第18章 决战18（2 / 2）

"She wao tuck Trunks into bed and tuck herself in food measure." (inal Text)

她想把特兰克斯送进床里，也想顺便自己也钻进去。

"The bedroom door was already open, which she expected." (inal Text)

卧室的门已经开着，这是她预料中的。

"What she hadn't expected, however, was the presence of the man that had beaten her inside." (inal Text)

然而，她没有预料到的是，里面竟然有一个先于她进来的男人。

"Standing in front of Trunks' crib was Vegeta himself, his arms folded as always, and scrutinizing his newborn son." (inal Text)

站在特兰克斯的婴儿床前的正是维吉塔本人，他像往常一样双臂交叉，紧盯着他的新生儿。

"He didn't notice Bulma entering." (inal Text)

他没有注意到布尔玛进来。

"I didn't expect you here," Bulma said, approag the crib. (inal Text)

"我没想到你会在这里，" 布尔玛说着，走向婴儿床。

"Vegeta only aowledged her preseh a grunt." (inal Text)

维吉塔只是发出一声嗯来承认她的存在。

"Trunks y against his fortable sheets, his feet kig but his rigid eyes captivated by his mismatched parents." (inal Text)

特兰克斯躺在舒适的床单上，他的小脚踢动着，但他那坚定的眼神却被他那对不同的父母吸引住。

"Bulma smiled; he mao both be the cutest baby she'd ever seen, and also the mea – a healthy mix of both parents." (inal Text)

布尔玛微笑了，他既是她见过最可爱的婴儿，也是最讨厌的——两个父母的完美结合。

"He doesn't even look like a Saiyan. His eyes are blue." (inal Text)

"他看起来一点都不像个赛亚人。他的眼睛是蓝色的。"

Bulma frow her co-parent, hating the way he critiqued his – their - son. (inal Text)

布尔玛皱起了眉头，讨厌他批评他们的儿子的方式。

"Gohan is half-Saiyan, too, but he has dark hair and bck eyes just like all full-bloods." (inal Text)

"戈汉也是半个赛亚人，但他有着和所有纯种赛亚人一样的黑发和黑眼睛。"

Bulma rolled her eyes. "You saw his mom, genius. She just so happeo have bck hair and bck eyes herself." With a mischievous smirk, she added, "Obviously, my genes are just strohan yours." (inal Text)

布尔玛翻了个白眼。"你看过他妈妈了，天才。她碰巧也有黑发和黑眼睛。"她带着顽皮的笑容补充道："显然，我的基因比你的强大。"

Vegeta scoffed at the sheer absurdity. "Don't be absurd." (inal Text)

维吉塔对这种荒谬感到不屑。"别胡扯了。"

Long immuo his threads, Bulma ughed and cautiously eyed the tail curling arouh Trunks. He ughed at it, regarding it more as a toy than a fifth limb. "We're gonna have to get rid of that thing soon." (inal Text)

布尔玛对他的威胁已经免疫了，她笑了起来，并小心地盯着盘绕在特兰克斯身下的尾巴。他对此笑了起来，将其视为玩具而不是第五根肢体。"我们很快就得摆脱那东西了。"

"The tail stays. At least he'll have ohing that indicates he's a Saiyan." (inal Text)

"尾巴会留下。至少他会有一样能表明他是赛亚人的东西。"

"But the risks, Vegeta. God restored the moon. We wouldn't want another rampage like what happened with Gohan." (inal Text)

"但是风险呢，维吉塔。上帝恢复了月亮。我们不想再发生像戈汉那样的狂暴事件。"

Both Bulma aa winced, recalling that night that seemed like ay ago. (inal Text)

布尔玛和维吉塔都畏缩了一下，回忆起那个似乎过去了一个世纪的夜晚。

In hindsight, that may have been the first sign that Vegeta wasn't a total bastard, with him narrowly saving her from a gruesome death. (inal Text)

事后来看，这可能是维吉塔并非彻头彻尾的混蛋的第一个迹象，他险些将她从可怕的死亡中拯救出来。

Luckily, Gohan had e a long way, having bee immuo the transformation's effects after his mastery of that form that nearly killed Vegeta. (inal Text)

