A One God Universe (Explicit) - William S. Burroughs
以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Consider the impasse of a one God universe.
思量这独一真神宇宙的困境
He is all-knowing and all-powerful.
祂全知全能 至高无上
He can't go anywhere since
却无处可去 因
He is already everywhere.
祂本就无处不在
He can't do anything since
亦无事可为 因
The act of doing presupposes opposition.
任何作为都需对立为前提
His universe is irrevocably thermodynamic
祂的宇宙遵循不可逆的热力学
Having no friction by definition.
从定义上就毫无摩擦
So, He has to create friction:
因此 他必须制造冲突
War, Fear, Sickness, Death,
战争 恐惧 疾病 死亡
To keep his dying show on the road.
只为维持这垂死的表演
Sooner or later,
迟早有一天
"Look boss we don't have
"老大 我们连
Enough energy left to fry an elderly woman
电死一个老妇人的能量都不够了
In a flea bag hotel bar."
在这破旧旅馆的酒吧里"
"Well, we'll have to start faking it."
"看来我们只能开始伪造了"
Joe looks after him sourly
乔阴沉地照看着他
And mixes a bicarbonated soda.
调着一杯碳酸苏打水
"Sure, start faking it.
"当然，开始伪造吧
Sure, and leave the details to Joe."
当然，细节都交给乔处理"
Now look, from a real disaster
看啊，一场真正的灾难
You get a pig of energy:
能榨取大量能量：
Sacrifice, Heroism, Grief, Separation,
牺牲、英勇、悲痛、分离
Fear and Violent Death,
恐惧与暴烈死亡，
And remember one violent death
须知一次暴烈死亡
Yields more energy than a cancer ward.
比整个癌症病房产出更多能量。
So, from a energy surplus
于是，从能量盈余中
You can underwrite the next one.
你就能为下一次灾难买单。
So, from a energy surplus
于是，从能量盈余中
You can underwrite the next one.
你就能为下一次灾难买单。
But the first one's a fake,
但第一次纯属伪造，
You can't underwrite a shithouse!
你无法为这混乱局面担保！
Trying to explain to God Almighty where
试图向全能的上帝解释
His one God universe is going.
他独一神宇宙的走向
The asshole doesn't know what buttons to push
这蠢货不知该按下哪个按钮
Or what happens when you push them!
更不知按下后会发生什么！
Abandon ship, god damn it every man for himself!
弃船逃生吧，该死的各自保命！
Recollect Pope John XXIII saying,
忆起教皇约翰二十三世曾说
"Like a little soldier,
"像个小小士兵"
I stand at attention in the presence of my captains."
我在长官面前肃立致敬
The old army game from here to eternity:
这场永恒的古老军旅游戏
Get there firstest with the brownest nose.
最先抵达者必是最谄媚之人
