PAST
It had been a while, and so she’d grown confident.
在经过了一段时间之后,她的自信心开始慢慢增长了。
In the time since she began she’d explored much of this glass and mirror world, and she’d gathered countless shards. Like an unending scarf they formed around her neck and trailed long behind her. Now, she stood atop a fallen tower and looked out ahead with a smile. The terrible memories of other places twisted behind her menacingly.
最开始的时候,她对这些玻璃碎片和这个世界进行了大量探索,而且她将无数的玻璃碎片聚集在一起。它们在她身后形成了一条长到望不到尽头的围巾围在她的脖子上。现在,她站在一座陷落的塔楼的楼顶,目视前方,露齿而笑。原先散布在其它地方的可怕碎片,也都在她身后扭曲地悬浮着。
She was gazing at a place that had always caught her eye, but she’d refrained from ever going toward it. It was some sort of distant labyrinth turning into the sky with insane geometry. Of course, it was more glass. Of course, she could feel its filth pulsing all the way out here.
她凝视着一个地方,这个地方她一直很在意,但她一直克制着自己前往那个地方。那是一个距离自己很遥远的,在天空中构建着疯狂的几何图形的迷宫。当然,那里似乎有更多的玻璃碎片,而且她能感觉到那污秽的气息朝着这里蔓延过来。
Although she still had no idea how to go about it, she intended to be rid of the terrible fragments that followed her eventually. To that end she was gathering them. She at least took comfort in having the bad all in one place. That would make clearing it away one day all the more easier. This labyrinth was particularly bad, and she felt confident in gathering its fragments too.
尽管她不知道如何去面对这个迷宫,但她最终还是下定决心摆脱在她身后的无数的可怕碎片。为了那个目的,她才会收集它们。她至少在看到一个很不好的地方的时候才会有些安心,因为这样一来,她就能更加容易地在某一天能够清除掉所有的玻璃碎片。这个迷宫看起来特别地不好,但她仍然有信心把碎片收集起来。
The maze was surrounding by a glittering and ever-shifting sea of good memories. As she made her away toward the maze, the sea parted, only a few shards coming to join the trail behind her. However, while walking the path and scattering the good shards she suddenly hesitated. Now flanked by hope, with despair before her, she chewed on her lip… and her heart wavered.
这个迷宫是被一片闪闪发光的不断移动着的承载着美好记忆的碎片组成的海洋所包围着的。在她向迷宫走去的时候,大海却分开了,只有少数几个碎片移动到她的身后。然而,当她走在海面分开所出现的小路上,想将这些美好记忆的碎片都驱散开来的时候,她忽然开始犹豫了——希望只愿对她侧目而视,绝望只愿对她俯首称臣,她不禁咬住了嘴唇……而她的心也开始颤抖了。
PRESENT
Once upon a time, surely, things had to have been better.
在这之前,对,事情原本会变好一些的。
The girl remembered nothing. And since awaking in the world of glass she’d only ever known other memories. Because of this, she’d drawn many conclusions and had few second thoughts. She’d been assured of the idea that nothing in the glass and nothing in this world held any worth. Filth and awfulness, tears and pain, a small smile, and death.
这个女孩想不起任何事。早在从这个满是玻璃碎片的世界中醒来的时候,她就只能看到在玻璃碎片中反映出来的记忆。也正因为如此,她虽然对目前的状况得出了很多结论,但她并没有什么更深入的想法。因为她认为,这些玻璃碎片也好,这个世界也好,都没有什么具有价值的东西存在。无论是肮脏的东西也好,还是可怕的东西也好,眼泪也好,痛苦也好,小小的微笑也好,还是死亡也好,都不值一提。
But once upon a time, things had to have been better. Simple rules are often true: shadows are begotten from light. Shadow lurked at her back, and now she was surrounded by light.
但是在那之前,事情原本会变好一些的。规则只要简单,就往往会正确:只要有光存在,就有阴影产生。在她被光所环绕的现在,阴影就都在她的背后潜伏着。
When she’d stepped into these waves of joy and purity, she hadn’t given it a second thought. She’d become so absorbed in evil that she had forgotten simple good. To be honest it was more than her heart simply wavering, now. She was overwhelmed. For every glint of hope that caught her eye on the way to the jagged maze, she paused and questioned everything. There was an answer she did not want to acknowledge, immersed in this scene of light and chaos. She didn’t want to think about it. She wouldn’t allow herself to think about it.
在她走入这片充满了快乐和纯净的浪潮之时,她就没有在更深入的思考。她已经变得对邪念如此一心一意,以至于忘却了最初的单纯的善意。说实话,她的内心现在开始动摇了,她已经变得不知所措。在走向这片锯齿形状一般的迷宫的途中,她都注视着每一片闪烁着的希望,她停了下来,并扪心自问。有一件事她不想承认——她想在这个混杂着光与混沌的世界中沉沦。她不想考虑这件事,她不会允许自己考虑这件事。
And before she really could, she stood before the entrance to the impossible labyrinth.
