终末之诗（3）

It cannot read that thought.

它读不出那个思绪。

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.

不。它还没有到达最高的境界。那层境界，它必须在生命的长梦达到，而非短暂的、游戏中的黄梁一梦。

Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind?

它知道我们爱它么?它知道这个宇宙是仁慈的吗?

Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.

有时，通过它思绪的杂音，它能听到宇宙，是的，它能知道

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.

但是在漫漫长梦之中，亦有不胜悲伤之时。它创造了没有夏日的世界，在黑日下颤抖着，将自己悲哀的创造视为现实世界。

To cure it of sorrow would destroy it. The sorrow is part of its own private task. We cannot interfere.

治愈它的悲伤将会摧毁它。它的悲伤是它的私人事务。我们不能干涉。

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.

有时当它们深陷梦境中时，我想要告诉它们，它们正在现实中创造真实的世界。有时我想告诉它们其自身对宇宙的重要性。有时，当它们一时无法区分梦境与现实，我想帮助它们来说出它们所恐惧的话。

It reads our thoughts.

它读出了我们的思想。

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.

有时我毫不在乎。有时我想要告诉它们，你们所认为的真实不过是[乱码]和[乱码]，我想要告诉它们，它们是在[乱码]中的[乱码]。于它们的长梦中，它们看见的真实太少了。

And yet they play the game.

而它们仍然玩着这个游戏。

But it would be so easy to tell them...

但其实真的很容易就可以告诉它们……

Too strong for this dream. To tell them how to live is to prevent them living.

对于这个梦来说那太强烈了。告诉它们如何活着就是阻止它们的生存。

I will not tell the player how to live.

我不会告诉这个玩家如何生活的。

The player is growing restless.

这个玩家正在变得焦躁。

I will tell the player a story.

我会告诉这个玩家一个故事。

But not the truth.

但不是真相

No. A story that contains the truth safely, in a cage of words. Not the naked truth that can burn over any distance.

不。是一个在文字牢笼中严密包裹着真相的故事。而不是赤裸裸的、一眼即可看穿的真相。

Give it a body, again.

赋予它身体，第二次。
