Upper-Intermediate - Detective Li 10: Final Mission (Part 4) (D1782)

李探长拿着手机,断断续续地说:“亲爱的,我知道错了,在认识到大体后,我觉得更应该培育我们的感情。管它世界怎么变,你都是我的最爱。快去吧,在广场上播种我们的希望。是我抓住了你,捕获了你。我是你的王,但我不会强人所难。”说完,便挂断了电话。
Lǐ tànzhǎng názhe shǒujī, duànduànxùxù de shuō:" qīn'àide, wǒ zhīdào cuò le, zài rènshi dào dàtǐ hòu, wǒ juéde gèng yīnggāi péiyù wǒmen de gǎnqíng. guǎntā shìjiè zěnme biàn, nǐ dōu shì wǒ de zuìài. kuài qù ba, zài guǎngchǎng shàng bōzhòng wǒmen de xīwàng. shì wǒ zhuāzhù le nǐ, bǔhuò le nǐ. wǒ shì nǐ de wáng, dàn wǒ bùhuì qiǎngrénsuǒnán.” shuōwán, biàn guàduàn le diànhuà.
Detective Li picked up the cell phone and said haltingly: "My love, I know I was wrong. When I realized the big picture, I felt that I should do more to support and nurture our feelings for one another. No matter how the world changes, you'll still be my greatest love. Go quickly. Plant our hopes in the square. I am the one who caught you, who captured you. I am your king, but I won't impose my will upon you." Finished, he hung up the phone.
“哟,死到临头了还爱来爱去的,真有你的。”
" yō, sǐdào líntóu le hái àiláiàiqù de, zhēnyǒunǐde.”
"Wow, you still use such romantic words even in the face of death. You're really something."
这时,李探长已经无力地靠在了墙边。
zhèshí, Lǐ tànzhǎng yǐjīng wúlì de kào zài le qiáng biān.
At this point, Detective Li was leaning weakly against the wall.
“好了,该说的都说了,你就等死吧!”
" hǎo le, gāishuōde dōu shuō le, nǐ jiù děng sǐ ba!”
"OK, you've said what you needed to say. Time to die!"
“慢着!”李探长用尽最后一点力气喊着。
" mànzhe!” Lǐ tànzhǎng yòngjìn zuìhòu yīdiǎn lìqi hǎn zhe.
"Wait!" Detective Li cried out with his last ounce of strength.
“对于你父亲的死我很自责,但那个时候我的职责告诉我,我并没有第二个选择。”
" duìyú nǐ fùqin de sǐ wǒ hěn zìzé, dàn nàge shíhou wǒ de zhízé gàosu wǒ, wǒ bìng méiyǒu dì 'èr ge xuǎnzé.”
"I blame myself for your father's death, but at the time my sense of duty told me that I had absolutely no other choice."
“胡说!你根本就没把他放在眼里!”
" húshuō! nǐ gēnběn jiù méi bǎ tā fàngzài yǎn lǐ!”
"Nonsense! You never cared about him!"
“在十年前那个案子中,歹徒在火车站放了毒气罐,并把你父亲打伤锁在密室中。当时我们只能先找出毒气罐的位置,因为这关系到上千人的性命。之后我们立即去找你父亲,但赶到时发现......”
" zài shínián qián nàge ànzi zhōng, dǎitú zài huǒchēzhàn fàng le dúqìguàn, bìng bǎ nǐ fùqin dǎshāng suǒ zài mìshì zhōng. dāngshí wǒmen zhǐnéng xiān zhǎochū dúqìguàn de wèizhi, yīnwèi zhè guānxì dào shàngqiān rén de xìngmìng. zhīhòu wǒmen lìjí qù zhǎo nǐ fùqin, dàn gǎndào shí fāxiàn......”
"During that case 10 years ago, the criminal had planted poison gas canisters at the train station and locked your father in a hidden room after beating him severely. At that time all we could do was search for the location of the gas canisters that threatened thousands of lives. We searched for your father immediately after, but by that time we discovered..."
“够了!住嘴!住嘴!”
" gòu le! zhùzuǐ! zhùzuǐ!”
"That's enough! Shut up! Shut up!"
“对不起!”
" duìbuqǐ!”
"I'm sorry!"
“现在说对不起有用吗?你以为你很了不起吗?我在你身边潜伏了一年,就是要找机会让你尝尝我父亲当时的痛苦。两三分钟后,你就会彻底晕死过去,而同时公安局也会爆炸。哈哈……”
" xiànzài shuō duìbuqǐ yǒuyòng ma? nǐ yǐwéi nǐ hěn liǎobuqǐ ma? wǒ zài nǐ shēnbiān qiánfú le yī nián, jiùshì yào zhǎo jīhuì ràng nǐ chángchang wǒ fùqin dāngshí de tòngkǔ. liǎng sānfēnzhōng hòu, nǐ jiù huì chèdǐ yūnsǐ guòqu, ér tóngshí gōng'ānjú yě huì bàozhà. hāhā……”
"What use do your apologies serve now? Did you think you were really that extraordinary? I've laid low by your side for a year, waiting for an opportunity to give you a taste of the suffering that my father felt. In a few minutes you'll faint completely and die as the police station explodes. Ha ha..."
“不许动!”喇叭里突然响起了小尤的声音。
" bùxǔ dòng!” lǎba lǐ tūrán xiǎngqǐ le XiǎoYóu de shēngyīn.
"Don't move!" Xiao You's voice came suddenly from the loudspeaker.
“啊,怎么是你?”
" ǎ, zěnme shì nǐ?”
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
“快放下武器!”
" kuài fàngxià wǔqì!”
"Put down your weapon now!"
“快!制止这个遥控装置!”
" kuài! zhìzhǐ zhè ge yáokòng zhuāngzhì!”
"Quickly! Disable the remote control!"
“干得好,尤丽!”李探长嘴角露出了微笑,但身体却渐渐支撑不住,晕了过去。
" gàn de hǎo, Yóu Lì!” Lǐ tànzhǎng zuǐjiǎo lùchū le wēixiào, dàn shēntǐ què jiànjiàn zhīchēng bùzhù, yūn le guòqu.
"Well done, You Li!" The corners of Detective Li's mouth curled into a smile, but he was no longer able to support himself and passed out.
