George found Lenny by the river, 乔治在河边找到了莱尼,

hiding in the bushes, 他藏在灌木丛里,

just as he had said he would. 正如他所说的那样。

I'd done a bad thing, George, Lenny said, afraid. “我做了件坏事,乔治,”莱尼害怕地说。

It's all right, George said softly. “没关系,”乔治轻声说。

His voice was gentle, but his eyes were full of pain. 他的声音很温柔,但眼神里充满了痛苦。

It doesn't matter. “没事的。”

Aren't you going to be mad at me? “你不会生我的气吗?”

No, Lenny, “不,莱尼,”

I'm not mad. “我没有生气。”

I've never been mad. “我从来没有生过气。”

In the distance, they could hear the angry men coming closer, with Curly and his dun. 远处,他们能听到愤怒的人们带着柯利和他的马越来越近。

George knew what those men would do to Lenny. 乔治知道那些人会对莱尼做什么。

It would be slow and cruel. 那会是缓慢而残忍的。

So George made the hardest choice of his life. 于是乔治做出了他一生中最艰难的选择。

Lenny, he said gently, tell me about the place again. “莱尼,”他轻声说,“再给我讲讲那个地方吧。”

Tell it, George, Lenny begged. “讲吧,乔治,”莱尼恳求道。

And George told it one last time. 乔治最后一次讲述了那个故事。

We're going to have a little house “我们会有个小房子,

and a cow 一头奶牛,

and rabbits. 还有兔子。”

And I get to tend the rabbits, “我来照看兔子,”

Lenny said happily, looking across the river. 莱尼高兴地说,目光越过河流。

Yes, George whispered, “是的,”乔治低声说,

you get to tend the rabbits. “你来照看兔子。”

Then, 然后,

to save his friend from a crueler death, 为了将他的朋友从更残酷的死亡中解救出来,

George did the kindest and hardest thing he had ever done. 乔治做了他一生中最仁慈也最艰难的事情。

Real love sometimes asks the heaviest price of all. 真正的爱有时会要求付出最沉重的代价。

And by the quiet river, the dream came to an end. 在宁静的河边,那个梦想走到了尽头。
