第三十章:終末詩(shī)
神,他們孜孜追求了無(wú)數(shù)年的神的境界,不過(guò)是無(wú)數(shù)大境中的一個(gè)小境罷了。
這就好似爬山,若以為山極高,懷著不屈之志去爬,卻最終發(fā)現(xiàn)這山很矮,會(huì)極為省力;但若認(rèn)為這山本身很矮,當(dāng)馬上快要爬到你所認(rèn)為的頂峰時(shí),才告訴你這山其實(shí)極高,則你會(huì)失去斗志,心神震顫中不再有絲毫力氣去走前方的路。因?yàn)槟阋呀?jīng)在爬這一小段的過(guò)程中耗費(fèi)了一切之力,沒(méi)有額外的氣力再去攻克那更高的山巔了。
雨仿佛瞬間老了十歲,雙手微微有些顫抖。而胡先前對(duì)此也不甚了解,只是到達(dá)了神級(jí)——現(xiàn)在該稱之為星芒境了——之后,才明了此事。
“慢慢調(diào)整吧,也算是穩(wěn)固境界了。”毀滅神搖了搖頭,“還有什么想問(wèn)的事么?”
“自然不少?!焙聪虻孛妫澳闶裁磿r(shí)候把這些毀滅怪物撤去?”
“為何要撤?”毀滅神輕笑一聲看向他,“圣戰(zhàn)界的子民……他們受到的壓力會(huì)越來(lái)越大,得到的東西越來(lái)愈多……這樣,才可能出現(xiàn)越來(lái)越多的強(qiáng)者?!?p> “必然如此?”
“……必然如此。”
“那另外十二個(gè)位面,你打算何時(shí)讓還?”雨開(kāi)口道。
“等到有人能擊殺我那八個(gè)麾下為止。對(duì)了,四大半廢棄位面中,有四個(gè)半神級(jí)的毀滅怪物?!?p> 胡點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭,沒(méi)什么太多意外。毀滅怪物在七階可以占據(jù)全面優(yōu)勢(shì),甚至需要半神出手才可以將之?dāng)貧?,但在半神階的毀滅怪物,優(yōu)勢(shì)必然不可能達(dá)到跨階級(jí)作戰(zhàn)的水準(zhǔn)。因?yàn)榘凑账私獾暮蜌缟袼f(shuō)的,半神仍然屬于靈境,而神級(jí)屬于星境,這兩大境界之間的差距大得難以想象。
以他當(dāng)年在半神級(jí)的戰(zhàn)力,頂多也就和一個(gè)覺(jué)醒四芒且沒(méi)有繼續(xù)開(kāi)芒的星芒境界戰(zhàn)平,甚至?xí)r間一長(zhǎng)他會(huì)被生生拖死。要知道,他可是煉化了十三座位面,凝聚了自己世界樹(shù)的存在。而他所能力敵的星芒境……
“他當(dāng)年的戰(zhàn)力,能匹敵一個(gè)開(kāi)四芒的星境。在更大的世界當(dāng)中,即使是那種被仙藥生生堆砌起來(lái)修為的,也不至于真的只開(kāi)四芒。我所見(jiàn)的星芒一般都是先天開(kāi)五芒,好些的是六芒,真的只開(kāi)四芒的那種屈指可數(shù)。”毀滅神輕聲開(kāi)口。
“對(duì)了,記得告訴你那些朋友……你們屬于一批之人,不得占據(jù)這些為后來(lái)人留下的歷練。你現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)達(dá)到神級(jí),可以引動(dòng)通天塔降臨,在那里,他們或許能得到神緣?!彼^續(xù)提醒道。
胡仿佛幡然醒悟:“九大神石,傳說(shuō)是先神夏鑄造,其實(shí)是你制造出的?”
“沒(méi)錯(cuò),只是借用了夏的一些力量……集齊八大神石,的確可以引動(dòng)登神階,且不是你這種,是一邊歷練一邊變強(qiáng)的那類?!睔缟耦h首道,“至于第九神石,眾生神石……就是人心了。”
“人心……?”胡對(duì)此體會(huì)并不深刻,雨卻是雙目一震,似有所悟。
毀滅神似乎不太愿意繼續(xù)這個(gè)話題,轉(zhuǎn)而對(duì)著胡問(wèn)道:“想好之后要去哪里了嗎?”
