Tyrianraised the head, the one-eyedis staring at the presentconfidential secretarystubbornly, the whole faceis„yourTMteasesme” the expression.提瑞安抬起头,独眼死死盯着眼前的机要秘书,满脸都是“你TM在逗我”的表情。Cold Seabiggestbigpirate , when has shownthisshockexpressionfacing the biological father.冷冽海最大的大海盗,也就只有在面对亲爹的时候露出过这种震惊至极的表情。Hehas not touchedthatseveralpages of papers that the opposite partypushes, butafterwas returning to normalslightly a moodturned the headto look atoppositeGeneralLister.
他没有碰对方推过来的那几页纸,而是在稍微平复了一下情绪之后转头看了对面的李斯特将军一眼。ThisGeneralCold Frostinlookstunnedas ifnotcompared withoneselffew.
这位寒霜将军眼神中的错愕似乎也不比自己这边少。„This was really unexpectednews ’,”Tyrianshouted the toneevidently‚gently, saidcalmly,„Ithis ‚ general’do not knowthisarrangementat present.”
“看样子这真是个‘意外消息’,”提瑞安轻轻呼了口气,语气平静地说道,“连我眼前这位‘将军’都不知道这份安排。”„Becausethisnot‚arrangement’——thisis only a suggestion, moreoversuggestion that justtook,”confidential secretaryheldunder the owngold-rimmed eyeglasses, a facelooks atTyrianto sayseriously,„at present the Cold Frostsituationis complex, ourtoomuchtimeeachmatterhad not discussed that appropriatecarry outagain, thereforeIwill suggestsimply‚’attainsheredirectly, under the testimony of GeneralLister, wediscussed the feasibility of thismattertogether.”
“因为这并非什么‘安排’——这只是一个建议,而且是刚拿出来的建议,”机要秘书扶了下自己的金丝眼镜,一脸郑重地看着提瑞安说道,“目前寒霜情况复杂,我们并没太多时间将每一件事情都商量妥当再去执行,所以我索性将‘建议’直接拿到这里,在李斯特将军的见证下,我们一同讨论这件事的可行性。”„Feasibility? Youactuallyreallythought that thisdoes have the feasibility?”Tyrianalmostsmilesto make noise, helooked that seems looking at a lunaticto the look of thatconfidential secretary, „I, the leader of Sea Mistfleet, onCold Sea the most ferociouspiratechief, yourCold Frostpersonfrightened various terrifyinglegends of childalmost—— that reorganizesfrommeyouto tellmeover the past about 50 yearsnow, youhope that Iwork asMagistrate of thiscity...... the mister, wejustfought side-by-side, you relationsamongusfeared that has misunderstood?”
“可行性？你们竟然真觉得这有可行性？”提瑞安差点笑出声,他看向那位机要秘书的眼神仿佛在看一个疯子,“我,海雾舰队的领导者,冷冽海上最穷凶极恶的海盗头子,你们寒霜人过去50年来吓唬小孩子的各种恐怖传说差不多都是从我身上改编出去的——现在伱告诉我,你们希望我来当这座城市的执政官……先生,我们只不过并肩作战了一下而已,你对我们双方之间的关系怕是有所误会吧？”„Fights side-by-side, andresistedtogethercaused the crisis that City-Statedestroyedsufficiently, nowmanypeopleknow that was the Sea Mistfleetstoodat the final moment, defended the citywith the navytogether, butattomorrow'sthis time, thisnewswill transmitCold Frosteachcorner, the city hallwill tellpeople——Sea Mistfleetdeparturehalf a century agois only a routedifference, butSteel General that left angrilyactuallyneverput downto defend the City-Stateresponsibilitythoroughly.”
“并肩作战,并共同抵御了足以导致城邦毁灭的危机,现在许多人都知道是海雾舰队在最后时刻站了出来,与海军一同保卫了城市,而在明天这个时候,这个消息会传递到寒霜每个角落,市政厅会告诉人们——海雾舰队在半个世纪前的离去只是一次路线分歧,而愤然离去的钢铁中将其实从未彻底放下保卫城邦的职责。”
The confidential secretarystoppedat this point, the meaning of afterconfirmingTyriannot having brokencontinues saying: „Allthingscanhave the newexplanation, alltransformationswill be arrangedon the appropriatereason, youmaythink that thistransformationregarding the Cold Frostpersonis not acceptable, butin fact...... overwhelming majorityaverage peoplewhenfacingendurance , and propaganda of solecaliberis not easyto maintain‚first thought’, the realimprovement of calmness and steadinessandorder of lifewill crushallquickly, the concept of personcanby‚having custom-made’, butrequirestime.”
