Chinese online short story 罪恶有痕 Traces of Sin (Intermediate to Advanced)

罪恶有痕 9  
“他们如果用水冲洗过后厢,
那小的物品就会被水流冲走,
而且很容易卡在有缝隙的地方.”
秦东觉察到赵凯峰语气里的烦躁,
但他并不介意.
“If they use water to wash the trunk of the car,
then small objects might have been flushed away
and got stuck in narrow cracks.”
Qin Dong sensed the agitation in Zhao Kaifeng’s tone,
but he didn’t mind.
“ tāmen rúguŏ yòng shuĭ chōngxĭ guò hòu xiāng,
nà xiăode wùpĭn jiù huì bèi shuĭliú chōngzŏu,
érqiě hěn róngyì qiă zài yŏu fèngxì de dìfang.”
Qín dōng juéchá dào zhào kăifēng yŭqì lĭ de fánzào,
dàn tā bìngbù jièyì.
 
片刻后, 他从备用胎的缝隙里摸出几粒粗沙.
他把他们放在一个物证带里,
然后继续在备用胎里摸索.
After a little while, he took out a few big pieces of grit.
He put them into an evidence bag,
then went on fumbling inside the spare tire.
piànkè hòu, tā cóng bèiyòng tāi de fèngxì lĭ mō chū jĭ lì cūshā.
tā bă tāmen fàng zài yī gè wùzhèng dài lĭ,
ránhòu jìxù zài bèiyòng tāi lĭ mōsuo.
 
接下来秦东摸出来的东西,
让赵凯峰着实愣住了.
The thing that he got out of the tire
really surprised Zhao Kaifeng.
jiēxiàlái Qín dōng mō chūlái de dōngxi,
ràng zhào kăifēng zhuóshí lèngzhù le.
 
“螺狮?!” “A snail?!”
“ luó shī?!”  
“没错, 螺狮!
从一个崭新的备用胎里找到的螺狮.“
秦东小心翼翼地举起他的新发现,
得意而畅快地笑了,
笑得眼角的皱纹都立时堆积起来.
“That’s right, a snail!
A snail that comes out of a brand new tire. ”
Qin Dong held up his discovery carefully with a loud laughter,
a laughter that made all his eye wrinkles that obvious.
“ méicuò, luó shī!
cóng yī gè zhănxīn de bèiyòng tāi lĭ zhăodào de luó shī. “
Qín dōng xiăoxīnyìyì de jŭqĭ tā de xīn fāxiàn,
déyì ér chàngkuài de xiào le,
xiào dé yănjiăo de zhòuwén dōu lìshí duījī qilai.
 
“这一定是冲洗用的水里带来的.
还有这些沙子,
这些东西是不可能从自来水里跑出来的.”
秦东说着, 用食指戳了戳螺狮的螺盖,
“还是湿润的呢!”
“This thing might have come from the water that they used to wash the car.
Together with all the sand,
there’s no way they could come out of water tap.”
While talking, Qin Dong poked the lid of the snail with his forefinger,
“It’s still wet!”
“ zhè yīdìng shì chōngxĭ yòng de Shuĭlĭ dàilái de.
háiyŏu zhèxiē shāzi,
zhèxiē dōngxi shì bùkěnéng cóng zìláishuĭ lĭ păochū lái de.”
Qín dōng shuō zhe, yòng shízhĭ chuō le chuō luó shī de luó gài,
“ háishi shīrùn de ne!”
 
“这么说, 他们是在野外清洗的车子?”
赵凯峰又回到了请教式的语气.
“So that means they washed the car in the wilderness?”
Zhao Kaifeng changed his tone into consulting.
“ zhème shuō, tāmen shì zài yěwài qīngxĭ de chēzi?”
zhào kăifēng yòu huídào le qĭngjiào shì de yŭqì.
 