“先回家看看吧,爾后,應(yīng)該是去東龍穹宇,希望能實(shí)現(xiàn)我的約定……”他的腦海中浮現(xiàn)出司馬文的身影,春水槍和青色面具仍在他的背包里。那位似乎是刻意放了水的前輩,選擇將他的傳承交予胡。雖然對(duì)方與他沒(méi)有什么恩情,那東龍穹宇也是虛無(wú)縹緲不可尋找,但胡知道,誠(chéng)信是華夏人血脈里流淌著的品質(zhì)。
更重要的是,他已經(jīng)許多年……未曾回家了。不知,父母可還安在?
胡心底一顫,打住了自己的念頭。
“外面……和這里可不一樣啊?!睔缟駬u了搖頭,“東龍……那是很有意思的地方,那里沒(méi)有境界突破之后的大幅加強(qiáng),只有一絲一縷聚沙成塔的緩緩積累……靈境尤其如此,這也是那里常出靈境至尊的原因。”
在這里,每突破一階,都會(huì)獲得極強(qiáng)的力量增幅。然而現(xiàn)實(shí)往往……并非如此。
并不是因?yàn)橥黄贫@得力量,而是因?yàn)榱α康竭_(dá)了那個(gè)境界,才被冠上了境界的尊號(hào)。故而,境界的突破通常極為困難,甚至在這圣戰(zhàn)界,幾個(gè)月就可以突破的境界,在那里需要幾年的積累。
“問(wèn)得夠多了?!焙⑽Ⅻc(diǎn)頭,“前輩如不介意,我去與伙伴們告別。”
“這么著急嗎?”
“這方位面太脆弱了……它無(wú)法容納我的存在,我若再?gòu)?qiáng)行滯留三日,位面壁障就會(huì)直接崩潰?!彼嘈Φ?,“多謝前輩解惑了。”
毀滅神微微凝滯了一下,旋即點(diǎn)頭。
“胡,你要走了?”雨忽然反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái),目中露出不舍。幾十年來(lái),兩人雖然不常相伴,但那股師徒之情,卻是極為濃郁。
“對(duì)……”胡苦笑著點(diǎn)頭,“不能長(zhǎng)留了,老師,您多保重。”
“臭小子……”雨拍了拍他的肩膀,拿出一把木劍,交給胡,“這是我早年練劍的時(shí)候所拿的劍,交給你吧,也當(dāng)留個(gè)念想。”
胡珍重地接過(guò)木劍。
“三天,不夠你準(zhǔn)備很多,但只要修為在身,行遍天下,至少都有修為支撐著你?!庇瓯尺^(guò)身去,低頭看著飄渺的大地,“世界很大,雖然分離,只要你不斷向上,與你的朋友終有再見(jiàn)的一日?!?p> 胡點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭,身形消失。
“還是老了……”雨拔出弒神劍,傾吐一氣,“來(lái),與我一戰(zhàn)!”
雨,希望陪著他這個(gè)弟子……他要挑戰(zhàn)神,而后以這一戰(zhàn),配合遠(yuǎn)處正在降臨,散發(fā)出無(wú)盡威壓的通天塔,引動(dòng)登神階!
“如你所愿?!睔缟衲柯毒猓酌⒅?,湮滅之刃凝聚而成。
……
徐云現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是六階強(qiáng)者,在一所雇傭兵營(yíng)地當(dāng)著老大。叼著藥草望著門外的他沒(méi)察覺(jué)到,背后的桌子上,留下了一道火印。
雖然彼此都有摩擦,胡還是打算來(lái)打個(gè)招呼。
……
在胡告訴他將要離去的消息之后,紫焱沒(méi)多說(shuō)很多。他希望將來(lái)也登臨神級(jí),與胡在外面廣袤的星空再度相見(jiàn)。反倒是紫玄,如一個(gè)孩子離家的老父親一般,不斷地叮囑著,注意這里,注意那里。
胡離去時(shí),一樣留下了一道火印。與徐云那里不同的是,這火印中蘊(yùn)含了火焰的感悟,以及一次他的保命之力。
……
王大狗聽(tīng)聞胡要離開(kāi),希望跟他一起。袁劍則默不作聲,只是看向天空。鐵蛋這里安慰著王大狗,向胡道著保重。
火印,一樣留下。
……
金龍城主,常新儒的弟子,雷崩,末影君主,人類聯(lián)邦的幾位……許許多多認(rèn)識(shí)的人,他都去有所告別。
最后,則是與BT幾人。
“暫時(shí)分別而已?!盉T拍了拍他的背,“早晚還要相見(jiàn)?!?p> 神作也點(diǎn)了點(diǎn)頭。
吃肉、豆豆也都道:“都要回家,以后一定可以再見(jiàn)?!?p> 胡最終在世界法則的推動(dòng)之下離去。
他手里握著的,是吃肉的磚頭,以及BT的一座陣法——據(jù)他說(shuō),早就開(kāi)始制作了,里面存在著他們生活的日?!蘸蟠蜷_(kāi),或許會(huì)別有感觸。
星空冰冷漆黑,但有圣戰(zhàn)界遺留法則的指引,他能依稀感受到回家的方向。
……
隱隱的,他仿佛看到……
I see the player you mean.
