Vasudeva nodded; over his friendly face ran the light of the stove's fire.

瓦苏戴瓦点点头；炉火的光芒照在他友善的脸上。

I don't know if I was speeding so much as I ran the light.

我不知道我是否超速了，因为我闯了灯。

Well, it's not that they don't understand that they could get in trouble for sneaking out at night or that they could get in trouble for running the light, but that the rewards of that are much more powerful.

好吧，并不是说他们不明白晚上偷偷溜出去可能会遇到麻烦， 或者闯灯可能会遇到麻烦，但这样做的回报要强大得多。
