Undersending and picking up of guard, Dennisis leaning on the walking stick, comes outfrom the train stationslowly, heraised the headthensees the surroundingtall buildings, the giantguidepost and busystream of people, he in same place, arrives atOath Citywithmanyinitially the Orpheusstranger is the same, theyare so incompatiblewiththiscity, likewild animal that goes out of the virgin forest, astrayed the human society.
在护卫的接送下,丹尼斯拄着拐杖,慢悠悠地从火车站里出来,他抬头便看到周围的高楼大厦、巨大的路标、繁忙的人流,他愣在了原地,就和许多初到誓言城・欧泊斯的异乡人一样,他们与这座城市是如此格格不入,如同从原始森林里走出的野兽,误入了人类社会。Dennishas never thought that some daycanreturn to thiscityagain, do not say,thiscityhad the change of suchbigunexpectedly.
丹尼斯从未想过,有朝一日自己能再度回到这座城市里,更不要说,这座城市居然发生了如此之大的变化。„Mister.”
“先生。”
The guardstandsinDennis'sside, asks forthento support by the armhim, Dennisthis/Benwantsto reject, buthisbodyis really hardto support, can only smilepolitely, thank the help of guard.
护卫站在丹尼斯的身边,伸手便要搀扶他,丹尼斯本想拒绝,但他的身体实在难以支撑,只能礼貌地微笑,感谢护卫的帮助。Whenthis time, Denniswill lag behindrealized,oneselfis a 90-year- old person.
每到这时候,丹尼斯才会后知后觉地意识到,自己已经是位90多岁的老人了。„Timereallyflies......”
“时间真快啊……”Dennisis gazing atthiscity, is sighing, remembers when previoustimearrives atthislands, hereisscorched earth of place, fullis the skeleton, the fearsomewarswept acrossthislands, but one of the Denniswarparticipants.
丹尼斯注视着这座城市,不由地感叹着,记得上次来到这片土地时,这里还是一地的焦土,满是尸骸,可怖的战争席卷了这片土地,而丹尼斯正是战争的参与者之一。Untiltoday, Dennisremembersas beforeclearlythesefrigidandfearfulscenes, the suddenlyinstance, just like the illusion, hecanseethesecruentationsagain the remnants of destroyed buildings, maywinkagain the present, reflectspleasantendlessliveliness.
直到今日,丹尼斯依旧清晰地记得那些惨烈而可怕的场景,眨眼的瞬间,犹如幻觉般,他能再度看到那些染血的残垣断壁,可再次眨眼下,映入眼中的只有无尽的繁华。Nowhereno longeris the scene of war, butis a prosperouscity, tall buildings, busycrowd, grotesque and gaudy. Thismadehimfeel a confusedness, as if the timedislocation, as ifhismemory and realitydid not tally.
如今这里已经不再是战争的场景,而是一片繁荣的城市,高楼大厦,繁忙的人群,光怪陆离。这令他感到一阵迷茫,仿佛时间错位了,仿佛他的记忆和现实并不相符。Seeslook that nearbyguardthatconfuses, Dennisansweredat the right moment, „when myprevioustimecame, herehas not calledOath CityOrpheus, withoutthesetall buildings, butwasscorched earthruins of place.”
见一旁护卫那迷惑的眼神,丹尼斯适时地解释道,“我上次来时,这里还不叫誓言城・欧泊斯,更没有这些高楼大厦,而是一地的焦土废墟。”Dennistime of recollectionsdiscussed,„at that timeIwas a youngsoldier, rather thanpresentthisgraduallyoldappearance.”
丹尼斯倍感怀念道,“当时我还是个年轻的士兵,而不是现在这副垂垂老矣的模样。”No onecandeny that Dennis'sold, onhisfacecovered entirely the deepwrinkle, the skinrelaxationwas incapable, the hair has almost fallen offcompletely, was only left overseveralscatteredwhite hair, the eyegets suckedin the tearsbag, seemedveryexhausted, the lipwas split, lacks the vitality/angry.
没人能否认丹尼斯的苍老,他的脸上布满了深深的皱纹,皮肤松弛无力,头发已经几乎全部脱落,仅剩下几根稀稀落落的白发,眼睛深陷在泪袋里,显得非常疲惫,嘴唇干裂,缺乏生气。Dennisold, not only came from passing of time, whatis more importantbeing the warleaves behind the wound.
