Afterseeingthatline of illegibleandsharpletters, Lawrence and sidefirst matewas shockedtogether.
在看到那行潦草而又锐利的字母之后,劳伦斯与身旁的大副一同愣住了。„Humanhas, andonly thentwoeyes...... why will herebe carvingsuchwords?” The first mateopened the eye, after staringthatline of characterswere lookingfor a long time, has turned the headpuzzled, „thisis not very normalmatter——besidesfewcongenital malformations, whoisn'ttwoeyes?”
“人类有且只有两只眼睛……为什么这里会刻着这么句话?”大副张大了眼睛,盯着那行字看了许久之后才困惑地转过头,“这不是非常正常的事情么——除了极少数的先天畸形之外,谁不是两只眼睛?”Lawrencedoes not have first opens the mouth, butafterhesitatingbreaksfor a long timesilent: „Youthought that whothisline of charactersareremain?”劳伦斯却没有第一时间开口,而是在沉吟许久之后才打破沉默:“你觉得这行字是谁留下来的?”„...... The indigenous people on island?” The first matenottoodefinitelysaid,„inthisislandoncehad the person?”
“……岛上的原住民?”大副不太肯定地说道,“这座岛上曾经有人?”„Thisislanddid not say, butonDagger Island in Real Worldsomepeople,”Lawrenceis definitely sayingslowly, put out a handto touchthesescratches on wallgently, the roughandcleartouchtransmittedfrom the fingertip, as if in transmittingthese wordswas being carved the nextthatpowerfulemotion and thought that „humanhad, andonly thentwoeyes, somepeoplecarvedthese wordsspeciallyon the wall, perhapsonexplaining a matter......”
“这座岛不好说,但现实世界中的匕首岛上肯定是有人的,”劳伦斯慢慢说着,伸出手去轻轻触碰着墙上的那些刻痕,粗糙而真切的触感从指尖传来,仿佛在传达着这句话被刻下时那股强烈的情感和意念,“人类有且只有两只眼睛,有人专门把这句话刻在墙上,或许就说明了一件事……”„Explained a matter?”
“说明了一件事?”„Inthisisland, appeared not‚has, only thentwoeyes’, seems like the thing of human,”Lawrenceraised the headslowly, looksto the surroundingthick fog, as well asinfogtheseprospectindistinctly, „, moreovertheymixedinhuman, is actually not ableeasilyto be detected.”
“这座岛上,曾经出现过并非‘有且只有两只眼睛’的、像是人类的东西,”劳伦斯慢慢抬起头,看向了周围的浓雾,以及雾中那些影影绰绰的远景,“而且它们混在了人类之间,却又无法被轻易察觉。”
The first mateinspiresgently, is hesitating the opens the mouth: „Did the person who that...... leaves behindthese wordswhichgo?”
大副轻轻吸了口气,迟疑着开口:“那……留下这句话的人去哪了?”„Ido not know,”Lawrenceshakes the head, whydoes not know, theseblackmud when heactuallyrememberswalkedto see, as well asemptywharfregion, butis quickhethento put the one sidetheseirrelevantrelatestemporarily, andplacedon the hand the door knob in harboroffice, „completes the security.”
“我不知道,”劳伦斯摇了摇头,不知为何,他却想起了一路走来时看到的那些黑色泥浆,以及空荡荡的码头区域,但很快他便把这些无关联想暂时放到一旁,并将手放在了港口办公室的门把手上,“做好警戒。”
The firearmsopen the safesound from transmitbehind, Lawrencecalms down, in the handmakes an effortslightly, shoves openthatdoor.
枪械打开保险的声音从身后传来,劳伦斯定了定神,手中微微用力,将那扇门一把推开。Hemoves sidewaysrapidlyone side, avoidspossiblyhidinganythinginbuilding the bodyexposition, onnearbyfirst matefirst halfstep, withhalfsquattingstancewith the riflemuzzledirectiondoor, latersailorsalsolifts the muzzle, aims atthatleaf of front doorfromeachangle.
