\"Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,\" Bulma said with a smirk, her more flirtatious inclinations towards him returning. \"You\u0027re like Trunks\u0027 teddy bear!\" (Original Text)

\"是的，是的，当然了，\"布尔玛咧嘴一笑，她对他的更多调情倾向又回来了。\"你就像是Trunks的泰迪熊！\"

The prince\u0027s arrogant bluster devolved into revulsion. \"Do not pare me to such contemptible toys. Take the brat back now that I\u0027ve done your work for you.\" (Original Text)

王子的傲慢炫耀变成了厌恶。\"不要把我和那些可鄙的玩具相提并论。既然我已经替你做完了你的工作，那就把这个孩子带回去吧。\"

Not letting that asinine remark dim the light, Bulma held her arms out. \"Hold on, let me get something! I\u0027ll be right back!\" (Original Text)

布尔玛没有让那愚蠢的话影响自己的兴致，她伸出双臂说道：\"等一下，让我拿点东西！我马上回来！\"

Bulma ran out of the kitchen, leaving Vegeta to grumble and stare at his newborn. (Original Text)

布尔玛跑出了厨房，留下维吉塔嘟哝着盯着他的新生儿。

As he watched his tail curl and uncurl, the Prince of all Saiyans continued wrestling with the reality that he had sired a child. (Original Text)

当他看着自己的尾巴卷曲和舒展时，赛亚人王子继续与自己生了个孩子的现实抗衡。

Trunks had no time for his father\u0027s musings, though, and took it upon himself to seize one of Vegeta\u0027s large spikes as hard as he could. (Original Text)

然而，Trunks没有时间陷入他父亲的沉思中，他自己夺过其中一根维吉塔的大刺，尽其所能地抓住了它。

Vegeta\u0027s knees buckled with pain; the boy already had an insanely tight grip. \"Agh! Get your grubby hands off my fu-\" (Original Text)

维吉塔的膝盖因疼痛而弯曲；这个孩子已经抓得非常紧了。\"啊！把你那脏手拿开！\"

A flash of white light disrupted Vegeta\u0027s vision and forced him to shield his eyes. (Original Text)

一道白光闪过，打乱了维吉塔的视线，他不得不遮住眼睛。

Once he opened them, he found Bulma in front of him with a phone in her hand and a dazzling smile on her face. (Original Text)

当他睁开眼睛时，他发现布尔玛站在他面前，手里拿着手机，脸上带着灿烂的笑容。

\"Perfect!\" (Original Text)

\"太完美了！\"

Once he put the pieces together, Vegeta\u0027s unspoken adoration for her smile withered into his usual scorn. \"You put that on record?\" (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

当他把一切都理清楚后，维吉塔对她的笑容没有说出口的崇拜变成了他平常的蔑视。“你把它记录下来了？”

Bulma ignored him and smiled forlornly at her phone\u0027s screen. (Original Text)

布尔玛不理睬他，伤感地对着手机屏幕微笑着。

It was the perfect picture – Trunks laughing, Vegeta gawking with equal parts anger, shock, and pain. (Original Text)

这是一张完美的照片——Trunks在笑，维吉塔震惊、愤怒和痛苦交加地呆住。

For just a small, spontaneous moment, they looked like a family. Too bad it was fleeting. (Original Text)

就在这一刹那，他们看起来像一个家庭。可惜这种时刻是短暂的。

But no matter what went down, she would have this. (Original Text)

但无论发生什么事情，她都会拥有这个。

\"2,500,000\" (Original Text)

“2,500,000”

It was the figure written in gold on the display across from Gohan in the spaceship. (Original Text)

这是写在太空船对面显示屏上的金色数字。

The half-Saiyan, fifteen according to himself but fourteen according to his birth certificate, had hooked up the other red scouter to the ship\u0027s control panel in a moment of boredom during a recovery day. (Original Text)

这个半赛亚人，根据他自己的说法是15岁，但根据他的出生证明是14岁，在康复日的无聊时刻，将另一个红色侦察器连接到飞船的控制面板上。

The number on the screen? His power level. (Original Text)

屏幕上的数字？他的战斗力。

Though he never needed it for almost his entire tenure in the Frieza Force, he enjoyed statistics and wanted to know. (Original Text)

尽管他在弗里萨军队的任期几乎没有用过它，但他喜欢统计数据，想要了解。

Seeing it in writing how much he outclassed every last one of those bastards filled him with immense satisfaction. (Original Text)

