【寰宇异想】星球大战 克隆人英雄传之雷克斯：相遇与重逢(11)

“小家伙，请教你点问题。”雷克斯说。或许他也可以问天行者，但有迹象暗示那并不明智。“黑暗原力使用者和绝地都亲眼看着不幸发生却无动于衷，如此一来，是否坠入黑暗面又有什么区别呢？”
He really wanted to know.
他真的很想知道。
"I'm still thinking about that," she said. "But I'm trying not to let bad things happen on my watch."
“我还没想好。”她说，“但我将尽我所能不让不幸发生在我眼前。”
Rex wasn't sure if the conversation had helped Ahsoka at all, but it had certainly helped him; the politics and ideology and moral arguments were beyond his influence, and all he could focus on-all he had to focus on-was the day-by-day, hour-by-hour act of looking out for his brothers in arms, and making sure he dropped enemy before they dropped him.
That was the foundation of his life, the essence of his existence.
雷克斯不确定此番长谈能否帮上阿索卡的忙，但的的确确帮了他自己的忙。智者、哲人、志士间的辩论与他无干。日复一日，时刻不停地庇护他的兄弟们，在自己被敌人击倒之前击倒敌人即是他应该也必须注意的一切。这是他生存的基石，他自身存在的本质。
The rest, as Master Altis said, was commentary.
其余的，正如阿尔蒂斯大师所说，只是些注释而已。

“REX?”
他把自己的头盔扣在刚刚搭好的坟墓上，那是一个简陋的用石头和泥土搭建的坟墓，他每次穿越那些炮火轰鸣的战场，心里都会浮现出有关这一刻的预感，他揣测着自己会是哪里中弹，如何倒下，又会怎样落在队伍的后面，有没有人会呼喊他的名字，他曾想过自己的那些弟兄会怎样看待自己的牺牲，他思考着。
