\\\Not a second after hitting the ground, Gohan jumped back up and charged at him with murderous intent.\\\
“刚落地的那一刻，悟饭立刻跳了起来，带着杀气向他冲了过去。”
piccolo raised his arm and engulfed his hand with a raging, violently sparking Ki.
皮克洛举起手臂，手上涌动着狂暴、猛烈闪耀的气。
Gohan stopped in his tracks, knowing that in his injured state, he had no hope of surviving such an attack.
悟饭停下了脚步，明白在他受伤的状态下，他没有生存的希望。
\\\what do you want from me?!\\\ his jaw hung open, bouncing up and down from his turmoil.
“你想从我这里得到什么？！”他的下巴张得大大的，由于内心的痛苦而上下颤动。
\\\I\\u0027ll give you that dragon ball,\\\ piccolo stated, \\\but only if you successfully plete training under me.\\\
“我会给你那颗龙珠，”皮克洛说道，“但前提是你必须成功地在我手下完成训练。”
Gohan was so flummoxed, he calmed down.
悟饭感到非常困惑，他镇定下来。
\\\what do you mean?\\\
“你是什么意思？”
\\\did I stutter, kid?\\\
“我有结巴吗，小子？”
Gohan derided the Namekian just with his fierce, black eyes.
悟饭用他炽烈、黑暗的眼神嘲笑着这个纳美克人。
\\\what could I possibly get out of training with you?\\\
“我能从和你的训练中得到什么呢？”
contempt twisted piccolo\\u0027s features.
蔑视扭曲了皮克洛的面容。
\\\plenty, if you don\\u0027t plan on wishing back even more people in the future.\\\
“很多，如果你不打算在未来再许愿让更多的人复活的话。”
\\\what?\\\
“什么？”
\\\Since my other question was apparently too hard, just answer me this.
因为我的另一个问题显然太难了，就回答我这个问题吧。
do you remember how your father\\u0027s Ki felt when you sensed him using the Kaio-Ken technique?\\\
“你还记得当你感受到你父亲使用界王拳技巧时，他的气息是什么样的吗？”
Gohan blinked in surprise, but looked down as he searched his memories.
悟饭惊讶地眨了眨眼睛，但低下头，搜索着他的记忆。
\\\It didn\\u0027t feel like it was going up, like normal,\\\ Gohan tried explaining.
“它的感觉不像正常情况下一样在上升，”悟饭试着解释。
\\\It was just more intense, like it was moving really fast.\\\
“只是更加强烈，就像它在以非常快的速度移动。”
\\\Exactly,\\\ piccolo replied.
“没错，”皮克洛回答道。
\\\when your father came back from the after-life with that trick and thoroughly embarrassed me, I spent months figuring out how he could basically cheat his power to reach new heights out of thin air.\\\
“当你父亲带着那个诡计从来世回来并彻底羞辱了我后，我花了几个月的时间弄清楚他是如何在无中生有地通过欺骗他的力量达到新的高度的。”
Gohan nodded; he was preaching to the choir.
悟饭点了点头，他已经知道了。
And he suspected Vegeta was agonizing over the exact same thing.
而他怀疑贝吉塔正在为同样的事情苦恼。
\\\one day, it hit me: it was all in his mind.
“有一天，我意识到：这都是他的思想所致。
Your father doesn\\u0027t have a single thought going on in that head of his, but that\\u0027s what grants him perfect control over his power.
你父亲的脑子里没有一个思想，但这使他对自己的力量拥有了完美的掌控。
his mind can manipulate his Ki to do whatever his body can withstand.\\\
他的思维可以操控他的气以做到他的身体能够承受的一切。”
\\\because he has a clear head.
因为他头脑清晰。
\\\ Gohan mused aloud, digging back nine years into the past when he tried teaching himself about Ki on planet Zuna.
悟饭大声思索着，回溯到九年前的过去，当时他试图在祖纳星上自学气的知识。
\\\Exactly.
“没错。
It\\u0027s one thing to simply be aware of how to control your Ki, but it\\u0027s another thing to master it.\\\
“仅仅知道如何控制你的气是一回事，但要掌握它是另一回事。”
Gohan could feel the scrutiny in piccolo\\u0027s eyes from across.