幸运的是，悟饭已经取得了长足的进步，在掌握了那个几乎杀死维吉塔的形态后，他对这种变身的影响免疫了。

Finally, Vegeta grunted in frustration. "Just put him to bed early on those nights, then." (inal Text)

最后，维吉塔沮丧地咕哝道。“那就在那些晚上早点让他上床睡觉。”

"I guess that makes sense," Bulma ceded, not missing the victorious snort from Vegeta. "His name is Trunks, by the way." (inal Text)

“我猜那是有道理的，”布尔玛承认道，没有错过维吉塔得意的哼笑声。“顺便说一句，他叫特兰克斯。”

Bulma turned her eyes to Vegeta, waiting for his rea. To her dismay, his eye twitched with disgust. "Tch. What a ridiculous name." (inal Text)

布尔玛将目光转向维吉塔，等待他的反应。令她失望的是，他的眼睛表现出厌恶的抽动。“切，多么荒谬的名字。”

Bulma coarsely put her hand on her hips and shifted to face him directly. "Oh, is that so? Care to share what brilliant name you would e up with, or should I just piething from a farmer's market ad?" (inal Text)

布尔玛粗鲁地双手叉腰，转身面对他。“哦，是这样吗？愿意分享你会想出什么杰出的名字，还是我该从农贸市场广告中挑选一个？”

Whea vehemently scoffed, Bulma smiled with triumph. "What drivel. I would have named him Vegeta, obviously." (inal Text)

当维吉塔咄咄逼人地嗤笑时，布尔玛得意地笑了起来。“多么无聊。我肯定会给他取名为维吉塔的。”

He's the fifth geion of the royal bloodline and thus requires the name. (inal Text)

他是王室血统的第五代，因此需要这个名字。

"Well, it's a little te for that, buddy. You weren't there, so you had no say," Bulma replied with a hint of bitterhat Vegeta clearly didn't miss. "Y on me about my real name, so sider our family tradition karma." (inal Text)

“唉，伙计，现在说这个有点晚了。你当时不在，所以没有发言权，”布尔玛带着一丝苦涩回答道，维吉塔显然没有错过这一点。“你还老是嘲笑我的真名，所以把我们家族传统视为报应吧。”

With a growl, Vegeta spun on his heel to leave. "I have more important matters than arguing over names." Bulma followed him out, remembering a burning question that had been on her mind. (inal Text)

维吉塔怒吼一声，转身离开。“我有更重要的事情要处理，比争论名字更重要。”布尔玛跟着他走了出去，记起了心中一直存在的一个问题。

"Wait," she called. Vegeta sighed and stopped, turning his head to the side to aowledge her. (inal Text)

“等等，”她喊道。维吉塔叹了口气，停下来，转过头承认她的存在。

"What now?" (inal Text)

“现在又有什么事？”

"Will you be staying here for him?" (inal Text)

“你会为了他而留在这里吗？”

Bulma pursed her lips, already brag herself for disappoi. Rather than respond, Vegeta turned his face forward. His tense silenly spanned for half of a mi felt like years from Bulma's perspective. (inal Text)

布尔玛噘起嘴唇，已经为失望做好了心理准备。维吉塔没有回答，他转过脸去，望向前方。他紧张的沉默只持续了半分钟，但在布尔玛看来却像是过了好几年。

"No." (inal Text)

“不。”

She may have expected it, but it didn't hurt ao actually hear it. "But why? He's your son." (inal Text)

她或许已经预料到了，但实际听到这句话还是让她感到痛苦。“但为什么？他是你的儿子。”

"And…? Once Frieza's defeated, Gohan and I will go after his brother and father . And ohat's over, I will finally cim my birthright and rule over their entire empire myself." (inal Text)

“那又怎样？一旦打败弗利萨，我和悟饭接下来会追击他的兄弟和父亲。等到这一切结束，我将终于要回我应得的权利，亲自统治他们整个帝国。”

"Are you actually serious, Vegeta?" Bulma snapped, her voice hot. "After everything Gohan's been through…hell, after everything YOU'VE been through, you're still going to keep that shitshow going?" (inal Text)

“你是认真的，维吉塔吗？”布尔玛咬牙切齿地说道，声音带着愤怒。“在悟饭经历了这一切之后…见鬼，甚至在你经历了这一切之后，你还要继续那场混乱吗？”

