罪恶有痕 31  
庄立群想了一想, 问他的朋友道,
”’内线’足够可靠吗?”		 Zhuang Liqun gave thought about it for a second,
“Do you think the “internal connection” is reliable enough?”
zhuāng lì qún xiăng le yī xiăng, wèn tā de péngyou dào,
”’ nèi xiàn’ zúgòu kěkào ma?”		  
那人拿起桌上的空烟盒说,
”他提供的信息绝对可靠.
毕竟, 他有私人恩怨要我们帮忙.
不过完事后, 这人必定会成为后患.”		 The man pick up an empty cigarette pack from the table,
“The information he provided is sure enough reliable.
After all, he needs us to help him solve his own “troubles”.
However, he is surely to become a hidden jeopardy once we closed the ‘deal’.”
nà rén náqĭ zhuō shàng de kōng yānhé shuō,
” tā tígōng de xìnxī juéduì kěkào.
bìjìng, tā yŏu sīrén ēnyuàn yào wŏmen bāngmáng.
bùguò wán shìhòu, zhè rén bìdìng huì chéngwéi hòuhuàn.”		  
“那怎么办?” “Then what we should do?”
“ nà zěnmebàn?”  
那人并没有立即回答,
而是将那个空烟盒举到庄立群的面前,
然后一把将它捏成废纸,
并用一种冷酷的目光灼着他.
“那就连他一起解决. 一干二净.”		 The man didn’t answer right away.
Instead, he raised the empty pack to Zhuang Liqun.
At the blink of an eye, he crumbled it into a tiny ball.
He then coldly stared at Zhuang Liqun.
“Then we finish him as well, neatly.”
nà rén bìng méiyŏu lìjí huídá,
érshì jiāng nàge kōng yān hé, jŭ dào zhuāng lì qún de miànqián,
ránhòu yī bă jiāng tā niē chéng fèizhĭ,
bìng yòng yīzhŏng lěngkù de mùguāng zhuó zhe tā.
“ nà jiù lián tā yīqĭ jiějué. yīgān’èrjìng.”		  
说完,
那团废纸被扔进了桌边的垃圾桶.		 Following that word,
the tiny ball of paper flew into the garbage can at the foot of the table.
shuō wán,
nà tuán fèizhĭ bèi rēng jìn le zhuō biān de lājītŏng.		  
庄立群突觉嗓子发干,
浑身泛起一种异样的感觉. 		With a dried throat, Zhuang Liqun suddenly had a weird feeling.
zhuāng lì qún tū jué săngzi fāgān,
húnshēn fàn qĭ yīzhŏng yìyàng de gănjué. 		 
好象坐在那儿的不是自己的,
而是别人的躯壳.
他伸展了一下发硬的背脊,
努力辨别着那种异样到底是什么.		 He didn’t feel like himself again.
He stretched his stiff back
and tried hard to figure out what exact feeling that was.
hăoxiàng zuò zàinar de bùshì zìjĭ de,
érshì biéren de qū ké.
tā shēnzhăn le yīxià fā yìng de bèijĭ,
nŭlì biànbié zhe nàzhŏng yìyàng dàodĭ shì shénme.		  
是厌恶. Disgusting. That was what it was.
shì yànwù.