悟饭能感受到皮克洛从对面发出的审视目光。
\\\wielding a technique like the Kaio-Ken requires a perfect grip on your consciousness, and yours is quite frankly pathetic.\\\
“使用界王拳这样的技巧需要对自己的意识有着完美的掌控，而你的意识真的很可悲。”
\\\hey!\\\ Gohan snapped, approaching piccolo in warning.
“喂！”悟饭警告地冲向皮克洛。
\\\Not exactly proving me wrong,\\\ piccolo snickered.
“你并没有证明我错。”皮克洛咯咯地笑着。
Gohan grumbled and stepped back.
悟饭嘟囔着后
退了一步。
he may have taken offense to the wording, but it was painfully accurate.
他可能对措辞感到冒犯，但这是非常准确的。
\\\For years, I thought of Ki as nothing more than a source of power.
多年来，我一直认为气只是一种力量的来源。
but it\\u0027s more than that – it\\u0027s the very essence of your being.
但它不仅仅是那样——它是你存在的本质。
that\\u0027s why your power sometimes rises with anger.
这就是为什么你的力量有时会因愤怒而上升。
that\\u0027s why it\\u0027s probably harder to wield when you\\u0027re rattled.\\\
这也是为什么在你心烦意乱时可能更难驾驭。”
Gohan had certainly known the feeling, whether it meant people he should have sensed slipping past his notice, or his own Ki\\u0027s erratic fluctuations.
悟饭确实知道这种感觉，不管是他本应察觉到的人从他的注意力中溜走，还是他自己气息的不稳定波动。
piccolo raised three of his clawed fingers.
皮克洛伸出三根有爪的手指。
\\\I surmise there are three tenants of Ki – the raw power, your determination, and your knowledge of self.
“我推测气有三个要素——原始力量、你的决心和你对自己的了解。
with your mind as fractured as it is, not only is your sense of self out of sorts, but a whole third of your full power is out of reach.\\\
由于你的思想如此破碎，不仅你的自我感觉错乱，而且你完整力量的三分之一都无法达到。”
Gohan\\u0027s heart skipped a beat.
悟饭的心跳了一下。
It made that much of a difference? Even beyond just being more aware of the energy around him, it would improve his own power?
这会产生这么大的差别吗？即使超越了对周围能量的更加敏感，它也会提升他自己的力量吗？
\\\but this isn\\u0027t about making you stronger; that\\u0027s merely a side effect.
“但这不是为了让你变得更强；那只是一个副作用。
this is about making sure you don\\u0027t snap and kill everyone, because as much as I hate to admit it, you\\u0027re entirely too strong for any of us to deal with when you\\u0027re 100%.\\\
这是为了确保你不会崩溃并杀死所有人，因为尽管我不愿承认，但当你百分百的时候，你对我们中的任何人来说都太强大了。”
\\\I didn\\u0027t just do that out of the blue,\\\ Gohan snarled.
“我可不是毫无原因地这么做的，”悟饭咆哮道。
\\\It was.
.
.
a transformation.
.
.
that.
.
.
\\\
“那是……一种变身……”
he stopped himself, gnawing his teeth against each other.
他停住了，咬紧了牙关。
Lying out loud like that and ducking responsibility for his actions brought him physical pain.
这样公然撒谎，回避对自己行为的责任，给他带来了身体上的痛苦。
he despised either of piccolo\\u0027s assessments of his character equally, but only because they were the cold truth.
他同样鄙视皮克洛对他性格的任何评价，但只是因为它们是冷酷的事实。
\\\Altered your mind? made you snap?\\\ piccolo asked, finishing Gohan\\u0027s tenuous argument for him.
“改变了你的思想？让你崩溃了？”皮克洛问道，为悟饭维持了他脆弱的论点。
\\\Sure.
“当然。
that makes sense.
\\\ but if you had perfect control, that wouldn\\u0027t have happened when you transformed, would it?\\\
“有道理。
”但是，如果你完全掌控
，当你变身时就不会发生这种情况了，对吧？”
Gohan winced, conceding piccolo\\u0027s point.
