渣翻：火花（Sparks） 雅文战役中金色2号德克斯（Dex）的故事(6)

An embarrassed moan and shudder from Sparks.
Dex smiled, patted the droid on his head, and lied. “Listen, things are gonna be fine.”
Spark’s ambivalent beeps suggested that he saw through the words to the truth.
“We’ll do what we can, right? We make our run.”
Sparks perked up, beeped enthusiastically.
“And hit what we can,” Dex said. “Right.”
“我告诉过你我的妈妈常说关于火花的事吗？那就是为什么我把你叫做‘火花’。还记得你在尤塔帕的卫星上引发的大火吗？”
火花发出一阵尴尬的抱怨，抖动着身体。
德克斯笑了，轻轻拍了一下机器人，撒谎到“听着，一切都会好起来的。”

火花矛盾的哔哔声说明它看到了话里的真相。
“我们尽力去做能做到的事情，好嘛？我们飞自己的。”
火花振作起来，热情的发出哔哔声。
“打中什么算什么”，德克斯说，“是的。”
In hindsight, he realized that his mother’s phrase was the through-line of his life. It had played through his mind when he’d joined the Rebellion, had sustained him through dark times. He’d joined knowing that things looked bleak, but he’d always fancied himself a spark, always imagined himself starting the big fire.
现在看来，他母亲的习语贯穿了他的一生。早在他加入义军时，这句话就已经在他心中扎根，使他撑过了黑暗时期。加入义军时他便知道一切看上去如此灰暗，但他总会把自己当做一丝火花，总是想象自己能引发燎原之火。