机要秘书说到这里停顿了一下,在确认提瑞安没有打断的意思之后才继续说道:“所有事情都可以有新的解释,所有转变都会被安排上恰如其分的理由,您或许会认为这种转变对于寒霜人而言是不可接受的,但事实上……绝大部分普通人在面对持续性且单一口径的宣传时并没那么容易保持‘初心’,生活的安稳和秩序的切实改善会很快压倒一切,人的观念是可以被‘定制’的,只是需要一点时间而已。”Tyrianlistens toall thesepatiently, the expressionis gazing at the eyes of confidential secretarytranquilly: „It seems likeyouexcel atthismattervery much.”提瑞安耐心听完这一切,表情平静地注视着机要秘书的眼睛:“看来你们很擅长这种事。”„EachCity-Stateexcels at——includingqueenyearsCold Frost,”confidential secretaryis unemotional, „ moldsoneset of adaptationcurrentsocial environmentfor the people, andcanmakemost peoplelighten the psychological burden‚concept’not be a dirtymatter, after speaking the fine words , is not only not actually able the maintenance of social orderandis unable to guarantee that most people'scalm and steadylifeis.
“每一座城邦都擅长——包括女王时代的寒霜,”机要秘书面无表情,“为民众塑造出一套适应当前社会环境且能够令大部分人减轻心理负担的‘观念’并不是一件肮脏的事情,说完漂亮话之后却既无法维持社会秩序又无法确保大部分人的安稳生活才是。„TyrianCaptain, the responsibility of city hallis the responsibility of just——city hallisto never letmanylivessavesas far as possible.”
“提瑞安船长,市政厅的职责从来不是正义——市政厅的职责是让尽可能多的人生存下去。”„...... Makesmanylivessaveas far as possible, shehad also spokenthese wordsin the past.”
“……让尽可能多的人生存下去,她当年也说过这句话。”„Yes, in the pastwhatthese wordsalsocarve——nowon the front door of domeofficeweoverthrewis only the queen, is nottheseoriginally the correctthing.”
“是的,这句话现在还刻在圆顶办公室的大门上——我们当年推翻的只是女王,不是那些本就正确的东西。”Tyrianhas not spokensuddenly, hecalmlyis thinking, crossedopened the mouthfor a long timeslowly: „Whyyouthink that Ido suitthisposition?”提瑞安一时间没有说话,他静静地思索着,过了许久才慢慢开口:“你们为什么认为我就适合这个位置？”„At firstis the suggestion that Ms.Agathabrings, butsheonlymentionedyouandyourSea MistfleetcouldhelpCity-Stateresume an order——more furtherdecisionto discussby the city hallinurgentlycomes,”confidential secretarysaid,„to me, Iactuallydid not determine you are a rightcandidate, in factI was still even wary about thismatter, but the viewpoints of others are...... you before one‚pirate’, firstis the Cold FrostCity-Stategeneral, but since thiscityhas had the history, there is1/3monarchyorMagistratefamily backgroundtroops.”
“最初是阿加莎女士带来的建议,但她只提到了您和您的海雾舰队或许可以帮助城邦恢复秩序——更进一步的决定则是由市政厅内部紧急讨论而来的,”机要秘书说道,“就我个人而言,我其实并不确定您到底是不是个合适的人选,事实上我甚至对这件事尚心存疑虑,但其他人的观点是……您在作为一名‘海盗’之前,首先是寒霜城邦的将军,而这座城市自有历史以来,有三分之一的君主或执政官都出身军旅。”„Youthoughtsimply the matter,”Tyrianactuallyshakes the head, „thiswas not the candidate the appropriateissue, butwas a bigpile‚issue left over by history’sum total, even iflikeyousaid that the concept of personcanhave custom-made, butyoustill said that thisneededtime——Cold Frostnot to havethis time, thiscitymustregain the orderas soon as possible, thereforeyouwerein addition......”
