原文

After deliberation, Eva decided to run away with her pack in the night, when Jean has her nightmares.

She packed all her stuff, including some food, bottles of water, and money.

The money was her pocket money. Because she was an orphan, she couldn’t get pocket money from her parents. So Charles gave her some every month. She never used them, because she had a feeling they would become of use one day.

She was right. Now, she had about - three thousand? But it was nothing compared to what Charles Xavier owned.

That night. She ran and ran, knowing that Jean would never know, but still running, running, running until her legs felt like fire smoldering, slowly corrupting them to the bone, but she still dragged them along with her senseless wooden feet, dragging, dragging, dragging with a heavy load, like rocks piled up, getting heavier, heavier, heavier every second.

In the end she had to stop on the side of the road, under a huge tree.

The bits and pieces of moonlight, sieved through the leaves, stuck to her coat like snowflakes.

She rarely looked up to the sky after her mother’s death. She thought the sky had collapsed then. So what’s the point of looking up at the sky when you know it was not there any more? No point, no point at all.

Now she found meaning in life again, to stay alive, reach Genosha, and find a new life, without Jean, without supremacy, without racism, and without TR*MP, because it is a free nation.

“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” = “MAKE WHITES DOMINATE AGAIN”

She looked up at the sky, for the first time in 11 years.

The sky was pitch black, like ink splashed across the sky. There were few stars, all faint and feeble.

Her mom used to tell Eva about her youth.

There were many stars then, like pieces on a chessboard, each with its own place, own work, and own purpose. After a day’s work, she used to go in the backyard of their little house with her sister, pick some edible roses, and enjoy the whole night, talking, laughing, picking fruit off trees.

Oh, how romantic was the vanished past!

But, after 30 years, the world changed permanently. Eva wondered, if her mother went back to the little house, would she still recognize the place? That place was destroyed years ago. Now, it was only a hideous barren of reinforced concrete.

Her sister committed suicide too.

The stars were gone, because of pollution, along with Eva’s mother’s own purposes. Her only bright star was Eva, brighter than any stars of her childhood, brighter even than Sirius.

Now she was gone, too.

译文

经过深思熟虑，Eva决定趁Jean做噩梦的时候，带着她的包在夜里逃跑。

 

她把所有的东西都打包好了，包括一些食物、好几瓶瓶装水和钱。

 

这些钱是她的零用钱。因为她是个孤儿，她从父母那里拿不到零用钱。所以Charles每个月都给她一些。她从来没有用过它们，因为她觉得它们总有一天会有用的。

 

她是对的。现在，她大概有-三千？但与Charles Xavier拥有的相比，这根本算不上什么。

 

那天晚上。她跑啊跑，知道Jean永远不会知道，但还是跑啊跑啊，跑啊跑啊，一直跑到腿都觉得像火在烧，慢慢腐蚀到骨头，但她还是拖着麻木的脚，拖着，拖着，拖着沉重的包袱，像堆起来的石头一样，越来越重，越来越重。

 

最后，她不得不停在路边的一棵大树下。

 

点点滴滴的月光穿过树叶，像雪花一样沾在她的外套上。

 

她母亲去世后，她很少抬头仰望天空。她认为那时天塌了。那么，当你知道天空不复存在时，抬头仰望天空有什么意义呢？没有意义，没有意义。

 

现在她又找到了生活的意义，活下去，到达Genosha，找到一个没有Jean，没有霸权，没有种族主义，没有TR*MP的生活，因为那是一个自由的国度。

 

“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”=“MAKE WHITES DOMINATE AGAIN”

 

她11年来第一次仰望天空。

 

天空一片漆黑，像被墨水泼过般。几乎没有星星，有的都是微弱的。

 

她妈妈过去常告诉Eva她年轻时候的故事.。

 

那时有许多星星，就像棋盘上的棋子，每一颗都有自己的位置、工作和目的。一天的工作结束后，她常常和妹妹一起去他们小房子的后院，摘一些可食用的玫瑰，然后整夜享受，有说有笑，从树上摘水果的时光。

 

哦，逝去的过去是多么浪漫啊！

 

但是，30年后，世界发生了永久性的变化。Eva想知道，如果她妈妈回到小房子里，她还能认出那个地方吗？那地方几年前就被摧毁了。现在，它只是一个狰狞的钢筋混凝土之荒芜。

 

她的妹妹也自杀了。

 

因为污染: 星星，和Eva母亲的目的，都死了。它们死后Eva的母亲唯一明亮的星星就是Eva，比她童年时代的任何星星都要璀璨，甚至比天狼星还要璀璨。

 

现在她也走了。
