Chinese online short story 罪恶有痕 Traces of Sin (Intermediate to Advanced)
罪恶有痕 35  
听起来是房东的声音，
但庄立群希望他赶快走开，
他已经交够四个月的房租，
完全没有再跟房东打交道的必要。		 The voice sounded like the landlord.
However, Zhuang Liqun wished he could have left sooner.
He already paid up to four months of rent.
There’s no need to deal with the landlord again.
tīngqilai shì fángdōng de shēngyīn，
dàn zhuāng lì qún xīwàng tā gănkuài zŏukāi，
tā yĭjīng jiāo gòu sì gè yuè de fángzū，
wánquán méiyŏu zài gēn fángdōng dăjiāodào de bìyào。		  
门里门外都沉默了有十秒钟的功夫。
庄立群突然有了一种不祥的预感。		 There was a moment of silence on both side of the door.
He suddenly had a premonition that things would go wrong.
mén lĭ ménwài dōu chénmò le yŏu shí miăo zhōng de gōngfu。
zhuāng lì qún tūrán yŏule yīzhŏng bùxiáng de yùgăn。		  
随即，一声爆响，门被猛地撞开来。
庄立群还没来得及看清门外人的脸，
就被人迎头一击，按倒在地，
动弹不得。		 The door was forced open following a deafening bang.
Before Zhuang Liqun could get a glimpse at the intruder
he had been pressed down to the ground
and couldn’t move at all.
suíjí， yīshēng bào xiăng， mén bèi měngde zhuàng kāi lái。
zhuāng lì qún hái méi láidejí kànqīng mén wàirén de liăn，
jiù bèi rén yíngtóu yī jī， àn dăo zàidì，
dòngtánbudé。		  
“小心有枪！” “Be careful of the gun!”
“ xiăoxīn yŏu qiāng！”  
话音刚落，
庄立群的手腕就被人狠命一扭，
完全没了力量，手一松，
枪被人夺了去。		 What followed the voice was a powerful twist of his wrist
that forced him lose the grip of the gun.
It was then snapped off his hand.
 
huàyīn gāng luò，
zhuāng lì qún de shŏuwàn jiù bèi rén hěnmìng yī niŭ，
wánquán méile lìliang， shŏu yī sōng，
qiāng bèi rén duó le qù。		  
顿时，他的周围多出了好几个人。  
dùnshí， tā de zhōuwéi duō chū le hăojĭ gèrén。  
他勉强转了转脖子，
看清按倒他的是两个全副武装的警察。		 He struggled to turn his neck
and only found out the two men that were holding him down were fully armed police. 
tā miănqiăng zhuăn le zhuàn bózi，
kànqīng àn dăo tā de shì liăng gè quánfù-wŭzhuāng de jĭngchá。		  
“完了。” 他心里一沉。 “I’m toasted.” His heart sank.
“ wán le。” tā xīn lĭ yī chén。
