本录音来源于BO4亡灵节(cotd)。
1:
Jebediah Brown: The day is the 14th of April, the year of our Lord,1885.A day l will hold dear until my last. I have done and spent 30 years of my life in Purgatory Point. My Ma' brought me out here when l was but 10 years young.
杰比戴亚·布朗:今天是4月14日,主的年份,1885年。今天是我至死不会忘却的一天。唉,我已经在炼狱之点度过了我30年的人生。在我10岁的时候,妈把我带到了这里来。
She hoped to give us a chance at a new life.They're good folk here at Purgatory Point.And sure, sometimes they get a little rowdy and maybe we stray too far from heaven's gaze but uh...
她希望给我们新的生活的希望。在炼狱之点这里,有很多好的人们。的确,有时候他们会有点吵闹,可能因为我们离天堂的注视有点太远了,
What do you expect from a frontier mining town? Something happened to one of the miners.
Clive Farnsworth, a good man, came by the shop a few times.
但你能对一个前线的采矿小镇期待些什么呢?其中的一个矿工,发生了一点状况。克莱夫·法恩斯沃福,一个好伙计,曾经来过我们小店几次的。
Anyway, he went down into that mine, stayed down there for 10 days. When he came back up,he was... changed.They say he was like a feral animal, rabid and carnivorous.
总之,他下到了那个矿,在那里呆了整整10天。等他回来的时候,他.…...变了。他们说他像一只怪兽一般,疯狂、饮血。
His mind was gone, his flesh all sallow and bloody, his eyes are blazin'a red light!First home he stumbled upon was me and Ma's.I was at the shop at the time.
他的意识消失了,肉变成蜡黄色,鲜血淋漓,眼睛里散发出红光!他路过的第一家就是我家,我当时候还在店里。
Ma' went out to meet him, and Clive h.…. Doc'said it happened quick. Clive jumped on her,ripped her throat. OI Bill ran over, put two through Clive's skull. Shot him dead, like a dog.
妈妈出去见他,而克莱夫他.....医生说结束得很快。克莱夫袭击了她,撕碎了她的喉咙。老比尔赶过来,两枪打在克莱尔头上,当场把他打死,像打狗一样。
But Ma... she's been laid to rest now.She'll rise up to Heaven. And bless her soul,she'll be greeted with open arms.That mine.They've been digging for that blue rock.
而妈妈.....她已经安息了。她会到达天堂,保佑她的灵魂,会受到热切的欢迎。那个该死的矿坑,他们一直在挖掘那些蓝色的矿石。
Some folks say you stare too long you'll find the devil in it.I need answers, I need to understand what happened.I'll head down to that mine tomorrow.
有些人说如果你盯着它们看太久,你会看到其中的恶魔。我需要找到答案,我需要明白到底发生了什么。我明天要亲自下去那个矿。
2:
Jebediah Brown: The day is the 19th of April, the year of our Lord, 1885.Somehow, I don’t know how it's possible. Last I recall I was headed into the mine, I swear l was only down there for a few hours.
杰比戴亚·布朗:今天是4月19日,主的年份,1885年。我很难解释,我不知道这是怎么做到的。我能想起的就是,我往矿里走,而我发誓,我仅仅在下面呆了几个小时。
When l come back up, townsfolk say I've been missing for 5 days.Then there was last night, when l slept l had a vision.
但当我上来以后,镇子里的人们说我已经失踪了5天。然后就是昨晚,我睡觉时,做了一个梦。
Two angels came down to me from Heaven. They told me I needed to be ready,to prepare for what was coming. What was coming, they would not tell me.
我看到两个天使从天堂来找我,他们说我要准备好,准备去面对即将到来的一切。要到来的到底是什么,他们不告诉我。
But how to prepare, "build a machine"they said. "A machine that would grant you great power".This machine was complex, requiring craftsmanship and mechanical skill l do not have.
但至于怎么准备…....他们说,“建造一个机器”,“一个能够赋予极大力量的机器”。这个机器非常复杂,需要一些我不具备的机械技能。
l told them so, but they said not to worry. They would guide my hands.The way they described it, sounded like an oven or a kiln.
