His behavior towards Asano, however, remained unchanged.

然而，他对浅野的态度并没有改变。

As Asano's most trusted servant, he was also the one the official feared the most because it was expected of him to seek revenge.

他是浅野最信任的随从，也是Kira最怕的人，因为他最有可能实施报复。

Asano took out a small sword called a wakizashi and attacked the official, but only managed a cut on Kira's face before guards separated them.

于是浅野拿出一把名叫“胁差”的短剑袭击了Kira，但只在Kira的脸上划了一道口子后卫兵就把他俩拉开了。

Although burning with rage, Asano did this, but afterwards Kira continued to mock him, saying that he was a clumsy country boor who did it improperly.

浅野虽然怒不可遏，但还是照做了，但后来Kira继续嘲笑他，说他是一个笨手笨脚的乡下人，连带子都系不好。

Like many of the other retainers who once worked for the Asano clan, they found new professions - some became merchants, others became carpenters, some even posed as monks.

就像许多曾经为浅野家族工作的侍从一样，他们找到了新的职业——有的成了商人，有的成了木匠，有的甚至伪装成了僧侣。

Word even reached a chief daimyo named Matsudaira Aki, a former superior of the Asano clan, who was greatly pleased with the ronin and sent his own guards to ensure their protection on the road to Takanawa.

这个消息甚至传到了浅野家族的前任长官Matsudaira Aki那里，他对这些浪人们非常满意，并派了自己的卫兵在去往高川的路上保护他们。
