WhenHao Rendrillsfrom the opening of electricitystairwell, hesawwhat kind ofscenethesehundredkilometersinterstellargreatshipshas, butthissceneis impressive.,
当郝仁从电梯井的裂口中钻出来,他看到了这百公里长的星际巨舰内部有着怎样的光景,而这光景令人惊叹。,Heseesonegreatly, the farultraeye of inner spacein one's power, inthisspacehas a starshipmetropolis. The innumerablebuildingsspread out all overin the land, butthislandsticks outin the distant placegradually, the warp, andcloses upinanother of skyfinally, the entirecitythenconstructs, inseals up, seems likein the egg shellsameliptical vessel, allartificialland and architectural complexpasteson the inner wall of thisegg shell.
他看到一个巨大的、远超目力所能及的内部空间,这空间中存在着一座星舰都市。无数建筑物在大地上铺展开去,而这大地则在远方渐渐隆起,翘曲,并最终在天空的另一头合拢,整座城市便建造在一个封闭起来的、像是蛋壳一样的椭圆形容器内,所有的人工大地和建筑群都贴在这层蛋壳的内壁上。Hetolooksin all directions, a strangedizzinessfeelingis dazzling: Heredoes not have the sky, withoutstrict sense the difference about, the closedlandformed the spherical shell, whichdirectionno matterinlooked that cansee the closebuilding and giantandstrangemechanism. When Hao Renturn headlooks atgot downthroughthatelectricitystairwell, hethendiscovered that itis a metallic pipe that is passing through the entirespherical shellspace, more than tensuchmetallic pipeparallel-alignedinhimbehind, in the large building of cityfrom the shipelongate, andvanishesin the large building of oppositeanotherinversionfinally. Butis halfwayin the metallic pipes of theseparallel-aligned, thencansee that manyfloatin the pipeline that the spacecentralplatformandcomes up in great numbers and from all sides, obviouslythisis the key communication line.
他向四面八方看去,一种怪异的眩晕感让人眼花缭乱:这里没有天空,没有严格意义的上下之别,闭合的大地形成了球壳,不管朝哪个方向看过去都能看到鳞次栉比的建筑物和巨大而怪异的机械装置。郝仁回头看了一眼自己下来时通过的那道电梯井,他这才发现它原来是一根贯穿着整个球壳空间的金属管,有十几根这样的金属管平行排列在他身后,从舰内城市的一个大型建筑物内伸长出来,并最终消失在对面另一座倒置的大型建筑物内。而在这些平行排列的金属管半中腰,则可以看到很多悬浮在空间中央的平台和横生的管道,显然这是交通要道。Butsuch„parallelmetallic pipevariety”is notonly, inlooking out into the distance, Hao Rensawfromthatindistinctglimmersketchalsohasothermetallic pipeto stand and wait for a long timein the distant place, theyspread acrosslike the skeleton of monsterwithin the bodypassed throughthisgreatship, maintainedin the landing the city and transportationway.
而这样的“平行金属管簇”并非唯一,在极目远眺的时候,郝仁从那隐隐约约的微光剪影里看到了还有别的金属管在远处伫立着,它们就像怪兽体内的骨骼一样纵横交错地贯穿了这艘巨舰,维系着舰内城市和外界的交通路径。Vivianlastcomes out, shelooks at the city in thisspherical shellcuriously. Muttering: „Does not have the air, a piecesilent......, buthasup.”薇薇安最后一个出来,她好奇地看着这个球壳里的城市。喃喃自语:“没有空气,一片寂静……但有光。”
The cityis not a darkness. Butcannot callbrightly. Inthesesilentbuildings, cansee that the residuallighting systemwas still operating. The lights of innumerabletwinkle starglitterin each corner of closedland, puts in the entirecity a glimmer, butin the spherical shellspaceend of thisoval-shape, but can also see an especiallygiantthing, thatis a cylinder„mountain”, itseems like a hugemachine, has the complexstructure, the machineoutflow boundaryisonesends out the orange redglimmer, as ifradiationcirclesamestructure, sunlight of thisraylikeat dusk. Bringssomelightfor the city of thisglimmer.