丹尼斯的苍老不仅来自于时间的流逝,更重要的是战争留下的创伤。Heoncewas a soldier, experiencedmanysoul-stirring combats, after the war, Denniscured the soulwith the time of remaining years of life, butinhismind was still reappearing the intensewar scene, still could not forget the wailingsound of shotandally.
他曾是一名战士,经历了许多惊心动魄的战斗,战争后,丹尼斯用余生的时间来治愈灵魂,可他的脑海里仍然浮现着激烈的战争场面,仍然忘不掉枪炮声和战友的哀嚎声。Moves the stepdifficultly, every timemovesoneinch, Denniscanfeelhiddenone's secret worriesintent that in the bodytransmitsclearly, thatwastogether the old wound, in the pastinwarhewas shakenby a shellbut actually, bodymanywere injured, in the stuporandsoberrepeatedly.
艰难地挪动步伐,每移动一寸,丹尼斯都能清楚地感受到身体里传来的隐隐痛意,那是一道旧伤了,当年在战争中他被一颗炮弹震倒,身体多处受伤,在昏迷与清醒间反反复复。Thatexperiencebecomes the Dennisdeep placecannot erasewound, after the war, Dennislived in seclusion the countryside, has not talked aboutthatexperiencetoothersagain, no longerparticipated in the meeting and activity of relatedarmy.
那段经历成为了丹尼斯内心深处不可磨灭的创伤,战争后,丹尼斯隐居到了乡下,再也没有向别人谈起那段经历,也不再参加有关军队的聚会和活动。ManyandDenniswas togetherdozensyears of friend, was not clear that Dennisoncewas a soldier, do not say that hehas also participated in the Wrath of the Scorched Earthwar, sometimes, Denniswas aboutto forgetthatremembers.
许多和丹尼斯相处了几十年的朋友,都不清楚丹尼斯曾经是一位士兵,更不要说他还参与过焦土之怒的战争,有些时候,丹尼斯自己都快忘记了那段记忆。Until before some time, takesin the pastuntilthesemysteriouspeople, almost the forgottenmaterialfound itself. Denniscannot comprehend the person who oneselfthisdiesquickly, but also is useful.
直到一段时间之前,直到这些神秘人拿着当年的、几乎被人遗忘的资料找到了自己。丹尼斯搞不懂自己这样快死的人,还有什么用。„Do wethenwantto go?”Dennisasked.
“我们接下来要去哪?”丹尼斯问。„Followswellus.”
“跟我们走就好。”
The guardleadsDennisto arrive at the roadside, opens the vehicle door, the glassis lightproof, incar(riage)pitch-dark, makingonefeelanxious.
护卫带着丹尼斯来到路边,拉开车门,车窗并不透光,车内黑漆漆的,令人倍感不安。Dennisseatsin the car(riage), the vehicle doorclosesanddeadlocks, heknows that oneselfdestinycompletelygraspsnowintheseperson of hands, butheis not afraid, heis too old, in the innumerableday and night, hehas been ready, goesfacing the god of death.
丹尼斯坐进车内,车门关上、锁死,他知道自己的命运现在完全掌握在这些人手中了,但他并不害怕,他已经太老了,在数不清的日夜里,他早已做好准备,去面对死神。„Hello, Mr.Dennis.”
“你好,丹尼斯先生。”
The calmsoundresoundsin the darkness, Dennisblinks, the vision of moldlakedistinguishes an outlinein the darknessreluctantly.
沉稳的声音在黑暗里响起,丹尼斯眨了眨眼,模湖的视力勉强地在黑暗里分辨出一个轮廓。„YoucancallmeforYinFan.”
“你可以称呼我为尹凡。”YinFanputs out a hand, gentlyandDennisgraspedinone.
尹凡伸出手,轻轻地和丹尼斯握在了一起。„Excuse me, what do wantto obtainfromhere?” The Dennislookdoes not give way to traffic, the soundis powerful.