看到这个数字写在那些混蛋中每个人上面，他感到极大的满足。

At the same time, however, he bristled with unease. (Original Text)

然而与此同时，他感到不安。

This was it, right? He had exceeded the rumored figure for Frieza five times over. (Original Text)

这就是了，对吧？他的实力已经超过了有关弗里萨的传闻数值的五倍。

On hypothetical paper, he could go out into space right now, challenge the lizard, and reduce him to a wad of chewing gum beneath his feet. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

在假设的情况下，他可以立即进入太空，挑战那只蜥蜴，将他彻底击败。

But this felt a little too smooth for his liking. (Original Text)

但是这感觉太过顺利，让他有些不安。

For one thing, Frieza was a man of secrecy. (Original Text)

首先，弗里萨是个重视保密的人。

The numbers were pure hearsay, likely lowballed by the prehension of a mortal mind. (Original Text)

这些数字纯属谣传，很可能被凡人的理解力低估了。

Not to mention, those janky scouters shorted out north of six figures anyway. (Original Text)

更不用说那些糟糕的侦查器在六位数以上都无法正常工作。

But more importantly, Vegeta had informed Gohan that Frieza could transform. (Original Text)

但更重要的是，维吉塔告诉了悟饭弗里萨可以变身。

And if his transformation worked anything like the Great Ape, even an accurate 500,000 was but a smidgeon of his true menace. (Original Text)

如果他的变身效果与大猩猩差不多，那么即使是准确的500,000战斗力也只是他真正威胁的一小部分。

After effectively 22 months of training, Gohan had exceeded almost all mortal capability. (Original Text)

经过有效的22个月的训练，悟饭的实力已经超过了几乎所有凡人的能力。

But he didn\u0027t feel ready. (Original Text)

但是他觉得自己还不够准备。

His alleged Super Saiyan transformation would have to get the job done. (Original Text)

他所谓的超级赛亚人变身将不得不完成任务。

25,000,000 certainly sounded like enough, at least. (Original Text)

至少，2,500万的战斗力听起来足够了。

It also occurred to him that Arepa and Kiyomi\u0027s arrivals were imminent, filling him with nerves – good nerves, though. (Original Text)

他也想到了Arepa和Kiyomi即将到来的事情，这让他心里充满了紧张——尽管是一种好的紧张。

What would she say? How would she react to seeing him again, an extra year older? God, how did she look? (Original Text)

她会说什么？她会对见到他年长了一岁有何反应？天啊，她看起来怎么样？

He shook away the more trivial thought and shut off the control panel, heading back to the yellow pound. (Original Text)

他摆脱了那些琐碎的想法，关闭了控制面板，朝着黄色建筑群回去。

Once outside, he took a moment to look at the city around him; after the devastation he had wrought, West City had pletely recovered. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

一出门，他停下脚步看着周围的城市；在他所造成的毁灭之后，西都已经完全恢复了。

Every time he made that walk to and from the spaceship, Gohan would take a moment to appreciate it. (Original Text)

每次他往返于飞船之间的时候，悟饭都会花一些时间欣赏这一切。

At the moment, though, the city was quiet, with a few military posts set up in key spots. (Original Text)

此刻，城市很安静，一些军事哨所在关键位置设立。

Bulma had convinced the world\u0027s leaders to institute a \"soft lockdown\" to keep the average citizens out of harm\u0027s way – not that it would really help. (Original Text)

布尔玛已经说服了世界各国领导人实施“软封锁”，以保护普通市民的安全——尽管这并没有真正起到帮助的作用。

Once inside Gohan entered the kitchen, where Bulma was feeding Trunks in a high-chair while Vegeta sat down drinking coffee and looking pissed off. (Original Text)

一进厨房，悟饭就看到布尔玛正在给特兰克斯喂食，特兰克斯坐在高脚椅上，而维吉塔则坐下来喝咖啡，一脸愠怒。

The universe\u0027s strangest family without a doubt. (Original Text)

毫无疑问，这是宇宙中最奇怪的家庭。

In the last nine months, he never bothered to ask Vegeta about being a father, knowing what harsh response he\u0027d likely receive. (Original Text)

在过去的九个月里，他从未去问过维吉塔关于做父亲的事情，知道自己可能会得到令人不快的回答。

When Bulma noticed Gohan inside, her eyes lit up. (Original Text)

当布尔玛注意到悟饭进来时，她的眼睛亮了起来。

\"Ah, good! Now I\u0027ve got both of you. I have something neat.\" (Original Text)

