Lateris the longsilence.
之后是漫长的缄默。Both eyes of Annaandwere inferiortranquility that like thatheimagines, inspeechlesslooking at each other, under the sky-bluelake surfaceis surging the undercurrent, insideworried,has the fear, what are more is determined--because of this, herfacial expressioncanbe so firm.安娜的双眼并不如他想象的那般平静,在无言的对视中,蔚蓝色的湖面下涌动着暗流,里面有担忧,有害怕,但更多的是决心——正因为如此,她的神情才能如此坚定。Astimepassing of quietly, thisfeelingeven moreis intense.
随着时间的悄然流逝,这种感觉就愈发强烈。Rolandrealizedfinally,perhapsoneselfdoes not have the meansto convinceher.罗兰终于意识到,自己恐怕没有办法说服她。Hecloses the eye, has sighed deeplytone.
他闭上眼睛,长叹了口气。„Good, butyoumustacceptmyrequest.”
“好吧,但你要答应我一个要求。”„Yousaid.”
“你说。”„Ifin the battlefieldhadanyaccident/surprise......”Rolandto lick the lip, „Imeant the eventuality, Iunfortunately......”
“若是战场上出现什么意外……”罗兰舔了舔嘴唇,“我是说万一,我不幸……”„Ifhadsuchmatter, Ileavenorthern regionimmediately,”Annaspoke frankly.
“如果真的发生了那样的事情,我会立刻离开北境,”安娜直言道。Rolandcannot help butis startled.罗兰不由得怔住。„You were worrying that Itake revengetoChurch, finallyloses the lifein vain?”Sheis stroking gentlyhischeeks, „NightingaleandAshmaydo. Iwill return toWestern Regionas soon as possible, thentakes is willingto followyourperson, goes toSleeping Island, took root there , to continue to resistHoly City. Your Majesty, althoughIalsovery muchwantto accompanyyou, butIknow that youare not willingto seethis matter.” Here herpaused, „, thereforeIcangranttoyou, the world that wantednot to arrivebeforeyou, Iwill continueto replaceyouto walk, untilwitch and average personcanlive togetherunrestrained.”
“你是在担心我向教会复仇,最后枉送性命吗?”她摩挲着他的脸颊,“夜莺和灰烬才有可能那么做。我会尽快返回西境,然后带上所有愿意跟随你的人,前往沉睡岛,在那里扎下根来,继续对抗圣城。陛下,虽然我也很想陪着你,但我知道你绝不愿意看到此事。”说到这儿她顿了顿,“所以我可以向你允诺,在你想要的世界未到来之前,我会继续代替你走下去,直到女巫和普通人能够无拘无束地生活在一起。”Hedoes not haveanswer, does not needanswer...... The growth of Annahas surpassedhisimagination, thisishearrives atthisworldbestrepayment.
他没有回答,也不需要回答……安娜的成长超过了他的想象,这已经是他来到这个世界最好的回报。Sheextendstakes action, has untied the Rolandbutton.
她伸出手,解开了罗兰的衣扣。Allhave not neededto talk too much.
一切已无需多言。Theyhug and kissare reversingon the bed.
两人拥吻着翻倒在床上。
The blackfirehas lagged behind the window curtains, allocates for one side the clothes and bedding, the destinyinconnectsat this momentfirmly, useseverywherestarsas the card.
黑火拉下了窗帘,将衣服和被褥拨到一边,命运在此刻牢牢连接,以漫天的星辰为证。
......
……Twodayslater, Rolandmakeswent to battle with the lastspeechbeforesquare.
两天后,罗兰在广场上做了出征前的最后一场演说。citizen that comespusheswatertight the square, afterone -and-a-half years of development, pastBorder Townhas not existed, what replaces it islivelyandbusyNeverwinter City, the life of peoplehad the earth-shakingchange, the Rolandprestigesuch ashas also risen to an unprecedentedaltitude.
闻讯而来的领民将广场挤得水泄不通,经过一年半的发展,过去的边陲镇已不复存在,取而代之的是繁华而忙碌的无冬城,人民的生活有了翻天覆地的改变,罗兰的声望也如涨至了一个前所未有的高度。„Mycitizen, good morning,”heis on the tribune, immediatelywelcomed the cheers of blotting out the sky.
“我的领民们,上午好,”他登上演讲台,顿时迎来了铺天盖地的欢呼声。„Kinglong live!”
“国王万岁!”„Your Majesty Rolandlong live!”