Vegeta spun around with a resentful scowl. "I would ge certain things, obviously. For ohing, I won't use children." (inal Text)

维吉塔怒视着转身。“我会做出一些改变，显然。首先，我不会使用孩子。”

"Oh great, you're just gonna dispose of them like waste instead," Bulma said with a sied eyeroll. "How fug reassuring." (inal Text)

“哦太好了，你只是将他们像废物一样丢弃。”布尔玛厌恶地翻了个白眼。“真他妈的令人放心。”

Vegeta hissed through his teeth, his forehead swelling. "Have you fottely who I am? I may have lived here for a few months, but make no mistake – I am every bit the queror I was when I arrived on this mudball, aher you nor a child will ge that." (inal Text)

维吉塔咬紧牙关，额头肿胀。“你忘记我是谁了吗？我在这里生活了几个月，但别搞错了——我仍然是我刚到这个狗屎星球时的征服者，无论是你还是一个孩子都无法改变这一点。”

"Bulma huffed air and shook her head, trying to keep from getting wound up." (inal Text)

布尔玛嘟哝了一口气，摇了摇头，试图不让自己太过激动。

"Fine. I'm not gonna act like our situation fell anywhere in your pns and a destitute siher I am certainly not. But I guess the joke's on me for thinking you could ever grow and try making this universe a little less shitty." (inal Text)

“好吧。我不会假装我们的处境是在你的计划中，我也不是一个贫困的单身母亲。但我想我笑话了自己，以为你会成长并努力让这个宇宙变得好一点。”

"It's my destiny to rule this universe, not save it," Vegeta argued, though his eyes were notably averted from Bulma's. "And I have no i in eace-loving worlds like this. There are sewage-ridden ponds out there with strong oppos, just waiting for the big fish to take over." (inal Text)

“统治这个宇宙是我的命运，而不是拯救它。”维吉塔争辩道，尽管他的目光明显避开了布尔玛。“而且我对像这样的软弱、爱好和平的世界没有兴趣。外面有污秽的池塘，那里有强大的对手，正等着大鱼接管。”

"Bulma nontly folded her arms, at her wit's end with Vegeta. They'd been through this song and dance a few times through her pregnancy. "Fine. You win. The universe is yiant, personal MMA promotion and your son & I are just bnk faces in the crowd. My mistake for ever expeg anything more from you." (inal Text)

布尔玛漫不经心地双臂交叉，对维吉塔已经忍无可忍了。在她怀孕期间，他们已经经历了几次这样的争吵。“好吧，你赢了。整个宇宙都是你的巨大个人综合格斗赛事，而你的儿子和我只是人群中的无名之辈。我犯了错误，曾经期待你能做更多。”

"Vegeta narrowed his eyes resentfully, eventually folding his arms again. His typical defense meism. "You're right – your mistake. Maybe stop and think the ime you spread ys for a Saiyan." (inal Text)

维吉塔怨恨地眯起眼睛，最终再次交叉双臂。这是他典型的防御机制。“你说得对——是你的错误。也许下次你向一个赛亚人张开双腿的时候可以停下来好好思考一下。”

"Bulma's face suddenly grew burning hot as she yearo sp Vegeta across the cheek." (inal Text)

Bulma突然感到脸火辣辣的，她渴望扇Vegeta一巴掌。

"The Saiyan prince was nothing if not calcuted, and he kly what buttons to push." (inal Text)

赛亚人王子如果不是精心策划的话，他也清楚该按哪些按钮。

"But she took a deep breath, not wanting her son to see the argumee." (inal Text)

但她深吸了一口气，不想让她的儿子看到争论升级。

"Gohan and the man across from her gave her the impression that Saiyans had faster itive development than humans." (inal Text)

Gohan和坐在她对面的那个人给了她这样的印象，赛亚人的认知发展比人类更快。

"So, she settled for a cold, uing stare." (inal Text)

所以，她选择了一种冷漠而无情的眼神。

"Go to hell, Vegeta. Do whatever you want." (inal Text)

“滚一边去，Vegeta。你想干什么就干什么。”

"Gdly." (inal Text)

"很乐意。"

"Not even the joy of her son's smile could stop Bulma from groaning." (inal Text)

