經典科幻文學:《基本上無害 Mostly Harmless》第25章3
‘Random,’ said Trillian quietly from up on the stairs.
“蘭登。”樓梯上的崔莉恩靜靜地叫了一聲。
‘Shut up!’ shouted Random. ‘You abandoned me!’
“閉嘴！”蘭登吼道，“你先拋棄我的！”
‘Random, it is very important that you listen to me and understand,’ persisted Trillian quietly. ‘There isn’t very much time. We must leave. We must all leave.’
“蘭登，你得聽我好好說，這很重要。”崔莉恩平靜地堅持道，“沒多少時間了，我們必須離開。我們都必須離開。”
‘What are you talking about? We’re always leaving!’ She had both hands on the gun now, and both were shaking. There was no one in particular she was pointing it at. She was just pointing it at the world in general.
“你在說什麼？我們總是在離開！”現在她用兩隻手握住了槍，兩隻手都在抖。她並沒有特別地瞄準某個人，她瞄準的是整個世界。
‘Listen,’ said Trillian again. ‘I left you because I went to cover a war for the network. It was extremely dangerous. At least, I thought it was going to be. I arrived and the war had suddenly ceased to happen. There was a time anomaly and… listen! Please listen! A reconnaissance battleship had failed to turn up, the rest of the fleet was scattered in some farcical disarray. It’s happening all the time now.’
“聽着，”崔莉恩又說起來，“我離開你是爲了給新聞網報道一場戰爭，那裏太危險，至少我是這麼想的。等我到了那兒，戰爭突然卻不發生了。是一次時間異常……聽着。拜託你聽我說！一艘偵查艦出現，艦隊裏的其他飛船亂成了一鍋粥，現在這種事兒越來越多了。”
‘I don’t care! I don’t want to hear about your bloody job!’ shouted Random. ‘I want a home! I want to fit somewhere!’
“我纔不管！我不想聽你說你那該死的工作！”蘭登吼道，“我想要個家！我想屬於某個地方！”