“罗兰陛下万岁!”Does not needEchoto make the request, does not needanyagitation, peopleawareandwarmexudes the respectfulcall, both hands that brandishesis similar to the sea that surges.
不需要回音做托,也不需要任何鼓动,人们自觉而热情的发出充满敬意的呼声,挥舞的双手如同涌动的海洋。Enough after halfquarter, the soundgraduallysubsides.
足足半刻钟之后,声音才渐渐平息。„Youshouldknow,”Rolandlooks all aroundunder the stage the eyes of innumerabledoublerespect, the sinkingsoundsaid,„kingdomwill welcome the war of self-defense that oneresists the intruder, the enemyhas annexedEternal WinterandWolf HeartHoly City of Hermes! NowFour Great KingdomsonlyremainsGreycastle and Dawnsurvival, butnow, theirgoalshave aimed atus!”
“你们应该已经知道了,”罗兰环顾台下无数双崇敬的眼睛,沉声说道,“王国将迎来一场对抗入侵者的自卫战争,敌人正是吞并了永冬和狼心的赫尔梅斯圣城!如今四大王国仅剩灰堡和晨曦幸存,而现在,他们的目标已经对准了我们!”„Iknow that yoursomepeopleoncehad believedgods, has believedChurch, thisis not ignominious! Yourgoodnesswere used, youranticipationswere cheated, Idid not blame the swindler and robber, insteadblamedasyou of victim? Of course not!”Heraises the fist, „shouldpay the pricefor this reason, isChurchis right! OnlyinsellingGod Punishment Stoneone, theymustearnhundreds of thousands ofgold royal--every year, butthesemoneyshouldbeyou!”
“我知道你们有些人曾相信过神明,相信过教会,这并不可耻!你们的善良被人利用,你们的期待被人蒙骗,难道我不去责怪骗子和强盗,反而来责怪身为受害者的你们么?当然不是!”他举起拳头,“应该为此付出代价的,是教会才对!光是在售卖神罚之石一项上,他们每年就要赚取数十万枚金龙——而这些钱本应该属于你们!”„Why? The truthis very simple, nobledid not wantextraneous expense not poorcostto purchaseGod stone, the natureshifts the head of citizen some expenses, increased the taxandenhancementturning, to punish and confiscateandrob--thisis the reason! MoreoverGod stonethis, begins the church, residentto officiate, the holy waterbaptismby farincessantly, Ibelieve that youcommandeer the namenot to be strangetothese!”
“为什么?道理很简单,贵族不愿意额外支出一笔不菲的费用来购买神石,自然把这部分开销转移到了领民的头上,增税、提高上缴、罚没、强夺——这就是原因!而且远远不止神石这一项,开建教堂、常驻主祭、圣水洗礼,我相信你们对这些强征名目绝不陌生!”Mustbe easiestto understandanythingby the people, mosthatesanything, thatdefinitelyexploits and oppression. The Church'smethoddoes not havenobleto be like that flagrant, in the experiencedRolandeye, wantsto pierce this lightfig leafnot to have the difficulty, simultaneouslywhile convenientthrowsseveralbasinfilthy waterto be also handy.
要论民众最容易理解什么,又最痛恨些什么,那肯定是剥削和压迫。教会的手段没有贵族那般明目张胆,不过在身经百战的罗兰眼里,想要戳穿这薄薄的一层遮羞布毫无难度,同时顺带泼几盆污水也得心应手。„Churchgrantsthissum of moneyto tradeblessing of gods, butresult? BeforeIcomesmall town, peoplealwayscannot eat to the fullnot to put onwarmly, the famineandseverely coldwill still comeineachMonths of Demons, the person who cannot supporthas forever closed the eye, person who as forboiling...... Reallybecause ofhelp of Churchorgods? No, theiranythinghas not done!”Rolandwas fierceenhanced the volume, „theywere interestedonly, wassuck dryyourblood!”
“教会允诺这笔钱会换来神明的庇佑,但结果呢?在我来小镇之前,人们总是吃不饱穿不暖,饥荒和严寒依然会在每个邪魔之月如约而至,撑不过去的人永远闭上了眼睛,至于熬下来的人……真是因为教会或神明的帮助吗?不,他们什么也没有做!”罗兰猛得提高了音量,“他们唯一感兴趣的,就是吸干你们的血!”Regardingthesematters, localresidentcomes clearly into view, but the refugeesfromothercities, mostlyhas also experienced the similarbitter experience. In the squareeruptsangryclamoring, the peoplesum uponChurch the pain that the pastsuffered.
