《风城大佬》观剧笔记

The Food Chain

Each layer of the hierachy struggles, toils, exists, only to be consumed by a dominant species.

Grass, bugs, birds, snakes, and so on.

One feeding the next all the way up to the commanding predatory creatures.

强者在艰难的时刻会选择妥协，而变得更坚强。我希望能成为他们中的一员。

In times of desperation, we must sometimes sacrifice our darlings.

绝望时刻，必须割下心头肉。

Sacrifice the castle to take down the king.

牺牲城堡以推翻国王。

Castles can be rebuilt, men cannot.

城堡可以重建，但是人不可以。

Sailor's term

Hard up in a clinch and no knife to cut the seizing.
