【三體II】逐句帶你讀懂英文版《黑暗森林》(第3章-17)

“At its heart, the project consists of selecting a group of people to formulate and direct strategic plans. They will develop their plans entirely in their own minds, with no communication of any kind with the outside world. The true strategy of these plans, the necessary steps for completion, and the ultimate aims will remain hidden inside the brain. We shall call them the Wallfacers because that ancient Eastern name for meditators mirrors the unique characteristics of their work. As they direct the execution of their strategic plans, the thoughts and behaviors these Wallfacers present to the outside world will be entirely false, a carefully crafted mélange of disguise, misdirection, and deception. The subject of this misdirection and deception will be the entire world, both enemy and ally, until a huge, bewildering maze of illusions is erected to make the enemy lose its judgement, and to delay as long as possible the moment it works out our true strategic intent.
“面壁計(jì)劃的核心,就是選定一批戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃的制定者和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,他們完全依靠自己的思維制定戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃,不與外界進(jìn)行任何形式的交流,計(jì)劃的真實(shí)戰(zhàn)略思想、完成的步驟和最后目的都只藏在他們的大腦中,我們稱他們?yōu)槊姹谡撸@個(gè)古代東方冥思者的名稱很好地反映了他們的工作特點(diǎn)。在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這些戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃執(zhí)行的過(guò)程中,面壁者對(duì)外界所表現(xiàn)出來(lái)的思想和行為,應(yīng)該是完全的假象,是經(jīng)過(guò)精心策劃的偽裝、誤導(dǎo)和欺騙,面壁者所要誤導(dǎo)和欺騙的是包括敵方和己方在內(nèi)的整個(gè)世界,最終建立起一個(gè)撲朔迷離的巨大的假象迷宮,使敵人在這個(gè)迷宮中喪失正確的判斷,盡可能地推遲其判明我方真實(shí)戰(zhàn)略意圖的時(shí)間?!?/p>
“These Wallfacers will be granted extensive powers that will enable them to mobilize and exploit a portion of Earth’s existing military resources. As they carry out their strategic plans, the Wallfacers need not make any explanation for their actions and commands, regardless of how incomprehensible their behavior may be. Monitoring and control of the Wallfacers activity will be undertaken by the UN Planetary Defense Council, the sole institution granted the authority to veto Wallfacer commands under the UN Wallfacer Act.
“面壁者將被授予很高的權(quán)力,使他們能夠調(diào)集和使用地球已有的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)資源中的一部分。在戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃的執(zhí)行過(guò)程中,面壁者不必對(duì)自己的行為和命令做出任何解釋,不管這種行為是多么不可理解。面壁者的行為將由聯(lián)合國(guó)行星防御理事會(huì)進(jìn)行監(jiān)督和控制,這也是唯一有權(quán)根據(jù)聯(lián)合國(guó)面壁法案最后否決面壁者指令的機(jī)構(gòu)?!?/p>
“To guarantee the continuity of the Wallfacer Project, the Wallfacers will take advantage of hibernation technology to bridge the centuries to the Doomsday Battle. When and under what circumstances they will awaken, and for how long, will be decided by the Wallfacers themselves. Over the next four centuries, the UN Wallfacer Act will exist under international law on a level equal to the UN Charter and will act in concert with the national laws to guarantee the execution of the Wallfacers’ strategic plans.
“為了保證面壁計(jì)劃的連續(xù)性,所有面壁者將借助冬眠技術(shù)跨越時(shí)間,一直到達(dá)最后決戰(zhàn)的時(shí)代,這期間,在何時(shí)和何種情況下蘇醒,每次蘇醒期有多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間,均由面壁者自行決定。在以后的四個(gè)世紀(jì)的時(shí)間里,聯(lián)合國(guó)面壁法案將作為一項(xiàng)與聯(lián)合國(guó)憲章同等地位的國(guó)際法存在,它將與各國(guó)制定的相應(yīng)法律一起,保證面壁者戰(zhàn)略計(jì)劃的執(zhí)行?!?/p>
“The Wallfacers are undertaking the most difficult mission in human history. They will truly be on their own, their souls closed off to the world, to the entire universe. Their only communication partner and sole spiritual support will be themselves. Shouldering this great responsibility, they will pass through the long years alone, so let me speak for all humanity and offer them our deepest respect.
“Now, on behalf of the United Nations, I will announce the final four Wallfacer candidates as chosen by the UN Planetary Defense Council.
“面壁者所承擔(dān)的,將是人類歷史上最艱難的使命,他們是真正的獨(dú)行者,將對(duì)整個(gè)世界甚至整個(gè)宇宙,徹底關(guān)閉自己的心靈,他們所能傾述和交流的、他們?cè)诰裆衔ㄒ坏囊揽浚挥兴麄冏约?。他們將肩?fù)著這偉大的使命孤獨(dú)地走過(guò)漫長(zhǎng)的歲月,在這里,讓我代表人類社會(huì)向他們表達(dá)深深的敬意?!?/p>
