残忍而美丽的情谊:The Kite Runner 追风筝的人(50)  

Assef waved a dismissive hand. "Bakhshida. Fiven. It's done.?His voice dropped a little. "Of course
nothing is free in this world
and my pardon es with a small price."
"That's fair
" Kamal said.
"Nothing is free
" Wali added.
"没有什么是免费的。"瓦里加上一句。
"You're a lucky Hazara
" Assef said
taking a step toward Hassan. "Because today
it's only going to cost you that blue kite. A fair deal
boys
isn't it?"
"More than fair
" Kamal said.
Even from where I was standing
I could see the fear creeping into Hassan's eyes
but he shook his head. "Amir agha won the tournament and I ran this kite for him. I ran it fairly. This is his kite."
"A loyal Hazara. Loyal as a dog
" Assef said. Kamal's laugh was a shrill
nervous sound.
"忠心的哈扎拉人，像狗一样忠心。"阿塞夫说。卡莫发出一阵战栗、紧张的笑声。
"But before you sacrifice yourself for him
think about this:
Would he do the same for you? Have you ever wondered why he never includes you in games when he has guests? Why he only plays with you when no one else is around? I'll tell you why
Hazara. Because to him
you're nothing but an ugly pet. Something he can play with when he's bored
something he can kick when he's angry. Don't ever fool yourself and think you're something more."
"Amir agha and I are friends
" Hassan said. He looked flushed.
"Friends?" Assef said
laughing. "You pathetic fool! Someday you'll wake up from your little fantasy and learn just how good of a friend he is. Now
bas! Enough of this. Give us that kite."
Hassan stooped and picked up a rock.
Assef flinched. He began to take a step back
stopped. "Last chance
Hazara."
Hassan's answer was to cock the arm that held the rock.
"Whatever you wish." Assef unbuttoned his winter coat
took it off
folded it slowly and deliberately. He placed it against the wall.
I opened my mouth
almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn't. I just watched. Paralyzed.
