍珠上。
\"let''s make this simple, because the routine''s already gotten old after the first three times – hand me the dragon balls, or i''ll kill everyst one of you.\"
\"讓我們簡化這個問題，因為這套常規在第一次之後已經變得陳舊——把龍珠交給我，否則我會殺死你們每個人。\"
\"ah, shit,\" gohan hissed. hearing cooler''s rougher, more masculine voice in person for the first time sent a chill down his spine.
\"啊，該死，\"悟飯嘶聲道。第一次親自聽到庫拉粗糙而更有男子氣概的聲音讓他背脊發冷。
\"damn, he''s probably already killed plenty of these guys already then,\" goku growled, digging his fingers into the grass. \"no way can we let that happen.\"
\"該死，他可能已經殺死了很多這些家夥了，\"悟空咆哮著，將手指插入草地中。“絕對不能讓這種事發生。”
\"i know,\" gohan replied. even if they could be wished back, gohan didn''t want anybody to feel the trauma of death. \"the moment they attack, we''ll catch them slipping.\"
“我知道，”悟飯迴答道。即使他們可以被複活，悟飯也不想讓任何人經曆死亡的創傷。“一旦他們發動攻擊，我們就會抓住他們的破綻。”
\"gotcha. we''ll know when it gets out of hand.\"
\"明白了。一旦情況失控我們就會知道的。\"
an older, portly namekian in a red vest stepped in front, while two namekian children who appeared close to gohan''s age shuddered nervously behind him. \"i don''t know anything about this dragon ball business. please leave.\"
一個年長的、肥胖的納美克人穿著紅色馬甲走到前麵，而兩個看起來和悟飯年紀相仿的納美克人孩子戰戰兢兢地站在他身後。“我對這個龍珠的事一無所知。請離開。”
cooler merely chuckled at the elder''s words. \"just like the other elders, then. they all said the same thing, pleading ignorance. you keep up the charade, you''ll end up in the pile of corpses with the rest of them.\"
庫拉隻是對長老的話輕笑。“就像其他長老一樣。他們都說了同樣的話，請求無知。你繼續保持這種假象，你最終會和其他人一起躺在屍體堆裏。”
the namekians were left aghast, standing frozen in fear. the elder nearly fell over in horror. \"no…you wouldn''t!\"
納美克人驚恐萬分，嚇得站在原地一動不動。長老幾乎被嚇得摔倒。“不……你不會這麽做！”
\"dammit, it really is true,\" goku said.
“該死，這真的是真的，”悟空說道。
a smirk spread across cooler''s purple lips, every bit as sadistic as his brother''s. \"i wouldn''t? you must not have heard of me, old man. i''m known across the universe for many things, most of all the plete annihtion i''ve brought to every i''ve crossed paths with.\"
庫拉的紫色嘴唇上浮現出一絲冷笑，與他兄弟的表情一樣邪惡。“我不會？你肯定沒聽說過我，老家夥。我在整個宇宙都以許多事情聞名，尤其是我在與每個星球交匯處帶來的徹底毀滅。”
cooler took a grand step forward, alerting not just the namekians, but the two saiyans covertly observing them.
庫拉大步向前邁去，不僅引起了納美克人的警覺，還引起了暗中觀察他們的兩個賽亞人的警覺。
\"but you know what i''m not known for? patience. i don''t want to hear any bullshit about tests of valor or character.\"
\"但你知道我不以什麽聞名嗎？耐心。我不想聽到任何關於勇氣或品德考驗的胡扯。\"
cooler mockingly folded his arms while his smirk spread. \"in fact, if you choose to be the first one to not make this difficult, i''ll even spare you and your vige. do please spread the word to the remaining ones, will you?\"
庫拉嘲笑地雙臂交叉，冷笑擴散開來。“事實上，如果你選擇成為第一個不讓事情變得困難的人，我甚至會放過你和你的村莊。請把這個消息傳給剩下的人，好嗎？\"
\"why should i believe you?!\" the elder sneered. \"you are a shameless murderer - your word means nothing!\"
\"我為什麽要相信你？！\"老長老嘲笑著說道。“你是一個無恥的殺人犯——你的話毫無意義！\"
king cold chuckled like he had merely heard a clever joke. \"well, he has you there, son!\"
寇酷王笑了起來，就像他隻是聽到一個聰明的笑話一樣。“嗯，他說得沒錯，孩子！\"
with a proud chuckle, cooler closed his eyes and lowered his arms. \"i never was as good of a liar as myte brother, was i?\"
庫拉得意地笑著，閉上了眼睛，放下了雙臂。“我從來沒有像我已故的兄弟那樣善於說謊，對吧？\"
he opened his eyes back up, aiming his blood-red pupils at everyst namekian.
他再次睜開眼睛，將血紅色的瞳孔對準每一個納美克人。
\"you''re right. i was going to kill you all even if you talked.\"
\"你說得對。即使你們開口說話，我也會殺死你們所有人。\"
before the elder tyrant even had a chance to react, five younger namekians lunged at him with the same intentions. of all the namekians, they resembled polo the most. before they could get even an inch in the air, and before goku and gohan could move, a pair of beams from cooler''s eyes incinerated them all and left their charred bodies in a pile right besides the dragon balls they had tried to protect.
在老長老惡霸甚至來得及反應之前，五個年輕的納美克人衝向他，意圖相同。在所有納美克人中，他們最像皮克洛。在他們甚至能飛起一英寸之前，在悟空和悟飯還沒來得及動之前，庫拉的雙眼發出的兩束光束將他們全部焚燒，將他們焦黑的屍體堆在了他們試圖保護的龍珠旁邊。
after a contemptuous re towards the green scrap heap, cooler redirected his sights to the elder – specifically, the two boys cowering behind his legs.
在對綠色廢墟投以蔑視的一瞥之後，庫拉將目光轉向了長老——準確地說，是躲在他腿後的兩個男孩。
\"have i mentioned i''m great with kids?\"
“我有提過我很擅長與孩子相處嗎？”
that was enough.
這就足夠了。
with no regard for whatever erratic n he had, gohan stormed down from the cliff and delivered a crushing knee right to cooler''s skull that knocked the scouter right off his ear. goku flew right down with him, standing behind gohan with his back turned to ward off any sneak attacks. cooler''s soldiers surrounded the father & son duo and lunged at them, but a simple pair of kiai shouts sent all of them skyward.
悟飯毫不顧及他的任何亂七八糟的計劃，從懸崖上衝下來，用強大的膝蓋直接擊中庫拉的頭骨，將偵察儀打落他的耳朵。悟空緊隨其後，站在悟飯身後，背對著他，防止任何偷襲。庫拉的士兵們包圍了父子二人，並向他們撲去，但簡單的兩聲氣功喊聲將他們全部擊飛。
cooler unleashed a string of angry curses as he got up and vaporized the one soldier who possessed the misfortune of flying towards him. once he got up and took a closer look, his temper cooled.
庫拉在站起來的時候爆發出一連串憤怒的咒罵，他將那個不幸朝他飛來的士兵蒸發掉。一旦他站起來並仔細觀察，他的脾氣就冷靜了下來。
\"ah, well if it isn''t the match that lit the me. little son gohan,\" he beamed. \"and you – you look just like the man i saw on the projection who opposed frieza''s destruction of your home. now i see; you must be gohan''s father. the ship i let escape.\"
“啊，好吧，這不是點燃了火焰的火柴嗎？小孫悟飯，”他笑容滿麵。“而你——你看起來就像我在投影上看到的那個反對弗裏薩摧毀你的家園的男人。現在我明白了，你一定是悟飯的父親。那艘逃走的飛船。”
cooler swung his head back and cackled into the green skies, motioning towards his armored squadron. \"how fitting is this, boys?! you three were there when it happened; you remember what i said, right?\"
庫拉扭頭向後，對著綠色的天空狂笑，示意他的裝甲小隊。“這多麽合適，夥計們！你們三個都在場；你們還記得我說過什麽嗎？”
\"i believe you said that ship was frieza''s mess, now,\" salza said from his thick ent.
“我記得你說過那艘飛船是弗裏薩弄出來的麻煩，現在是嗎？”薩爾紮帶著濃重的口音說道。
\"and sure enough, it resulted in his end. a great tragedy indeed,\" he obit with callous indifference for his brother.
“果然，這導致了他的滅亡。的確是一場巨大的悲劇，”他冷漠地追悼著他的兄弟。
\"ugh, it''s just so heartbreaking,\" king cold added with a whimper betrayed by his blithe grin while he nodded towards goku. \"you can rte, right, orange fellow? you try to instill your son with values, and responsibility, only for them to blow you off, left to learn their lesson only when it''s toote. s, negligence was his achille''s heel.\"
“呃，這太令人心碎了。”寇酷王低聲抱怨著，但他的輕鬆笑容背叛了他的哀號，同時他朝著悟空點了點頭。“你能理解吧，橙色家夥？你試圖灌輸你兒子價值觀和責任感，結果他們卻把你拒之門外，隻有在太遲時才能吸取教訓。唉，疏忽成了他的致命傷。”
\"enough of this,\" gohan snapped, peeved by cold''s theatrics that he had clearly passed down to his son. \"why are you after the dragon balls?!\"
“夠了！”悟飯怒斥道，對寇酷王明顯傳給他兒子的戲劇化行為感到惱火。“你為什麽追逐龍珠？！”
\"i heard ginyu mention them and decided to look into it myself,\" cooler replied, confirming goku and gohan''s suspicion. \"after i learned of frieza''s defeat, i wasn''t going to take my chances. i came here to bestow myself with immortality before i arrived to earth and crushed you. but i see you''ve expedited your fate.\"
“我聽到吉尼說起過它們，於是決定自己來調查一下，”庫拉迴答道，證實了悟空和悟飯的猜想。“在得知弗裏薩被擊敗之後，我不打算冒險。我來這裏賜予自己永生，然後到達地球，將你們碾壓。但我看到你們已經加快了自己的命運。”
gohan''s confidence tugged against the corners of his lips. \"if you know i''ve defeated frieza, then you must know i''ve bee a super saiyan!\"
悟飯的自信牽動著他嘴角的肌肉。“如果你知道我已經擊敗了弗裏薩，那麽你肯定知道我已經成為了超級賽亞人！”
what gohan expected was for cooler to project that same look of despair as frieza – agape mouth, engorged eyes, and a shivering body. instead, cooler maintained his smirk, raised his hands…and pped? even king cold, who had expressed some trepidation, eyed his son curiously as his apuse rolled on.
