Updated: Oct 12, 2022

永远的少掌门(十一)

Yǒngyuǎn de shǎo zhǎng mén (Shíyī)

Young Clan Chief For All Eternity (Part Eleven)

Plebeians:


谢谢您祭司大人……

Xièxiè nín jìsī dàrén……

Thank you, Your Lordship High Priest!



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


章轩,你说,我们祭司,只是安抚……

Zhāng xuān, nǐ shuō, wǒmen jìsī, zhǐshì ānfǔ……

ZhāngXuān, you say that the purpose of Priests is to comfort the people.

这样有意义吗……

Zhèyàng yǒu yìyì ma……

How is that meaningful?



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


上有神明,下应万物。

Shàng yǒu shénmíng, xià yīng wànwù.

With Heaven above, all creation below will be answered.


少掌门,你所做的事,绝对不是没有意义的。

Shǎo zhǎng mén, nǐ suǒ zuò de shì, juéduì bùshì méiyǒu yìyì de.

Young Clan Chief, what you do is definitely not meaningless.



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


我不想让他肩上的担子更重,

Wǒ bùxiǎng ràng tā jiān shàng de dàn zǐ gēng zhòng,

I don't want him to shoulder even more responsibilities,


所有会让他劳心的事我全部都代他做了。

Suǒyǒu huì ràng tā láoxīn de shì wǒ quánbù dōu dài tā zuòle.

therefore I completed all of the wearisome tasks for him.


或许就是从那时起,我的轨道开始偏离,

Huòxǔ jiùshì cóng nà shí qǐ, wǒ de guǐdào kāishǐ piānlí,

Maybe this is when I started to go off track.


同时,我忽视了一个情窦初开的少女那些微妙的心思……

Tóngshí, wǒ hūshìle yīgè qíngdòuchūkāi de shàonǚ nàxiē wéimiào de xīnsī……

At the same time, I overlooked the awakenings of first love in a young lady, those tender feelings ...


寺芸这个姑娘很聪明,天资与少掌门不分伯仲。

Sì yún zhège gūniáng hěn cōngmíng, tiānzī yǔ shǎo zhǎng mén bù fēn bózhòng.

SìYún is a very intelligent girl, as equally gifted as the Young Clan Chief.



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


也许上天唯一对她不公平的就是,她是个女孩子。

Yěxǔ shàngtiān wéiyī duì tā bù gōngpíng de jiùshì, tā shìgè nǚ háizi.

Heaven was unfair to her in only one thing, being born a girl.


如果她将来也做了祭司,生存的时间只会比少掌门更短。

Rúguǒ tā jiānglái yě zuòle jìsī, shēngcún de shíjiān zhǐ huì bǐ shǎo zhǎng mén gèng duǎn.

If she also becomes a Priest, then her life will be even shorter than the Young Clan Chief's.


但她的确非常有领导的才能,想着少掌门之后,她也终会需要用到这些,

Dàn tā díquè fēicháng yǒu lǐngdǎo de cáinéng, xiǎngzhe shǎo zhǎng mén zhīhòu, tā yě zhōng huì xūyào yòng dào zhèxiē,

She truly has great leadership skills and will in time develop those abilities,


所以我偶尔会故意将一些做掌门的经验传授于她。

Suǒyǐ wǒ ǒu'ěr huì gùyì jiāng yīxiē zuò zhǎng mén de jīngyàn chuánshòu yú tā.

so I would purposely, once in a while, allocate some tasks of the Clan Chief to her.


只是,我没想到,一个女性的占有欲,和她的骄傲,

Zhǐshì, wǒ méi xiǎngdào, yīgè nǚxìng de zhànyǒu yù, hé tā de jiāo'ào,

But I never anticipated that her possessiveness and pride


会让她不顾一切来换取注意。

Huì ràng tā bùgù yīqiè lái huànqǔ zhùyì.

will make her recklessly exchange anything for attention.



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


甚至……

Shènzhì……

Even


伤害她西环的人——

Shānghài tā xī huán de rén—

hurting the person she loves —



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


原来寺芸从那时侯就开始怀疑跟踪章轩了啊,她倒真是蛮警觉的。

Yuánlái sì yún cóng nà shí hóu jiù kāishǐ huáiyí gēnzōng zhāng xuān le a, tā dào zhēnshi mán jǐngjué de.

So SìYún was already suspicious of ZhāngXuān and started spying on him. She's very vigilant.