“请问,你们想从我这里得到什么呢?”丹尼斯眼神毫不避让,声音有力。„It‘s nothing, butwantsto understand, can the experience that youjoin the army, saywithme? For examplethepartrelated toyourally.”YinFanasked.
“没什么,只是想了解一下,你从军的经历,可以和我讲一讲吗?比如有关你战友的这部分。”尹凡问道。„Thatis not a goodmemory, ifcan......”
“那并不是一段美好的记忆,如果可以……”YinFaninterruptedDennis'swords, „troubledyou, thiswas very important.”
尹凡打断了丹尼斯的话,“麻烦您了,这很重要。”Dennis'svoice, compromised, hesilent, in the muddylookappearedmanypast events, theysuch asillusory imageghostentanglementhismental.
丹尼斯的声音顿了一下,妥协了般,他沉默了下来,浑浊的眼神里浮现起了诸多的往事,它们如幻影幽魂般纠缠着他的心智。Withgradualclear of recollection, the facial features of manymoldlakesalsobecameclear.
随着回忆的逐渐清晰,许多模湖的面容也变得真切了起来。„Pleasegivemeto select the time.”Dennissaidin a soft voice.
“请给我点时间。”丹尼斯轻声道。YinFannodsearnestly, has not saidanything, hecanunderstand that Dennis'smood, recalledsuchpast, was not an easymatter.
尹凡认真地点点头,并没有多说什么,他能理解丹尼斯的心情,回忆那样的过去,并不是一件轻松的事。Dennis'sallies, have left the world for manyyears, compared withDennisthislonglife, the part that the waroccupies are not many, butis some keys that composed the Dennislife, thesewithhimtogetherin the form that in the trenchsways back and forth, carvedhisheart unable to obliterate.
丹尼斯的战友们,都已离世多年了,和丹尼斯这漫长的人生相比,战争占据的部分并不算多,可就是这部分组成了丹尼斯人生的关键,那些与他一起在堑壕里打滚的身影,刻进了他的心底无法磨灭。„Also was really the enoughremotememory.”Dennismuttered.
“还真是够遥远的记忆了。”丹尼斯喃喃道。„From the material, you came from a place of namedChinese larchtown/subdues.”YinFanis guidingDennis.
“从资料来看,你来自一个名为红杉镇的地方。”尹凡引导着丹尼斯。„Chinese larchtown/subdues? Right, thereismyhometown.”
“红杉镇?对,那里是我的家乡。”„But after the warended, youhave not returned to the hometown.”
“可战争结束后,你并没有回到家乡。”„Yes.”
“是的。”„Why?”
“为什么?”In the Dennislookrevealed the ray of difference, heshook the head, „itdisappeared.”
丹尼斯眼神里流露出了异样的光芒,他摇摇头,“它不见了。”„Disappears?”
“不见了?”„Chinese larchtown/subduesis a smallplace, is very fewwith the channel that the outside worldcommunicates, if not the process of caravan, wepossiblydo not know that the outside worldis going to war, thatis a place that can be called the hiddenworld.”
“红杉镇是个小地方,与外界沟通的渠道少之又少,如果不是商队的经过,我们可能都不知道外界正在打仗,那是一个称得上隐世的地方。”Dennistries hardto recalloneselfhometown, butbesidesthatcontinuousgiant tree, hisanythingcould not record.
丹尼斯努力回忆自己的家乡,可除了那连绵不绝的巨木外,他什么也记不起来了。„Onmapdoes not have the mark of Chinese larchtown/subdues, the railroadnot to pass throughthere, the child of leaving home can only returnfollowingoneself, although the warbroughtmanywoundstome, butIstillrememberroad that goes home.”
“地图上没有红杉镇的标记,铁路也不经过那里,离家的孩子只能循着自己返回,虽然战争给我带来了许多创伤,但我仍记得归家的路。”„Did youfindit?”
“你找到了它了吗?”„Found,”Dennis'svoicehigh, was also low and deep, „foundscorched earth.”
“找到了,”丹尼斯的声音高了一下,紧接着又低沉了下去,“找到了一片焦土。”YinFancomplexionchanges.
尹凡脸色微变。„Likesuch that I said that the Chinese larchtown/subdueswas a smallplace, itsbirthno oneknew, itsdestructionalsono oneheard.”