对于这些事情,本地的居民历历在目,而来自其他城市的流民,大多也经历过同样的遭遇。广场上爆发出愤怒的喧哗,众人都把以往所遭受的痛苦归结到了教会身上。„ThereforeIwill not surrender, will not lose tosuchblood suckinginsect!”Rolandbrandishes the fistto shouthigh, „First Armywill grind the powderthem, nobodydaresto plundermypeopleagain, youdo not needto worry that toestablishchurch, orisredeems in full the sinto pay the wealth, becausethesenonsensetax moneywill vanishin front ofnewbornGreycastlecleanly!”
“所以我绝不会投降,更不会输给这样的吸血虫!”罗兰挥舞着拳头高喊道,“第一军会把他们碾成粉末,再也没有人敢掠夺我的子民,你们不必担心为建立教堂,或者是赎清罪孽而缴纳钱财,因为这些狗屁税款都会在新生的灰堡面前消失得一干二净!”„Facthad shown,not havingChurchto exist, Neverwinter Citywill becomehappier, othercitiesalsowill beso!”
“事实已经证明,没有教会存在,无冬城会变得更美好,其他城市也是如此!”„Createsall these, isyourboth hands, isyourspirits, butis nottheseillusorythings, whythisisIrepeatedlyemphasizes the workhonorablereason. Onlyhas the workto create the wealth, butyou, are the incomparablyhonorableworkers, for this reasonfeels the glory, withoutyou, does not haveNeverwinter Citytoday'sliveliness!”
“缔造这一切的,是你们的双手,是你们的精神,而不是那些虚无缥缈的东西,这就是我为何一再强调劳动光荣的原因。唯有劳动可以创造财富,而你们,便是无比光荣的劳动者,为此感到荣耀吧,没有你们,就没有无冬城今日的繁华!”Underhisboth handspresses, stops the citizencall, „, thereforeFirst Armyset off, theywill go tonorthern region, withlooking atall theseChurchfights. Lostwords, wewill lose the hadentirety, returns to the barrenpoverty-strickendayonce more...... Toldmeloudly, are youwillingto return?”
他双手下压,止住领民的呼声,“所以第一军出发了,他们将前往北境,和觑视这一切的教会战斗。输了的话,我们会失去所拥有的全部,再次回到过去贫瘠困苦的日子……大声告诉我,你们愿意回到过去吗?”
The answerwas self-evident.
答案已不言而喻。„No, Your Majesty, wecanfight to the endwithChurch!”
“不,陛下,我们会和教会战斗到底!”„Kills offthem!”
“杀光他们!”„ExpelsGreycastlethem!”
“把他们赶出灰堡!”„Pledges to fight to the deathto guardYour Majesty Roland!”
“誓死捍卫罗兰陛下!”answer under stageis all kinds, butexpressionconsistentespecially-- of allpeopletheyare willingto defendthishard-wonall.
台下的回答五花八门,但所有人的表情都格外一致——他们甘愿保卫这来之不易的一切。„Saidwell, Ido not needyouto go on stageto kill the enemy, thatis the First Armyresponsibility, youdo not needto pay the extrawartax, thatis the procedure of enemy. Youonlyuseas usual , to continue to join in the construction and production of Neverwinter City, is to the family membersbesthelp of frontlinecombat.” The Rolandright handcaresses the chest, then the goodmilitary salute, „wewill certainlywin! Kingdom of Greycastlelong live!”
“说得好,我不需要你们上场杀敌,那是第一军的责任,你们也不必缴纳额外的战争税,那是敌人的做法。你们只用像以往一样,继续投身于无冬城的建设和生产,就是对在前线作战的亲人们最好的帮助。”罗兰右手抚胸,接着行军礼,“我们必将胜利!灰堡王国万岁!”„Victory!”
“胜利!”„Long live!”
“万岁!”
The peoplepraisedrepeatedlysingthesetwowords and expressions, leftafterRolandstillfor a very long time.
人民反复颂唱这两个词语,直到罗兰离开后仍久久不息。the same dayin the afternoon, lastgroup of soldiersmountStream Ship, the armyuseH.M.S. Rolandas the flagship, blows a whistleto start.当天下午,最后一批士兵登上明轮船,军队以罗兰号为旗舰,鸣笛启程。Goal--Quiet Valley Town!
