narrow streets of cobble stone.行走在鹅卵石铺就的狭窄街道上.
'neath the halo of a street lamp.头顶上街灯的光晕将我笼罩.”
鲜血从他的嘴里不断向外流,血红的蟑螂疑惑的看着这个人类,它不知道为什么他还不放手,难道他不知道自己可是伟大的蟑螂吗?这个弱小的人类怎么认为自己能抵抗它的利爪?而且这个脆弱的人类已经奄奄一息,为什么他手臂还这么有力量。
“晚……上……好……”
“i turned my collar to the cold and damp.我翻起衣领以抗御此夜的寒冷及潮湿.
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light.当我的眼睛被霓虹灯的闪烁刺痛时.
that split the night.也划破了夜空.
and touched the sound of silence.打破了黑夜的沉静.”
那把长枪刺穿蟑螂的心脏,长枪穿过它的身体,坚固的甲壳瞬间褪去了,它的眼中分明带着泪。它的身体不由自主的失去了控制,但它依旧张开双臂,想要拥抱这位眼前的朋友。
“and in the nak*ed light i saw.在无遮灯照耀下我看到-
ten thousand people, maybe more.数以万记的人,或许更多.
people talking without speaking.有的人在说着无聊的话语.
people hearing without listening.有的人在漫不经心的听着别人说.
people writing songs that voices never share.有的人在写着那些从不会被传唱的歌.”
他压制着冲进骨髓的愤怒,缓缓将它的尸体放在了地上。那杆长枪消失了,那枚牙齿深深刺进了它的心脏之中。它化为灰烬,被微风吹走,他低着头,不知道在想些什么。
“and no one dared.但没有人敢于去-
disturb the sound of silence.打破这份静默.
"fools" said i "you do not know."我说道:"愚蠢的人啊,你们不知道"
"silence like a cancer grows."静默会像癌细胞那样扩散.
"hear my words that i might teach you."听我的话,我才能教导你.
"take my arms that i might reach you."抓紧我的手,我才能救你.”
他像一具僵尸一样缓慢迈开了脚步,身体就像一架木偶一样,他抬起头,看着天空,看着天空那轮血月,血月逐渐下落了,太阳要出来了,新的一天要开始了。他孤单一个人站在原地,就像从远古开始就是这样。
“啊——”
那声怒吼,传遍了树林的每一个角落。
“but my words like silent rain-drops fell.但是我的话却如寂静无声的雨点落下.
and echoed in the wells of silence.徒然回响在沉静的天井中.
and the people bowed and prayed.人们仍然顶礼膜拜着.
to the neon god they made.自己塑造的霓虹灯神像.
and the sign flashed out its warning.霓虹灯突然闪烁出警兆.
in the words that it was forming.警告的语句渐渐成型.
and the sign said "the words of the prophets.预兆显示:先知的预言
are written on the subway walls and tenement halls".都被写在地铁的墙上及出租公寓的走廊上.
and whispered in the sounds of silence.这告诫也在无声的静默中被轻声传送.”