悟飯預料到庫拉會像弗裏薩那樣表現出絕望的表情——張大嘴巴、凸出的眼睛和顫抖的身體。然而，庫拉保持著冷笑，舉起雙手……鼓掌？甚至連曾經表現出一些不安的寇酷王也好奇地注視著兒子，隨著掌聲持續響起。
\"congrattions, son gohan,\" cooler said, continuing to p as he marched towards his father. both gohan and goku stood stiff, weary of his cryptic ns. \"a most impressive feat indeed. you fulfilled the tall tale, and extinguished our n''s most infamous member.\"
“恭喜你，孫悟飯，”庫拉說著，繼續鼓掌向他的父親走去。悟飯和悟空都站得筆直，對他神秘的計劃心存戒備。“確實是一項非常令人印象深刻的成就。你實現了那個傳奇故事，並消滅了我們族中最臭名昭著的成員。”
\"but super saiyan or not, our bined forces can take you,\" king cold added.
“不管是超級賽亞人還是普通人，我們的聯合力量可以擊敗你，”寇酷王補充道。
cooler side-eyed his father. \"bined?\"
庫拉斜眼看著他的父親。“聯合？”
and then, he grabbed one of king cold''s horns with one hand, created a de of ki around the other, and sliced his head clean from his shoulders.
然後，他一隻手抓住寇酷王的一隻角，另一隻手周圍形成一道氣刃，將他的頭從肩膀上幹淨地切割下來。
not a single person standing in the vige – not the namekians, not the two saiyans, and certainly not the soldiers – contained their shock. the massive body of king cold sunk into the blue des of grass, while its blood-spewing head hung in the hand of his cackling son.
站在村子裏的任何一個人——不管是納美克人，還是兩個賽亞人，當然也包括士兵們——都無法掩飾他們的震驚。寇酷王龐大的身體沉入藍色的草叢中，而噴血的頭顱則懸掛在他兒子手中發出狂笑。
\"what the fuck?!\" gohan screamed.
“他媽的？！”悟飯尖叫道。
\"surprised?\" cooler asked, marveling at his work. \"well, son gohan, i''ll have you know i was the only one who believed in you – and you''ve given me what i''ve always wanted.\"
“感到驚訝了嗎？”庫拉問道，對他的作品感到驚奇。“嗯，孫悟飯，我要告訴你，我是唯一相信你的人——而你給了我我一直想要的東西。”
even while trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his brain, gohan wretched at such a twisted notion. his suspicion about cooler''s allegiances had been right all along.
盡管試圖拾起他破碎的大腦，悟飯對這種扭曲的想法感到惡心。他對庫拉的忠誠的懷疑一直是正確的。
like it was a mere basketball and not the source of the egg he hatched from, cooler chucked his father''s head at sauzer. his blue subordinate fumbled it in both hands a few times while restraining a rush of vomit in his cheeks.
就像是一個普通的籃球，而不是他孵化出來的蛋的來源，庫拉將他父親的頭扔向索紮。他的藍色部下在用雙手接住的時候摸了幾次，同時抑製住嘴角湧出的嘔吐感。
\"salza!\" cooler called. \"put that in the gship and hang it on my mantle.\"
“薩爾紮！”庫拉叫道。“把那個放在旗艦上，掛在我的壁爐上。”
\"y-yes sir,\" salza replied with a gag. whilst clutching his stomach, he flew away.
“是，先生，”薩爾紮咽了口唾沫答道。他一邊抱著肚子，一邊飛走了。
\"um…ya kinda lost me…\" goku stammered.
“嗯……你有點把我弄糊塗了……”悟空結結巴巴地說道。
gohan watched salza''s flight before twisting his head back towards cooler with no genuine idea of what awaited. all bets were off. despite the bold murder that left he and goku with one less opponent to worry about, gohan couldn''t help the ominous rumbling in his stomach.
悟飯注視著薩爾紮飛走，然後將頭扭迴庫拉，對即將發生的事情一無所知。所有的賭注都取消了。盡管膽大妄為的謀殺讓他和悟空少了一個需要擔心的對手，但悟飯無法控製自己肚子裏那種不祥的隱隱作痛感。
\"what''s there to misunderstand?\" cooler mischievously asked. \"i''ve wanted my sissy little brat of a brother dead for decades now. killing my father was a bit gratuitous i''ll admit, but his guard was down and i don''t like people breathing down my neck.\"
“有什麽可誤解的？”庫拉調皮地問道。“幾十年來，我一直希望我的膽小娘們弟弟死掉。我承認殺了我父親有點多餘，但他沒有警惕心，而且我不喜歡別人在我身後窺視。”
\"w-what are you talking about?\" gohan asked.
“你在說什麽？”悟飯問道。
\"for all hisundry list of ws, frieza was remarkably intelligent. he would never let me lure him into a situation where i could take him one-on-one in a fair fight. getting rid of him meant i''d have to force my father to make the tough decision,\" cooler''s expression was almost nostalgic and wistful as he recalled past memories. \"you remember ka, right?\"
“盡管他有一長串的缺點，弗裏薩非常聰明。他永遠不會讓我誘使他進入一個公平的一對一戰鬥的局麵。除掉他意味著我必須迫使我父親做出艱難的決定，”庫拉迴憶起過去的記憶時，他的表情幾乎帶有懷舊和留戀。“你還記得卡布尼特，對嗎？”
gohan''s jaw fell at lightning speed. \"what?! how…?! that doesn''t make sense!\"
悟飯的下巴迅速地垂了下來。“什麽？！怎麽可能……？！這沒有道理！”
\"i don''t me you for thinking so – he would have said the same thing, had he actually known i was aiding him in the shadows. peconne – his scientist, the brains behind his operation. he was a secret gift from yours truly.\"
“我不怪你這麽想——如果他真的知道我在暗中幫助他，他也會說同樣的話。佩康——他的科學家，他行動背後的智囊。他是我親自送給他的秘密禮物。”
while gohan had no idea who he had been referring to, the next name rang a bell – \"peconne put him in touch with boysen, and the rest was history.\"
雖然悟飯不知道他指的是誰，但下一個名字讓他有所耳聞——“佩康將他與博伊森聯係起來，其他的就成為曆史了。”
boysen. the traitor who had sent gohan, vegeta, and nappa into a deathtrap on linden. where gohan had been dead to rights until a girl with eyes as blue as the ice that had killed her arrived.
博伊森。這個背叛者把悟飯、貝吉塔和納帕送入了在林登星上的死亡陷阱。在那裏，悟飯本來已經死定了，直到一個眼睛像殺死她的冰一樣藍的女孩出現。
\"my n was rather simple. once i learned of ka''s operation, i was going to let his little empire grow into a problem. have peconne lure a few more of frieza''s higher ranking men to his side until father grew sick of his negligence once and for all. but then you came and blew it all up, didn''t you?\"
“我的計劃非常簡單。一旦我了解到卡布尼特的行動，我就打算讓他的小帝國變成一個問題。讓佩康將更多的弗裏薩高級部下引誘到他的一方，直到父親終於對他的疏忽感到厭倦。但然後你出現了，把一切都毀了，對吧？”
gohan idly nodded.
悟飯漫不經心地點了點頭。
much like his brother would, cooler poshly chuckled. \"don''t worry, i have no hard feelings. you opened my eyes, actually. to see frieza''s end by a hand besides my own, i''d have to invest in the saiyans'' strength. he always did fear you apes. why else do you think i had my men supervise those training camps?\"
庫拉高貴地笑了起來，就像他的兄弟一樣。“別擔心，我沒有任何怨恨。事實上，你讓我看清了。要想看到弗裏薩的結局不是出自我的手，我必須投資於賽亞人的力量。他一直害怕你們這些猿類。不然你覺得我為什麽讓我的手下監督那些訓練營？”
gohan simply blinked.
every detail of cooler''s story both surprised him and aligned neatly in his mind.
悟飯隻是眨了眨眼睛。庫拉的故事中的每個細節都讓他感到驚訝，但又在他的腦海中清晰地契合在一起。
\"i was the one who advised frieza to promote you to an officer ranking. and when that fell apart, i was the one who called frieza off-world and gave vegeta the green light to kill zarbon.\"
“當你升為軍官級別時，是我建議弗裏薩這麽做的。當一切破滅時，是我叫弗裏薩離開地球，讓貝吉塔獲得了殺死紮波恩的機會。”
while gohan had known about thetter incident, the former reveal left him short of breath.
雖然悟飯已經知道後一件事情，但前一件事的揭示讓他喘不過氣來。
\"a year and changeter, and you pulled it off. all because of me.\"
“一年多一點時間過去了，而你成功了。都是因為我。”
letting the surprise of the reveal roll off his back, gohan snickered with disgust while squaring his shoulders for battle. \"well, if you''re expecting a ''thank you'' from me, i''m afraid i''ll have to leave you hanging.\"
讓揭示帶來的驚訝從他身上滑落，悟飯嗤笑著表達厭惡之情，同時挺直肩膀準備戰鬥。“嗯，如果你期待我對你表示感謝，恐怕我要讓你失望了。”
\"oh, but i expected as much,\" cooler replied. \"you saiyans were always rude and disorderly. you''ll be repaying me soon enough anyway. now that you''re a super saiyan, you''re the perfect fuel for my most ambitious project yet, whether you want to be or not. so why don''t you bring this power out and give me a demonstration?\"
“哦，我早有預料，”庫拉迴答道。“你賽亞人總是粗魯和無秩序的。不過你遲早會償還給我。現在你成為了超級賽亞人，你是我迄今為止最雄心勃勃計劃的完美燃料，不管你願意與否。那麽，為什麽不發揮這種力量給我一次示範呢？”
\"famousst words,\" gohan said as a gust of wind swirled around him.