“啊，太好了！现在我找到了你们俩。我有一件很有意思的事情。”

Bulma slid out of the kitchen, leaving Vegeta and Gohan to share puzzled glances, neither knowing what she\u0027d been referring to. (Original Text)

布尔玛从厨房里走了出来，让维吉塔和悟饭互相投以困惑的目光，两人都不知道她在指的是什么。

A minute later, she returned with a white suitcase and laid it out on the table. (Original Text)

一分钟后，她拿着一个白色手提箱回来，将其摆在桌子上。

Once she popped open the silver handles, Gohan and Vegeta leaned in with intrigued eyebrows. (Original Text)

她打开银色把手时，悟饭和维吉塔好奇地低下了头。

\"I finally made new armor for you guys!\" (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

“我终于给你们做了新的装甲！”

Leaning in closer for a good look, Gohan and Vegeta observed the garments folded up and arranged in the suitcase. (Original Text)

悟饭和维吉塔靠近一起仔细观察着叠放在手提箱里的装备。

White gloves and boots for both. (Original Text)

白手套和靴子，两者都一样。

They grabbed their respective plates, turning them back and forth in their hands. (Original Text)

他们拿起各自的装备板，在手中来回转动。

It was a sleeker design that both Saiyans had occasionally seen around the Frieza Force, forgoing the shoulder plates for straps and missing the guards at the bottom (though Gohan\u0027s never had them to begin with), while the bodysuit featured a turtleneck – clearly a fashion choice on Bulma\u0027s part. (Original Text)

这是一种更加流线型的设计，两位赛亚人偶尔在弗利萨军团中见过，放弃了肩部板块而使用了肩带，底部没有护板（尽管悟饭的一开始就没有），而紧身衣领部分有一条高领 —— 显然这是布尔玛在时尚上的选择。

\"What do you think?\" Bulma asked. (Original Text)

“你们觉得怎么样？”布尔玛问道。

\"They\u0027re decent,\" they both monotonously replied. (Original Text)

“还行吧。”他们两个单调地回答道。

\"Oh, whatever,\" Bulma dismissed. \"It was tough replicating that rubber material, so I had to invent a new one myself. (Original Text)

“哦，随你们吧，”布尔玛不以为意地说道。“复制那种橡胶材料很难，所以我不得不自己发明了一种新的材料。”

Just to confirm her testimony, Vegeta grabbed both ends of the plate and stretched them out as far as he could, nodding when it didn\u0027t tear. (Original Text)

为了证实她的说法，维吉塔抓住板子的两端，尽力将其拉伸，当没有撕裂时，他点了点头。

And to verify its sturdiness, he punched the plate; it didn\u0027t budge. (Original Text)

为了验证其坚固性，他用拳头猛击了一下装备板，它没有动摇。

Completely ignoring the fact that they were in the kitchen, Gohan and Vegeta stripped to their boxers and tried the outfits on. (Original Text)

完全无视他们身处厨房的事实，悟饭和维吉塔只剩内裤，试穿上了这些装备。

As Gohan slipped into the body suit, he stared at the purple Gi and pants discarded on the floor, the outfit given to him by Piccolo. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

当悟饭穿上紧身衣时，他盯着地板上抛弃的紫色道袍和裤子，那是派科洛给他的服装。

In many ways, it was symbolic of the progress he had made since returning home. (Original Text)

在很多方面，这象征着他自从回到家后所取得的进步。

Now, he was assuming the same uniform that represented his worst experiences – the bination of colors he thought of as a security blanket in Frieza\u0027s harsh organization. (Original Text)

现在，他要穿上象征着他最糟糕经历的相同制服 —— 这种颜色组合在弗利萨残酷的组织中是他的安全保障。

As he slipped on the armor and gloves, he looked up and down his own body. (Original Text)

当他穿上盔甲和手套时，他上下打量着自己的身体。

All of the violence and toxicity the armor carried was no longer part of his life – but on the other hand, he was about to fight Frieza. (Original Text)

盔甲所代表的所有暴力和毒性已不再是他生活的一部分 —— 但另一方面，他正准备与弗利萨战斗。

When that bastard died, he needed to know that he brought it all on himself. (Original Text)

当那个混蛋死去时，他需要知道是他自作自受。

The last thing he needed to see, the last thing he needed to think, was that his own subjects had destroyed him. (Original Text)