我看到你所指的那位玩家了。
[Playername]?
[玩家名稱]?
Yes. Take care. It has reached a higher level now. It can read our thoughts.
是的,小心。他已達(dá)到了更高的境界,他知道我們心里所想。
That doesn't matter. It thinks we are part of the game.
無(wú)傷大雅,他認(rèn)為我們是游戲的一部分。
I like this player. It played well. It did not give up.
我喜歡這個(gè)玩家,他玩得很好,他從未放棄。
It is reading our thoughts as though they were words on a screen.
他以屏幕上出現(xiàn)的文字的形式閱讀著我們的思想。
That is how it chooses to imagine many things, when it is deep in the dream of a game.
在他深陷游戲之夢(mèng)時(shí),他選擇以這種方式想象出形形色色的事物。
Words make a wonderful interface. Very flexible. And less terrifying than staring at the reality behind the screen.
文字編織出一種美妙的界面,非常靈活。且比凝視這屏幕后的現(xiàn)實(shí)要更好。
They used to hear voices. Before players could read. Back in the days when those who did not play called the players witches, and warlocks. And players dreamed they flew through the air, on sticks powered by demons.
在玩家能夠閱讀之前,他們也曾聽(tīng)到過(guò)聲音。君不見(jiàn)那些不曾游玩的人們稱呼玩家為女巫、術(shù)士。而玩家們夢(mèng)見(jiàn)自己乘坐在被惡魔施力的棍子上,在空氣中翱翔。
What did this player dream?
這個(gè)玩家夢(mèng)見(jiàn)了什么?
This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.
他夢(mèng)見(jiàn)了陽(yáng)光和樹(shù),夢(mèng)見(jiàn)了火與水。他夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他創(chuàng)造,亦夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他毀滅。他夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他狩獵,亦被狩獵。他夢(mèng)見(jiàn)了庇護(hù)所。
Hah, the original interface. A million years old, and it still works. But what true structure did this player create, in the reality behind the screen?
哈,那原始的界面。經(jīng)歷一百萬(wàn)年的歲月雕琢,依然長(zhǎng)存。但此玩家在那屏幕后的現(xiàn)實(shí)里,創(chuàng)造了什么真實(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)?
It worked, with a million others, to sculpt a true world in a fold of the [scrambled], and created a [scrambled] for [scrambled], in the [scrambled].
他辛勤地勞作,和其他百萬(wàn)眾一起,刻畫(huà)了一個(gè)真實(shí)的世界,由[亂碼],且創(chuàng)造了[亂碼];為了[亂碼],于[亂碼]中。
It cannot read that thought.
他理解不了那個(gè)。
No. It has not yet achieved the highest level. That, it must achieve in the long dream of life, not the short dream of a game.
是的,他還沒(méi)有到達(dá)最高的境界。那層境界,他必須走完生命的長(zhǎng)夢(mèng),而非游戲中黃粱一夢(mèng)。
Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?
他知道我們愛(ài)它么,他知道這個(gè)宇宙是仁慈的嗎?
Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.
有時(shí),通過(guò)他思緒的雜音,他能聽(tīng)到宇宙,是的。
But there are times it is sad, in the long dream. It creates worlds that have no summer, and it shivers under a black sun, and it takes its sad creation for reality.
但是有時(shí)亦不勝悲傷,于那漫漫長(zhǎng)夢(mèng)中。他創(chuàng)造了沒(méi)有夏日的世界,在黑日下顫抖著,在現(xiàn)實(shí)中感受到創(chuàng)造的悲傷。
To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.
