The Shooting
十八岁生日的枪击
What Pocket received on his eighteenth birthday was a bullet to the chest. He speaks of it without a trace of warmth, and says the “gift” came from his father’s own hand.
“My father's gift for my 18th birthday was a bullet to the chest. Today's my chance to say "thank you."”
“我父亲送我的十八岁生日礼物是一颗子弹，正中胸口。今天，我要好好地对他说一声“谢谢”。”TL
The one who fired was Calico. She admits she pulled the trigger, but insists she never tried to kill him; Pocket, for his part, remembers that a quarter inch to the right and that bullet would have been square in his heart.
“I shot you, I didn't try to kill you.”
“我是开枪打你，可没想杀你。”TL
“The hell you didn't. A quarter inch to the right and that bullet would've been square in my heart.”
“放屁。再偏右四分之一英寸，那颗子弹就正中我的心脏了。”TL
Pocket survived. When others bring the matter up, all they tend to offer is a jeer.
“"Daddy tried to kill me," poor baby.”
““爸爸想抛弃我，”可怜的宝宝”
Solomon, for his part, told him that he was lost, and that death and rebirth go hand in hand.
“You're lost, Pocket. Find your way back.”
“你迷失了，口袋。找回你的路吧。”TL