城市并非一片黑暗。但也称不上明亮。在那些寂静的建筑物之间,可以看到残留的照明系统仍然在运作着。无数星星点点的灯光在闭合大地的每一个角落闪烁,将整个城市置于一片微光之中,而在这个椭圆形的球壳空间一端,还可以看到一个格外巨大的东西,那是一座圆柱形的“山”,它像是一台庞大的机器,有着复杂的结构,机器外缘是一圈发出橙红色微光的、仿佛散热圈一样的结构,这层光芒如同薄暮时的阳光。为这座微光之城带来一些光明。Howeverall theserayscannot say that by far the internal system of brightthisshipdefinitelyhas problems, illumination that no matterin the citysurvives, is that giantmachine of spherical shellspaceend, obviouslyis not the running at full capacity, poursis more likestemming fromsomereadiness for action.
不过所有这些光芒都远远称不上明亮这艘船的内部系统肯定出了问题,不管是城市里残存的照明,还是球壳空间尽头的那座巨大机器,显然都不是满负荷运转的,倒更像是出于某种待机状态。„Noliferesponded,”Hao Renlooks at the reading that Mobile Data Terminalsent, althoughterminalas a portablepersonal data assistantnottoostrongscanningability, buthas a look at presentthisice-colddeathly stillnessplace, hedid not think that canfindwhatsurvivorwith a biggerradarfrom the city. „Does not have the atmosphere, without the moisture content, almostandoutsideouter spaceis equally cold, moreoverthere is a radiation of exceeding the allowed figure...... the person dead evidentlycertainly.”
“没有生命反应,”郝仁看了一眼数据终端发来的读数,虽然终端作为一个便携式的个人数据助理并没有太强的扫描能力,但看看眼前这个冰冷死寂的地方,他也不觉得用更大的雷达就能从城市里找到什么幸存者。“没有大气,没有水分,几乎和外面的太空一样冷,而且还有超标的辐射……看样子人都死绝了。”Nangong Wuyueflutterssuddenly. Poked the arm of Hao Renwith the tailsharp, sheis pointing atsomedirection: „Persontrulydied.”南宫五月突然飘过来。用尾巴尖戳了戳郝仁的胳膊,她指着某个方向:“人确实都死了。”Hao Renlooked at the pastfollowing the direction of Nangong Wuyuefinger, sawin the distant placemidairto float a corpse of personlifeformimpressively.郝仁顺着南宫五月手指的方向看过去,赫然看到远处半空中漂浮着一个人型生物的尸体。Afterheexamines carefullywith rapt attention. Alsodiscoveredmoreremains, theseremainsfloatin the crevice of urban architecturegroup. Some have flutteredtothisspherical shellspacehigh placein the place of thisnothigh and lowdivision, instrict sense„high place”isthisclosed roomcenter part. Here is very farfromeachouter wall.

These that nowsurvivesshould the quiteluckyremains, moreperhapshas changed into the dustin the innumerablecollisions of longtime.
而且当他凝神细看之后。又发现了更多的遗体,这些遗体漂浮在城市建筑群的夹缝之中。有一些则已经飘到这个球壳空间的高处在这个没有上下之分的地方,严格意义上的“高处”就是这个封闭空间的中心部。这里距离每一处外壁都很远。无数的尸体就这样在空中漂浮着,而且大多残缺不全,超低温让他们变得脆弱,轻微的碰撞就会像打破冰块一样让尸体支离破碎。现在残存下来的这些应该还是比较幸运的遗体,更多的恐怕已经在漫长时光的无数次碰撞中化为粉尘了。Hao Renturns aroundto fluttertobeing away from a hequiteneararchitectural complex, and„landing”in a roof in tall building. Withoutlooking upthesehang upside down the construction, the strangemisconception of turning upside downis not obvious. Hediscovered that alsoseveralremainsare flutteringin the nearby of thisbuilding, thenarrives attheirsideinspection.郝仁转身飘向距离他比较近的一片建筑群,并在一座高楼的楼顶上“着陆”。在不抬头看那些倒悬建筑的时候,上下颠倒的怪异错觉也就没那么明显了。他发现也有几具遗体在这座大楼的附近飘荡着,便来到他们身边检查情况。„Five sensescharacteristicsare close tostandardType Ihuman, the skin coloris shallow, the earis long, the skeletonis slender, is very tall, does not removeis the result of long-termouter spacesurvival,”Hao Renis inspecting the biological characteristics of remainslike the specializedcoroner, and the datatotalonlinelifeformevolutioncomparesit, „good of preservation.”