“你们还是把事情想得太简单了,”提瑞安却摇了摇头,“这不是人选合适不合适的问题,而是一大堆‘历史遗留问题’的总和,即便就像你说的,人的观念可以被定制,但你也说了,这需要时间——寒霜没这个时间,这座城市必须尽快恢复秩序,所以你们还是另……”„TyrianCaptain,”confidential secretarybrokehimsuddenly, „beforeexplicitrejection, firsthas a look at the thing that Ibring, thismayletyoutothismatter‚feasibility’hassomenewviews.”
“提瑞安船长,”机要秘书突然打断了他,“在明确拒绝之前,还是先看看我带来的东西吧,这或许会让您对这件事的‘可行性’有一些新的看法。”Tyrianwas startled, thiscarefully examined the opposite partyto putthatseveralpages of documents on table for the first time earnestlya moment ago.提瑞安怔了一下,这才第一次认真审视起对方刚才放到桌上的那几页文件。Thesedocumentnotmagnificenttitles and finetitle pages, after turning on the simplefolder, insideis onlysimplewriting, as ifstatedfacta series of„suggestion”.
那些文件没有华丽的标题与精致的封面,打开简单的文件夹之后,里面就只是朴素书写的、仿佛陈述事实般的一系列“建议”。Tyrianswepttwo, the expressionthennaked eyechangedobviously.提瑞安扫了两眼,表情便肉眼可见地发生了变化。Heturnsfastfinally, „”closesit, is on the riseto stare at the presentconfidential secretary.
他飞快翻到最后,“啪”地一声将其合上,抬头盯着眼前的机要秘书。
The latterstillmaintainedwas being calm, beforeTyrianopened the mouththennodsgently.
后者却仍旧保持着一脸平静,在提瑞安开口之前便轻轻点了点头。

“第一,寒霜城邦遭遇的异象灾害是由湮灭教徒引发,但其根源是旧市政厅在过去几十年内对城邦地下深处矿井的不安全开采,在黑暗中没有采取足够的安全措施以及对异常警迅的疏忽甚至隐瞒是导致事态恶化的主要原因。
„ Second, all previousMagistrateknows the circumstances of the mattertothis matter, andbecause ofchoice of interestsconcealment.
“第二,历届执政官对此事知情,并因利益选择了隐瞒。
„ Third, the Sea Mistfleetchoosesto leaveCold Frost50years ago, because of the routedifference, the divergentreasoncontrarymining ’ as well asis relatedto the Visiondisastermatters that mayforeseewiththiskind ‚.
“第三,海雾舰队于五十年前选择离开寒霜,是因路线分歧,分歧原因与此类‘违规开采’以及对可预见的异象灾害的不同态度有关。
„ Fourth, all previousMagistrate conducted to the Sea Mistfleethad the planandlong-enduringdiscrediting, conceals the truth, tocover between both sidestruedifference, andhated the guidance the peopletoGeneralTyrianindividual, thusshifted the people'sconcernovermine pit.
“第四,历届执政官对海雾舰队进行了有计划和持续性的抹黑、隐瞒真相,以掩盖双方之间真正的分歧,并将民众仇恨引导至提瑞安将军个人,从而转移人们对矿井问题的关注。
„ Fifth, MagistrateWinstonexistswith the significantsuspicion that Annihilationistscolludes with, before the Visiondisaster, heobtains the news, has not actually madeanydealseffectively, instead the choicerebels and flees, hewill become the City-Statepublic enemy, webelieve that hehas becomeAnnihilationistscrew, andwill receivealwaysissuing a warrant for arrest of Cold Frost.
“第五,执政官温斯顿存在与湮灭教徒勾结的重大嫌疑,异象灾害发生之前,他已得到消息,却并未做出任何有效应对,反而选择叛逃,他将成为城邦公敌,我们相信他已成为湮灭教徒的一员,并将受到寒霜的永世通缉。„Sixth, newMagistratewill remould the City-Stateorder, the minefield workwill openimmediately, tohavingworld the settlement of responsible people will also startimmediately.”
“第六,新任执政官将对城邦秩序进行重塑,矿山调查工作会立即开启,对尚存人世的责任人员的清算也将立即开始。”Tyrianhas not spoken, butsitsjust like an extremelycoldice sculpture there, is staring at the eyes of confidential secretary, inthatvisionhas the heavy pressure is almost smothery.提瑞安没有说话,只是宛若一座极寒的冰雕般坐在那里,盯着机要秘书的眼睛,那目光中带着的沉重压力几乎让人透不过气。However the confidential secretaryinspiresgently, then the briefcase that carriedfromoneselfalongtook outanotherpile of documents.
