"I only beg you not to be a bandit anymore and to start a new life with me."

难点解析
- 弹槽滚儿……枪管……：此处出现了对应的英语单词本身比较常见，但使用了其较为生僻的意思。分别译为“magazine”、 “breech”。
- 俺不认命……你命不好……可一想你命这般苦……俺也是个苦命的人啊……：短短一段文字，出现了四次“命”，带有浓厚的中国文化特色。因为英语中没有相应的词语和相同的文化概念，故只能采用释译的方法，单独处理。“俺不认命”译为“I wont accept what fate decides anymore．”，“你命不好”译为“You were born with a bad life．”， “可一想你命这般苦”译为“when I thought of your miserable life”，“俺也是个苦命的人啊”译为“I also have had a bad life．”。
- 呆呆地：这里表示“出神地”、 “茫然地”、 “毫无表情地”，故译为“blankly”。
- 她不知为什么眼里就闪出了泪花儿：地道的英语表达习惯多用物作主语，原文中的“为什么”可以理解为“神秘地”、 “不知道原因地”，故整句可译为“tears mysteriously welling up her eyes”。