即使是儿子微笑的喜悦也无法阻止Bulma的呻吟。

"Arguing had always been Bulma aa's primary mode of unication, but it was always more pyful and flirtatious." (inal Text)

争吵一直是Bulma和Vegeta之间主要的交流方式，但总是更多地带有玩笑和调情的成分。

"In the waning months of her pregnancy, however, and especially the past month sirunks' birth, their verbal spats had bee dht nasty." (inal Text)

然而，在她怀孕的最后几个月，特别是自Trunks出生以来的过去一个月，他们的口角变得相当恶劣。

"Really, she just wanted all of this to be over." (inal Text)

实际上，她只是希望这一切都结束。

"The shadow of this monster known as Frieza that she had only heard through words just brought more rumbling to the mountain that was Bulma's stress." (inal Text)

这个被称为Frieza的怪物的阴影，她只是通过听说来了解，只是给Bulma的压力增添了更多的隐忧。

"Even if she would have to live a life with a son who would never know his father, she could do it without w about somebody blowing everything up." (inal Text)

即使她将过上一个儿子永远不会认识父亲的生活，她也可以不担心有人会把一切都毁掉。

"Well, until Piccolo got the world domination itch again, at least." (inal Text)

"嗯，至少在Piccolo再次有世界统治欲望之前。"

"She turned her attention to a door at the other end of the boratory." (inal Text)

她将注意力转向实验室另一端的一扇门。

"The armor hadn't been the only thing she'd been hard at work on." (inal Text)

她不仅仅在制作护甲方面努力工作。

"After setting Trunks down, she went to the doors and opehem up." (inal Text)

将Trunks放下后，她走到门口并打开了门。

"Aire armory – enhanced ons of all variety." (inal Text)

一个完整的军械库 - 各种改进型武器。

"In this room was just a smattering of what her, her father, and tless Capsule Corporation stists had worked on." (inal Text)

在这个房间里只有她、她的父亲和无数个胶囊公司的科学家们所努力工作的一小部分成果。

"After making a breakthrough with the twins' power source, she carried over her findings to ensuring the Earth's military could handle some of the lowest grunts of Frieza's army with energy-enhanced guns and grenades." (inal Text)

在取得与双胞胎的能源方面的突破后，她将她的发现应用到确保地球军队可以用能量增强的枪械和手榴弹对付Frieza军队中最低级的士兵。

"She observed her work with pride." (inal Text)

她自豪地观察着她的工作。

"The Earth was ready to fight this threat." (inal Text)

地球已经准备好应对这个威胁。

"And any casualty could be repaired." (inal Text)

任何伤亡都可以修复。

"The baby in the chair a few feet away didn't give her much time to marvel, of course, as he broke out into loud wails." (inal Text)

椅子上的婴儿发出大声哭喊，当然，这让她没有太多时间去欣赏。

"Already suspeg the cause, she hurried over, picked Trunks up aly patted his head." (inal Text)

已经怀疑到原因，她赶紧走过去，抱起Trunks并轻轻拍拍他的头。

"Aww, is little Trunks hungry? Don't worry, I'll fix ya right up!" (inal Text)

哎呀，小Trunks饿了吗？别担心，我会给你安排好的！

"Bulma got up and marched to the kit." (inal Text)

Bulma站起来走向厨房。

"To her surprise, Vegeta had been standing at the kit ter already, in the middle of preparing a drink with the coffee maker." (inal Text)

让她惊讶的是，Vegeta已经站在厨房的台面前，正在用咖啡机准备一杯饮料。

"In the past couple of weeks, he basically lived in the spaceship, devoting 150% of his time to training." (inal Text)

在过去的几周里，他基本上生活在飞船上，将自己150%的时间投入到训练中。

"Where she would have previously given him a snide greeting, her hard feelings now kept her from aowledging his presen any way." (inal Text)

在过去她可能会给他一个讽刺的问候，现在她的情绪让她无法以任何方式承认他的存在。

"She opened up her rge pantry and looked for a jar of peanut butter while Trunks kept g in her grip." (inal Text)

她打开了她宽敞的食品储藏室，寻找着一罐花生酱，而Trunks则在她的怀抱中不停地哭泣着。

"Would it kill you to cease the boy's g?!" Vegeta suddenly yelled from the ter. "There's barely any damn peace & quiet here as it is." (inal Text)

