I took this picture of Bobby Henline at a Motel 6 a few miles away from the Houston airport. Earlier that day he'd met the father of Rodney McCandless, a 19-year-old who died in the same humvee explosion in Iraq that injured him.
我在位于休斯頓機場幾英里外的第六汽車旅館拍到波比·亨蘭的這張照片。那天他剛見過羅德尼·麥坎德利斯（Rodney McCandless）的父親，19歲的羅德尼在伊拉克“悍馬”爆炸事故中受傷死去。
It was sweltering. The pool was lit by a soft glow. Bobby got in the water and floated on his back into the light. From the balcony, I hammered at the motor drive of my camera. Every little movement he made seemed significant. A few people staying in the motel drifted to the balcony to drink beer and watch silently. Bobby didn't mind the attention. By becoming a standup comedian, he's taken ownership of his injuries.
那天很熱，游泳池泛著柔和的光。波比仰面迎光躺在游泳池里。我在陽臺上猛按相機快門。他的每一個動作都具有重大意義。一些旅館客人到陽臺上喝啤酒，靜靜地看著。波比不在意被關(guān)注。成為單口喜劇演員后，他已習慣自己處理傷痛。
The desk clerk came out and said she had to lock the gate to the pool at 9. Bobby and I protested that we needed a bit longer to get the picture perfect, but she wasn't interested in being flexible with the rules. A soft rain started falling. We finished up and headed out for a beer.
旅館工作人員來通知我們游泳池9點關(guān)門。波比和我抗議說我們還可以再多呆一會拍出完美的照片，但是她無意為我們改變規(guī)定。溫柔的小雨開始飄落，我們收拾完一起去喝啤酒。
