通往永恒的詩：天堂還是地獄？
作者：布萊恩 Brian
As we go careening through the highways of life,
當我們疾駛穿越人生的高速公路時，
gaining momentum, faster, faster,
既獲得了動力，就把車開得更快，更快，
the signs, the markers; We laugh.
至於那些指示牌，那些標記；我們嘲笑它們。
How could a sign tell us anything?
一個指示牌怎麽能告訴我們什麽呢？
Besides, who could read them,
再說，誰能讀它們，
who would read them,
誰願意讀它們，
at this powerful speed?
在以如此强勁的速度行駛的情況下？
We are our destiny.
我們是自己的命運。
We make the difference.
我們能讓世界變得不一樣。
We are in control.
一切都在我們的掌控之中。
The signs try to stop us.
那些標示牌試圖讓我們停下來。
That's all.
如此而已。
We are in control.
一切都在我們的掌控之中。
Who can stop us?
誰能阻止我們呢？
The powerful make the difference.
强者能讓世界變得不一樣。
More power!
更多的能力！
More speed!
更快的速度！
The future is ours.
未來就是我們的。
What lies ahead is what WE make it.
未來的道路是我們成就的。
But wait!
但是，等等！
What is this in front of our faces?
這在我們面前的是什麽？
Is it the highway itself?
是公路本身嗎？
Or is it one of us on the road?
還是在路上的我們中的一個？
Can't tell if it is the road or....
無法判斷這是路還是…
It waves.They wave.
它招手。他們招手。
Do they dare to try to stop us, the powerful.
他們竟敢試圖讓我們這些强者停下來。
Who are they
（他們以為）他們是誰，
but just another sign?
不過只是另一個標示牌而已？
Our engines roar with power.
我們的引擎滿有力量地轟鳴著
Who can stop this power?
誰能阻止這種力量？
This sign...
至於這個標示牌…
we will run it down...
我們要撞倒它…
as our powerful beast roars down
當我們的强大的野獸（指車）咆哮著
on this meek and frail little sign.
壓過這個溫和、弱小的指示牌的時候。
We can see in its eyes.
我們能在它的眼睛裡看見。
They are our eyes.
它們是我們的眼睛。
They are the eyes of the road.
它們是路的眼睛。
They are the eyes of the universe.
它們是宇宙的眼睛。
As we plow down this tiny weak sign,
當我們如犁田般碾壓這微小虛弱的標示牌時，
his eyes become our eyes.
他的眼睛成為我們的眼睛。
Our eyes see from his eyes.
我們的眼睛透過他的眼睛去看。
The road we come from does not matter.
我們來時的路並不重要。
What we were is now not a part of us.
曾經的我們如今與我們無份。
The powerful beast has been taken away.
那隻强大的野獸已被帶走。
It roars with great power.
它帶著巨大的力量咆哮著。
It was proud to have smashed the little sign.
它因撞毀了那個小標示牌而感到驕傲。
But what it did...
但是它所做的一切…
it brought us....
它帶我們…
it brought the sign together.
它（把我們和）標示牌帶到了一起
That little sign stood in the road
那個小標示牌站在路中央
and stopped the mighty beast,
攔阻强壯的野獸，
gave itself for us.
它為我們犧牲了自己。
Though the sign was small,
儘管那個標示牌很小，
its heart was the heart of the universe
它的心却是宇宙的心，
and we were amazed
我們感到很驚奇
when that little sign got up
當那個小標示牌站立起來，
from being crushed by the powerful beast
從被那隻强大的野獸壓碎中
and turned His back to the beast.
隨後轉過身背對著那隻野獸的時候，
The beast was powerless.
野獸沒有了能力。
The little sign won over that beast
那個小標示牌勝過了那隻野獸。
It won for us,
它為我們贏得了勝利，
forever....
直到永遠…