"停止男孩的哭声会杀了你吗？！"维吉塔突然从柜台上大喊道。 "这里本来就没有多少宁静与安宁。"

"I'm w on it, obviously," Bulma shouted back. "Unless you have ideas of your own." (inal Text)

"我正在努力，显然。"布尔玛回应道。 "除非你有自己的主意。"

"That's what I thought, she wisely kept to herself as she finally found the red jar that had already accumuted a mural of brown stains in just a month." (inal Text)

"我就知道。"她聪明地对自己保持沉默，终于找到了那个红色罐子，在短短一个月内就已经积累了一层褐色污渍的壁画。

"After grabbing a spoon from the drawer, she cracked the jar open and scooped some peanut butter up, pg the spoon to Trunks' mouth." (inal Text)

从抽屉里拿出一把勺子后，她打开罐子，舀了一些花生酱，将勺子放到Trunks的嘴边。

"Unfortunately, the half-Saiyan baby seemed more ied in g thaing." (inal Text)

不幸的是，这个半 Saiyan 的宝宝似乎对哭泣比吃东西更感兴趣。

"Ugh, you're not making this any easier, Tru-" (inal Text)

"啊，你没有让这件事变得更容易，Tru-"

"To her bewilderment, Trunks spped the spoon out of her hand a it flying straight to the window. The gss shattered like it was stri by a speeding bullet." (inal Text)

使她感到困惑的是，Trunks一巴掌将勺子打落，并将其直接扔向窗户。 玻璃像被一颗高速子弹击中一样破碎了。

"She could only blink in exasperation, cursing the universe fiving her a baby that robably strohan her already. Maybe she should have beeing gravity room reps with Vegeta." (inal Text)

她只能愤怒地眨了眨眼，咒骂宇宙为何给了她一个可能比她还强壮的婴儿。 也许她应该和维吉塔一起去重力室锻炼。

"Well, that worked splendidly," Vegeta remarked before downing his finished coffee all at once. (inal Text)

"嗯，这效果不错，"维吉塔说着，然后一口气喝完了他的咖啡。

After a sful side-eye, Bulma jerked her head bad forth. (inal Text)

在一个鄙视的斜视之后，布尔玛抖了抖头。

"Shit, where did I put that pacifier?" (inal Text)

"该死，我把奶嘴放在哪儿了？"

Thinking on her feet, Bulma slid to Vegeta and shoved Trunks towards him. (inal Text)

布尔玛迅速想到办法，滑到维吉塔身边，将Trunks向他推了过去。

"Here, hold him while I look for it." (inal Text)

"给，你抱着他，我去找奶嘴。"

"Are you serious, woman?!" Vegeta balked. (inal Text)

"你是认真的，女人？！"维吉塔咄咄逼人地说道。

"It'll just be a freaking miake him!" (inal Text)

"就只需要一会儿而已；接着他！"

Clearly either in no mood to tinue arguing or knowing she wouldn't drop the issue (probably both), Vegeta relented and gingerly grabbed him by his armpits, regarding him only like a pest as he stared at him. (inal Text)

显然他要么没心情继续争论，要么知道她不会放弃这个问题（可能两者都是），维吉塔屈服了，小心翼翼地用手臂搂住Trunks的腋下，盯着他看，只是把他当作一个讨厌虫而已。

But something strange caught both bickering parents by surprise – the cries stopped! Trunks stifled his whimpers to wondrously stare at his father's stern face. (inal Text)

但是令这两个争吵的父母感到惊讶的是，奇怪的事情发生了——哭声停了！Trunks压制住哭声，惊奇地盯着父亲严肃的脸。

"Holy crap! You actually got him to st!" (inal Text)

"天哪！你竟然让他停止哭泣了！"

Initially staring at her like she just sneezed into a psychotic blonde, Vegeta tried f a smirk to salvage his dignity. (inal Text)

最初他像她刚刚打喷嚏一样盯着她，仿佛她是个疯狂的金发女郎，维吉塔努力装出一副傻笑来挽救他的尊严。

"Clearly, the boy already reizes my anding presence. As he should." (inal Text)

"显然，这个孩子已经认识到我的威严存在了。他应该这样。"
