He went back to his exercises; the old man kept watching.Finally, tired and angry at this wasted day, a prisoner in his room, Ender went back to his bed to get his desk.As he leaned over to pick up the desk, he felt a hand jab roughly between his thighs and another hand grab hishair. In a moment he had been turned upside down. His face and shoulders were being pressed into the floor bythe old man's knee, while his back was excruciatingly bent and his legs were pinioned by the old man's arm.Ender was helpless to use his arms, he couldn't bend his back to gain slack so he could use his legs. In less thantwo seconds the old man had completely defeated Ender Wiggin."All right," Ender gasped. "You win."The man's knee thrust painfully downward. "Since when," asked the man, his voice soft and rasping, "do youhave to tell the enemy when be has won?"Ender remained silent."I surprised you once, Ender Wiggin. Why didn't you destroy tne immediately afterward? Just because I lookedpeaceful? You turned your back on me. Stupid. You have learned nothing. You have never had a teacher."Ender was angry now, and made no attempt to control or conceal it. "I've had too many teachers, how was Isupposed to know you'd turn out to be a--""Au enemy, Ender Wiggin," whispered the old man. "I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who wassmarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will ever tell you what the enemy isgoing tu do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows youwhere you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the only rules of the game are what youcan do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on I amyour teacher."第 275 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
