There was little that separated what Chizuru felt for Orihime and what Tatsuki did. Some might say that they were the same save for the fact that Chizuru was more open with her feelings. Tatsuki kept them inside. Despite her physical strength and skill Tatsuki was weak. Her insufferable shyness, her fear, the most intolerable mess of emotions, all prevented her from rising up and making stride toward what she sought.
千鹤对织姬的感情和龙贵的几乎没有什么区别,或许,只是前者更为开放,更擅长表达自己的情感,而龙贵却藏在心理。龙贵非常脆弱、她的羞涩、她的恐惧、以及她情感的混乱,自扰而难以忍受,使他无法努力向她内心深处所向往之所前进——即便她的身体那么强壮,亦即便她可以保护他人。
Chizuru might be called overbearing, perverted, or obtuse, but Tatsuki could only be called stupid. It was only someone stupid who would forcibly deny herself the thing she wanted most, hide it deep inside, try to wash it out of existence, only to let it somehow compact to new unbearable levels of intensity, where living without it became impossible. Yes, it was the clear marking of an idiot, or perhaps a masochist, either way Tatsuki had let it happen, and as Orihime continued to slip away from her, she felt the very real danger of her whole world suddenly imploding.
或许千鹤可以被称作为过分、放荡或是愚钝,可是龙贵只能被称作为愚蠢。唯愚蠢之人会强制否认自己内心最深处的愿想,把它埋葬,试图抹去它的存在,却将它愈演愈烈,终于成瘾,没有她已无法生活。是的,只有白痴,或者受虐狂会像龙贵那样做,但当织姬渐渐从她的生活中淡出,她才感到危险,觉得自己的世界似乎一下坍塌了。
Tatsuki looked up from her thoughts. She was outside Karakura High School now. Students still lingered about conversing with one another. Tatsuki found her eyes drift for the second time in what was a short while to the figure of Chizuru Honsho, who leaned against a tree, a morose look in her eyes.
龙贵从自己的思绪中回过神来,她已经走出了空座第一高中。依旧有学生闲逛着,和其他人闲扯着这个或是那个。龙视线在人群中飘荡,漫无目的,过了一会,她看见本匠千鹤斜倚着一颗树,眼神中散溢着忧郁。
Tatsuki approached her. Despite their rocky relationship, she didn't hate Chizuru. If anything she envied her. She truthfully identified with her, it was just that protecting Orihime came before everything else.
龙贵走近她。虽然两人平时关系有些摩擦,但是龙贵并不厌恶她,也不嫉妒她。她真心同情她,并愿意宗和她拳脚相加,可是保护织姬总是在第一位,而她又常常调戏。