在她下定了决心之前,她已经站在了那象征着不可能的迷宫入口前。
On impulse, she reached out to the better glass and memories of flowering fields came to follow around her in a ring. She didn’t know why, nor if they would help.
在一时心血来潮之下,她把手伸向美好碎片——的瞬间,有一片承载着记忆的花田在她脚下开放。她不知道这是怎么回事,也不知道它们会不会帮助自己。
FUTURE
She didn’t know it, but she had a name. If she knew it, perhaps she wouldn’t have entered the twisted black maze. It may have been a meaningful name that may have made her doubts much stronger. But she didn’t know, she ground her teeth, and she reaffirmed her beliefs. The light from before would not shake her, the light of the flower ring would not shake her. She entered the dark structure and started tearing it apart.
她并不知道,但她其实是有一个名字的。如果她知道的话,她可能就不会选择进入这扭曲的黑色迷宫。这个名字很有意义,有意义到可能会让她对自身的存在而感到更加怀疑。但是她并不知道,她咬住牙根,重新坚定了自己所坚信的东西。她不会被先前的光线动摇,也不会被那些花朵所动摇。她毅然走进这个建筑物并开始将它撕成碎片。
Each wall pulled away was made of misery, each facet held horrors, and the corners were comprised of fear. This was a castle of iniquity. Simply put, it was grotesque. It was powerfully grotesque.
每一面墙壁都由苦难组成,每一个小平面都蔓延着恐怖的气息,每一个角落都包含着恐惧。这是一个极为邪恶的城堡。总而言之,它很怪异。它非常地怪异。
And that girl, her grin returned. This was it. Climbing through it, running through it, this was the kind of disgusting monolith that had compelled her into action in the first place. She hadn’t been wrong. The glass should only be shattered. The mirrors should only be destroyed.
而那个女孩,又一次露齿而笑。就这样,攀登过去,跑过去,有一块令人极为不快的巨石促使她先一步采取行动。她并不觉得自己做错了什么。玻璃本就该被打碎,镜子本就该被毁灭。
And as she gleefully pulled away great swatches of the maze, hallways tumbling into the air, her smile became warped. She winced; something was wrong with her head. At the heart of the maze, there was *something* worse than any memory before. She could feel it, close now, calling to her. Her enthusiasm had drained, and her progress had slowed, and she saw a wicked shard of glass turning in space, containing the memory of the end of a world.
当她极为欢欣地撕开迷宫中的大片地板的时候,走廊在空中歪斜着,她的笑容开始扭曲起来。她的脸开始抽搐,她感觉有什么不对劲。在迷宫的中心区域,有着比先前的记忆更为可怕的“东西”。她能感觉得到,它在接近自己,呼唤自己。此时她感觉自己的干劲都被消耗殆尽,而且她的脚步已经放慢,然后她看见一块极为邪恶的玻璃碎片在这个空间中转动着,这里面包含了关于世界末日的回忆。
With a hand on her face, she looked into the mirrored world. She remembered the sea of pleasant realities below her and the flowers now circling around her. She’d taken down part of the maze’s roof and the walls had subsequently fallen away. Dark glass rained slowly around her, and in the distance the better memories shone brightly.
她将一只手搭在脸上,她看着这个如镜子一般的世界。她记起了那片让人愉快的、又感觉很实际的记忆之海,她记起了在她的周围盘旋着的那些花朵。但她还是拆下了迷宫顶部的一部分,随后墙壁开始倒塌了。那些黑色的墙壁碎片在她周围有如雨滴一般慢慢下着,而远处的那些美好记忆也闪烁得更加厉害。
She looked into the end of the world between her fingers. She swallowed, and with newfound strength, removed the hand from her face. She reached out, and dragged the end of the world into her collection of memories. With this monolith toppled, she felt an honest and genuine surge of bliss. However terrible the memories she faced from now on would be, it couldn’t possibly matter. She was certain now that she was strong, and she would definitely destroy them all. And so, with a genuine smile and a tired laugh, she came down from the sky, and the tower along with her.
她透过手指之间的缝隙注视着那块有着世界末日记忆的碎片。她咽了口唾沫,然后感觉到了一种新生的力量,在将双手从她脸上放下之后。她伸出了手,将那块有着世界末日记忆的碎片拽入自己所收集的记忆当中。在那块巨石倒塌之时,她感到一种极为真诚的极乐之福。然而她现在将面临着可怕的记忆,但这或许无关紧要。她现在确信自己很坚强,而且她清楚自己一定能摧毁这一切。于是,她带着欣慰但又疲惫的笑声,准备向着那座塔楼从天上下来。