他迅速闪身到一旁,避免把身体暴露给可能藏在建筑物内的任何东西,一旁的大副上前半步,以半蹲姿态用步枪枪口指向房门内,随后的水手们也纷纷抬起枪口,从各个角度指向那扇大门。Inbuildingdoes not have anysound.
建筑物内没有任何动静。Standscalms downin the entrancefirst mate, the probe headlookscautiouslyto the room.
站在门口的大副定了定神,小心翼翼地探头看向屋内。„Insideno one,”hehas turned head, „is a spatialoffice, insideis turning on a light.”
“里面没人,”他回过头,“是个空办公室,里面亮着灯。”Lawrencebeckons with the handto the sailors, leadsto enter the roomwith the first matetogether.劳伦斯对水手们摆了摆手,与大副一同带队进入房间。Thisis an office of nobody left, severaltablesalmostoccupiedinhalf ofspaces, severalchairsplacebefore the tableat will, as if some previoussecond of alsopeoplesiton that the gaslamp on electric lamp and wall of roofis shining, makingin the roomespeciallybright, but...... finds at everywherethatstrangesuspiciousblackmudon the floor.
这是一间空无一人的办公室,几张桌子差不多占据了里面一半的空间,几张椅子则随意摆放在桌前,仿佛前一秒还有人坐在那上面,屋顶的电灯和墙壁上的瓦斯灯都亮着,让房间中格外明亮,而在地板上……随处可见那种诡异可疑的黑色泥浆。„Hereisthistype of disgustinggadget...... first mateis also knitting the browsto look at the blackmaterial in roomeverywhere”, the color of dislikecan be seen in speech and appearance, hegoes round the mud on floorcautiously, before arriving atthatseveraldesks, the visionhas swept the documentsandvarioustypes of office supplies of abovedisorderlystack, „thesethings...... Captain do youwantto come to see?”
“这里也到处都是这种恶心玩意儿……”大副皱着眉看着房间里的黑色物质,厌恶之色溢于言表,他小心翼翼地绕开地板上的泥浆,来到那几张办公桌前,目光扫过上面凌乱堆放的文件和各种办公用品,“这些东西……船长您要来看看吗?”„Is the form and report of harbordaily wantsprocessing, the commodityturnover, the personnel movement, the facilitydoes an inspection, the report of examination of machinery equipment......”Lawrencearrives by thesedesks, reads the aboveseveraldocuments, the browwrinklesslowly, „date...... severaldays ago?”
“都是港口日常需要处理的表格与报告,物资进出,人员调动,设施巡查,还有机器设备的检查报告……”劳伦斯来到那些办公桌旁,看着上面的几份文件,眉头慢慢皱起,“日期……就在几天前?”„Hereas ifalsosomepeoplein the work, a sailorswallowed a salivasome time ago”anxiously, the low voicewhispersaid,„theneveryoneevacuatedhurriedly, the thinghas not tidied upwith enough time......”
“这里仿佛不久前还有人在办公,”一个水手紧张地咽了口口水,小声嘀咕道,“然后所有人就都匆忙撤离了,东西都没来得及收拾……”„Hurriedevacuation?”Lawrenceis mutteringin a low voice, the visionhas swept the desktop, the coffee that halfcuphas not drunk upplaceson the table, aboveis floating a lightdust, butbythistable, beachblackmudis dry, the littleblackmaterialsalsoremainon the seat, hisexpressionis gradually dignified, „is really the evacuation......”
“匆忙撤离?”劳伦斯低声咕哝着,目光扫过桌面,半杯没有喝完的咖啡放在桌上,上面浮着一层薄薄的灰尘,而在这张桌子旁边,一滩黑色泥浆已经干涸,少许黑色物质还残留于座椅上面,他的表情逐渐凝重,“真的是撤离么……”
The first matenoticed the change in oldCaptaintone: „Captain, whatyouthink of?”