悟饭畏缩了一下，承认皮克洛的观点。
\\\Imagine you could use that form of yours without worrying about destroying the entire planet.
“想象一下，如果你能在不担心摧毁整个星球的情况下使用那种形态。
\\\ piccolo raised his right hand like he was emitting a projection of the path ahead.
“皮克洛举起右手，好像在发出前方路径的投影一样。
\\\I imagine it would make your path towards Frieza run far smoother.\\\
“我想这会使你通往弗利萨的道路变得更加顺利。”
\\\Sure,\\\ Gohan stammered, unable to part with his hesitation.
“当然，”悟饭结结巴巴地说道，不愿意放弃他的犹豫。
\\\but how long will this take?\\\
“但是需要多长时间？”
\\\that\\u0027s all on you.
“这完全取决于你。
\\\ the worst answer.
最糟糕的回答。
he stared at the ground in a panic.
他惊慌地盯着地面。
\\\but we have no idea when Frieza will show up.
“但是我们不知道弗利萨什么时候会出现。
For all I know, he and his army could touch down tomorrow.\\\
据我所知，他和他的军队明天可能就会降落。”
Gohan\\u0027s body shook at the thought.
悟饭一想到这个就不禁颤抖起来。
\\\I can\\u0027t.
“我不能。
I can\\u0027t spend all that time on just one thing.
我不能把所有的时间都花在一件事上。
And I can\\u0027t keep Lapis and the others waiting.\\\
我不能让拉皮斯和其他人等待。
\\\And I don\\u0027t want to waste time that could be spent training on babysitting Son Goku\\u0027s cursed brat either.\\\
“我也不想把本来可以用来训练的时间浪费在照顾孙悟空那个被诅咒的孩子身上。”
the \\\cursed brat\\\ growled in warning, though piccolo responded evenly.
“那个被诅咒的孩子”警告地咆哮，尽管皮克洛的回应平和。
\\\but what if I told you there was a room where time and space operated differently from the rest of the universe?\\\
“但是，如果我告诉你有一个房间，其中时间和空间与宇宙的其他部分不同，你会怎么样？”
\\\what? time and space.
“什么？时间和空间？
\\\ Gohan didn\\u0027t even know where to begin.
\\\悟饭甚至不知道从哪里开始。
\\\Up in the heavenly realm, in the lookout where my other half presides over the world, there\\u0027s a room known as the hyperbolic time chamber.
“在天界，也就是我另一半掌管世界的地方，有一个被称为超级时空之间的房间。
A whole year in there is only a single day out here.\\\
那里一年的时间只相当于外面的一天。”
For a quick second, Gohan\\u0027s brain went black.
一 瞬 间 ，悟 饭 的 大 脑 一 片 空 白 。
Yet again, he expected to wake up at any moment.
然 而 ，他 又 一 次 期 待 着 随 时 醒 来 。
piccolo snickered at his bewilderment.
皮 克 罗 对 他 的 困 惑 嗤 笑 一 声 。
\\\of course, that old bastard would sooner die than let me show my face in his sanctuary let alone use one of his facilities. but I\\u0027m sure with the stakes and you being his golden boy\\u0027s son, he\\u0027ll make an exception.\\\
“当 然 ，那 个 老 混 蛋 宁 可 去 死 ，也 不 会 让 我 在 他 的 圣 地 里 出 现 ，更 不 用 说 使 用 他 的 任 何 设 施 了 。但 我 肯 定 ，在 这 种 情 况 下 ，而 且 你 是 他 的 金 发 儿 子 的 儿 子 ，他 会 做 出 例 外 。”
\\\An entire year...?\\\
Gohan absent-mindedly muttered.
