【英雄】第1季第1集 Part 1
1. Where does it come from? This quest, this need to solve life's mysteries, when the simplest of questions can never be answered? Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off, not looking at all, not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature, not the human heart, is not why we are here.
——大意:这些对生命奥秘的疑惑和渴望,究竟从何而来?是因为这些最简单的问题却从未有过答案么?我们为什么在这?灵魂是什么?我们为什么会有梦想?或许我们该对其置之不理,不要去追寻答案,不要去渴望。但是那不是人类的天性,不是人类的追求,不是我们来到人世的原因。(这段话文学色彩很浓重,所以语法结构和含义都不容易理解,上述翻译仅是初探,也许有误读的地方,欢迎指教。)
——第一个it是指后面的quest 和need,我们对生命奥秘的疑问和渴望来自于哪里呢?
——the simplest of questions 是指后边的3个提问,Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream?
——would be better off doing/ not doing, 表示最好做/不做某事,we'd be better off, not looking at all, not delving, not yearning. 是说最好不要看,不要探究,不要向往。
——delve探究考察
——yearn向往