他最不想看到、最不想思考的是他自己的属下摧毁了他。

He gripped his palms in his white gloves and stopped to look at Vegeta. (Original Text)

他用白手套握紧双手，停下来看着维吉塔。

The prince seemed pleased with his armor, too, and looked back at Gohan. They both nodded. (Original Text)

王子似乎也对自己的盔甲感到满意，然后望向悟饭。他们互相点头。

They weren\u0027t sure if their power was up to snuff yet, but they were sure as hell ready to fight regardless. (Original Text)

他们不确定自己的力量是否足够强大，但他们无论如何都准备好战斗。

Bulma stroked her chin with an admiring smile towards Vegeta. \"Sheesh, more like the Prince of all Snacks.\" (Original Text)

布尔玛抚摸着下巴，对维吉塔露出仰慕的微笑。“哎呀，真是全宇宙的小吃王子。”

While Vegeta grunted, Gohan grimaced with red cheeks. Nope, he hadn\u0027t gotten any more used to that. (Original Text)

维吉塔咕哝了一声，悟饭的脸红了起来，面露难堪。不，他对那个还没有适应。

\"I\u0027ve got the material ready for a few more sets, so don\u0027t worry about wearing them out,\" Bulma said. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

“我已经准备好了足够制作几套的材料，所以不用担心穿坏它们，”布尔玛说道。

After they both nodded, Vegeta and Gohan left the kitchen. \"Have you spoken to Kiyomi and your girlfriend?\" Vegeta asked. (Original Text)

在他们互相点头后，维吉塔和悟饭离开了厨房。“你和清宫和你的女朋友说过话吗？”维吉塔问道。

\"Nope, not since she told me they were on the way,\" Gohan replied. (Original Text)

“不，自从她告诉我他们已经出发，我就没有和她们说过话了，”悟饭回答道。

\"Probably still sleeping.\" (Original Text)

“可能还在睡觉。”

\"Hn. I\u0027m just waiting for all these bastards to show up at this point.\" Vegeta tersely stretched his neck, releasing some tension. \"Captain Ginyu and his traveling circus won\u0027t even know what hit them.\" (Original Text)

“哼。我只是在等待所有这些混蛋现身。”维吉塔短促地伸了伸颈，释放了一些紧张情绪。“金牛团长和他的旅行马戏团甚至不知道他们遭遇了什么。”

Gohan just thought of that green-skinned, purple-haired rodent. Gomayn. The orchestrator of all the madness; though it did end up working out in his favor in the end, Gohan no less hated the idiot. Sure, he didn\u0027t even need the two years of training to kill him, but he still wanted to see him squirm nonetheless. (Original Text)

悟饭脑海中浮现出那个绿皮肤、紫头发的害虫——戈麦恩。他是所有混乱的策划者；尽管最终结果对他有利，但悟饭仍然非常讨厌这个白痴。当然，他甚至不需要经过两年的训练就能杀死他，但他仍然希望看到他挣扎。

\"You\u0027re staying here once this is over, I assume?\" Vegeta asked, breaking their brief silence. (Original Text)

“这一切结束后你会留在这里吧？”维吉塔打破了他们的短暂沉默，问道。

\"Yeah,\" Gohan replied. \"And I assume there\u0027s gonna be a Vegeta Force after this?\" (Original Text)

“是的，”悟饭回答道。“我猜这之后会有一个维吉塔军团？”

Gohan had known Vegeta long enough to recognize his lofty ambitions. (Original Text)

悟饭认识维吉塔已经很久了，足够了解他的雄心壮志。

Before Frieza literally blew his dreams away, he was supposed to be the ruler of all Saiyans, a warlord continuing their reign of terror and violence. (Original Text)

在弗利萨彻底摧毁他的梦想之前，他本应成为所有赛亚人的统治者，一个继续他们的恐怖和暴力统治的军阀。

Yet, his response seemed indecisive. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

然而，他的回答似乎犹豫不决。

\"It will be different.\" (Original Text)

“会有所不同。”

Gohan curiously raised an eyebrow. They\u0027d never elaborated on what Vegeta would do in Frieza\u0027s spot. (Original Text)

悟饭好奇地扬起了眉毛。他们从未详细讨论过维吉塔会在弗利萨的位置上做些什么。

Before he surpassed him, Gohan just assumed he would be Vegeta\u0027s loyal subject and that was as far as he needed to know. (Original Text)