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


女孩子对自己在意的人关注起来会致入微到可怕的程度。

Nǚ háizi duì zìjǐ zàiyì de rén guānzhù qǐlái huì zhì rùwēi dào kěpà de chéngdù.

When it comes to the person she likes, a girl can be observant of details so miniscule it is truly terrifying.



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


那是,你有秦诗瑶前车之鉴了。

Nà shì, nǐ yǒu qínshīyáo qiánchēzhījiànle.

Speaking from personal experience with Qín ShīYáo?


那狗仔的……

Nà gǒuzǎi de……

She's the paparazzi ...


话说寺芸看上章轩这事你一点也不惊讶啊?

Huàshuō sì yún kàn shàng zhāng xuān zhè shì nǐ yīdiǎn yě bù jīngyà a?

Aren't you at all surprised about SìYún liking ZhāngXuān?



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


这有什么奇怪,章轩当年在女性中比我受欢迎多了。

Zhè yǒu shé me qíguài, zhāng xuān dāngnián zài nǚxìng zhòng bǐ wǒ shòu huānyíng duōle.

That's not surprising at all, unlike me, ZhāngXuān was really popular with the girls.



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


啊,那倒是,你这家伙无趣的很。

A, nà dǎoshì, nǐ zhè jiāhuo wúqù de hěn.

Yes, that's right, you're quite dull.



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


不管到哪章轩都会陪着我对吗?

Bùguǎn dào nǎ zhāng xuān dūhuì péizhe wǒ duì ma?

You'll stay by my side wherever I go?



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少掌门不止一次的问过我这话,

Shǎo zhǎng mén bùzhǐ yīcì de wènguò wǒ zhè huà,

It isn't the first time he's asked me this,


他是多么怕失去重要的人啊,

Tā shì duōme pà shīqù zhòngyào de rén a,

he's so afraid of losing people close to him.


这个失去父母,甚至拿命也换不来家人一丝关爱的少年……

Zhège shīqù fùmǔ, shènzhì ná mìng yě huàn bù lái jiārén yīsī guān'ài de shàonián……

This orphaned youth, who cannot even exchange his very life for an iota of love ...



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


只要章轩陪在我身边,我就什么也不怕!

Zhǐyào zhāng xuān péi zài wǒ shēnbiān, wǒ jiù shénme yě bùpà!

As long as ZhāngXuān is by my side, I'm not afraid of anything!



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


少掌门…… 如果可以,

Shǎo zhǎng mén…… rúguǒ kěyǐ,

Young Clan Chief ... if it is possible,


我是真的想一直一直陪着你……

Wǒ shì zhēn de xiǎng yīzhí yīzhí péizhe nǐ……

I really do want to be by your side forever and ever ...


直到永远……

Zhídào yǒngyuǎn……

For all eternity ...


可我终究……

Kě wǒ zhōngjiù……

But in the end I ...


“永远”……

“Yǒngyuǎn”……

"Eternity" ...


是一个多么奢侈的词,

Shì yīgè duōme shēchǐ de cí,

It's such an exorbitant word.



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


你是阳冥司……

Nǐ shì yáng míng sī……

You are a YángMíngSī ...


我想在这世上,要永远陪着一个阳冥司,

Wǒ xiǎng zài zhè shìshàng, yào yǒngyuǎn péizhe yīgè yáng míng sī,

If I want to remain by the side of a YángMíngSī,


就只有

Jiù zhǐyǒu

the only way is


【成为灵鬼】

[Chéngwéi líng guǐ]

to become a ghost


【舍弃生命】

[Shěqì shēngmìng]

relinquish my life



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


成为你的影灵——

Chéngwéi nǐ de yǐng líng—

and be your Shadow Spirit —



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


说起来…… 算算你以前到底说过多少次不要影灵啊?

Shuō qǐlái…… Suàn suàn nǐ yǐqián dàodǐ shuōguò duōshǎo cì bùyào yǐng líng a?

How many times did you say you didn't want a Shadow Spirit?


现在打脸疼不疼?

Xiànzài dǎ liǎn téng bù téng?

Will it hurt if I slap your face?



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


认识你之前,我都不知道自己是这么没原则的人……

Rènshí nǐ zhīqián, wǒ dū bù zhīdào zìjǐ shì zhème méi yuánzé de rén……

Before I met you, I didn't realize that I'm so two-faced ...


一直以来,我都不想要任何人来做我的影灵。

Yīzhí yǐlái, wǒ dū bùxiǎng yào rènhé rén lái zuò wǒ de yǐng líng.

All this time, I have never wanted anyone to be my Shadow Spirit.


