You are the player. The story. The program. The human. Made from nothing but milk and love.
你就是那玩家。那个故事。那个程序。那个人类。仅由奶和爱组成。
Let's go further back.
我们再往更远的过去回退一点。
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...
那由七千亿亿亿原子组成的玩家的身体被创造了,远在这游戏之前, 在一颗恒星的内部。所以那玩家也是,来自一颗恒星的信息。而这个玩家贯穿这个故事的始末,源于一个叫Julian的人种下的信息种子长成的森林,一个叫 Markus的男人创造的无限世界,存在于一个由玩家创造的小的,私人世界里,而那又继承了宇宙创造的……
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".
嘘。有时这个玩家创造的小天地是柔软,温暖和简单的。有时是坚硬,冰冷和复杂的。有时它在脑中建造出宇宙的模型;斑斑点点的能量穿越广阔空旷的空间。有时它称呼这些斑点为“电子”和“质子”。
Sometimes it called them "planets" and "stars".
有时它称呼它们为“行星”和“恒星”。
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.
有时它确信它存在于一个由“开”和“关”;“0”和“1”;一行行的命令组成的宇宙。有时它确信他是在玩一个游戏。有时它确信他是在读着屏幕上的文字。
You are the player, reading words...
你就是那玩家,阅读着文字……
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
嘘……有时这玩家读屏幕上的命令行。将它们解码成为文字;将文字解码为意义;将意义解码为感情,情绪,理论,想法,而玩家的呼吸开始急促并意识到了它是活着的,它是活生生的,那上千次的死亡不是真的,玩家是活着的。
You. You. You are alive.
你。你。你是活着的。
and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the sunlight that came through the shuffling leaves of the summer trees
而有时这玩家相信宇宙通过穿越夏日树叶的那斑斓的阳光对它说话。
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
有时这玩家相信宇宙透过晴朗的冬日夜空中,存在于它眼中一隅的星点星光,可能比太阳大上上百万倍的恒星沸腾着的电浆那一瞬间发出来的光对它说话,在宇宙的远侧行走回家的路上,突然闻到了食物,在那熟悉的门前,它又准备好再一次投入梦境 。
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
而有时玩家相信宇宙透过零和一,透过世界的电力,透过屏幕上滚动的文字和梦的终结对他说话。
