1. I imagine standing in a gas station on Claiborne and Jackson waiting to pay the cashier when a black man walks up behind me.
    于是我转过身，既愤怒又恐惧，还未及细想就开了枪。我也许只是因为五十或一百美元就杀了一个人。

2. I do not turn around. I stare ahead waiting to pay. I try not to reveal I feel anxiety just because a black man has walked up behind me in a gas station in a bad neighborhood and he does not have a car.
    他曾试图抢劫我，可这一点并不重要。一个人因为钱而死，不一定是我的钱或者是他的钱，就是钱。是谁给他的生命如此标价的呢？

3. Fires burned, houses fell, gas pipes burst, and dark smoke rose from the streets.
    大火在熊熊燃烧, 房屋在倒塌, 煤气管道在爆裂，街道上升起了浓浓的黑烟。