在超过弗利萨之前，悟饭只是假定自己将成为维吉塔的忠实属下，这就是他需要知道的范围。

\"What do you mean?\" (Original Text)

“你是什么意思？”

Vegeta sighed and leaned his shoulder against the wall. \"I couldn\u0027t care less about selling planets or any of the aristocratic bullshit Frieza and his ilk aspired to. I\u0027m a conqueror, not a businessman.\" (Original Text)

维吉塔叹了口气，靠在墙上。他说：“我对卖星球或者弗利萨及其同类追求的贵族胡扯毫不关心。我是一个征服者，不是一个商人。”

The proud prince of bloodshed and war pensively stared at the floor, teeth clenched as if he were fighting a battle. (Original Text)

这位以战争和杀戮为傲的王子沉思地盯着地板，咬紧牙关，仿佛在进行一场战斗。

\"Peaceful worlds like this.\" (Original Text)

“像这样的和平世界。”

\"will not fall into my sight. Especially not children\" (Original Text)

\"不会落入我的视线，尤其不会是孩子们\"

Gohan kept his eyes locked onto the man that, for better or worse, made him who he was today. (Original Text)

悟饭的目光一直锁定在那个无论好坏都让他成为今天这个样子的人身上。

Even a year ago, he would have expected him to proudly boast about running roughshod over the universe. (Original Text)

即使一年前，他也会预期他会自豪地吹嘘征服整个宇宙。

But this? He wouldn\u0027t dare call it altruism, but it was measured and considerate of the innocent. (Original Text)

但是这个呢？他不敢称之为利他主义，但它对无辜者来说是权衡过的、体贴入微的。

The half-Saiyan wondered if he had somehow influenced him. (Original Text)

这位半赛亚人想知道自己是否以某种方式影响了他。

\"What about Bulma and Trunks?\" (Original Text)

“布尔玛和特兰克斯呢？”

Vegeta sighed wearily, motioning his head towards the kitchen they\u0027d just left, where Bulma was still feeding their son. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

维吉塔疲倦地叹了口气，指向他们刚刚离开的厨房，布尔玛仍在喂养他们的儿子。

He got up from the wall and walked away, lost for an answer. (Original Text)

他从墙边站起来走开，不知如何回答。

Gohan stood in place. (Original Text)

悟饭站在原地。

It wasn\u0027t any of his business what Vegeta chose to do with his own son, but for some reason, he hoped he would find a way to be in the baby\u0027s life. (Original Text)

维吉塔选择如何对待自己的儿子与他无关，但出于某种原因，他希望他能找到一种方式参与到孩子的生活中。

Then again, Gohan knew all too well how difficult it was to integrate himself into a normal family, and he didn\u0027t have the thirty plus years of baggage Vegeta carried around. (Original Text)

然而，悟饭非常清楚将自己融入一个正常家庭有多么困难，而且他没有维吉塔背负了三十多年的包袱。

Deciding it was best to leave it in Vegeta\u0027s own hands, Gohan headed for the elevator. (Original Text)

悟饭决定将这个问题最好交给维吉塔自己处理，他朝着电梯走去。

Following the push of a button, he stepped through the sliding doors and leaned back against the wall, relaxing himself after a long training session. (Original Text)

按下按钮后，他走过滑动门，靠在墙上，放松自己，经过了漫长的训练。

He looked down at his armor plate, drawn in by the gold accents. (Original Text)

他低头看着自己的装甲板，被金色装饰吸引着。

And then the elevator\u0027s roof tore open. (Original Text)

然后电梯的顶部被撕开。

Gohan shrieked and looked up, shoulders squared and eyes locked, ready to address the cause of the disturbance. (Original Text)

悟饭尖叫着抬头，双肩挺直，目光锁定，准备面对干扰的原因。

A second later, the cause revealed himself and his black horns, pink scales, and armor similar to the plates Gohan wore. (Original Text)

一秒钟后，原因显露出来，他有着黑色的角、粉红色的鳞片，和与悟饭所穿装甲类似的盔甲。

Frieza. Only, he was almost twice the size he was before. (Original Text)

弗利萨。只不过，他的体积几乎是之前的两倍大。

\"Quite the way to meet again, don\u0027t you think?\" (Original Text)

“再次见面的方式相当有趣，不是吗？”

Snarling venomously, Gohan did the only thing he could and thrust his fist forward. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

悟饭毒蛇般地咆哮着，他能做的唯一一件事就是向前猛击拳头。

He wound up punching the elevator door instead, breaking it off its frame and startling a white-coated scientist so badly he tossed his papers all over the place. (Original Text)