\"聲名狼藉的遺言，\"悟飯說著，身邊的風旋轉起來。
\"can you pull it off?\" goku asked, remembering their struggles in the spaceship.
\"你能做到嗎？\"悟空問道，迴想起他們在飛船上的困難。
\"don''t worry,\" gohan replied with a voice full of vigor. \"i think i figured it out yesterday. i just had to remember one little thing.\"
\"別擔心，\"悟飯滿懷活力地迴答道。\"我昨天想明白了。隻是要記住一件小事情而已。\"
the ground rumbled beneath gohan''s feet. his fingers clenched into tight fists.
悟飯腳下的大地隆隆作響。他的手指握成了緊緊的拳頭。
\"i''m always angry.\"
\"我總是憤怒的。\"
a primal screamter, a golden me swept across gohan''s body, igniting his hair into a matching brilliant shade and flickering his ck eyes to teal. the sheer magnitude of his power forced goku and the namekians to retreat into the sky. cooler stood before gohan''s super saiyan transformation not in fear, but awe.
狂野的吼聲之後，一團金色的火焰席卷悟飯的身體，將他的頭發點燃成相匹配的明亮色調，他的黑眼睛閃爍著藍綠色。他那龐大的力量讓悟空和那美克星人不得不退到天空之中。庫拉麵對悟飯的超級賽亞人變身，不是恐懼，而是敬畏。
\"i see…\" cooler marveled. \"the big gete star will feast.\"
\"我明白了……\"庫拉讚歎道。\"大給予之星將會享用。\"
\"what the hell are you talking about?\" gohan asked.
“你在說什麽鬼東西？”悟飯問道。
\"you''ll find out soon enough, little saiyan. you see, you may have been able to defeat my brother, but there''s a big difference between he and i.\"
“你很快就會知道，小賽亞人。你看，你也許能夠打敗我的兄弟，但他和我之間有一個很大的區別。”
\"like what?\" gohan scoffed. \"your brand of lipstick?\"
“比如什麽？”悟飯嘲笑道。“你的口紅品牌？”
cooler smirked, ignoring his quip and raising his index finger. \"one time more. i can transform one time more than frieza. he''s a little bit stronger than i am in our natural forms, but i figured out how to push my strength even higher with a new transformation!\"
庫拉冷笑著，無視他的嘲弄，抬起食指。“再多一次。我可以變身的次數比弗裏薩多一次。在我們的原始形態中，他比我稍微強一點，但我找到了如何通過一種新的變身將我的力量提升到更高的程度！”
\"well let''s see it!\" gohan yelled, thrilled at the prospect of a challenge.
“好吧，讓我們看看！”悟飯大聲喊道，對麵臨挑戰的前景感到興奮。
wasting no time, cooler began his metamorphosis. wind exploded around his feet while his body nearly doubled in bulk. spikes grew from the shells around his head and wrists while the red of his pupils overtook his entire eyes. his body had bee a far cry from the sleek, demure aristocrats gohan had bee ustomed to; now, he resembled a machine efficiently designed for ughter.
不浪費任何時間，庫拉開始變身。風在他的腳周圍爆炸，他的身體幾乎翻倍增大。他的頭和手腕周圍的甲殼上長出了尖刺，而他的瞳孔的紅色占據了他整個眼睛。他的身體與悟飯習慣的光滑、溫文爾雅的貴族相去甚遠；現在，他更像是一個專為屠戮而高效設計的機器。
this was possibly his only chance to live the life he wanted without remorse. 這可能是他唯一的機會，可以毫無後悔地過上他想要的生活。
peace was only six days away. 和平隻有六天的路程。
gohan and goku stood in the center of the gravity room, heaving desperately for air. gohan和goku站在重力房間的中央，拚命地喘著氣。
while gohan''s battle suit was in good condition save for a few scrapes, goku''s had been reduced to a series of rags hanging from his bruised skin. 雖然gohan的戰鬥服除了幾處刮痕外狀況良好，但goku的戰鬥服則成了一堆掛在他瘀傷的皮膚上的破布。
the monitor just a few inches above goku''s head read 180 g''s, producing a pressure that taxed even the bones of two battle-efficient saiyans. 就在goku頭頂幾英寸的地方，顯示器上顯示著180個g，產生的壓力甚至對兩個戰鬥高效的賽亞人的骨頭也是一種負擔。
getting goku to super saiyan level before their excursion to severing the two heads of the cold force had been the main priority of their trip - now on day four – but it didn''t seem to matter how much punishment goku took within, and often against the reinforced steel walls of the ship. 在去切除冷軍團兩個頭目之前，讓goku達到超級賽亞人的級別一直是他們這次旅程的主要目標，現在是第四天，但似乎無論goku在船上受到多少懲罰，甚至是與鋼筋加固的船壁對抗，都沒有用。
the full-blooded saiyan fell onto his backside and caught his breath, exhausted from yet another beam struggle of which he had gotten the losing end. 這位純正的賽亞人摔倒在地，喘著氣，精疲力竭，又一次在束縛戰鬥中落敗。
\"man…i just can''t hack it!\" “天啊...我簡直受不了！”
gohan followed goku''s lead and sat as well. gohan緊隨goku的腳步也坐下來。
\"you''re not alone – if i still can''t even figure out how to bring that power back out on my own, how am i supposed to help you reach it?\" “你並不孤單——如果我自己還無法找到如何重新發揮那種力量的方法，我怎麽能幫助你達到它呢？”
\"good point,\" goku chuckled. “說得對，”goku笑著說道。
gohan closed his eyes, doing as he had been throughout their journey and trying to both focus on his ki and reimagine the feeling of that transformation. gohan閉上眼睛，按照他一路以來的做法，努力專注於他的氣，並重新想象那種轉變的感覺。
in that stressful, inefficient form he thought had been super saiyan, the power source had been obvious – his tail. 在他認為是超級賽亞人的那種充滿壓力、低效的形態中，能量的來源是顯而易見的——他的尾巴。
but in the case of the super saiyan, he couldn''t pin it down. 然而，在超級賽亞人的情況下，他無法確定。
\"i guess it''s rage,\" goku mused. \"goku若有所思地說道：“我想這是憤怒。看到vegeta和那個女孩那樣死去，顯然激發了你的憤怒。”
gohan''s eye twitched involuntarily. gohan的眼睛不由自主地抽動了一下。
\"i know. 我知道。” gohan睜開眼睛，伸展雙手，觀察著顫抖的手指。“我甚至試過讓自己重新進入那種心態，但是…” 當我現在想到他們的死亡時，我不再生氣。我已經把所有的憤怒都發泄在frieza身上；我剩下的隻是他們曾經在的空虛。”
\"sounded like me for a long time,\" goku replied with a mirthless chuckle. goku帶著一聲沒有歡笑的笑聲迴答：“聽起來像我很長一段時間。”
gohan darted his eyes over at his father and studied his weary smile. gohan瞥了一眼他父親，研究著他疲憊的微笑。
\"after you got taken away, i was just really mad for a long time. “在你被帶走之後，我很長一段時間都很生氣。” prolly wasn''t the easiest guy to be around. 可能不是最容易相處的人。
i only ever felt real hate once before then, towards big daddy polo and his goons. 以前，我隻有一次真正地感受到仇恨，那是對polo爸爸和他的手下們的仇恨。
but i took care of that. 但我解決了這個問題。 but raditz?\" 但是raditz呢？”
with a shake of the head, goku whistled. goku搖了搖頭，發出了一聲口哨。
i was fired up, and ready to go nuclear to get you back. \"我充滿激情，準備付出一切去找迴你。”
when goku rested his elbows on his knees and sighed, gohan hung his head. 當goku將手肘靠在膝蓋上歎了口氣時，gohan低下了頭。 he had never seen his father speak at length about how he dealt with the incident. 他從未見過父親詳細講述他如何處理這件事。 he knew goku to be a guy who always stayed on the positive side, even to nonsensical degrees. 他知道goku總是保持積極的態度，即使到了荒謬的程度。 just the thought of him fractured left a knot in gohan''s stomach. 僅僅想到他心碎的樣子就讓gohan的胃裏打了個結。
\"and as bad as it was for me, it was that much worse for your mother. “盡管對我來說很糟糕，但對你媽媽來說更糟糕。 gohan''s palms clenched into fists. gohan的手掌緊握成拳頭。
\"for the first year, she basically never got out of bed,\" goku said, a bead of sweat trickling down his head. “在第一年裏，她基本上從床上沒有下來。” goku說著，額頭上滴下一顆汗珠。 \"and when i came back empty, and when the dragon balls…\" goku looked back up with a cringe, making gohan flinch at the reminder. “而當我空手而歸，當那些龍珠……” goku痛苦地抬起頭，讓gohan不由自主地退縮，想起了那件事。 \"didn''t work-\" “沒有效果-”
\"i''m-\" “我……”
goku waved him off with his usual benevolence. goku用他一貫的善良態度揮了揮手。 \"don''t worry ''bout it. “不用擔心。 i get it. 我明白。”
gohan sighed, skeptical of goku''s answer. gohan歎了口氣，對goku的迴答表示懷疑。 of all the vitriol he had spewed that first day back on earth, that seemed to break his heart the worst. 在他迴到地球的第一天發出的所有憤怒言辭中，這似乎是最傷他心的。
\"but man, once it got clear that i might never see you again, it all fell apart. “但是，一旦我清楚地意識到可能再也見不到你了，一切都崩潰了。 chi-chi was basically a zombie for a few years, just kinda goin'' on autopilot. chi-chi基本上在幾年間都像個僵屍一樣，隻是在自動駕駛下度日。 i even stopped trainin'' for a while. 我甚至一度停止了訓練。”
despite the negative subject, goku actually startedughing; gohan hummed with bewilderment. 盡管主題消極，goku實際上開始笑了起來；gohan感到困惑。
\"ah man, you shoulda seen me about seven years ago or so. “啊，夥計，你應該在大約七年前見到我。 i got all bby ''n gross! it wasn''t ''til polo started stirrin'' up trouble again that i finally got back in the swing of things and honestly? it helped. 我變得胖嘟嘟的！直到皮克洛再次引起麻煩，我才重新迴到狀態中來，老實說，這幫了我忙。 the thrill of the fight and gettin'' back in my routine took my mind off you a little bit. 戰鬥的刺激和迴到例行公事讓我有點忘記了你。