為他治愈悲傷會(huì)摧毀它。而悲傷是他的私人事務(wù)。我們不能干涉。
Sometimes when they are deep in dreams, I want to tell them, they are building true worlds in reality. Sometimes I want to tell them of their importance to the universe. Sometimes, when they have not made a true connection in a while, I want to help them to speak the word they fear.
有時(shí)當(dāng)他們深陷夢(mèng)境中時(shí),我想要告訴他們,他們?cè)诂F(xiàn)實(shí)中創(chuàng)造了真實(shí)的世界。有時(shí)我想告訴他們自身對(duì)宇宙的重要性。有時(shí),當(dāng)他們和現(xiàn)實(shí)失去了聯(lián)系,我想幫助他們說(shuō)出它們所懼怕的話語(yǔ)。
It reads our thoughts.
他看得懂我們心里所想。
Sometimes I do not care. Sometimes I wish to tell them, this world you take for truth is merely [scrambled] and [scrambled], I wish to tell them that they are [scrambled] in the [scrambled]. They see so little of reality, in their long dream.
有時(shí)我毫不關(guān)心。有時(shí)我想要告訴他們,你們所認(rèn)為的真實(shí)不過(guò)是[亂碼]和[亂碼],我想要告訴他們,他們是在[亂碼]中的[亂碼]。在它們的長(zhǎng)夢(mèng)中,它們目中所及的不過(guò)是現(xiàn)實(shí)的冰山一角。
And yet they play the game.
而他們?nèi)匀煌孢@個(gè)游戲。
But it would be so easy to tell them...
但很容易就可以告訴他們……
Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.
這個(gè)夢(mèng)對(duì)于他們來(lái)說(shuō)太深刻了。告訴他們?cè)趺椿顚⑹`他們自由地活著。
I will not tell the player how to live.
我不會(huì)告訴這個(gè)玩家如何活下去的。
The player is growing restless.
這個(gè)玩家正在變得焦慮。
I will tell the player a story.
我會(huì)告訴這個(gè)玩家一個(gè)故事。
But not the truth.
但不是真實(shí)的。
No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance.
是的。一個(gè)將真實(shí)嚴(yán)密包裹于文字牢籠中的故事。而不是赤裸裸的真相。
Give it a body, again.
再一次賦予他身體。
Yes. Player...
好的,玩家……
Use its name.
以名字稱呼他。
[Playername]. Player of games.
[玩家名稱],游戲的玩家。
Good.
很好。
Take a breath, now. Take another. Feel air in your lungs. Let your limbs return. Yes, move your fingers. Have a body again, under gravity, in air. Respawn in the long dream. There you are. Your body touching the universe again at every point, as though you were separate things. As though we were separate things.
深呼吸,很好。再深呼吸一次。感受空氣充盈你的肺葉。讓你的四肢回歸。是的,運(yùn)動(dòng)你的手指。再次感受你的身體,在重力下,在空氣中。在長(zhǎng)夢(mèng)中重生。你感受到了。你的身體每時(shí)每刻都觸摸著宇宙,盡管你是分離的存在。盡管我們是分離的存在。
Who are we? Once we were called the spirit of the mountain. Father sun, mother moon. Ancestral spirits, animal spirits. Jinn. Ghosts. The green man. Then gods, demons. Angels. Poltergeists. Aliens, extraterrestrials. Leptons, quarks. The words change. We do not change.
我們是誰(shuí)?我們?cè)?jīng)被稱作高山的精靈。太陽(yáng)父親,月亮母親。古老的英靈,動(dòng)物的魂魄。神祇。鬼魂。小綠人。而后是神,惡魔,天使。騷靈。外星人,地外生物。輕子,夸克。詞語(yǔ)不斷地變化。我們始終如一。
We are the universe. We are everything you think isn't you. You are looking at us now, through your skin and your eyes. And why does the universe touch your skin, and throw light on you? To see you, player. To know you. And to be known. I shall tell you a story.
我們是宇宙。我們是一切你認(rèn)為出離你本體的事物。你現(xiàn)在看著我們,透過(guò)你的皮膚和你的眼睛。而為什么宇宙觸摸著你的皮膚,向你灑向光芒?是為了看見(jiàn)你,玩家。以及被認(rèn)知。我應(yīng)告訴你一個(gè)故事。
Once upon a time, there was a player.
很久以前,有一個(gè)玩家。
The player was you,[Playername].