大副注意到了老船长语气中的变化:“船长,您是想到什么了?”Lawrencethinks,justwantsto sayanything, gratingnoiseactuallytransmits——thatfrom the roomsuddenlysoundsseems like the direction of harborsquare, when is the loudspeakerstartssuddenlyelectric currentnoise!劳伦斯想了想,刚想开口说些什么,一阵刺耳的噪声却突然从房间外面传来——那听上去像是港口广场的方向,是广播喇叭突然启动时的电流噪音!„Buzz——”
“嗡——”
The gratingnoisemakeseveryonebe startled, sailorshurryingwill look atout of the window, but the nextsecond, was twistingandcombines the broadcastsound of disturbancethenresound through the entireharbor areaoff and on, thatwill soundis a slightlyoldsound: „Circular...... wehad been polluted...... the main island...... possiblynot to havesaving...... to start on the 22 nd the flow...... to be honoredvery muchwithwork together as colleagues...... weto meet againafter the Bartokfront door.”
刺耳的噪音让所有人都吃了一惊,水手们慌忙将目光投向窗外,而下一秒,一个断续、扭曲且混杂着干扰的广播声便响彻了整个港口区,那听上去是一个略显苍老的声音:“通告……我们已被污染……本岛……已无挽救可能……将启动二十二号流程……很荣幸与诸位共事……我们在巴托克的大门后再会。”With a gratingnoise, the broadcastsound that hearsfrom the squarestops suddenly, the first matewith astonishmentstaredin a big way the eye, turned the headto looktoLawrence: „Captain, howthisis......”
伴随着一阵刺耳的噪音,从广场上传来的广播声戛然而止,大副惊愕地瞪大了眼睛,转头看向劳伦斯:“船长,这是怎么……”Hisfinishing barely the words, transmitsfrom the distant placelike the slatingloud soundsuddenly!
他的话音未落,一阵如同雷鸣般的巨响突然从远处传来!Butalong withthatthunderousloud sound, ismorethunderoussounds, like the calamity, destroyslike the bare hill!
而伴随着那阵雷鸣巨响的,是更多的雷鸣声,如同天塌地陷,如同地崩山摧!One after anotherfulminationloud soundswept acrossentireDagger Islandinstantaneously, shockseveryone'smind, the Lawrencealmostflashwas then responding that what happened——
接二连三的爆鸣巨响瞬间席卷了整座匕首岛,震撼着所有人的心神,劳伦斯几乎一瞬间便反应过来发生了什么事情——Thisis notthunderous, is the blasting explosive, isin the island the destructive mechanism of certainfacilitiesis blowing upall!
这不是雷鸣,是炸药,是岛上某些设施的自毁装置在炸毁一切!„Leaves the buildingquickly!”Lawrencesuddenshouted loudly, held up the pistolthento open firetoward the ceiling, „had the blasting explosive!”
“快离开建筑物!”劳伦斯突然一声高喊,举起手枪便朝着天花板开了一枪,“有炸药!”
The Captainscream was almost explodedsubmerges, howeverfulminationmany of pistolawakened the surroundingsailors, onegroup of peopleturn towardout of the doorto flush awayimmediately.船长的喊叫声几乎被爆炸淹没,然而手枪的爆鸣多少还是惊醒了周围的水手们,一群人立刻向着门外冲去。Severalpeopleran out of the front door, rushed to the slopeway, dashes about wildlyto gotoward the openplace, butthatintensiveexplosionfromwas still transmittingcontinuouslyin all directions, as ifentireislandis being ripped the fragmentin the large explosion, whendashes about wildlyhalf, Lawrenceactuallyfelt that suddenlyprobablywhichhadis not right.
十几人冲出了大门,冲下了坡道,向着开阔的地方狂奔而去,而那密集的爆炸仍然在持续不断地从四面八方传来,就仿佛整座岛都正在大爆炸中被撕成碎片,然而在狂奔到一半的时候,劳伦斯却突然感觉到了好像有哪不对。„Stops!”Hestoppedsuddenly, fires into the airwhileshoutsloudly, „stops!”
