She’d survived the Drowned Cities because she wasn’t anything like Mouse. When the bullets started flying and warlords started making examples of peacekeeper collaborators, Mahlia had kept her head down, instead of standing up like Mouse. She’d looked out for herself, first. And because of that, she’d survived.

  • -- Paolo Bacigalupi 保罗·巴奇加卢比

她在被淹没的城市里活了下来,因为她一点也不像老鼠。当子弹开始飞起,军阀们开始为维和部队的合作者们树立榜样时,马莉亚一直保持着低着头的姿态,而不是像老鼠一样站着。她首先要照顾好自己。正因为如此,她活了下来。