“没错. 走, 我们该去看看地图了.”
秦东把几个物证带捏在手上,
朝赵凯峰挥了挥手, 一起走出了车库.
“Yes. It’s time for us to check the map out.”
Qin Dong pinched the evidence bags with his fingers
and gestured Zhao Kaifeng to walk out of the garage.
“ méicuò. zŏu, wŏmen gāi qù kànkan dìtú le.”
Qín dōng bă jĭge wùzhèng dài niē zài shŏu shàng,
cháo zhào kăifēng huī le huīshŏu, yīqĭ zŏuchū le chēkù.
 
   
“妈妈! 哥哥来啦! 哥哥来啦!”
小姑娘站在门口,
把门外一个穿白T恤衫的年轻小伙子拉了进来.
“Mommy! Bro is here! Bro is here!”
The little girl stood at the door
and dragged in a young man in white T-shirt.
“ māma! gēge lái la! gēge lái la!”
xiăo gūniang zhàn zài ménkŏu,
bă ménwài yī gè chuān bái T xùshān de niánqīng xiăohuŏzi lā le jìnlái.
 
小伙子一把抱起了妹妹,
在空中轻轻抛起又接住,
”小丫头, 你是越长越沉了,
哥都快抱不动你了!”
The young man grabbed his little sister,
gently threw her into the air and caught her back again,
”Little sis, how heavy you’ve grown,
I hardly can hold you now!”
xiăohuŏzi yī bă bào qĭ le mèimei,
zài kōngzhōng qīngqīng pāo qĭ yòu jiē zhù,
” xiăo yātou, nĭ shì yuè cháng yuè chén le,
gē dōu kuài bàobùdòng nĭ le!”
 
“立群来啦? 快进来!
先坐会儿, 菜一会儿就好!”
女孩的妈妈文素云手里拿着一把蔬菜,
眉开眼笑地把儿子迎了进来.
“Liqun is coming? Come on in!
Have a seat, dinner will be ready soon!”
With a handful of vegetables, Wen Suyun, the girl’s Mom
welcomed her son in with a warm smile.
“ lì qún lái la? kuài jìnlái!
xiān zuò huìr, cài yīhuìr jiù hăo!”
nǚhái de māma wén sùyún shŏulĭ ná zhe yī bă shūcài,
méikāiyănxiào de bă érzi yíng le jìnlái.
 

罪恶有痕 10  
庄立群陪同母异父的妹妹玩了一会儿,
就跑进厨房帮忙上菜.
Zhuang Liqun played with his half sister for a while.
Then he entered kitchen to offer a hand for the dinner preparation.
zhuāng lìqún péitóng mŭ yìfù de mèimei wán le yīhuìr,
jiù păo jìn chúfáng bāngmáng shàngcài.
 
“佳佳爸什么时候回来?” 他问. “When will Jiajia’s Dad come back?”
“ jiā jiā bà shénmeshíhou huílai?” tā wèn.  
“快了, 说着话他就该回来了吧.
你和佳佳先喝点果汁, 看会儿电视,
他一来我们就开饭.”
文素云一边炒菜一边招呼孩子们.
“Should be soon, any minute as we talk.
You go watch TV and drink some juice with Jiajia first.
Once he’s back, we’ll start to eat.”
Wen Suyun talked to her children while cooking.
“ kuài le, shuō zhe huà tā jiù gāi huílai le ba.
nĭ hé jiā jiā xiān hē diăn guŏzhī, kàn huìr diànshì,
tā yīlái wŏmen jiù kāifàn.”
wén sù yún yībiān chăo cài yībiān zhāohu háizimen.
 
其实庄立群今年已经二十四了,
在这个纷杂的社会里也混了八年有余.
不过每次来生母家做客,
他都会觉得自己又变回了孩子.
As a matter of fact, Zhuang Liqun was already twenty four years old.
He had worked in this cynical society for eight years.
However, every time he came to his Mom’s house,
he felt like a kid again.
qíshí zhuāng lì qún jīnnián yĭjīng èrshí sì le,
zài zhège fēnzá de shèhuì lĭ yě hùn le bā nián yŏuyú.
bùguò měicì láishēng mŭ jiā zuòkè,
tā dōu huì juéde zìjĭ yòu biàn huí le háizi.
 