我这样和他们说,但他们让我不必担心,他们会指导我去做。听他们的描述,这个机器像是某种烤炉,或者窑。
You stick your rifle inside, and when it come back out,let's just say that rifle will pack a serious punch.你把你的枪械放进去,然后当它们重新出来的时候,呵呵,这么说吧,那把枪械将会强无敌。
3:
Jebediah Brown: Today is the 30th of June, the year of our Lord, 1885. My invention is the talk of the town. People been coming from far and wide, eager for a chance to upgrade their firearms.
杰比戴亚·布朗:今天是6月30日,主的年份,1885年。我的发明现在已经是整个小镇里的话题了,各形各色的人都到这里来,想要找到机会升级他们的武器。
Revolver, rifle, the machine don't care it'll pack 'em all. l pray every night thanking
the Heavens for sending the two angels, l couldn’t have done this without their guiding hand.
左轮手枪、步枪.....那个机器来者不拒,全部升级。我每晚都向神灵祷告,感谢天堂派来那两位天使,没有他们的指引,我不会能够做出这个机器。
They returned to me last night. They told me there was another machine they wished me to build.They called it the Agarthan Device. Said it had the power to grant that which one truly desires
昨晚,他们再次拜访,他们告诉我,想要我建造另一个机器。他们把它称作“阿冈莎装置”。他们说它拥有着实现一个人真正愿望的能力。
l told them l was their servant. Show me the path, and I will walk. They said I needed 3 things.The blood of an elder god, an Elemental Shard, and a metallic vessel to harness and carry both.
我说我愿做牛做马,为我指明道路,我将无怨无悔地跟随。他们说,我需要三个物品。一个上古之神的血液,一块元素碎片,以及一个能够利用并容纳这两者的金属容器。
To find the blood, they instructed me to travel to the bottom of the ocean.l told them this l could not do, for l would perish.
要找到这血液,他们指引要我前往海洋的底部,我则告诉他们我做不到,因为我必将殒命。
To craft an Elemental Shard, they instructed me to forge four souls with a blue rock from our mine.l told them this l could not do for l did not have the means to siphon a human soul to an element.
要造出一块元素碎片,他们表示需要我将四个灵魂与一块我们矿坑里的蓝色矿石嵌合起来,
我告诉他们,这我也做不到,因为我没有任何能够将人类的灵魂镶入元素的能力。
But a metal vessel, well, 1 am a blacksmith.That? That l think l could manage.
但做一个金属容器,哈,我是个铁匠,这个我觉得我可以应付过来。
升级机器面世后,受到了各方的热捧。而两个天使则让杰比戴亚帮他们做阿冈莎装置。这里,装置的建造方式:需要三个物品:“上古之神”的血液、元素碎片以及一个金属容器。
4:
Jebediah Brown:Today is the 21st of July, the year of our Lord, 1885.I have, uh, a confession.l am burdened with sin.I fear l am the architect of my own damnation.This town.. this town is cursed.
杰比戴亚·布朗:今天是7月21日,主的年份,1885年。我,呃,需要悔过。我负罪累累,我恐怕我将为自己惹来诅咒。这个小镇.....这个小镇已经被诅咒了。
The Devil himself has possessed our people, folks had been acting all kinds of crazy.
Paranoia, visions, seeing thing that ain't there.
杰比戴亚·布朗:恶魔已经侵蚀了我们的人们,镇民们最近都各种疯狂不堪。妄想症、幻视,看到一些不属于这里的东西.……
And the violence. Seven dead in the last 5 days. Sheriff don't know what's gotten
into these people, but l know. It's that damned mine! Them blue rocks!
......以及无边的暴力,过去的5天里已经有7个人死去了,警长不知道这些人都怎么了,
但我知道。是那个该死的矿洞,那些该死的蓝色矿石!
Doc' believes them to be meteors from the sky, from up in the stars. Maybe from Heaven.But whatever the cause, I fear the disease that consumes this town has gotten to me as well
医生说它们是来自天上的陨石,来自群星,可能来自天堂。
无论原因是什么,我觉得侵蚀着这个小镇的疟疾也已经影响了我。
Last night, l felt overcome with loss and grief. l went to see Ma'in the cemetery. Maybe it was the whiskey, maybe it was delirium I can't say what... , uh, dug her up, and, uh, took her into town.
