I'm not wishing for something grandiose. But I don't want to succumb to this reality where I can't even fulfill one hundredth of the desire that a human being can have.
我并没有什么奢望,但人类所能拥有的欲望的百分之一我也满足不了,我不想在这种现实面前屈服。

- We got stuck with someone who has no idea where he wants to go like an aimless bullet.
- Maybe you're right. I might be an aimless bullet made by the Creator. I don't know where I should go to.
- 总是有这种像误发弹一样的客人,连自己要去哪里都不知道
- 是啊,你说得对,我也许就是造物主的误发弹,当真是无处可去。

On the battlefield, we destroyed every obstacle that our enemy put in front of us with these guns. We killed our enemies who were after our lives, and then we marched on. But we couldn't bring down the wall of fate that divided us, not with the gun.
无论面对什么阻碍,凡是能挡住我们去路的,枪炮都能摧毁,凡是能夺去我们生命的,枪炮都能干掉,然后我们继续前进,可如果挡在面前的是命运,子弹是打不穿的。

He doesn't want to leave behind any trace of him in this shitty world. A young man who's seen more blood in life than an old soldier. Maybe what torments him more is not that, but loneliness.
在这个肮脏的世界上,他不想留下任何痕迹,就像是残兵败将一样,浑身流淌着生活的血,折磨他的不是别的,而是孤独。

I feel as if I am the only one standing in this vast place, and the feeling gets worse at night.
晚上,尤其是在晚上,总感觉我独自伫立在…一片广袤的原野上。

Life is nothing better than ten hwan in the dirty hand of a little child, then how much you have will determine how much of life you get to see. The problem is that you can't quit your life after seeing it depending on the money you have in your pocket.
人生就像是胡同里的小屁孩,拿着十圆钱看西洋镜,手里的钱越多,看到的画面也越多,人生过得是好是坏,就看你口袋里钱财是多是少。

That's where the tragedy lies. That we have to keep on living this life. Is there a law that says we shouldn't leave here and live inside a bigger fence?
悲剧的源头就在于,哪怕是这种日子也得过下去,为什么我们不配拥有更广阔的天地?

I've been everywhere like a dog looking for work for the past two years since finishing the army. With the spirit and courage I learned in the military, I was undaunted and ready to hunt for a bear. That was how I put my foot back in society. But I felt sorry for myself at the prospect of fighting with such a strong bear. So I gave that up. Then, I went for a boar that was not as strong as a bear. Still, I wasn't strong enough. A deer was too fast. If I could fly, maybe I could've caught a pheasant at least. So I came up with the best idea ever! A rabbit! They are common enough. So I went to get myself a rabbit,but there were more hunters than rabbits out there.
我退伍两年,像条长毛狗一样,到处找工作,年轻时留下的气魄,还有军队里磨练出来的勇气,想凭着这两点,勇敢地猎熊,就这样重新回到了社会,但要和熊一样厉害的家伙较量还远远不够,只好自怜自哀,噙着眼泪回来了,接下来,我就去找没那么厉害的野猪,果然,力量还是不够,想和獐子一决高下,对方又太敏捷了,我要是能飞就好了,起码能抓到一只野鸡,所以我想到了别的法子,对了! 是兔子,兔子!那种随处可见的兔子,我决定给自己弄只兔子,但那里的猎人比兔子还多。