“五官特征接近标准i型人类,肤色浅,耳朵较长,骨骼纤细,个子都很高,不排除是长时间太空生存的结果,”郝仁像个专业的验尸官一样检查着遗体的生物特征,并将其和数据总网上的生物谱系进行对比,“保存的不错。”„Heredoes not have the air, is the ultra-low temperature, when the corpsecannotbe rottenandwithered, after turning into the ice sculpture, almostcanmaintain the deathappearanceforever,”Nangong Sanbais sayingwhiletakes outseveraltypes of exquisitecutting tools and metalneedlesfrom the tool bag, cutsto inspecton the remains, „Ihave a lookalsoto havewhatresidualinformation.”
“这里没有空气,又是超低温,尸体不会腐烂和干枯,变成冰雕之后几乎能永远保持死亡时的模样,”南宫三八一边说着一边从工具包里取出几样精巧的刀具和金属针,在遗体上切割检查起来,“我看看还有什么残留信息。”Hao Renlooks up the city of thissilentglimmer, guessedreason that onthisarkallcrew membersdied a tragic death: „Wasairdivulgingcauses the crew member dead? Did otherreasoncause the life-support systemshutdown?”郝仁抬头看着这座寂静的微光之城,猜测这艘方舟上所有乘员惨死的原因:“是空气泄漏导致乘员死亡?还是别的原因导致维生系统停摆了?”„The air/Qiclosed cabin that beforediscoveredwas the breakdown, butwas mad the outermoststrobe of closed cabinalsoto maintain the seal, the control system can also operatenormally,”Mobile Data Terminalsaid,„thisshipwas too big, perhapsneeded to determine the accident cause factorto the finescanning of entireouter coveringonetime. Moreoveroutsidealsohas several other ships, this aircraftthought that perhapstheirsituationsdo not comparehereto be good.”
“之前发现的气闭舱是故障的,但气闭舱的最外面一层闸门还保持着封闭,控制系统也能正常运作,”数据终端说道,“这艘船太大了,或许需要一次对整个外壳的精细扫描才能确定事故原因。而且外面还有另外十几艘船,本机觉得它们的情况恐怕不比这儿好。”Hao Rennods, put throughcommunication: „Nolan, the releasedetector, conducts the outer coveringcrack detectiontoourgreatships, looksto leak airorotherfatalscars.”郝仁点点头,接通了通讯器:“诺兰,释放探测器,对我们所处的这艘巨舰进行外壳探伤,看有没有漏气点或者其他致命伤痕。”„Nolanunderstands.”
“诺兰明白。”At this timeNangong Sanbahas inspected the firstremains, he seemed to have discovered, thereforeflutteredto inspectto several other remainsby, Nangong Wuyueaskedonecuriously: „Elder Brother, whatdiscovered?”
这时候南宫三八已经检查完第一具遗体,他似乎有所发现,于是又飘到另外几具遗体旁边检查起来,南宫五月好奇地问了一句:“哥,发现啥了?”„The causes of death of thesepeopledo not suffocatewith the low temperature,”Nangong Sanbareceivesowntool, „theirdeathshapesare very serene, in the blood vessel of freezehassomeresidualchemical substances, seems like......”
“这些人的死因都不是窒息和低温,”南宫三八把自己的工具收起来,“他们的死状很安详,冻结的血管里有一些残留的化学物质,很像是……”Lilyaskedflustered: „Whatseems like?”莉莉急吼吼地问:“很像是什么?”„Seemed likeinhaleda lot ofhallucinogens...... orother anything,”Nangong Sanbais pointing at the surroundings, „eachcorpsewasthis.”
“很像是吸入了大量致幻剂……或者别的什么东西,”南宫三八指着周围,“每一具尸体都是这样。”„Hallucinogen?” A Hao Renfaceis accidental/surprised, „are thesepeople the taking medicinedie?”
