我念念不忘的对白

-So you're the explore? 您是探险者？ --I've made one or two modest discoveries. There's a Murray Mountain in the eastern regions of the Belgian lango. if you are ever in the in the vincity. Not the tallest Mountain,to be sure.,but not the smallest either. I've spent most of my life in Africa ,beholding wonders. 我有过那么一两次小发现吧，如果你正好去比属刚果的话，东部有座穆雷山就是以我命名的，肯定不是最高的山，但也不是最矮的，我在非洲待了大半辈子，见证着奇迹。 --I was surprised to get your note. You seem a man who holds his secrets fast. I wasn't going to come. 收到您的邀请我很惊讶，您像是紧紧守住自己秘密的人，我本不打算来的。 --But you couldn’t resist .When you see a river, you must follow it to its source. No matter the perils ,no matter those comrades that fall along the way .You must know things work.Youmust unlock.You are dissatisfied always. 但你忍不住，你看到河流，就必须追本溯源，不顾危险，也不管会牺牲多少同伴，你必须搞清楚事物的运作，你必须解密，你总是不满。 --Are you satisfied? 那你呢？ --I’m seeking. 我在寻找。 --What? 找什么？ --Perhaps the same as you . 也许和你一样。 --Mm.I seek the truth. 我寻求真相。 --Ah,you’re a very young man.I’ve long since learned that truth is mutable. 你太年轻，我早已看透真相无常。 --Perhaps we view science differently. 也许我们看待科学的方式不同。 --Do we? 是吗？ --I would never chart river or scale a peak to take its measure or plant a falg .There’s no point.It’s solipistic solf-aggrandizement .So too those scientist who study the planetsfor its own sake.Seeking astronomical enlightenment.The bofanists studing the varigation of an Amazonianfern. The zonlogists,caught up in the endless fascination of an adder’s coils.And for what?knowledge for itself alone?The elation of discovey ?Plant your flag on the “turth”. There’s only one worlthy goal for scientific exploration .Piercing the tissue that separates life from death .Everthing else ,form the deep bottom of the sea to the top.Of most highest mountain on the farthest planet is insignificant.Life and denth ,Sir Malcolm.The ficker that seperates one from the other .fast as the bat’s wing …more beatiful than any sonnet.That is my river .That is my mountain,There,I will plant my flag. 我绝不会沿着河流寻找源头，或是为了丈量高度 插面旗帜而去登山，这毫无意义，这就是自我膨胀，追名逐利，还有那些天文学家，沉迷于所谓的星球发现，植物学家醉心于亚马逊某一种蕨类，动物学家被蟒蛇身上的螺旋纹吸引不已，为了什么？是纯粹为了习得知识吗？还是想要发现新事物的快感？抑或是将自己的旗帜插在“真相”之上？科学探索的真正目的只有一个，那就是解开生与死之谜，其他的一切，从海底最深处到最遥远那颗星球上最高的山峰，全都无关紧要，只有生与死，马尔科姆爵士，生离死别就在那电光火石的一刹那，比任何一首十四行诗都要凄美，那才是我的河流，那才是我的高山，那才是我要插上自己旗帜的地方。 --You have the soal of a poet ，sir. 孩子，你还挺有诗意。 --And a bank account to match. 也跟穷秀才一样一贫如洗。