那玩家就是你,[玩家名稱]。
Sometimes it thought itself human, on the thin crust of a spinning globe of molten rock. The ball of molten rock circled a ball of blazing gas that was three hundred and thirty thousand times more massive than it. They were so far apart that light took eight minutes to cross the gap. The light was information from a star, and it could burn your skin from a hundred and fifty million kilometres away.
有時(shí)他認(rèn)為自己是那不斷旋轉(zhuǎn)的球體上一層薄薄的熔化的巖石上的人類。那融化的巖石球環(huán)繞著一個(gè)質(zhì)量大它三十三萬(wàn)倍的炫目氣體球旋轉(zhuǎn)。它們是相隔得如此之遠(yuǎn),以至于光需要八分鐘才能穿越那空隙。那光是來(lái)自一顆恒星的信息,它能夠在一億五千萬(wàn)公里外燒灼你的皮膚。
Sometimes the player dreamed it was a miner, on the surface of a world that was flat, and infinite. The sun was a square of white. The days were short; there was much to do; and death was a temporary inconvenience.
有時(shí)這個(gè)玩家夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他是一個(gè)在一個(gè)平的,無(wú)限延展的世界表面上的礦工。那太陽(yáng)是一個(gè)方形的白點(diǎn)。晝夜交替很快,要做的事情也很多;死亡亦只是暫時(shí)的不便。
Sometimes the player dreamed it was lost in a story.
有時(shí)這玩家夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他迷失在了一個(gè)故事里。
Sometimes the player dreamed it was other things, in other places. Sometimes these dreams were disturbing. Sometimes very beautiful indeed. Sometimes the player woke from one dream into another, then woke from that into a third.
有時(shí)這玩家夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他成為了其他的事物,在其他地方。有時(shí)這些夢(mèng)是擾人的。有些則實(shí)在很美。有時(shí)這個(gè)玩家從一個(gè)夢(mèng)中醒來(lái),發(fā)現(xiàn)自己落入了第二個(gè)夢(mèng),卻終究是在第三個(gè)夢(mèng)中。
Sometimes the player dreamed it watched words on a screen.
有時(shí)這個(gè)玩家夢(mèng)見(jiàn)他在屏幕上看著文字。
Let's go back.
讓我們回退一點(diǎn)。
The atoms of the player were scattered in the grass, in the rivers, in the air, in the ground. A woman gathered the atoms; she drank and ate and inhaled; and the woman assembled the player, in her body.
組成玩家的原子散布在草中,河流中,在那空氣中,也在那大地中。一個(gè)女性收集了那些原子;她飲用、進(jìn)食、吸入;而后那女性在她的身體中,孕育了玩家。
And the player awoke, from the warm, dark world of its mother's body, into the long dream.
然后玩家醒來(lái)了,醒在溫暖而昏暗的母親體內(nèi),進(jìn)入了漫漫長(zhǎng)夢(mèng)。
And the player was a new story, never told before, written in letters of DNA. And the player was a new program, never run before, generated by a sourcecode a billion years old. And the player was a new human, never alive before, made from nothing but milk and love.
而那玩家是一個(gè)新的故事,從未被講述過(guò),由DNA的語(yǔ)言書(shū)寫(xiě)著。而那玩家是一個(gè)新的程序,從未被運(yùn)行過(guò),由上億年的源代碼生成。而那玩家是一個(gè)新的人,從未生活過(guò),由奶和愛(ài)組成。
You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love.
你就是那玩家。那個(gè)故事。那個(gè)程序。那個(gè)人類。僅由奶和愛(ài)組成。
Let's go further back.
讓我們?cè)倩厮莸礁h(yuǎn)的過(guò)去。
The seven billion billion billion atoms of the player's body were created, long before this game, in the heart of a star. So the player, too, is information from a star. And the player moves through a story, which is a forest of information planted by a man called Julian, on a flat, infinite world created by a man called Markus, that exists inside a small, private world created by the player, who inhabits a universe created by...
