你在纵容我
You’re indulging me
因为我的父亲
because of my father.
不是
No.
我开始想
I came to wonder,
有没有女人能
could any woman ever reach
像他母亲一样触碰到他的内心
or touch Tesla? The way his mother had?
在她死前 他预见到了
He had a vision just before she died.
1♥8♥9♥2年复活节凌晨一点
Easter Sunday at one a.m., 1♥8♥9♥2.
他母亲葬礼过后 他病倒了

and spent three weeks living like a shadow in the village
游荡了三周
where she was born.
然后他触底反弹在贝尔格莱德开了次讲座
Then he rebounded, gave a lecture in Belgrade
然后回家了
and came home.
不
No.
你把人当作机器 但你错了
You think of people as machines, but you’re wrong.
-他们不是 -我说的是
– They aren’t. – I said
整个宇宙是一台机器
the universe is a machine.
不对
No.
我们有外在也有内在

若不是他太忙着帮爱迪生的话

当心他的鼻子

他的鼻子
His nose.
我想你应该听说过

他鼻子因此发炎变形
Inflaming and disfiguring his nose.
如果你假装看不见 他会生气
He dares you to pretend you don’t see it.
可能也会发生在我身上
Maybe it will happen to me,
只是时间问题
it’s just a matter of time.
也许我没有鼻子会更好
Maybe I’d be better off without a nose,
像斯芬克斯一样
like the sphinx.

That’s one way to size up the pavilion of light
馆内光线是否充足的一种方法
at the World’s Fair in Chicago 1♥8♥9♥3,

没有道歉 他们也没有和解

你不禁会想
And you can’t help but wonder,
要是特斯拉身边有个敏锐聪明的人
if only Tesla had someone sharp and smart at his side,
一个有见识的骗子引导他渡过难关
an enlightened hustler to steer him through the crass,
也就是商业领域

要是有的话
If only.