敬华,即使现在,我仍然不希望你是我的影灵。

Jìng huá, jíshǐ xiànzài, wǒ réngrán bù xīwàng nǐ shì wǒ de yǐng líng.

JìngHuá, even now I don't want you to be my Shadow Spirit.



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


靠你几个意思啊?

Kào nǐ jǐ gè yìsi a?

F*ck, that's two-tongued!


别以为哥是纯爷们人家的心就不会痛的啊~

Bié yǐwéi gē shì chún yémen rénjiā de xīn jiù bù huì tòng de a ~

Although I'm a man's man, my heart still hurts!



端木熙 DuānMù Xī:


敬华…… 如果可能……

Jìng huá…… Rúguǒ kěnéng……

JìngHuá ... if it is possible ...


我更希望,

Wǒ gèng xīwàng,

I would rather


你活着……

Nǐ huózhe……

you be alive


跟我在一起。

Gēn wǒ zài yīqǐ.

and stay by my side.



杨敬华 Yáng JìngHuá:


不带这么突然告白的,

Bù dài zhème túrán gàobái de,

Such a sudden confession!


人家虽然死了但小心脏还是很脆弱受不了这种刺激的。

Rénjiā suīrán sǐle dàn xiǎo xīnzàng háishì hěn cuìruò shòu bùliǎo zhè zhǒng cìjī de.

I may be dead but my little heart is delicate and cannot withstand this much excitement.


这家伙怎么从进来黄泉之镜后对我态度180°大转变了?

Zhè jiāhuo zěnme cóng jìnlái huángquán zhī jìng hòu duì wǒ tàidù 180°dà zhuǎnbiànle?

Ever since entering the Yellow Springs* Mirror, he's done a 180 and changed his attitude towards me.


以前有这么坦诚直接吗……???

Yǐqián yǒu zhème tǎnchéng zhíjiē ma……???

Has he ever been so direct and openhearted ... ???


[*Translation Note: 黄泉 huángquán "Yellow Springs" is the underworld in Chinese mythology. It is similar to hell or Hades.]



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


也许,从那个时候开始我就走上了不归路,

Yěxǔ, cóng nàgè shíhòu kāishǐ wǒ jiù zǒu shàng liǎo bù guī lù,

Perhaps, that was the moment I started on the road of no return.


但是我却已经开始无法把少掌门仅仅当一个任务对象去对待了,

Dànshì wǒ què yǐjīng kāishǐ wúfǎ bǎ shǎo zhǎng mén jǐnjǐn dāng yīgè rènwù duìxiàng qù duìdàile,

I could no longer treat the Young Clan Chief as a merely an assignment.


我不该对阳冥司有个人私情的,

Wǒ bù gāi duì yáng míng sī yǒu gèrén sī qíng de,

I shouldn't have any personal feelings towards a YángMíngSī.


他是那么天真,纯洁,无私,任何一个人,看见这样的他,

Tā shì nàme tiānzhēn, chúnjié, wúsī, rènhé yīgè rén, kànjiàn zhèyàng de tā,

He's so innocent, pure, and selfless, anyone who meets him


如果真的了解他,都会想去好好爱护,不是吗……

Rúguǒ zhēn de liǎojiě tā, dūhuì xiǎng qù hǎohǎo àihù, bùshì ma……

and really gets to know him, will want to cherish and protect him. Isn't it so?



神龙章轩 ShénLóng ZhāngXuān:


我一想到,也许数年之后,当他卸任,我就功成身退,

Wǒ yī xiǎngdào, yěxǔ shù nián zhīhòu, dāng tā xièrèn, wǒ jiù gōng chéng shēn tuì,

After several years, when he steps down as YángMíngSī, I will retire


那时候我会离开端木家,

Nà shíhòu wǒ huì líkāi duānmù jiā,

and leave the DuānMù family.


再往后,就只能对着少掌门的这缕头发睹物思人了,

Zài wǎng hòu, jiù zhǐ néng duìzhe shǎo zhǎng mén de zhè lǚ tóufǎ dǔ wù sī rénle,

Then I will have nothing but a lock of his hair as a memento.


阳冥司在世界短短十数载,

Yáng míng sī zài shìjiè duǎn duǎn shí shù zǎi,

A YángMíngSī is only in this world for a short ten plus years,


我想留下,哪怕他身上的一点东西也好……

Wǒ xiǎng liú xià, nǎpà tā shēnshang de yīdiǎn dōngxī yě hǎo……

I want to keep a little bit of him to remember him by ...