昨晚,我被悲伤和痛苦所屈服,我到墓园里探望妈。可能是因为威士忌,可能是某种失魂的原因,
我说不清,我....….我,呃,把她挖了起来,并把她带到了镇里。
l took her to my shop where l kept the machine. l, uh, I don't know what came over me,
like something took control of my body, like a puppet on strings.
我将她带到店里,我保存我的机器的地方。我,我也不知道是什么驱使了我,像是有什么附着在我的身体里,像扯线娃娃一样。我将她放进了机器里。
l don't know why, may-maybe, maybe it would bring her back to me.
But she vanished. Nothing came back out.
我不知道为什么,可、可能它能够将妈妈带回来我身边。
但她消失了,没有东西从机器里出来。
l stumbled home in a daze, but as l arrived,I see before my eyes... I see an apparition, a spirit. It looks just like her. Only when she was younger. She floats around the house now.I catch her playing the piano.
我踉踉跄跄地回了家,但就在我到达时,我看到了,一个幻影,一个灵魂。它看起来和妈妈一模一样
只是像她更年轻的样子。她在房子里飘来飘去,我看到她在弹钢琴。
The angels, the angels, they came back to me again. I've built the metal carriage just
as they asked. Only one thing left to do now, upgrade it with my machine.
那两个天使,天使们再一次拜访了我。我已经做好了他们要求的金属载体,只剩下一件事了,那就是用我的机器升级它。
听到这里我们就基本可以确定了,杰比戴亚的小镇的确就是埋葬的那个19世纪风格的美国西部小镇。这个录音之中正是解释了埋葬地图邸宅之中漂浮的女性幽魂的来源。小镇和住民受到115元素的影响愈加严重,在影响之下,杰比戴亚挖起了他死去母亲的尸体,尝试放入升级机器中。但结果则是让其变成了在家中游荡的幽灵。同时,杰比戴亚也已经完成了金属容器,准备利用机器进行升级。
5:
Jebediah Brown: Today is the 22nd of July, the year of our Lord, 1885. We are truly lost, this town, these people.We are being punished by Heaven for our transgression and now must suffer the righteous hand of retribution.
杰比戴亚·布朗:今天是7月22日,主的年份,1885年。我们已经彻底失败了,这个小镇,和这些人们我们因为我们的不敬而被天堂惩罚,现在必须接受正义之手的因果报应。
l did as they asked, I put the metal vessel in the Pack-a-Punch machine, just as instructed. Next thing l know, all the energy, all the power of the world get sucked out of the air as if pulled inside the machine!
我像那两个天使说的那样,把我的金属容器放进了升级机器。接下来,整个世界的能量和力量从空气中被抽取出来,被扯进了机器里!
Next thing, the world went white. Il came too and I see that l, my shop, all the people, the whole damn town has been transported as if willed by the Lord into this cavern, buried below the surface of the Earth!
然后,整个世界都变白了。我来到了这里,我的店、所有的人们,整个该死的小镇都被传送到了这个洞穴里,被埋在地球的表面之下,就像是被主所控一般。
l fear we are at the threshold of Hell, the world just waiting to open below our feet!We've been overrun by the Devil's army! The dead have risen and now duel us in battle!
我恐怕我们现在就在地狱的门口,世界即将在我们脚下张口把我们吞噬!我们已经被恶魔的军队入侵,死者死而复生,现在与我们交战!
My name is Jebediah Brown and l bow humbly before the two angels and ask for forgiveness. Show us the path to salvation! We are listening!
我是杰比戴亚·布朗!我忠诚地跪拜在两位天使的跟前,我请求你们的宽恕!请向我们展示获得救赎的道路,我们洗耳恭听!
Jebediah Brown: Hello?
杰比戴亚·布朗:有人吗?!
在杰比戴亚把金属容器放入升级机器以后,发生了剧变。整个镇子被传送到了地球的表面之下,或者说,小镇被“埋葬”了。这就是埋葬小镇的来龙去脉,此时僵尸已经肆虐小镇,杰比戴亚发出了最后的求救,之后凶多吉少。
升级机器的最初发明者正是杰比戴亚,他也是第一个得知阿冈莎装置的建造方法的人。这些秘密与他和小镇一起被埋在安哥拉的地下,直到下一批来访的人到达....