结果他猛击的是电梯门，将其从门框上打掉，使一个穿着白大褂的科学家受到惊吓，以至于他把纸张乱扔一地。

Gohan frantically looked back and forth, unable to find Frieza. He looked up. (Original Text)

悟饭疯狂地左右张望，找不到弗利萨。他抬头望去。

... and realize the roof was perfectly fine. Frazzled and confused, Gohan stumbled from the elevator and leaned against the hallway wall with his hand, his heart racing at lightning speed. (Original Text)

……才意识到天花板完好无损。悟饭感到混乱和困惑，他从电梯中蹒跚而出，用手扶住走廊的墙壁，他的心跳加速得如闪电般快。

\"Is everything okay, kid?\" he heard the doctor ask from behind. (Original Text)

“孩子，没事吧？”他听到医生在身后问道。

He waved him off, shutting his eyes and attempting to center his breathing. (Original Text)

他挥手示意他离开，闭上眼睛，试图调整呼吸。

It was an illusion, his mind playing tricks and nothing more. (Original Text)

那只是幻觉，他的心理在作祟，仅此而已。

Rather than accept his help, Gohan marched through the stairway door and sat down on the steps, huffing deep breaths. (Original Text)

悟饭没有接受他的帮助，径直走过楼梯门，坐在台阶上，深深地喘着气。

After shaking his head and channeling his Ki, Gohan\u0027s heartrate settled down. (Original Text)

他摇了摇头，调动气力，悟饭的心率平稳下来。

It had been nothing more than a nervous episode; they happened every now and then. (Original Text)

那只是一次神经紧张的发作，这种情况偶尔会发生。

After speaking with a few doctors around Capsule Corp over the last near-year, Gohan knew he wouldn\u0027t just be magically fixed with a simple year of mental training. (Original Text)

在过去将近一年里与Capsule Corp的几位医生交谈后，悟饭知道仅仅进行一年简单的心理训练并不能奇迹般地解决问题。

\"It\u0027s just nerves,\" Gohan assured himself aloud. (Original Text)

“只是紧张而已”，悟饭大声向自己保证。

He just knew Frieza was drawing near. The tension was piling up. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

他知道弗利萨正在靠近。紧张感在积聚。

No longer interested in relaxation, Gohan headed back downstairs, walked out of the pound, and headed for the skies with one Ki signature in mind. (Original Text)

悟饭对放松不再感兴趣，他下楼，走出大院，意念中只有一个气力特征，他冲上了天空。

As Gohan expected, his trek through the clouds took him to a nondescript wasteland. However, he saw two extra black-haired and blonde-haired guests. He\u0027d been seeking Piccolo, but also found Lapis and Lazuli with him. (Original Text)

正如悟饭所预料的，他穿越云层的旅程将他带到了一个不起眼的荒地。然而，他看到了两个额外的黑发和金发的客人。他一直在寻找龙珠的解释者，但也发现了拉蒂斯和拉祖利与他在一起。

\"We thought that was you,\" Lapis called out from the valley below. (Original Text)

“我们以为那是你，”拉蒂斯在下面的山谷中喊道。

Piccolo looked up with an indifferent frown. (Original Text)

派克洛面无表情地抬起头。

Gohan acknowledged them with a nod and dropped down. (Original Text)

悟饭点头示意，然后下降。

\"Hey,\" Lazuli said. (Original Text)

“嗨，”拉祖利说道。

Though Gohan nodded at her, they both avoided eye contact as much as possible. (Original Text)

尽管悟饭对她点了点头，他们两人都尽量避免眼神接触。

It was strange; Lapis was the one Gohan killed, yet it was his sister that was awkward around him. Given the circumstances, of course, it made some sense. (Original Text)

这很奇怪；悟饭杀死的是拉蒂斯，但却是他的姐姐在他面前感到尴尬。考虑到情况，当然有一定的道理。

\"We were training for a little bit,\" Lapis said. \"Testing out our new power.\" (Original Text)

“我们进行了一小段时间的训练，”拉蒂斯说道。“测试一下我们的新力量。”

Though he couldn\u0027t sense it, Gohan had seen the end results of Bulma\u0027s experiments for himself. After months of tests, restarts, and using him and Vegeta as guinea pigs, Bulma had finally augmented the twins\u0027 power source – though not anywhere close to the full extent Dr. Gero projected. (Original Text)

