point-blank range近距離直射

I just took off. It's like, kids run away... they don't think about where they're going to stay... how they're going to eat, all these things. They had that roof over their head all their lives. They don't really think about those things... till you get out there and you say, "My stomach's growling now." Or, "It's getting cold out here. It's raining."

我就這麼跑了。 你想，孩子離家出走…… 根本不會想自己要去哪兒落腳…… 怎麼填飽肚子，這些一概不想。 他們從小到大頭頂上一直有片瓦。 這些事他們真不會去想…… 直到你流落在外，才說：「我肚子現在餓得直叫。」 或者：「外頭越來越冷，還下著雨。」

I got a call at my house about 3:30 one morning. One of the patrolmen in my department called... and said, "We just arrested this boy named David Harris... "and he won't even tell us his name. He said he wants to talk to you." They told me something that really made me interested. He'd been shot. David had initially told me that he had gone to a bar in Houston... and was flirting with a young lady and her boyfriend became upset... and chased him out with a pistol, shooting at him. We knew that wasn't true. I said, "David, I know you're lying to me. "We go through this all the time, all my dealings with you in the past. "I don't know what you've done just yet. "I know you were shot. "I know you were shot doing something that you shouldn't have been... "we know you burglarized a gun shop. We know you were driving drunk. "Got witnesses who can identify you, who can identify your truck." I said, "You're caught. So tell the truth." And David said, "Okay, I killed him." Their home was entered while he and his girlfriend were there alone. The man was sent into the bathroom at gunpoint and told to stay there. David took the girl and was starting to leave. The man exited the apartment with a gun. The man fell to the ground, or near the ground... holding onto a pole there in the parking lot of the apartment complex... and these last, whether it be two, three, or how many shots... I don't know, were fired at point-blank or near point-blank range. David thought that the one that was really at fault that night... was the guy that got killed. He said, "That guy's crazy. "He came after me with a gun." I told him, "David, you'd broken into his house... "you abducted his girlfriend, what was he supposed to do?" He said, "Man shouldn't come out with a gun. "That dude's crazy. He should have been killed." When we went to retrieve the pistol... I had to go into the water to get it. It was a bayou and it was grassy, snaky-looking area. I was not real pleased about being there myself... but David enjoyed watching me have to go down there and look for the gun. I'd been searching several minutes, he was up on the bridge... and probably 25 feet from me... directing me to where he thought that the gun had landed in the water. He was handcuffed. Traffic would come by, and he would turn around... and show them his handcuffs and holler at them, "Help me! "The officials will throw me in this water and drown me." Just anything he could do to make a joke and cut up out there. He was just really having a good time.

有天凌晨三點半左右，我家裡電話響了。 我部門裡一個巡警打來的…… 他說：「我們剛抓了個叫戴維·哈里斯的男孩…… 「他連名字都不肯說。他說想跟你談。」 有件事讓我頓時來了興趣：他中過槍。 戴維一開始跟我說，他去了休斯敦一家酒吧…… 跟一個年輕姑娘搭訕，她男朋友火了…… 拿槍把他追出去，還朝他開槍。 我們知道那不是真的。 我說：「戴維，我知道你在騙我。 「咱們打過的交道里，這種事回回都這樣。 「你幹了什麼我還不清楚。 「但我知道你中了槍。 「我知道你是在幹不該乾的事時中的槍…… 「我們知道你撬了槍店，還酒駕。 「有證人認得你，也認得你的卡車。」 我說：「你跑不掉了，說實話吧。」 戴維就說：「好吧，是我殺了他。」 他和他女朋友獨自在家時，有人闖了進去。 那人被槍逼著進了浴室，叫他不許出來。 戴維帶著那姑娘正要走。 那男人拿著槍衝出了公寓。 那男人倒在地上，或者說快倒地了…… 抓著公寓樓停車場裡的一根柱子…… 最後那幾槍，是兩槍、三槍還是多少槍…… 我也說不準，反正都是抵近、甚至貼著身子開的槍。 戴維覺得那天晚上真正有錯的…… 是被打死的那個人。他說：「那傢伙瘋了。 「他拿著槍追我。」 我跟他說：「戴維，你闖進他家…… 「還劫走了他女朋友，你說他能怎麼辦？」 他說：「他就不該拿著槍出來。 「那傢伙瘋了，他活該被打死。」 我們去打撈那把槍的時候…… 我得下水去撈。 那是條河汊，長滿水草，看著就有蛇。 我自己也很不樂意待在那地方…… 可戴維看我不得不下去找槍，看得挺樂。 我找了好幾分鐘，他站在橋上…… 離我大概二十五英尺…… 指揮我到他認為槍落水的位置去。 他手上戴著手銬。 有車經過，他就轉過身…… 把手銬亮給人家看，衝他們喊：「救救我！ 「這幫當官的要把我扔進水裡淹死！」 怎麼逗樂、怎麼耍寶，他什麼都幹得出來。 他玩得可開心了。
