饥饿游戏Chapter1「正文」第二章(4)

负责抽签人选的国会官员Effie Trinket 要求群众为Katniss鼓掌，但他们保持沉默。这是群众让这个官员知道，他们不赞成收割的方式

Then Effie draws the District 12 boy"s name, it is Peeta Mellark. Katniss is upset with the pick, because she feels she owes him for a kindness he showed her five years ago. After her father was killed, her mother retreated into her own world. Instead of getting a job to support her children, she became immovable and unresponsive.
Prim and Katniss began to go hungry. Katniss tried to keep Prim neat and presentable, because if the Peacekeepers found out they were not being cared for, then they would put Katniss and Prim into the community home.
然后 Effie抽出了12区一个名字叫 Peeta Mellark男孩的名字。Katniss 对这个抽签很不满，因为她觉得自己欠他一个人情，因为他五年前就对她很好。自从Katniss父亲死后，母亲陷入了自我的世界里，母亲没有找到一份工作来养活孩子，而是变得无动于衷，麻木不仁。Prim和Katniss开始挨饿。Katniss试图让Prim穿的干净，显得体面，因为如果维和人员发现她们没有得到照顾，他们就会把Katniss和Prim送到社区家【类似孤儿院】