\"it was the same with me,\" gohan replied. “我也是一樣，”gohan迴答道。 \"i rejected that wish because i thought it was keeping you guys safe, but deep down…i think i was just avoiding you guys. “我拒絕了那個願望，因為我以為那會保護你們安全，但內心深處……我覺得我隻是在逃避你們。 i thought if i just dedicated myself to the goal and fought, i could just bury all the bad feelings. 我以為隻要專注於目標和戰鬥，就能掩埋所有的壞感覺。 the way you reacted when you first saw me. 你第一次見到我的反應…… 那一直是我害怕的。”
goku''s smile took a glum reversal. goku的笑容變得沮喪起來。 \"i''m really sorry about that, gohan. “對此我真的很抱歉，gohan。
i always knew somethin'' was fishy about what shenron said, especially after i learned about frieza. 我一直對神龍說的話感到可疑，尤其是在了解到弗裏紮之後。 but i could never let go of the little boy raditz swept away, and that''s what i thought i''d be getting'' if you ever returned. 但我始終無法忘記被拉迪茨奪走的那個小男孩，我認為如果你迴來了，我就會得到他。 it was stupid. 這太愚蠢了。
\"if i had any respect for myself, i wouldn''t havested long,\" gohan bitterly replied. “如果我對自己有絲毫的尊重，我就不會撐那麽久，”gohan痛苦地迴答道。 \"but after everyone kept pushing me around, i wanted to feel strong. 但是在每個人都欺負我的時候，我想要變得強大。 all those scared faces on thes we hit…they made me sick. 那些被我們襲擊的星球上那些害怕的臉……讓我惡心。 it was like i was seeing that kid all over again. 我好像又看到了那個孩子。
gohan didn''t realize how much had been scraping his teeth against each other. gohan沒有意識到自己的牙齒互相摩擦了多久。 after all those years, a piece of him that resented that crybaby still existed. 經過那麽多年，他內心對那個哭哭啼啼的孩子仍然存在著怨恨。
\"but look at you now,\" goku marveled. “但現在看看你，”goku驚歎道。 \"nobody can touch you, and you got rid of the evil boss. 沒人能碰得了你，而且你擺脫了那個邪惡的老板。
gohan aimed a re at goku''s face that he hadn''t given him in a year. gohan瞪著goku的臉，一年來他沒有對他這樣過。 \"so what? that hasn''t been important to me for a long time, if you haven''t noticed. 那又怎樣？你如果沒有注意到的話，這對我來說很久以前就不重要了。”
\"my bad,\" goku replied, awkwardly scratching the back of his head in the face of gohan''s resentment. “是我不好，”goku迴答道，麵對gohan的怨恨，尷尬地抓著後腦勺。 \"that''s the saiyan talkin'', i guess. 我想那是賽亞人的說法。
opting to retreat into his shell, gohan folded his arms and shut his eyes. 選擇退縮進自己的殼中，gohan交叉雙臂，閉上了眼睛。 the devastation of frieza''s fight had restored his bad old habit, routing him on a detour from his real feelings. 弗裏紮的戰鬥的破壞使他恢複了他糟糕的舊習慣，使他遠離了真實的感受。 he did enjoy having power over frieza; he made sure to rub the salt in his wound. 他喜歡掌控著弗裏紮；他確保加深他的傷口。 he didn''t just want the super saiyan power back for utility''s sake – he craved that invigorating rush more than the most potent nicotine. 他不僅僅是想要超級賽亞人的力量是為了實用的目的——他渴望那種令人興奮的衝動，比最強效的尼古丁還要強烈。
\"i''ve felt that way a lot,\" goku muttered, snapping gohan out of his spell. “我經常有這種感覺，”goku嘟囔著，打破了gohan的沉默。 \"i wasn''t just angry at raditz back then, either. 我當時不僅僅是對拉迪茨感到憤怒。 he beat me in one kick. 他用一腳就擊敗了我。 i work so hard to be as strong as i can and couldn''t even protect my own son. 我努力提升實力，盡力保護自己的兒子，但卻無能為力。 if i''da been strong enough-\" 如果我足夠強大——”
\"i wouldn''t have even been there,\" gohan pleted with a smirk. “我根本就不會在那裏，”gohan滿意地補充道。 \"yeah, they said that plenty. 是的，他們說了很多次。 eventually, i believed it. 最終，我相信了。 that''s the biggest reason i was so nasty to you when i first got here. 這就是我剛到這裏對你那麽惡劣的主要原因。 \" \"yeah, i''d bet. 是的，我敢打賭。 i hate to admit it, but i''m not even sure i was so down just because you were gone. 我不願承認，但我甚至不確定我之所以如此沮喪，僅僅是因為你不在了。 after i beat polo and finally got over the martial arts tournament hump, i thought i was the baddest dude around; now it turns out i had a brother in space who could just kick my ass like that? to the point where i couldn''t even save my own son?\" goku swung his fist. 在我打敗比克羅之後，終於克服了武道大會的困境，我以為我是最牛的家夥；現在結果卻是，我在太空中有一個可以輕易揍我屁股的兄弟？以至於我甚至救不了我自己的兒子？”goku揮了揮拳頭。 \"man. 天哪。 i was so disgusted. 我真是惡心透了。 \"
gohan snickered. \"then i don''t know if you would''ve gotten a kick out of it or just been even madder if you saw where raditz really stood in the grand scheme of things. have you ever wondered why he took me away?\" gohan笑了起來。“那麽，我不知道你是會覺得好笑，還是會更生氣，如果你知道拉迪茨在整個計劃中的真實地位。你曾經想過他為什麽把我帶走嗎？”
goku''s brows lined together in thought. \"i always figured it was either a trap, or worse. i never wanted to think too hard about it, to be honest.\" goku皺起眉頭思考著。“我一直以為那要麽是一個陷阱，要麽更糟。說實話，我從來都不願意想太多。”
\"i''m sure you''ve already figured out how those scouters we wear measure people''s ki. well, the reading he got from me was twice as strong as yours.\" “我敢肯定你已經想到了我們佩戴的探測器是如何測量人們的氣的。嗯，他從我的探測器讀到的數值是你的兩倍強。”
goku nearly fell over. \"what?! seriously?! i mean, you being stronger when you came back made sense, but even as just a little ol'' baby?! it took a lifetime of trainin'' just to get the little bit of power i had back then; chi-chi didn''t even let you train and you were that good! unbe-frickin''-lievable!\" goku幾乎摔倒。“什麽？！真的嗎？！我的意思是，你迴來時更強有道理，但你隻是一個小小的嬰兒？！我花了一輩子的時間才恢複到那時的一點點實力；而且琪琪甚至不讓你練功，你就有那麽厲害！真是難以置信！”
\"yeah. believe it or not, raditz was actually a wimp. i was stronger than him right off the bat. he was basically the punching bag, and prettyzy at that,\" gohan said with a chuckle towards goku''s visible frustration. “是的。信不信由你，拉迪茨其實是個懦夫。我一開始就比他強大。他基本上就是一個沙袋，而且相當懶惰。” gohan笑著對著表現出明顯沮喪的goku說道。
\"the guy that beat me in one kick was a wimp, and my four-year-old toddler of a son was a more worthy ally than i was,\" goku looked up with an irritable, hysterical smirk. “那個用一腳打敗我的家夥是個懦夫，而我的四歲小孩子卻比我更值得信任，” goku怒氣衝衝地仰起頭，帶著一絲病態的笑容。
\"if raditz had stuck around you might''ve won the whole fight for us by ident. now i''m wonderin'' if goten could''ve taken frieza out in one hit!\" “如果拉迪茨一直在你身邊，你可能會無意間贏得整場戰鬥。現在我在想，孫悟天是否可以一擊將弗利薩打倒！”
at the mention of goten, gohan looked down and idly tapped his fingers against the tiles. an unfortable grunt gave away his disposition to his father. 一提到孫悟天，悟飯低頭，漫不經心地敲擊著瓷磚。他不舒服地咕噥了一聲，向父親透露了他的心情。
\"sorry-\" “對不起——”
\"no,\" gohan interrupted. \"it''s fine.\" “不，”悟飯打斷了他。“沒關係。”
\"well, i meant, sorry i kinda kept it a secret from you at first,\" goku replied. \"i mean, not that i had a chance to ever say anything about it with all the fightin'', but it shouldn''t have had to e out by ident. guess i knew you''d feel a way about it.\" “嗯，我的意思是，對不起，我一開始有點瞞著你。”悟空迴答道。“我的意思不是我有機會說什麽，畢竟我們一直在戰鬥，但這不應該是偶然才被揭示出來的。我猜我知道你會對此有所感觸。”
\"i was being a brat. i expected you and mom to be as lonely and miserable as i was.\" “我當時真是個小壞蛋。我以為你和媽媽會和我一樣孤單和痛苦。”
\"we definitely were before him. every time your mom would pass by your room, she''d start cryin''. we knew we could never rece you, but we just wanted to make things a little brighter. it was actually bulma''s suggestion.\" “在他出生之前，我們確實是這樣。每次你媽媽經過你的房間，她都會開始哭泣。我們知道我們永遠無法取代你，但我們隻是想讓事情變得更加明亮一些。其實這是布爾瑪的建議。”
goku gazed into the ck abyss of space through the window with razor-sharp eyes. \"goku用銳利的眼神凝視著透過窗戶的黑暗深淵。 \"it made me train even harder. \"這讓我更加努力地訓練。 i wasn''t going to let anything happen to him. 我不會讓任何事情發生在他身上。 i needed to prove i could protect my own son. 我需要證明我能保護自己的兒子。\"
