Under this situation, villagers who says alligator god reincarnation stood, demonstrated that the unusual strength, claimed must follow the tradition, leading the compatriot to hunt and kill the bitter enemy, holds the blood sacrifice with the head of old enemy, making the world order restore the balance, who can resist this extremely seditious summons? 在这种处境下,一个自称“鳄鱼神”转世的村民站了出来,显示出超凡的力量,声称要遵循传统,带领同胞猎杀世仇,用宿敌的头颅举行血祭,使世界秩序恢复平衡,又有谁能抗拒这一极富煽动性的号召? Soars to engage in introspection, if oneself are an ordinary En Village youth, witnesses Andre to change a great alligator, from the heart will worship this Deity, revering it is a Savior, fights for him voluntarily, spares no sacrifice the life. 高飞扪心自问,如果自己是一个普通的皮里恩村青年,亲眼目睹安德烈变身巨鳄,也会发自内心的崇拜这个“神人”,尊其为救世主,自愿为他而战,不惜牺牲生命。 In the final analysis, the religion is the anesthetic of toiling masses. 归根结底,宗教是劳苦大众的麻醉剂。 Soars as from „a civilized world traveller, regarding the barbaric tradition of Asmara person, at first with seeking novelty and disdaining mentality. 高飞作为一名来自“文明世界”的旅行者,对于阿斯马特人的野蛮传统,最初是怀着猎奇与不屑的心态。 Arrives at En Village, deeply understood the local cultural background and suffering, his mentality also changes, what are more is sympathizes and helpless. 来到皮里恩村,深入了解了当地的文化背景和生活困境,他的心态也随之改变,更多的是同情与无奈。 The resident in En Village, in alligator under Andre's misleading, tries to revive the bloody hunter tradition, this naturally is the barbaric and wrong method. 皮里恩村的居民,在“鳄鱼”安德烈的蛊惑下,试图复兴血腥的猎头传统,这当然是野蛮和错误的做法。 However, if did not consider the environment that the Asmara area is deteriorating day by day, did not consider the variation monster that in the jungle and swamp run amuck is corroding the existing space of local villagers, criticizes these to return to the traditional poor man because of the despair is too barbaric purely, is too ignorant, that is unfair. 但是,如果不考虑阿斯马特地区正在日益恶化的环境,不考虑丛林和沼泽中横行的变异怪物正在侵蚀当地村民的生存空间,单纯批评这些因绝望而回归传统的可怜人太野蛮,太愚昧,那就太不公平了。 So-called civilized world, except for the natural resources of frenzied plundering indigenous people, what had once done for them? 所谓的文明世界,除了疯狂掠夺原住民的自然资源,可曾为他们做过些什么? At least on Batavia authority, has not made any effort for the variation monster that to eliminate the Asmara area is in flood at present, rather said that is whatever the indigenous people run its own course. 起码就巴达维亚当局来说,目前还没有为消灭阿斯马特地区泛滥的变异怪物做出任何努力,毋宁说是任由原住民自生自灭。 That no wonder native in own way, although is a barbaric way, resists the disaster, struggles to seek livehood. 那就怪不得当地人以自己的方式,尽管是一种野蛮的方式,对抗天灾,挣扎求生。 When soaring lost thinking, four villagers walked. 就在高飞出神思索的时候,四个村民走了进来。 And three stature capable young fellows, lift Bussy column with joint forces, moves out outside the room, toward the swamp that side. 其中三个身材精壮的小伙子,合力抬起比西柱,搬出屋外,朝沼泽那边去了。 A middle-aged person, invited the fellow who everyone visits, on the face to hang the astute smile a moment ago, is saying anything with the local dialect to Pape. 还有一个中年人,就是刚才邀请大家来参观的家伙,脸上挂着精明的笑容,用当地方言对佩普说着什么。 Pape hears to knit the brows, did not wait for him saying that shook the head decisively the rejection. 佩普听得直皱眉,不等他说完就断然摇头拒绝。 The opposite party have not lost heart , to continue to lobby. 对方还不死心,继续游说。 Pape is even more impatient, suddenly sinks the complexion, out promotes him. 佩普越发不耐烦,突然沉下脸色,一把将他推出门外。 When two people talked dialect that used, not only uncommon language fast and quick, soared to too, the simultaneous interpretation of astrolabe was not very precise, can only listen to that person to invite the tourist to visit any ceremony probably, naturally, must give him an advantage, as admission ticket. 两人交谈时使用的方言,既生僻语速又快,高飞离得太远,星盘的同声传译也不够精确,只能大概听出那人邀请游客参观一个什么仪式,当然,得给他一点好处,作为入场券。 Does not know that for what reason, Representative Pape all teammates rejected his invitation. 不知出于什么理由,佩普代表全体队友拒绝了他的邀请。 Soars is listening in side, but also blames the regret. 高飞在旁边听着,还怪遗憾的。 Actually he is interested to grand ceremony that” the villagers said very much, even if spent, wants to see the world. 其实他对村民所说的“盛大仪式”很感兴趣,哪怕花点钱呢,也想去见见世面。 But Pape rejected, he did not say anything. 可是佩普都拒绝了,他也不好说啥。 At this time, Tang Ning pulled out the magic lipstick, smudged clever speech technique on own lip, out went out quickly, beckoned toward that middle-aged villagers, skilled with the local dialect, chatted with him. 这时,唐宁掏出魔法唇膏,在自己嘴唇上涂抹“巧言术”,快步走出门外,朝那个中年村民招手,熟练的操着当地方言,与他聊了起来。 Pape crosses oneself this guide regarding Downing, directly with the approach that the villagers negotiated, was not happy, stood bellows to Tang Ning in the entrance. 佩普对于唐宁越过自己这个向导,直接与村民交涉的做法,非常不高兴,站在门口冲唐宁大吼。 Since acquaintances, this is the first time that soars to see that Brother Pape has a fit of temper, moreover gets angry about his good friend and old buddy Tang Ning, obviously he was really angry. 相识以来,这是高飞第一次看到佩普老哥发脾气,而且是对他的好友兼老搭档唐宁发火,可见他是真的生气了。 Sister Tang!