“整 整 一 年 吗 …？”悟 饭 心 不 在 焉 地 喃 喃 自 语 。
\\\I don\\u0027t want your pany for a whole year any more than you want mine,\\\ piccolo said. \\\but if you want Lapis and the folks in west city to stay dead, then that\\u0027s on you.\\\
“我 不 想 和 你 一 起 呆 上 整 整 一 年 ，就 像 你 也 不 想 和 我 一 样 。”皮 克 罗 说 道 。“但 是 如 果 你 希 望 拉 比 斯 和 西 都 的 人 能 继 续 保 持 死 亡 ，那 就 由 你 来 决 定 。”
\\\I didn\\u0027t say I wouldn\\u0027t do it,\\\ Gohan sneered. \\\I don\\u0027t have many options, do I?\\\
“我 没 说 我 不 会 这 么 做 。”悟 饭 冷 笑 道 。“我 可 没 有 太 多 选 择 ，是 吧 ？”
In truth, Gohan desperately yearned for a sense of inner peace.
事 实 上 ，悟 饭 非 常 渴 望 一 种 内 心 的 平 静 。
he wouldn\\u0027t hold his breath on a guy like piccolo ever getting him there, but he had to at least give it a shot.
他 并 不 抱 太 大 希 望 皮 克 罗 这 样 的 家 伙 能 帮 他 实 现 目 标 ，但 他 至 少 要 试 一 试 。
\\\well, follow me, then.\\\
“那 么 ，跟 我 来 。”
piccolo blasted into the sky.
皮 克 罗 向 天 空 中 猛 冲 而 去 。
part of Gohan still wanted to get him back for humiliating him, but he supposed regulating his emotions would be a crucial ponent of his training.
悟 饭 的 一 部 分 仍 然 想 报 复 皮 克 罗 羞 辱 他 的 行 为 ，但 他 想 到 控 制 情 绪 将 是 他 训 练 的 重 要 组 成 部 分 。
he took a deep breath, begrudgingly following the direction of his apparent new \\\master.\\\
他 深 吸 了 一 口 气 ，勉 强 地 跟 随 着 这 个 看 似 新 的 “师 父 ”的 方 向 前 进 。
he caught up with piccolo quickly, stopping once they were parallel.
他 很 快 就 追 上 了 皮 克 罗 ，一 旦 他 们 并 排 停 下 来 。
As they flew, he probed the Namekian with his gaze.
随 着 飞 行 ，他 用 目 光 审 视 着 这 位 纳 美 克 人 。
most of what he\\u0027d known about piccolo came from stories his father told that he could barely remember.
他 对 皮 克 罗 的 了 解 大 部 分 来 源 于 他 父 亲 所 讲 述 的 几 乎 已 经 记 不 清 的 故 事 。
\\\Something\\u0027s been bugging me for a while,\\\ Gohan said.
“有 件 事 困 扰 我 已 经 有 一 段 时 间 了 ，”悟 饭 说 道 。
piccolo tilted his head towards him.
皮 克 罗 将 头 歪 向 他 。
\\\If you actually managed to kill my father and have this whole planet to yourself, then how the hell did any of his friends live long enough to wish him back? the bad guy won.\\\
“如 果 你 真 的 杀 了 我 父 亲 ，并 且 拥 有 了 整 个 星 球 ，那 么 他 的 任 何 朋 友 怎 么 活 得 够 久 ，才 能 许 愿 让 他 复 活 ？坏 人 赢 了 。”
Even from the side, Gohan could see the contempt in piccolo\\u0027s face.
即 使 从 侧 面 看 ，悟 饭 也 能 看 出 皮 克 罗 脸 上 的 鄙 视 。
\\\For one thing, those twins were still far ahead of me at that point.
那时候，那对双胞胎仍然远远超过了我。
they weren\\u0027t really on anybody\\u0027s side back then, but least of all mine.
当时他们并不真正站在任何人一边，尤其不是我的一边。
And besides...\\\
而且……
piccolo growled low in his throat, catching Gohan by surprise.
皮克洛喉咙里发出低沉的咆哮声，让悟饭感到惊讶。
\\\that was no victory.
那并不是胜利。
that bastard\\u0027s own body defeated him, not me.
那个混蛋自己的身体打败了他，不是我。
All I did was expedite his trip to the afterlife.\\\
我所做的只是加速他去往来世的旅程。
Gohan nodded.
悟饭点了点头。
If there was anything he understood, it was a warrior\\u0027s spirit.