“停下!”他突然停了下来,一边朝天开枪一边大声喊道,“停下!”
The sailorsstoppedflustered, theyalsodetected not the rightplace.
水手们又慌里慌张地停了下来,紧接着,他们也察觉到了不对劲的地方。All aroundonly then the explosive soundtransmitsin the direction that ——howeverexplodesresounds unable to see the smog, cannot see the flash, evencould not feel that anytrembles.
四周只有爆炸声传来——然而爆炸响起的方向上既看不到烟雾,也看不到闪光,甚至感觉不到任何震颤。
The slatingsoundis reverberatingon the entireisland.
只有雷鸣般的声音在整座岛上回荡着。After a while, thatexplosive soundthenstopsgradually, all aroundrestored the silentappearance in thick fog, before as if , the earth-shatteringlarge explosionis onlyeveryone'scollectiveauditory hallucination.
紧接着又过了一会,那爆炸声便渐渐止息下来,四周又恢复了浓雾中的寂静模样,就仿佛之前天崩地裂般的大爆炸只是所有人的集体幻听罢了。„Only has the sound?” The first mateerraticallylooks atall aroundsurprisedly, saidunbelievable.
“只有声音?”大副惊疑不定地看着四周,难以置信地说道。„Is a remnantsound,” the Lawrenceheartbeatalsoreturns to normalgradually, doesfastwas judging that ——hedoes not knowalthoughownjudgedis right, butasCaptain, hemusttoeveryone a judgment, „that should be onlyinthisislandhad had the matternowa moment ago, repeatedinourearsin the remnantloudway, reallydoes not explode.”
“是一段残响,”劳伦斯的心跳也渐渐平复下来,飞快地做着判断——尽管他不知道自己的判断对不对,但作为船长,他现在必须给大家一个判断,“刚才那应该只是这座岛上曾经发生过的事情,以残响的方式又在我们耳边重演了一遍,不是真的爆炸。”„Iwas aboutto scare to deatha moment ago,” a sailoris whispering, „Ialsothink that reallyhas the large explosion......”
“刚才我快吓死了,”一个水手嘀咕着,“我还以为真有大爆炸……”„The explosive soundclosest to hereinthatdirection, first materaised the heada moment ago”, is confirming the position, finallyraised the handrefers to harborsquareanotherend, „cango to that sideto have a look?”
“刚才距离这里最近的爆炸声是在那个方向,”大副抬起头,确认着方位,最后抬手指向港口广场另一端,“要不要去那边看看?”„In the pasthad a look at the situation,”Lawrencegot down the decisionquickly, „, ifherereallyoncehadanything, thereshouldalsoremain the trace.”
“过去看看情况,”劳伦斯很快下了决定,“如果这里真的曾经发生了什么,那里应该还残留着痕迹。”
The explorationteamsets outtowardthatthick fogimmediately, thistime, theycompared withwent forwarda moment agodiscretely.
探索队伍立刻朝着那片浓雾进发,这一次,他们比刚才前进得更加谨慎。How longcrosseddid not know, a big project of collapsingappearedin front ofLawrence.
过了不知多久,一片坍塌的大型建筑出现在劳伦斯面前。Thispiece of buildingsituated in a small-scalebayposterior margin, is backing on a firmrockcliff, but...... itwas completely destroyedby a large explosionfrom inside to outsidefrom the destructiontrace of buildingobviously.
这片建筑物位于一处小型海湾内缘,背靠着一片坚固的岩石山崖,而从建筑物的破坏痕迹来看……它显然是被一场由内而外的大爆炸完全摧毁。
The bigsubstationin the high place, with astonishmentlooks atthisstretch of ruins.
大副站在高处,惊愕地看着这片废墟。„Facility why thisuses...... tooastonishing......”
“这得是干什么用的设施……太惊人了……”„Weshouldcuriousherehave how dreadfulmatter, suchfacilitywill be blown upwithout hesitation,”Lawrencesinkingsoundis saying, slowlyforwardedtwosteps, „, if the person on thisisland......”