just seeing him sitting cross-legged, gohan could see that fiery saiyan spirit swimming in his father''s eyes, only he had a greater purpose than just being stronger. 隻是看到他盤腿坐著，悟飯就能看到他父親眼中那股熾熱的賽亞人精神，隻是他的目標不僅僅是變得更強。 a few momentster, his expression lightened back up to augh. 幾秒鍾後，他的表情又變得輕鬆愉快，笑了起來。 \"''course, look how that turned out. 當然，看看最後的結果。 i did all this work to protect my new son, and now it turns out my first son''s the one that''s gotta protect me! i''m ckin''. 我付出了這麽多努力來保護我的新兒子，現在結果是我的大兒子要來保護我！我真是懶散啊。\"
gohan shook his head. 悟飯搖了搖頭。 that couldn''t have been further from the truth; if goku hadn''t have nearly destroyed himself to defeat avocado, they wouldn''t have even gotten far enough to beat frieza; if goku hadn''t protected gohan from himself, he would have wiped out all of earth. 這與事實完全不符；如果不是goku幾乎為了擊敗avocado而犧牲自己，他們甚至都沒有足夠的力量來打敗frieza；如果goku沒有保護悟飯免受自己的傷害，他可能會摧毀整個地球。
\"i''m startin'' to understand this whole saiyan thing. 我開始理解這整個賽亞人的事情了。 i guess i always had it in me even when i didn''t know it,\" goku said. 我猜我一直都有這種能力，即使在我不知道的時候。”goku說道。 \"here we are, talkin'' about all the crap they put us through and we''re still tryin'' to bring one of ''em back. \"我們現在談論的是他們給我們帶來的所有麻煩，而我們仍然在試圖把其中一個人帶迴來。
\"i should hate those guys,\" gohan said, referring to vegeta along with nappa and raditz. \"我應該恨那些家夥們，\" 悟飯說道，指的是vegeta以及nappa和raditz。 \"i''m pretty sure they wanted me to, even. but i can''t. \"我很確定他們甚至希望我這樣，但是我不能。
\"yeah. i think i realized that in the time chamber with vegeta,\" goku mused, looking up at the ceiling with an admiring smile. \"是的。 我想我在和vegeta在時光之間的修行中意識到了這一點，\" goku沉思著，仰望著天花板，麵帶讚歎的微笑。 \"that guy, man. i thought i was nuts, but he''s a friggin'' maniac. he barely even cares about his own wellbeing, let alone anybody else''s. i guess when your life''s one big battle royale, it don''t matter if it''s a grown man or a little kid. if you can walk, you can fight. \"那家夥，夥計。 我以為我瘋了，但他簡直就是個瘋子。 他幾乎不關心自己的安危，更別說其他人了。 我想當你的生活就是一個巨大的混戰時，無論是成年人還是小孩都無所謂。 隻要你能行走，就能戰鬥。
\"that''s how it was. we lived in our safe little bubble on earth,\" gohan began, looking into the vacuum he had traveled on countless asions. \"就是這樣。 我們在地球上生活在我們安全的小世界裏，\"悟飯開始說道，眺望著他曾多次穿梭的真空中。 \"but out there, you''re either strong, or you aren''t. raditz had been fighting life or death battles since he was the same age i was when he showed up. we were the crazy ones in their eyes. \"但在那裏，要麽你很強大，要麽你不行。 raditz從他出現時起就一直在進行生死戰鬥。 在他們看來，我們是瘋子。
\"it''s weird, ain''t it?\" \"這很奇怪，不是嗎？\"
\"at least those guys just wanted me to be strong. they weren''t trying to torture me or humiliate me like frieza. \"至少那些家夥隻是希望我變強。 他們並不像frieza那樣試圖折磨我或羞辱我。
once i proved myself, they epted me. \"在我證明了自己之後，他們接受了我，\"悟飯迴憶起他們一起戰鬥的時候，自豪感湧上了他的胸膛。 \"i''ve saved their lives, and they''ve saved mine. \"我救過他們的命，他們也救過我的命。
\"vegeta''s got nothin'' to prove to me,\" goku replied. \"i mean, he''s still a pretty nasty guy, but if he would take a beam for you like that, he''s okay with me. \"“對於我來說，vegeta不需要證明什麽，\" goku迴答道。 \"我的意思是，他仍然是一個相當惡劣的家夥，但如果他願意為你擋下那樣的攻擊，他對我來說沒問題。
gohan looked up at the spaceship''s control panel – he and vegeta had waged many fights within the walls of the spaceship to prepare for frieza, pushing themselves to their limits and beyond. gohan抬頭看著飛船的控製麵板——他和vegeta曾經在飛船的牆壁內進行過許多戰鬥，為了準備對抗frieza，他們將自己推向極限以上。 they''d taken out many of their frustrations with each other knowing if they couldn''t survive, they wouldn''t have been worth much. 他們互相宣泄了許多的不滿情緒，因為他們知道如果他們不能活下來，他們的價值將不大。 but in the end, vegeta had proven he was worth plenty. 但最終，vegeta證明了他的價值是很大的。 he was worth going above and beyond to revive. 他值得我們不惜一切代價來複活他。
\"i''m still confused about one thing, though,\" goku cut in. \"i mean, she seemed like a pletely different person from the one who helped us get on the nimbus. ''cause some things weren''t addin'' up. \"“但是有一件事我仍然感到困惑，\" goku插話道。 \"我的意思是，她似乎和那個幫助我們登上筋鬥雲的人完全不一樣。 因為有些事情似乎不太對勁。
gohanughed. \"it''s a long story... \"悟飯笑了起來。 \"這是一個漫長的故事...
day six had arrived. 第六天已經到來。
the efforts to make goku a super saiyan still hadn''t yielded any luck, but gohan figured they had plenty of time between namek and wherever they''d find cooler. 試圖讓悟空成為超級賽亞人的努力仍然沒有帶來任何好運，但是悟飯覺得他們在納美克星和找到庫拉的地方之間有足夠的時間。
if it happened, it would happen, and at worst, gohan could take care of them himself, anyway. 如果發生了，就發生了，最壞的情況下，悟飯可以自己照顧他們。
through the window a few feet across, gohan could see a green sphere expanding in size with every passing second. 透過幾英尺遠的窗戶，悟飯可以看到一個綠色的球體正在不斷擴大。
\"heh, figures the would be green,\" goku said, ing up from the second floor in a fresh uniform. \"嗬嗬，想得到星球會是綠色的，\"悟空說著，穿著一身新製服從二樓走了出來。
gohan rolled his eyes and studied its appearance. 悟飯翻了翻白眼，仔細觀察著它的外觀。
\"mencing thending on namek,\" said the automated voice from the control panel''s speakers. \"開始著陸納美克星，\"控製麵板的揚聲器裏傳來自動化的聲音。
the space capsule elerated and made its plunge down into the green sphere''s atmosphere. 太空艙加速並衝入綠色球體的大氣層。
as it drew in closer, gohan narrowed his eyes in focus; it wasn''t the mission that brought him urgency, but a presence that grew stronger in his mind the closer they fell. 當它越來越接近時，悟飯眯起眼睛集中注意力；讓他緊張的不是任務，而是在他們跌落的過程中越來越強烈的存在感。
\"do you feel that, father?\" \"你感覺到了嗎，父親？\"
goku raised a confused eyebrow until the signal hit him like lightning. 悟空挑起困惑的眉毛，直到信號像閃電一樣打到他身上。
\"whoa. i''m pickin'' up some pretty big ki. \"哇。我感受到了一些相當強大的氣。
\"two of them.\"
\"其中有兩個。\"
and that wasn''t the most disconcerting part – these powers felt familiar. they weren''t an exact match to the man that was on his mind, but they certainly felt rotten enough.
而最讓人不安的部分不是這個——這些力量感覺很熟悉。它們與他所想的那個人並不完全相符，但肯定足夠邪惡。
\"they both feel like frieza''s…\"
\"它們都感覺像是弗裏薩的……\"
\"you''re right,\" goku replied, his breath running thin. \"could it be his father and brother?!\"
\"你說得對，\"悟空迴答道，他的唿吸變得微弱起來。\"會不會是他的父親和哥哥？！\"
\"has to be.\"
\"肯定是的。\"
gohan blocked everything out, ignoring goku''s questions and the automated voice''s informing of theirndfall to devise a n. both of their ki''s felt in the same caliber of power as frieza''s - not his 100% power, but close enough. gohan suspected cooler may have always been in the state frieza had been on earth, but his father may have been a different story. that being said, goku would still be a valuable asset against them, super saiyan or not.
悟飯屏蔽了一切，不理會悟空的問題和自動化的聲音通知他們著陸，以製定一個計劃。他們兩個的氣感覺起來和弗裏薩的力量相當——雖然不是他的100%力量，但足夠接近。悟飯懷疑庫拉可能一直處於弗裏薩在地球上的狀態，但他父親可能是另外一迴事。也就是說，無論是否是超級賽亞人，悟空仍然是一個寶貴的資產對付他們。
the sound of the ship''s door opening and the ramp sliding down snapped gohan out of his trance. alongside his father, he floated out of the ship and into the environment of namek. they hadnded on a teau shrouded in the same type of blue grass that kiyomi smoked, while the sky possessed a rich shade of green lined by yellow.
飛船門打開和斜坡滑下的聲音讓悟飯從恍惚中清醒過來。他與父親一起漂浮出飛船，進入納美克星的環境。他們降落在一個由kiyomi抽的同種類型的藍色草覆蓋的高原上，而天空則呈現出一種豐富的綠色，被黃色勾勒出線條。
clouds.
雲。
ahead of them were a series of inds big and small, all identical to each other – beautiful grass and a few trees, frogs hopping about.
在他們前麵是一係列大小不一的島嶼，彼此完全相同——美麗的草地和幾棵樹，青蛙跳來跳去。
despite the two odious ki signatures, the atmosphere instilled gohan with a sense of calm.