“致幻剂?”郝仁一脸意外,“这些人是嗑药死的?”„Although is almost thismeaningbutIthought that yourelectingworda littleissue,” the Nangong Sanbacorners of the mouthvibratetwo, „at presentIonlyinspecthereseveralcorpses, perhapscannotbe the evidence, wefind the place of distant point.”
“虽然差不多是这个意思但我觉得你的选词有点问题,”南宫三八嘴角抖动两下,“目前我只检查了这里的几具尸体,恐怕不能作为证据,咱们去找找更远点的地方。”Hao Renun, turned the headto flutterto the street in distant place.郝仁嗯了一声,转头飘向远处的街道。Inthisshipcity, althoughdeep placespaceship, but because the spaceshipvolumeis huge, the scale of city is also naturally unequalled. Herehas various closemassiveconstructions and completefacilities, the streetis broad, the buildingis big, if not raise the headcansee the closedartificialland, perhapswill placepersonevento forget the true feature of thiscity.
这座舰内城市虽然深处飞船内部,但由于飞船本身体积庞大,城市的规模自然也是无与伦比的。这里有着鳞次栉比的大量建筑和完备的各种设施,街道宽阔,楼宇高大,如果不是抬头就能看到闭合的人工大地,身处其中的人恐怕甚至会忘记这座城市的真实面目。
The peoplearrive at the citydeep place, andsoonfoundmorebodies, as well as...... not rightthing.
众人来到城市深处,并且很快发现了更多遗体,以及……更不对劲的东西。Theyfound a building, thisbuildinghas the beautifulcircularglassvault and broadinner space, according to the decorationformjudged,thisshouldbe the speciallocation that conductsanythingto gather. The outer wall that becauseconstructsbroke a large cave/hole, Hao Rentheyfollowedcave entranceto worm one's way intodirectly, andsaw that makesone that onewas flabbergasted:
他们找到一座建筑物,这座建筑物有着漂亮的圆形玻璃穹顶和宽阔的内部空间,根据装潢形式判断,这应该是举办什么聚会的专门场地。由于建筑的外墙破了个大洞,郝仁他们直接就顺着洞口钻了进去,并看到令人咋舌的一幕:Here seems to be holding a banquet, cansee the tables of innumerableneatarrangementin the giantconference site, on the tableis placingsumptuousfood, althoughallthingshad been coveredbyonefrost, but can still seethisis a largemeal. A lot ofcorpsesfloodinthisplace, theymaintainedwere still dying a momentappearance: Sitsat the table, the malewears the neatappropriatedinner jacket, the femalewears the brightprettybrand-newwomen's clothing, althoughhas frozenicecorpses, actuallystillas ifsamesplendid attireattendanceinbanquet.

这里似乎正在举办一场宴会,在巨大的会场内可以看到无数整齐排列的餐桌,桌子上摆放着丰盛的食物,虽然所有东西都已经被一层冰霜覆盖,但仍然可以看出这是场规模盛大的餐宴。大量尸体就充斥在这个地方,他们仍然保持着死亡一刻的模样:坐在餐桌旁,男性穿着整齐得体的小礼服,女性则身着鲜艳漂亮的崭新衣裙,尽管已经冻结成一具具冰尸,却仍然仿佛在宴会中一样盛装出席。在大厅的一角,郝仁还看到几个穿着黑色长礼服的男性遗体倒在那边的小台子上,他们已经和周围的东西冻成一体,手中则握着像是乐器一样的东西:这似乎是一支小小的乐队。
The sumptuoustable, the orchestra of accompaniment, puts on the men and women of formal clothes, hereoncehad a grand feastbeforeeveryonejust before the end.
丰盛的餐桌,伴奏的乐队,穿着礼服的男男女女,这里曾有一场盛宴在所有人临终之前。„Ifeel the infant.”Nangong Wuyuerubbedrubbing hands.
“我感觉毛毛的。”南宫五月搓了搓手。„Ifeelfurry.”Lilyshook the tail.( To be continued......)
“我感觉毛茸茸的。”莉莉晃了晃尾巴。(未完待续……)