庄立群斜靠在沙发上,
让妹妹靠在自己身上看”喜羊羊”。
他想,
也许有一天他自己也会有一个这样的家。
不过, 那个家会十分地气派,
Zhuang Liqun reclined on the sofa,
letting his sister to lean on him and watch “Happy Lambs”.
He thought,
maybe one day he would have a home like this of his own.
However, his own home would be really glamorous,
zhuāng lì qún xiékào zài shāfā shàng,
ràng mèimei kào zài zìjĭ shēnshang kàn” xĭ yáng yáng”。
tā xiăng,
yěxŭ yŏu yī tiān tā zìjĭ yě huì yŏu yī gè zhèyàng de jiā。
bùguò, nàge jiā huì shífēn de qìpài,
 
他会让自己的女人,妈妈,
妹妹和所有的亲戚都为之自豪。
他会邀他们常来聚会。
他会象个大哥一样,
关照所有他想关照的朋友们。
he would let his own woman, his Mom,
his sister and all his other relatives be proud of his home.
He would invite them for parties.
He would behave like a mogul
and take care of all the friends that he cares.
tā huì ràng zìjĭ de nǚrén, māma,
mèimei hé suŏyŏu de qīnqi dōu wéi zhī zìháo。

“立群,这些东西是你的吧,
快放到客厅去,
厨房油烟大,别弄脏了。”
已准备好一桌丰盛菜肴的文素云
指着厨房墙角边的几个大大小小的精美购物带对儿子说。
“Liqun, are these stuff yours,
move them to the living room please.
I don’t want the kitchen grease to get on them.”
Wen Suyun, who had just prepared a full table of delicious dishes,
asked Zhuang Liqun while pointing at the pretty shopping bags lined up at the corner.
” lì qún, zhèxiē dōngxi shì nĭ de ba,
kuài fàng dào kètīng qù,
chúfáng yóuyān dà, bié nòngzāng le。”
yĭ zhŭnbèi hăo yī zhuō fēngshèng càiyáo de wén sù yún
zhĭ zhe chúfáng qiángjiăo biān de jĭge dàdàxiăoxiăode jīngměi gòuwù dài duì érzi shuō。
 
“妈,那些都是给你们买的,看喜不喜欢?”
庄立群扭头回答。
“Mom, those are for you guys, see whether you like it?”
Zhuang Liqun turned his head and replied.
” mā, nàxiē dōu shì gěi nĭmen măi de, kàn xĭ bù xĭhuan?”
zhuāng lì qún niŭtóu huídá。
 
“来吃饭就来吃饭,谁让你拎东西来啦?
你那点工资还不够你自己使呢!”
文素云一边说,
一边弯腰瞅了瞅袋子里的盒子.
“If you just come to eat, why do you need to bring things for us?
The income you have can barely meet you ends with!”
Wen Suyun said while drooping down to have a look at those bags.
” lái chīfàn jiù lái chīfàn, shéi ràng nĭ līn dōngxi lái la?
nĭ nà diăn gōngzī hái bùgòu nĭ zìjĭ shĭ ne!”
wén sù yún yībiān shuō,
yībiān wānyāo chŏu le chŏu dàizi lĭ de hézi.
 
“我说立群,
你咋买那么贵的东西呢?!”
文素云从袋子里拿出一张小单,
上面打着人民币五千八的总价.
“Come on, Liqun,
how could you spend so much on buying this?!”
Wen Suyun picked up a receipt from the bag.
The total price on the receipt was five thousand and eight hundred RMB.
“ wŏ shuō lì qún,
nĭ ză măi nàme guì de dōngxi ne?!”
wén sù yún cóng dàizi lĭ náchū yī zhāng xiăo dān,