然而机要秘书只是轻轻吸了口气,便又从自己随身携带的公文包中取出了另外一摞文件。Thisdocumentis thicker, the contentare more.
这份文件更厚,内容更多。„Thisis the list,”heraised the head, is welcoming the Tyrianseriousgaze, „ the first halfis the evidence that the central clearing houseneeds, keeps the cardincludingmine pitcontraryminingsomerecordsandtoAnomalydanger signalcovers and conducts the instruction that the distortionsmearsto the Sea Mistfleet, some documentscurrentlyonly have the table of contents, but, allevidencewill be in three days prepared.
“这是清单,”他抬起头,迎着提瑞安沉重的注视,“前半部分是清算所需的证据,包括矿井违规开采的部分记录、对异常警讯的掩盖留证以及对海雾舰队进行扭曲丑化的指令,这部分文件目前只有目录,但在三天内,所有证据都会齐备。
„ The lattern half is mainly the list, includingmaybe for the responsible people of seizingandtrial, theycorrespond‚evidence’. Pleaserelax, is not the innocent person, but has charge——howeverdoesn't matter, theirtruecrimesare unimportant, nowCity-Stateneedsthem‚to collude withAnnihilationists’. Thesepeoplecanbecity hall‚criminalstockpiles’.
“后半部分主要是名单,包括可供抓捕和审判的责任人们,还有他们对应的‘罪证’。请放心,不是无辜者,只不过是另有罪名——但是没关系,他们真正的罪行已经不重要,现在城邦需要他们‘勾结湮灭教徒’。这些人可以算是市政厅方面的‘罪犯储备’。„Finally, is the correspondencewithpart of diaries, the evidence that WinstonMagistrateandAnnihilationistscollude with, inpart ofmaterialshashissignature.”
“最后,是书信与一部分日记,温斯顿执政官与湮灭教徒勾结的证据,其中一部分资料上带有他的签名。”Tyrianhas not read the secondpile of documents that the opposite partyhands over.提瑞安没有看对方递过来的第二摞文件。
The coldmistappearsinhissideslowly, on the tea tablegraduallycovered a closeice crystal, the person who in the roomeachcanbreathe, the exhaledgasis congealing the white fog.
寒冷的雾气在他身边慢慢浮现,茶几上逐渐覆盖了一层细密的冰晶,房间中每一个能够呼吸的人,呼出的气体都在凝成白雾。„...... Thesethingsiswhoprepares?”
“……这些东西是谁准备的？”„Successively holdsMagistrate,”confidential secretarysaidcalmly,„eachgovernmentwill prepareone, as well asmany‚alternative plan’, notnecessarilyisgivesyouto prepare, possiblyisothersuccessor, for examplenext‚insurrectionary army’.

“历任执政官,”机要秘书平静说道,“每届政府都会准备一份,以及许多份‘备选方案’,不一定是给您准备的,也可能是别的继任者,比如下一支‘起义军’。您面前的最后一份资料是温斯顿执政官留下的,巧合的是,他正好也把海雾舰队列为了自己的‘备选方案’之一,这与阿加莎女士带来的‘建议’不谋而合。”Tyrianplacesin the handthatdocumentslowly, the closeice crystalalmostfreezes an ice sculpturethatdocument, heraised the head, is staring at the eyes of confidential secretary: „Therefore, thiscangiveWinstonto determine the nature.”提瑞安慢慢将手放在那份文件上,细密的冰晶几乎将那文件冻结成一份冰雕,他抬起头,盯着机要秘书的眼睛:“所以,这就可以给温斯顿定性了。”„Cold Frosthaswords, the deceased personmustallow to pass throughto the living person,”confidential secretarysaidslowly,„GeneralTyrian, youare not the locally bornCold Frostperson, butyoushouldalsounderstandthese wordsvery much. IftoWinstonMagistrateas well asall previouscity hall‚qualitative’canmakeCity-Staterapidlyregain the order, thatthinks that heandsuccessively holdsMagistratenot to mind.”
“寒霜有句话,死人要给活人让路,”机要秘书慢慢说道,“提瑞安将军,您并非土生土长的寒霜人,但您应该也很了解这句话。如果给温斯顿执政官以及历届市政厅的‘定性’可以让城邦快速恢复秩序,那想必他和历任执政官都是不会介意的。”