尽管悟饭无法感知到，但他亲眼目睹了布尔玛实验的最终结果。经过数月的测试、重启，并将他和贝吉塔作为试验品，布尔玛终于增强了双胞胎的能源，尽管远远达不到戈洛博士预测的程度。

Further research revealed they were supposed to be in the hundreds of millions. Between the pregnancy and sheer resources, Bulma could never hope to reach that point. But they were just under a million now, making them certain doom for anyone short of a transformed Frieza. (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

进一步的研究表明，他们的力量应该达到数亿。考虑到怀孕和资源的限制，布尔玛永远无法达到那个水平。但现在他们的力量接近一百万，对于除了变身的弗利萨以外的任何人来说，都是毁灭的威胁。

With his father, Vegeta, Piccolo, the twins, and himself, the Earth had enough. (Original Text)

伴随着他的父亲贝吉塔、比克洛、双胞胎和自己，地球已经足够了。

So why was Gohan\u0027s body suit still dampening with nervous sweats? (Original Text)

那么为什么悟饭的紧身衣仍然湿透了，满是紧张的汗水？

\"How about we make it a tag-team match?\" Lapis suggested. \"Purple team vs. Cyber team.\" (Original Text)

“我们怎么来个双人战斗？”拉蒂斯建议道。“紫队对战机械队。”

Both purple-clad fighters of wildly varying heights side-eyed each other. \"Like I\u0027d need your help,\" Piccolo scoffed. (Original Text)

两位身穿紫色战服身高差异巨大的战士互相瞟了一眼。“就像我需要你的帮助一样，”派克洛嗤之以鼻地说道。

\"Likewise,\" Gohan replied with a smirk. (Original Text)

“同样如此，”悟饭咧嘴笑着回答道。

\"Well if you two don\u0027t want to co-exist, then consider me bored and leaving,\" Lazuli drawled. (Original Text)

“好吧，如果你们两个不想共存，那就当我闷得不行，打算离开了，”拉祖利慢吞吞地说道。

Rather than fly away, however, she strolled to a rock and dug a cigarette \u0026 a lighter from her pocket. (Original Text)

然而，她没有飞走，而是悠闲地走向一块岩石，并从口袋里取出一支香烟和一个打火机。

\"As usual,\" her brother snorted. He turned towards Gohan. \"Anyway, how\u0027s it going? You holding up okay?\" (Original Text)

“一如既往，”她的哥哥嗤之以鼻。他转向悟饭。“无论如何，进展如何？你还好吗？”

\"I\u0027m alright,\" Gohan fibbed. He didn\u0027t want to spread his anxiety to everyone else, not after all of the progress made. (Original Text)

“我还好，”悟饭撒谎道。他不想把自己的焦虑传播给其他人，尤其是在取得了如此多的进展之后。

\"You sure?\" (Original Text)

\"确定吗？\"

Gohan glared at the grass; with how much he unconsciously wore his emotions on his sleeve, he wasn\u0027t the best liar. \"Yeah. Can we just train, instead?\" (Original Text)

悟饭怒视着草地；因为他无意识地将情感表露无遗，他并不是最擅长说谎的人。“是的。我们可以训练吗？”

Though still skeptical, Lapis nodded. \"Sure thing.\" He turned towards his distant sister. \"Yo, Laz! You still up for a battle?\" (Original Text)

第19章 决战19

虽然仍然持怀疑态度，拉蒂斯点了点头。“当然。”他转向他远处的妹妹。“喂，拉兹！你还准备好战斗吗？”

Preoccupied with her cigarette, Lazuli nodded affirmatively. Gohan glanced at Piccolo, and the Namekian sighed with resignation. \"Just don\u0027t get in my way,\" he said. (Original Text)

拉祖利正在忙着抽烟，点了点头。悟饭瞥了一眼比克洛，那名纳美克星人无奈地叹了口气。“只要不妨碍到我就行，”他说道。

Gohan shook his head. Ever the petitor, Piccolo refused to acknowledge the true superior. But that was okay – Gohan was a boy of action, not words. As Lazuli put out her cigarette and joined the three men, Gohan squeezed his fists. A smattering of the Ki he\u0027d worked so hard to build up bubbled to the surface. He shook with anticipation, looking forward to a sparring partner other than Vegeta for once. (Original Text)

