Okay…
西德尼

想象一个疯狂的科学家
Imagine a mad scientist,
带着他制♥造♥的机械怪物到穷乡僻壤巡游
touring the boonies with a mechanical freak he’s fabricated.
什么叫他”制♥造♥”的
Now, what does he mean, “fabricated”?
并将其放在一个巨大的丝绸镶边的盒子里

给那些迷信的乡巴佬看
in a giant, silk-lined casket

Let me guess. They think it’s the devil?
村民看什么都觉得是恶魔

身后是愤怒的农民们
Flee from outraged peasants…
带着火把穷追不舍
Who pursue them mit torches…
掀翻了他们吱吱作响的马车
Overturn their creaky wagon…
并一把火给烧了
And set fire to it.
给他讲讲结尾 查理
Tell him about the finale, Charlie.
这个…
Well…
大雨变成了雨夹雪
The rain turns to sleet,
浇灭了大火 并将怪物埋葬在了坚冰之下
puts out the fire, and entombs the monster in solid ice.
而不远处 一位年迈的牧师暗自抹了把眼泪
While nearby, an old priest weeps.
抹泪的牧师
A weeping priest?
雷 电 血 火 宗教…
Thunder, lightning, blood, fire, religion…
都出现在一部电影里
All in one film?
随着一次反季的回暖
And with an unseasonal thaw…
续集来了
A sequel.
你不是说这有内涵吗 不是不一样吗
I thought you said this was about something, this was different.
还有人类想扮演上帝却注定是徒劳
Plus, the ominous futility of man playing God.
浮士德式的永生交易
The Faustian bargain of life everlasting.
还有人类精神的胜利
And the triumph of the human spirit
战胜化身于我们坚实躯体的野兽
over the beast incarnate in our far-too-solid flesh.