盡管有著兩個令人討厭的氣氛，但這種氛圍給了悟飯一種平靜的感覺。
it was exactly as king kai had implied.
正如界王所暗示的那樣。
gohan wondered what polo would have thought of the.
悟飯想知道琪琪羅會對這個星球有什麽看法。
\"huh, this is pretty much earth in reverse,\" goku remarked, observing thendscape with the dragon radar in hand.
“呃，這基本上是地球的倒影，”悟空說道，一手拿著龍珠雷達觀察著周圍的景色。
\"awesome, this ce really does have dragon balls! but it looks like a few of the balls are already gathered together,\" goku said after checking the radar. \"and it''s the same spot where i sense those two power levels.\"
“太棒了，這個地方真的有龍珠！但看起來有幾顆龍珠已經聚集在一起了，”悟空在檢查雷達後說道。“而且正是我感受到那兩個力量水平的同一個地點。”
with a snarl, gohan kicked the grass. \"they''re after the dragon balls and beat us here. but how?! how could they know about them?\"
悟飯咆哮著踢了一腳草。“他們追逐龍珠並且比我們先到這裏。但是怎麽可能？他們怎麽會知道它們的存在？”
\"well,pis said ginyu was the one who mentioned the possibility of dragon balls on namek, right?\"
“嗯，萊皮斯說吉尼是提到納美克星可能有龍珠的人，對吧？”
\"the scouter,\" gohan grumbled. \"the damn scouter. one of them must''ve been monitoring the situation on earth and overheard it.\"
“那個偵察儀，”悟飯嘟囔著。“該死的偵察儀。他們中的一個肯定在監視地球的情況並無意中聽到了。”
\"so, they probably know frieza was defeated and now they''re trying to make a wish so they can get a leg up before they fight us.
“所以，他們可能知道弗裏薩已經被打敗了，現在他們正在試圖許個願望，這樣他們就能在和我們戰鬥之前占據優勢。
\"then it''s a good thing we got here when we did.\"
\"那麽我們及時到達真是件好事。\"
goku nodded. \"yeah. we can''t afford to waste any time, so let''s go after them.\"
悟空點了點頭。“對。我們不能浪費時間，所以我們追上他們。”
\"hold on,\" gohan said, motioning his arm towards his father. \"we can''t afford to put the in jeopardy before we have all the dragon balls. let''s gather up the remaining balls under their noses. these guys rely entirely on their scouters, so we can sneak around without using our ki.\"
“等一下，”悟飯說著，向父親示意。“在我們擁有所有龍珠之前，我們不能讓星球處於危險之中。讓我們在他們麵前收集剩下的龍珠。這些家夥完全依賴於他們的偵察儀，所以我們可以在不使用氣的情況下悄悄繞過。”
\"good n. hell, maybe we can even try catching them off-guard,\" goku mused. \"you think you can tap into super saiyan yet?\"
“好計劃。該死的，也許我們甚至可以試試出其不意地抓住他們，”悟空沉思道。“你覺得你現在能進入超級賽亞人狀態了嗎？”
\"maybe,\" gohan replied with a cautious breath. \"let''s just figure things out as we go.\"
“也許吧，”悟飯謹慎地迴答道。“讓我們邊走邊想清楚吧。”
gohan led the way, hopping from penins to penins and growing keener on goku''s idea of a sneak attack. he knew enough about how frieza operated to figure his n had likely taken the dragon balls they already had by force.
悟飯帶路，從半島跳到半島，越來越認同悟空的悄悄襲擊的想法。他對弗裏薩的作戰方式有足夠的了解，可以推測他的族人很可能通過武力奪取了他們已經擁有的龍珠。
allowing deaths to pile up would be the coward''s way. 讓死亡堆積起來將是懦夫的做法。
and so, he headed for those two big ki signatures, going until they reached the edge of a cliff above a vige of white, spherical houses. 因此，他朝著那兩個強大的氣氛前進，一直走到他們到達一個邊緣懸崖上方的白色圓形房屋村莊。
he crouched down to maintain a low profile, as did goku. 他蹲下身子保持低調，悟空也是如此。
down in the vige stood several aliens who, while possessing various shapes, sizes, all looked just like polo and god. 住在村莊裏的幾個外星人，雖然形狀、大小各異，但都長得像皮克洛和神一樣。
even their clothes were simr, which made gohan wish he had gotten another one of polo''s outfits made to demonstrate he wasn''t there for trouble; instead, he looked like an associate of the two men ransacking the. 甚至他們的衣服也很相似，這讓悟飯希望他能做一套皮克洛的衣服，以示他不是來鬧事的；相反，他看起來像是兩個在劫掠這個星球的人的夥伴。
everyst one of them quivered in fear, their eyes engorged and directed to the ignominious figures in the center of the vige. 他們每一個人都恐懼地顫抖著，眼睛凸出，目光盯著村莊中心那些可恥的人物。
one of them, a spitting image of frieza''s first form, only triple the size; king cold. 其中一個，長得酷似弗裏薩第一形態，隻是體積翻了三倍；寇酷王。
right next to him, a man both rigid and rxed who resembled an inverted, purple version of frieza''s final form – that man was cooler. 緊挨著他的是一個既嚴肅又放鬆的人，看起來像是弗裏薩最終形態的顛倒、紫色版本——那個人就是庫拉。
both wore scouters. they looked just like they had in the live streams from frieza''s conference rooms. 他們都戴著偵察儀。他們看起來就像在弗裏薩的會議室裏的直播中那樣。
\"must be them, huh?\" goku asked. \"they certainly look the part.\"
“肯定是他們吧？”悟空問道。“他們看起來確實很像。”
they weren''t alone, either. also with them were a band of cooler force soldiers led by a familiar trio. 他們並不是孤身一人。他們還有一支由熟悉的三人組成的庫拉軍隊。
there was neiz, thenky, brown toad. dore, the green behemoth with ck hair. and then, salza, the blue-skinned blonde who had given gohan the scar on his chest. 其中有尼茲，瘦高的、棕色的蟾蜍；多爾，綠色的巨獸，黑發；然後，薩爾紮，藍皮膚的金發人，曾在悟飯的胸口留下傷疤。
while king cold observed the terror-stricken namekians with an amused smile, cooler regarded them with impatience. he whipped his tail against the grass, littering dust onto the three enormous dragon balls gathered beside his feet.
當寇酷王帶著一絲嘲笑觀察著恐懼的納美克人時，庫拉則不耐煩地注視著他們。他用尾巴抽打著草地，把塵土撒在他腳旁聚集的三顆巨大的龍珠上。
\"let''s make this simple, because the routine''s already gotten old after the first three times – hand me the dragon balls, or i''ll kill everyst one of you.\"
\"讓我們簡化這個問題，因為這套常規在第一次之後已經變得陳舊——把龍珠交給我，否則我會殺死你們每個人。\"
\"ah, shit,\" gohan hissed. hearing cooler''s rougher, more masculine voice in person for the first time sent a chill down his spine.
\"啊，該死，\"悟飯嘶聲道。第一次親自聽到庫拉粗糙而更有男子氣概的聲音讓他背脊發冷。
\"damn, he''s probably already killed plenty of these guys already then,\" goku growled, digging his fingers into the grass. \"no way can we let that happen.\"
\"該死，他可能已經殺死了很多這些家夥了，\"悟空咆哮著，將手指插入草地中。“絕對不能讓這種事發生。”
\"i know,\" gohan replied. even if they could be wished back, gohan didn''t want anybody to feel the trauma of death. \"the moment they attack, we''ll catch them slipping.\"
“我知道，”悟飯迴答道。即使他們可以被複活，悟飯也不想讓任何人經曆死亡的創傷。“一旦他們發動攻擊，我們就會抓住他們的破綻。”
\"gotcha. we''ll know when it gets out of hand.\"
\"明白了。一旦情況失控我們就會知道的。\"
an older, portly namekian in a red vest stepped in front, while two namekian children who appeared close to gohan''s age shuddered nervously behind him. \"i don''t know anything about this dragon ball business. please leave.\"
一個年長的、肥胖的納美克人穿著紅色馬甲走到前麵，而兩個看起來和悟飯年紀相仿的納美克人孩子戰戰兢兢地站在他身後。“我對這個龍珠的事一無所知。請離開。”
cooler merely chuckled at the elder''s words. \"just like the other elders, then. they all said the same thing, pleading ignorance. you keep up the charade, you''ll end up in the pile of corpses with the rest of them.\"
庫拉隻是對長老的話輕笑。“就像其他長老一樣。他們都說了同樣的話，請求無知。你繼續保持這種假象，你最終會和其他人一起躺在屍體堆裏。”
the namekians were left aghast, standing frozen in fear. the elder nearly fell over in horror. \"no…you wouldn''t!\"
納美克人驚恐萬分，嚇得站在原地一動不動。長老幾乎被嚇得摔倒。“不……你不會這麽做！”
\"dammit, it really is true,\" goku said.
“該死，這真的是真的，”悟空說道。
a smirk spread across cooler''s purple lips, every bit as sadistic as his brother''s. \"i wouldn''t? you must not have heard of me, old man. i''m known across the universe for many things, most of all the plete annihtion i''ve brought to every i''ve crossed paths with.\"
庫拉的紫色嘴唇上浮現出一絲冷笑，與他兄弟的表情一樣邪惡。“我不會？你肯定沒聽說過我，老家夥。我在整個宇宙都以許多事情聞名，尤其是我在與每個星球交匯處帶來的徹底毀滅。”
cooler took a grand step forward, alerting not just the namekians, but the two saiyans covertly observing them.