“就像我说的那样,红杉镇是个小地方,它的诞生无人知晓,它的毁灭也无人听闻。”Dennisdoes not have the moodto tell, the woundis numb, hecould not feel the painagain.
丹尼斯毫无情绪地讲述着,伤口已经麻木,他再也感受不到痛苦了。„Ithasextremelyrichforest resources, whenIreturn to the hometown, the Chinese larchforestwas cutlight/only the bigpiece, someare onlybare, inserts the land of fullstump, the familiarsmall townalsoonlyhad the remnants of destroyed buildings, inverycommon the abandonedarchitectural complex...... the warlike the wildernessspreadthis, thinks is also, thissweeps acrossWrath of the Scorched Earth of the world, how should a small townescape by luck?”
“它有着极为丰富的森林资源,当我回到家乡时,红杉林被砍光了大片,有的只是光秃秃、插满树桩的大地,熟悉的小镇也只剩下了残垣断壁,就像荒野上很常见的废弃建筑群一样……战争蔓延到了这,想想也是,这是席卷全世界的焦土之怒,一个小镇又该如何幸免呢?”„Whatlater did youmake?”
“之后你又做了什么呢?”Dennissaid,„Itryto look for others, but the people in small townare not many, do not say that the young peoplewent outto go to war, seeking for severalyearslater, Irealizedsuddenly,Ipossiblyrememberonly the person in Chinese larchtown/subdues, evenagainhowsad, I must continueto go forward, Ithenarrived atanothercity, triedto launch the newlife there.”
丹尼斯说,“我试着寻找其他人,但小镇的人并不多,更不要说年轻人都出去打仗了,在寻找了几年后,我忽然意识到,我可能是唯一记得红杉镇的人了,即便再怎么难过,我也要继续前进了,我便来到了另一座城市,试着在那里展开新的生活。”„Did youachieve? Newlife.”
“你做到了吗?新生活。”„Probably.”
“大概吧。”YinFansilentlyunder the recordheandDennis's the dialoguein the paperpage, hefeltat this time the atmospherecontrastswas similar, shouldguideDennisto the realissue.
尹凡默默地在纸页上记录下他与丹尼斯的对话,此时他觉得气氛烘托的差不多了,也该将丹尼斯引导向真正的问题了。„Beirrogo Lazarus.”
“伯洛戈·拉撒路。”YinFanmentioned the Beirrogonametowering, the atmosphere in flashcar(riage)decreased temperaturerapidly, is relying on the instinct of occupation, YinFancandetectDennis'schangekeenly,
尹凡突兀地讲出了伯洛戈的名字,一瞬间车内的气氛迅速降温,凭借着职业的本能,尹凡能敏锐地察觉到丹尼斯的变化,
The heart rateriseandblood pressureincrease, the fingertremblesslightly, the body surfaceperspiration, the lookdissociationis unceasing, the breathspeeds upslightly, theseresponsesare quite secret, butregarding the professional, thisis very goodto observe.
心率上升、血压增加,手指微微发抖、体表出汗,眼神游离不断,呼吸微微加快,这些反应极为隐秘,但对于专业人士而言,这很好观察。YinFanknows that shouldcontinue, hedemonstrated the Beirrogopicture, askedagain.
尹凡知道该继续了,他将伯洛戈的照片展示了出来,再次问道。„Do youstillrememberhim?”
“你还记得他吗?”
The eyes of Dennispollutionare staring in the picturestubbornly the Beirrogoappearance, hehas not thoughtin any event, so manyyearslater, hewill hear the Beirrogonameagain, seeshisappearance.
丹尼斯浑浊的双眼死死地盯着照片上伯洛戈的模样,他无论如何都未想过,这么多年后,他会再次听到伯洛戈的名字,看到他的样子。Sufferedhislifetimedreamdemonto return, nearlyinlateruler.
折磨他一生的梦魔归来了,近在迟尺。InYinFanyangraduallyappeared the darkpeacefulglimmer, hissoundhad the charmprobably, spread to Dennis'sear.
尹凡眼中逐渐浮现起了暗澹的微光,他的声音像是有魔力般,传入了丹尼斯的耳中。„Saidanything, Dennis.”
“说些什么吧,丹尼斯。”
