1900独白—海上钢琴师

The end of the world

在世界的尽头

Take a piano

轻抚琴键

The keys begin, the keys end

琴声升起又落下

You know there are 88 of them and no-one can tell you differently

你知道它们一共有88个却没人告诉你他们的区别

They are not infinite, you are infinite

它们不是无穷无尽的，而你是

And on those 88 keys the music that you can make is infinite

在音乐里，你可以利用它们创造无限

I like that

我喜欢那样

That I can live by

那是我活下去的方式

But you get me up on that gangway

但是你让我从舷梯走下去

And roll out a keyboard with millions of keys

跟着千万个音符离开键盘

And that's the truth, there's no end to them

那是真的，他们是无止境的

That keyboard is infinite

那样的“键盘”是无限的

But if that keyboard is infinite, there's no music you can play

但如果键盘是无限的，你也就没有音乐可以弹奏了

You're sitting on the wrong bench

那条长凳不属于你

That's God's piano

因为那是上帝的钢琴

Christ, did you see the streets? There were thousands of them!

你看到那条路了吗？那里有千万个他们啊

How do you choose just one?

你怎能只选一个？

One woman, one house

一个女人，一个房子

One piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at

一片你自己的地，一片可观赏的风景

One way to die

一种死亡的方式

All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends

你背负着整个世界，却不知道尽头在何处

Aren't you scared of just breaking apart

你不害怕被压垮吗？

Just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it?

想一想生活在其中的意义是什么

I was born on this ship

我在船上出生

The world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time.

那时，世界从我身旁走过，但那两千人没有

And there were wishes here

那就是希望所在

But never more than fit between prow and stern

但从来都不会多过这艘船，在船头和船尾之间

You played out your happiness on a piano that was not infinite

你在钢琴上传达出了你的快乐，然而那不是无穷的

I learned to live that way

我学到那样的生活方式

Land is a ship too big for me

而陆地对我来说是一艘过大的船

It's a woman too beautiful

是个太漂亮的美人

It's a voyage too long

是一条太长的航线

Perfume too strong

太浓的香水

It's music I don't know how to make

是一首不知该如何弹奏的乐曲

I can never get off this ship

我无法离开这艘船

I'm blessed I can step off my life

我没法舍弃这艘船，我宁可舍弃自己的生命

After all, I don't exist for anyone

反正，世间没人记得我