庫拉大步向前邁去，不僅引起了納美克人的警覺，還引起了暗中觀察他們的兩個賽亞人的警覺。
\"but you know what i''m not known for? patience. i don''t want to hear any bullshit about tests of valor or character.\"
\"但你知道我不以什麽聞名嗎？耐心。我不想聽到任何關於勇氣或品德考驗的胡扯。\"
cooler mockingly folded his arms while his smirk spread. \"in fact, if you choose to be the first one to not make this difficult, i''ll even spare you and your vige. do please spread the word to the remaining ones, will you?\"
庫拉嘲笑地雙臂交叉，冷笑擴散開來。“事實上，如果你選擇成為第一個不讓事情變得困難的人，我甚至會放過你和你的村莊。請把這個消息傳給剩下的人，好嗎？\"
\"why should i believe you?!\" the elder sneered. \"you are a shameless murderer - your word means nothing!\"
\"我為什麽要相信你？！\"老長老嘲笑著說道。“你是一個無恥的殺人犯——你的話毫無意義！\"
king cold chuckled like he had merely heard a clever joke. \"well, he has you there, son!\"
寇酷王笑了起來，就像他隻是聽到一個聰明的笑話一樣。“嗯，他說得沒錯，孩子！\"
with a proud chuckle, cooler closed his eyes and lowered his arms. \"i never was as good of a liar as myte brother, was i?\"
庫拉得意地笑著，閉上了眼睛，放下了雙臂。“我從來沒有像我已故的兄弟那樣善於說謊，對吧？\"
he opened his eyes back up, aiming his blood-red pupils at everyst namekian.
他再次睜開眼睛，將血紅色的瞳孔對準每一個納美克人。
\"you''re right. i was going to kill you all even if you talked.\"
\"你說得對。即使你們開口說話，我也會殺死你們所有人。\"
before the elder tyrant even had a chance to react, five younger namekians lunged at him with the same intentions. of all the namekians, they resembled polo the most. before they could get even an inch in the air, and before goku and gohan could move, a pair of beams from cooler''s eyes incinerated them all and left their charred bodies in a pile right besides the dragon balls they had tried to protect.
在老長老惡霸甚至來得及反應之前，五個年輕的納美克人衝向他，意圖相同。在所有納美克人中，他們最像皮克洛。在他們甚至能飛起一英寸之前，在悟空和悟飯還沒來得及動之前，庫拉的雙眼發出的兩束光束將他們全部焚燒，將他們焦黑的屍體堆在了他們試圖保護的龍珠旁邊。
after a contemptuous re towards the green scrap heap, cooler redirected his sights to the elder – specifically, the two boys cowering behind his legs.
在對綠色廢墟投以蔑視的一瞥之後，庫拉將目光轉向了長老——準確地說，是躲在他腿後的兩個男孩。
\"have i mentioned i''m great with kids?\"
“我有提過我很擅長與孩子相處嗎？”
that was enough.
這就足夠了。
with no regard for whatever erratic n he had, gohan stormed down from the cliff and delivered a crushing knee right to cooler''s skull that knocked the scouter right off his ear. goku flew right down with him, standing behind gohan with his back turned to ward off any sneak attacks. cooler''s soldiers surrounded the father & son duo and lunged at them, but a simple pair of kiai shouts sent all of them skyward.
悟飯毫不顧及他的任何亂七八糟的計劃，從懸崖上衝下來，用強大的膝蓋直接擊中庫拉的頭骨，將偵察儀打落他的耳朵。悟空緊隨其後，站在悟飯身後，背對著他，防止任何偷襲。庫拉的士兵們包圍了父子二人，並向他們撲去，但簡單的兩聲氣功喊聲將他們全部擊飛。
cooler unleashed a string of angry curses as he got up and vaporized the one soldier who possessed the misfortune of flying towards him. once he got up and took a closer look, his temper cooled.
庫拉在站起來的時候爆發出一連串憤怒的咒罵，他將那個不幸朝他飛來的士兵蒸發掉。一旦他站起來並仔細觀察，他的脾氣就冷靜了下來。
\"ah, well if it isn''t the match that lit the me. little son gohan,\" he beamed. \"and you – you look just like the man i saw on the projection who opposed frieza''s destruction of your home. now i see; you must be gohan''s father. the ship i let escape.\"
“啊，好吧，這不是點燃了火焰的火柴嗎？小孫悟飯，”他笑容滿麵。“而你——你看起來就像我在投影上看到的那個反對弗裏薩摧毀你的家園的男人。現在我明白了，你一定是悟飯的父親。那艘逃走的飛船。”
cooler swung his head back and cackled into the green skies, motioning towards his armored squadron. \"how fitting is this, boys?! you three were there when it happened; you remember what i said, right?\"
庫拉扭頭向後，對著綠色的天空狂笑，示意他的裝甲小隊。“這多麽合適，夥計們！你們三個都在場；你們還記得我說過什麽嗎？”
\"i believe you said that ship was frieza''s mess, now,\" salza said from his thick ent.
“我記得你說過那艘飛船是弗裏薩弄出來的麻煩，現在是嗎？”薩爾紮帶著濃重的口音說道。
\"and sure enough, it resulted in his end. a great tragedy indeed,\" he obit with callous indifference for his brother.
“果然，這導致了他的滅亡。的確是一場巨大的悲劇，”他冷漠地追悼著他的兄弟。
\"ugh, it''s just so heartbreaking,\" king cold added with a whimper betrayed by his blithe grin while he nodded towards goku. \"you can rte, right, orange fellow? you try to instill your son with values, and responsibility, only for them to blow you off, left to learn their lesson only when it''s toote. s, negligence was his achille''s heel.\"
“呃，這太令人心碎了。”寇酷王低聲抱怨著，但他的輕鬆笑容背叛了他的哀號，同時他朝著悟空點了點頭。“你能理解吧，橙色家夥？你試圖灌輸你兒子價值觀和責任感，結果他們卻把你拒之門外，隻有在太遲時才能吸取教訓。唉，疏忽成了他的致命傷。”
\"enough of this,\" gohan snapped, peeved by cold''s theatrics that he had clearly passed down to his son. \"why are you after the dragon balls?!\"
“夠了！”悟飯怒斥道，對寇酷王明顯傳給他兒子的戲劇化行為感到惱火。“你為什麽追逐龍珠？！”
\"i heard ginyu mention them and decided to look into it myself,\" cooler replied, confirming goku and gohan''s suspicion. \"after i learned of frieza''s defeat, i wasn''t going to take my chances. i came here to bestow myself with immortality before i arrived to earth and crushed you. but i see you''ve expedited your fate.\"
“我聽到吉尼說起過它們，於是決定自己來調查一下，”庫拉迴答道，證實了悟空和悟飯的猜想。“在得知弗裏薩被擊敗之後，我不打算冒險。我來這裏賜予自己永生，然後到達地球，將你們碾壓。但我看到你們已經加快了自己的命運。”
gohan''s confidence tugged against the corners of his lips. \"if you know i''ve defeated frieza, then you must know i''ve bee a super saiyan!\"
悟飯的自信牽動著他嘴角的肌肉。“如果你知道我已經擊敗了弗裏薩，那麽你肯定知道我已經成為了超級賽亞人！”
what gohan expected was for cooler to project that same look of despair as frieza – agape mouth, engorged eyes, and a shivering body. instead, cooler maintained his smirk, raised his hands…and pped? even king cold, who had expressed some trepidation, eyed his son curiously as his apuse rolled on.
悟飯預料到庫拉會像弗裏薩那樣表現出絕望的表情——張大嘴巴、凸出的眼睛和顫抖的身體。然而，庫拉保持著冷笑，舉起雙手……鼓掌？甚至連曾經表現出一些不安的寇酷王也好奇地注視著兒子，隨著掌聲持續響起。
\"congrattions, son gohan,\" cooler said, continuing to p as he marched towards his father. both gohan and goku stood stiff, weary of his cryptic ns. \"a most impressive feat indeed. you fulfilled the tall tale, and extinguished our n''s most infamous member.\"
“恭喜你，孫悟飯，”庫拉說著，繼續鼓掌向他的父親走去。悟飯和悟空都站得筆直，對他神秘的計劃心存戒備。“確實是一項非常令人印象深刻的成就。你實現了那個傳奇故事，並消滅了我們族中最臭名昭著的成員。”
\"but super saiyan or not, our bined forces can take you,\" king cold added.
“不管是超級賽亞人還是普通人，我們的聯合力量可以擊敗你，”寇酷王補充道。
cooler side-eyed his father. \"bined?\"
庫拉斜眼看著他的父親。“聯合？”
and then, he grabbed one of king cold''s horns with one hand, created a de of ki around the other, and sliced his head clean from his shoulders.
然後，他一隻手抓住寇酷王的一隻角，另一隻手周圍形成一道氣刃，將他的頭從肩膀上幹淨地切割下來。
not a single person standing in the vige – not the namekians, not the two saiyans, and certainly not the soldiers – contained their shock. the massive body of king cold sunk into the blue des of grass, while its blood-spewing head hung in the hand of his cackling son.
站在村子裏的任何一個人——不管是納美克人，還是兩個賽亞人，當然也包括士兵們——都無法掩飾他們的震驚。寇酷王龐大的身體沉入藍色的草叢中，而噴血的頭顱則懸掛在他兒子手中發出狂笑。
\"what the fuck?!\" gohan screamed.
“他媽的？！”悟飯尖叫道。
\"surprised?\" cooler asked, marveling at his work. \"well, son gohan, i''ll have you know i was the only one who believed in you – and you''ve given me what i''ve always wanted.\"
“感到驚訝了嗎？”庫拉問道，對他的作品感到驚奇。“嗯，孫悟飯，我要告訴你，我是唯一相信你的人——而你給了我我一直想要的東西。”
even while trying to pick up the shattered pieces of his brain, gohan wretched at such a twisted notion. his suspicion about cooler''s allegiances had been right all along.
盡管試圖拾起他破碎的大腦，悟飯對這種扭曲的想法感到惡心。他對庫拉的忠誠的懷疑一直是正確的。
like it was a mere basketball and not the source of the egg he hatched from, cooler chucked his father''s head at sauzer. his blue subordinate fumbled it in both hands a few times while restraining a rush of vomit in his cheeks.
就像是一個普通的籃球，而不是他孵化出來的蛋的來源，庫拉將他父親的頭扔向索紮。他的藍色部下在用雙手接住的時候摸了幾次，同時抑製住嘴角湧出的嘔吐感。
\"salza!\" cooler called. \"put that in the gship and hang it on my mantle.\"
“薩爾紮！”庫拉叫道。“把那個放在旗艦上，掛在我的壁爐上。”
\"y-yes sir,\" salza replied with a gag. whilst clutching his stomach, he flew away.