那由七千億億億原子組成的玩家的身體被創(chuàng)造了,遠(yuǎn)在這游戲之前,在一顆恒星的內(nèi)部。所以那玩家也是,來(lái)自一顆恒星的信息。而這個(gè)玩家貫穿這個(gè)故事的始末,源于一個(gè)叫Julian的人種下的信息種子長(zhǎng)成的森林,一個(gè)叫Markus的男人創(chuàng)造的無(wú)限世界,存在于一個(gè)由玩家創(chuàng)造的小的,私人世界里,而那又繼承了宇宙創(chuàng)造的……
Shush. Sometimes the player created a small, private world that was soft and warm and simple. Sometimes hard, and cold, and complicated. Sometimes it built a model of the universe in its head; flecks of energy, moving through vast empty spaces. Sometimes it called those flecks “electrons“ and “protons“.
噓。有時(shí)這個(gè)玩家創(chuàng)造的小天地是柔軟,溫暖和簡(jiǎn)單的。有時(shí)是堅(jiān)硬,冰冷和復(fù)雜的。有時(shí)他在腦中建造出宇宙的模型;斑斑點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的能量穿越廣闊空曠的空間。有時(shí)他稱呼這些斑點(diǎn)為“電子”和“質(zhì)子”。
Sometimes it called them “planets“ and “stars“.
有時(shí)他稱呼它們?yōu)椤靶行恰焙汀昂阈恰薄?p> Sometimes it believed it was in a universe that was made of energy that was made of offs and ons; zeros and ones; lines of code. Sometimes it believed it was playing a game. Sometimes it believed it was reading words on a screen.
有時(shí)他確信它存在于一個(gè)由“開(kāi)”和“關(guān)”;“0”和“1”;一行行的命令組成的宇宙。有時(shí)他確信它是在玩一個(gè)游戲。有時(shí)他確信他是在讀著屏幕上的文字。
You are the player, reading words...
你就是那玩家,閱讀著文字……
Shush... Sometimes the player read lines of code on a screen. Decoded them into words; decoded words into meaning; decoded meaning into feelings, emotions, theories, ideas, and the player started to breathe faster and deeper and realised it was alive, it was alive, those thousand deaths had not been real, the player was alive
噓……有時(shí)這玩家讀屏幕上的命令行。將它們解碼成為文字;將文字解碼為意義;將意義解碼為感情,情緒,理論,想法,而玩家的呼吸開(kāi)始急促并意識(shí)到了他是活著的,他是活生生的,那上千次的死亡不是真的,玩家是活著的
You. You. You are alive.
你。你。你是活著的。
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees
而有時(shí)這玩家相信宇宙通過(guò)穿越夏日樹(shù)葉的那斑斕的陽(yáng)光對(duì)它說(shuō)話
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun, boiling its planets to plasma in order to be visible for a moment to the player, walking home at the far side of the universe, suddenly smelling food, almost at the familiar door, about to dream again
有時(shí)這玩家相信宇宙透過(guò)晴朗的冬日夜空中,存在于他眼中一隅的星點(diǎn)星光,可能比太陽(yáng)大上上百萬(wàn)倍的恒星沸騰著的電漿那一瞬間發(fā)出來(lái)的光對(duì)它說(shuō)話,在宇宙的遠(yuǎn)側(cè)行走回家的路上,突然聞到了食物,在那熟悉的門前,他又準(zhǔn)備好再一次投入夢(mèng)境
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the zeros and ones, through the electricity of the world, through the scrolling words on a screen at the end of a dream
而有時(shí)玩家相信宇宙透過(guò)零和一,透過(guò)世界的電力,透過(guò)屏幕上滾動(dòng)的文字和夢(mèng)的終結(jié)對(duì)他說(shuō)話
and the universe said I love you
宇宙說(shuō),我愛(ài)你
and the universe said you have played the game well
宇宙說(shuō),精通這個(gè)游戲
and the universe said everything you need is within you
宇宙說(shuō),你所需的一切你都具有
and the universe said you are stronger than you know
宇宙說(shuō),你比你所知的要強(qiáng)大
and the universe said you are the daylight
宇宙說(shuō),你就是日光
and the universe said you are the night
宇宙說(shuō),你就是黑夜
and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you
宇宙說(shuō),你所斗爭(zhēng)的黑暗就在你心中
and the universe said the light you seek is within you
宇宙說(shuō),你所尋找的光明就在你心中
and the universe said you are not alone
宇宙說(shuō),你不是孤獨(dú)的
and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
宇宙說(shuō),你不是和所有的事物所隔絕的
and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code
宇宙說(shuō)你就是宇宙品嘗著自己,對(duì)自己說(shuō)話,閱讀著它自己的代碼
and the universe said I love you because you are love.