悟饭摇了摇头。比克洛始终是个竞争者，他拒绝承认真正的优势。但没关系，悟饭是个行动派，而不是说话派。当拉祖利熄灭了香烟，加入了这三个男人的时候，悟饭握紧了拳头。他艰苦努力积累的气息涌现出来。他充满期待地颤抖着，期待着与维吉塔以外的搭档进行一场对决。

Unfortunately, a sharp sensation pierced his mind and routed his eyes to the sky before he could even power up. (Original Text)

不幸的是，在他甚至还没来得及发动力量之前，一股剧烈的感觉刺痛着他的头脑，使他的目光转向天空。

It wasn\u0027t just one Ki signature – it was an innumerable cluster. (Original Text)

不仅仅是一个气息迹象——而是无数的聚集。

The other three stared at Gohan warily, until they all felt it too. (Original Text)

其他三人警惕地盯着悟饭，直到他们也感受到了。

\"What the hell is that?!\" Lazuli yelled. (Original Text)

“那是什么东西？！”拉祖利大喊道。

Gohan\u0027s legs grew wobbly. (Original Text)

悟饭的腿有些发软。

Even after two years away from him, he could never mistake that frigid power. (Original Text)

即使离开了他两年，他也绝不会认错那种寒冷的力量。

\"He\u0027s…he\u0027s ing.\" (Original Text)

“他……他来了。”

From what Gohan could tell, they were still a good distance away, but the source of his growing tension had shown itself at last. (Original Text)

从悟饭所能感知到的情况来看，他们仍然相距颇远，但他日益紧张的源头终于显露出来。

\"Frieza and his army?!\" Piccolo asked. (Original Text)

“弗利萨和他的军队？！”比克洛问道。

Gohan only nodded, eyes glued to the clouds. (Original Text)

悟饭只是点了点头，目光紧盯着云层。

Though they weren\u0027t anywhere close, he could practically see pods ripping through the skies, ready to tear apart his home. (Original Text)

虽然他们并不在附近，但他几乎可以看到一艘艘飞船穿越天空，准备撕碎他的家园。

\"There\u0027s thousands of them,\" the normally calm Lapis said. (Original Text)

“有数千个，”平时冷静的拉蒂斯说道。

Gohan looked up at the three – all stoic in nearly any situation, now quivering with dread. (Original Text)

悟饭抬头看着这三人，平日里几乎无论遇到什么情况都能保持坚定，而此刻却因恐惧而颤抖。

This was what Frieza\u0027s presence did to people. (Original Text)

这就是弗利萨的存在对人们的影响。

\"Spread out!\" Gohan manded, his voice cracking. (Original Text)

“分散开！”悟饭命令道，声音颤抖着。

\"We\u0027ve only got an hour till they\u0027re here!\" (Original Text)

“我们只有一个小时，他们就会到达！”

Not elaborating any further, Gohan leapt into the air. (Original Text)

没有再多解释，悟饭跃入空中。

Whether he thought he was ready or not, it didn\u0027t matter anymore. (Original Text)

无论他是否认为自己准备好了，这已经无关紧要了。

There would be no running away. (Original Text)

不会再有逃避的机会。

Everyone had discussed the situation a couple of weeks ago, anyway – they would all guard different regions of the planet. (Original Text)

无论如何，几周前大家已经讨论过这个情况，他们将守护地球的不同区域。

Goku would get Chi-Chi, Goten, and Ox-King up in the lookout. (Original Text)

孙悟空会带着琪琪、悟天和牛魔王前往神界。

And while Vegeta would guard West City, Gohan had another place in mind. (Original Text)

而悟空会守护西都，悟饭则有另一个地方考虑。

He sped past a \"Wele to Orange Star City\" billboard and dropped down. (Original Text)

他飞快地从一块“欢迎来到橙星城”的广告牌旁边飞过，然后降落下来。

After finishing his coffee, Vegeta headed for the hall, but not before turning around and watching Bulma feed his small, purple-haired son with her back towards him. (Original Text)

喝完咖啡后，贝吉塔走向大厅，但在转身之前，他看着布尔玛背对着他喂养他那个小小的、紫色头发的儿子。

His son. Even after nine months and change, he couldn\u0027t get used to it. (Original Text)

他的儿子。即使过去了九个多月，他还是无法习惯。

After the destruction of his race, Vegeta had no real interest in restoring the Saiyan bloodline, concerned only with overthrowing Frieza. (Original Text)

在种族被摧毁之后，贝吉塔对恢复赛亚人血脉没有真正的兴趣，他只关心推翻弗利萨。