“是，先生，”薩爾紮咽了口唾沫答道。他一邊抱著肚子，一邊飛走了。
\"um…ya kinda lost me…\" goku stammered.
“嗯……你有點把我弄糊塗了……”悟空結結巴巴地說道。
gohan watched salza''s flight before twisting his head back towards cooler with no genuine idea of what awaited. all bets were off. despite the bold murder that left he and goku with one less opponent to worry about, gohan couldn''t help the ominous rumbling in his stomach.
悟飯注視著薩爾紮飛走，然後將頭扭迴庫拉，對即將發生的事情一無所知。所有的賭注都取消了。盡管膽大妄為的謀殺讓他和悟空少了一個需要擔心的對手，但悟飯無法控製自己肚子裏那種不祥的隱隱作痛感。
\"what''s there to misunderstand?\" cooler mischievously asked. \"i''ve wanted my sissy little brat of a brother dead for decades now. killing my father was a bit gratuitous i''ll admit, but his guard was down and i don''t like people breathing down my neck.\"
“有什麽可誤解的？”庫拉調皮地問道。“幾十年來，我一直希望我的膽小娘們弟弟死掉。我承認殺了我父親有點多餘，但他沒有警惕心，而且我不喜歡別人在我身後窺視。”
\"w-what are you talking about?\" gohan asked.
“你在說什麽？”悟飯問道。
\"for all hisundry list of ws, frieza was remarkably intelligent. he would never let me lure him into a situation where i could take him one-on-one in a fair fight. getting rid of him meant i''d have to force my father to make the tough decision,\" cooler''s expression was almost nostalgic and wistful as he recalled past memories. \"you remember ka, right?\"
“盡管他有一長串的缺點，弗裏薩非常聰明。他永遠不會讓我誘使他進入一個公平的一對一戰鬥的局麵。除掉他意味著我必須迫使我父親做出艱難的決定，”庫拉迴憶起過去的記憶時，他的表情幾乎帶有懷舊和留戀。“你還記得卡布尼特，對嗎？”
gohan''s jaw fell at lightning speed. \"what?! how…?! that doesn''t make sense!\"
悟飯的下巴迅速地垂了下來。“什麽？！怎麽可能……？！這沒有道理！”
\"i don''t me you for thinking so – he would have said the same thing, had he actually known i was aiding him in the shadows. peconne – his scientist, the brains behind his operation. he was a secret gift from yours truly.\"
“我不怪你這麽想——如果他真的知道我在暗中幫助他，他也會說同樣的話。佩康——他的科學家，他行動背後的智囊。他是我親自送給他的秘密禮物。”
while gohan had no idea who he had been referring to, the next name rang a bell – \"peconne put him in touch with boysen, and the rest was history.\"
雖然悟飯不知道他指的是誰，但下一個名字讓他有所耳聞——“佩康將他與博伊森聯係起來，其他的就成為曆史了。”
boysen. the traitor who had sent gohan, vegeta, and nappa into a deathtrap on linden. where gohan had been dead to rights until a girl with eyes as blue as the ice that had killed her arrived.
博伊森。這個背叛者把悟飯、貝吉塔和納帕送入了在林登星上的死亡陷阱。在那裏，悟飯本來已經死定了，直到一個眼睛像殺死她的冰一樣藍的女孩出現。
\"my n was rather simple. once i learned of ka''s operation, i was going to let his little empire grow into a problem. have peconne lure a few more of frieza''s higher ranking men to his side until father grew sick of his negligence once and for all. but then you came and blew it all up, didn''t you?\"
“我的計劃非常簡單。一旦我了解到卡布尼特的行動，我就打算讓他的小帝國變成一個問題。讓佩康將更多的弗裏薩高級部下引誘到他的一方，直到父親終於對他的疏忽感到厭倦。但然後你出現了，把一切都毀了，對吧？”
gohan idly nodded.
悟飯漫不經心地點了點頭。
much like his brother would, cooler poshly chuckled. \"don''t worry, i have no hard feelings. you opened my eyes, actually. to see frieza''s end by a hand besides my own, i''d have to invest in the saiyans'' strength. he always did fear you apes. why else do you think i had my men supervise those training camps?\"
庫拉高貴地笑了起來，就像他的兄弟一樣。“別擔心，我沒有任何怨恨。事實上，你讓我看清了。要想看到弗裏薩的結局不是出自我的手，我必須投資於賽亞人的力量。他一直害怕你們這些猿類。不然你覺得我為什麽讓我的手下監督那些訓練營？”
gohan simply blinked.
every detail of cooler''s story both surprised him and aligned neatly in his mind.
悟飯隻是眨了眨眼睛。庫拉的故事中的每個細節都讓他感到驚訝，但又在他的腦海中清晰地契合在一起。
\"i was the one who advised frieza to promote you to an officer ranking. and when that fell apart, i was the one who called frieza off-world and gave vegeta the green light to kill zarbon.\"
“當你升為軍官級別時，是我建議弗裏薩這麽做的。當一切破滅時，是我叫弗裏薩離開地球，讓貝吉塔獲得了殺死紮波恩的機會。”
while gohan had known about thetter incident, the former reveal left him short of breath.
雖然悟飯已經知道後一件事情，但前一件事的揭示讓他喘不過氣來。
\"a year and changeter, and you pulled it off. all because of me.\"
“一年多一點時間過去了，而你成功了。都是因為我。”
letting the surprise of the reveal roll off his back, gohan snickered with disgust while squaring his shoulders for battle. \"well, if you''re expecting a ''thank you'' from me, i''m afraid i''ll have to leave you hanging.\"
讓揭示帶來的驚訝從他身上滑落，悟飯嗤笑著表達厭惡之情，同時挺直肩膀準備戰鬥。“嗯，如果你期待我對你表示感謝，恐怕我要讓你失望了。”
\"oh, but i expected as much,\" cooler replied. \"you saiyans were always rude and disorderly. you''ll be repaying me soon enough anyway. now that you''re a super saiyan, you''re the perfect fuel for my most ambitious project yet, whether you want to be or not. so why don''t you bring this power out and give me a demonstration?\"
“哦，我早有預料，”庫拉迴答道。“你賽亞人總是粗魯和無秩序的。不過你遲早會償還給我。現在你成為了超級賽亞人，你是我迄今為止最雄心勃勃計劃的完美燃料，不管你願意與否。那麽，為什麽不發揮這種力量給我一次示範呢？”
\"famousst words,\" gohan said as a gust of wind swirled around him.
\"聲名狼藉的遺言，\"悟飯說著，身邊的風旋轉起來。
\"can you pull it off?\" goku asked, remembering their struggles in the spaceship.
\"你能做到嗎？\"悟空問道，迴想起他們在飛船上的困難。
\"don''t worry,\" gohan replied with a voice full of vigor. \"i think i figured it out yesterday. i just had to remember one little thing.\"
\"別擔心，\"悟飯滿懷活力地迴答道。\"我昨天想明白了。隻是要記住一件小事情而已。\"
the ground rumbled beneath gohan''s feet. his fingers clenched into tight fists.
悟飯腳下的大地隆隆作響。他的手指握成了緊緊的拳頭。
\"i''m always angry.\"
\"我總是憤怒的。\"
a primal screamter, a golden me swept across gohan''s body, igniting his hair into a matching brilliant shade and flickering his ck eyes to teal. the sheer magnitude of his power forced goku and the namekians to retreat into the sky. cooler stood before gohan''s super saiyan transformation not in fear, but awe.
狂野的吼聲之後，一團金色的火焰席卷悟飯的身體，將他的頭發點燃成相匹配的明亮色調，他的黑眼睛閃爍著藍綠色。他那龐大的力量讓悟空和那美克星人不得不退到天空之中。庫拉麵對悟飯的超級賽亞人變身，不是恐懼，而是敬畏。
\"i see…\" cooler marveled. \"the big gete star will feast.\"
\"我明白了……\"庫拉讚歎道。\"大給予之星將會享用。\"
\"what the hell are you talking about?\" gohan asked.
“你在說什麽鬼東西？”悟飯問道。
\"you''ll find out soon enough, little saiyan. you see, you may have been able to defeat my brother, but there''s a big difference between he and i.\"
“你很快就會知道，小賽亞人。你看，你也許能夠打敗我的兄弟，但他和我之間有一個很大的區別。”
\"like what?\" gohan scoffed. \"your brand of lipstick?\"
“比如什麽？”悟飯嘲笑道。“你的口紅品牌？”
cooler smirked, ignoring his quip and raising his index finger. \"one time more. i can transform one time more than frieza. he''s a little bit stronger than i am in our natural forms, but i figured out how to push my strength even higher with a new transformation!\"
庫拉冷笑著，無視他的嘲弄，抬起食指。“再多一次。我可以變身的次數比弗裏薩多一次。在我們的原始形態中，他比我稍微強一點，但我找到了如何通過一種新的變身將我的力量提升到更高的程度！”
\"well let''s see it!\" gohan yelled, thrilled at the prospect of a challenge.
“好吧，讓我們看看！”悟飯大聲喊道，對麵臨挑戰的前景感到興奮。
wasting no time, cooler began his metamorphosis. wind exploded around his feet while his body nearly doubled in bulk. spikes grew from the shells around his head and wrists while the red of his pupils overtook his entire eyes. his body had bee a far cry from the sleek, demure aristocrats gohan had bee ustomed to; now, he resembled a machine efficiently designed for ughter.
不浪費任何時間，庫拉開始變身。風在他的腳周圍爆炸，他的身體幾乎翻倍增大。他的頭和手腕周圍的甲殼上長出了尖刺，而他的瞳孔的紅色占據了他整個眼睛。他的身體與悟飯習慣的光滑、溫文爾雅的貴族相去甚遠；現在，他更像是一個專為屠戮而高效設計的機器。