“我们更应该好奇这里发生了多么可怕的事情,以至于这样的设施会被人毫不犹豫地炸毁,”劳伦斯沉声说着,慢慢向前走了两步,“如果这座岛上的人……”„Stops.”
“停下。”
A soundconveysfromsidesuddenly, Lawrencestopped the footstepsinstantaneously.
一个声音突然从旁边传来,劳伦斯瞬间停下了脚步。„Martha?!”
“玛莎?!”Helookedsuddenlytodirection that the soundconveys, issues the surprisedandintensesummon.
他猛然看向声音传来的方向,发出惊疑而紧张的呼唤。Butthereonly thenfog of fluctuating, cannot seethatfamiliarformslowly.
可那里只有一片缓缓起伏的雾,根本看不到那个熟悉的身影。„Captain?” The first matenoticedCaptainabnormalto respond,immediatelyjumps downfrom the stone, arrived atsideLawrenceanxiously, „what happened?”
“船长?”大副注意到了船长的异常反应,立刻从石头上跳下来,紧张地来到劳伦斯身边,“发生什么事了?”„...... The auditory hallucination,”Lawrencesaysimmediately, the expressionis especially serious, „youhave not heard the sound, yes?”
“……幻听,”劳伦斯立刻说道,表情格外严肃,“你们没有听到声音,是吧?”„Wehave not heard.” The sailorslook at each other in blank dismay, one of them said.
“我们没有听到。”水手们面面相觑,其中一人说道。„Wepossiblyshould notcontinueto penetrate,”Lawrenceknits the brows, „firstreturns to the harbor, then......”
“我们可能不该继续深入了,”劳伦斯皱起眉,“先回港口,然后……”
The Marthasoundspreads to hisear, thissoundnearlyleaves: „Returns to the ship, now.”玛莎的声音又传入他耳中,这次声音离得更近:“回船上,现在。”Lawrencewas startled, restrainsoneselfdo not lookagaintodirection that the soundconveys, healsowantsto continueto speak, however the nextsecond, the Marthasoundconveysagain, thistime is almost pastinghisear, in the tone, thenbringsrapid: „Returns to White Oak, immediately——Lawrence, theycome!”劳伦斯怔了一下,克制着自己不要再看向声音传来的方向,他还想继续说话,然而下一秒,玛莎的声音再次传来,这次几乎贴着他的耳朵,语气中则带着一丝急促:“回到白橡木号上,立刻——劳伦斯,他们来了!”Lawrenceopened the eyeslightly, subconsciousopens the mouth: „Who? Whocame?”劳伦斯微微睁大了眼睛,下意识开口:“谁?谁来了?”Nearbyfirst mateworried that holds the arm of Lawrence: „Captain, are youspeakingtowhom?”
一旁的大副担心地扶着劳伦斯的胳膊:“船长,您在跟谁说话?”Lawrencehas not opened the mouth, butlooks upsuddenlytodirection that White Oakapproached shore.劳伦斯没有开口,只是猛然抬头看向了白橡木号靠岸的方向。Well upsanxiously.
一股不安涌上心头。Butnextsecond, as iftoverifythisanxietysadly, thunderousindistinctpassed from thatdirectionsuddenly.
而下一秒,仿佛是为了印证这番不安,一声沉闷的雷鸣突然隐约从那个方向传了过来。Is the crackle of gunfire.
是炮声。„Somepeopleopen fire......”first mateto respondinstantaneously,„has the enemy!”
“有人开炮……”大副瞬间反应过来,“有敌人!”„Returns to the ship!”Lawrenceshouts, bringing the teamto have no more to do withthento runto the harbor, butinwind sound/rumor that by the earresoundsrapidly, the Marthasoundsuch as the whisperhas strokedhisearbankin a soft voice:
“回船上!”劳伦斯一声呼喊,带着队伍拔腿便跑向港口,而在耳旁迅速响起的风声中,玛莎的声音如轻声耳语般拂过他的耳畔:„Petrelnumbercame......”
“海燕号来了……”
