银河系漫游指南

这是一个非常重要的事实
It’s an important and popular fact
有些事并不像它看上去那样
that things are not always what they seem.
例如 在地球上 人类总是认为
For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed
他们是地球上最聪明的生物
that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet,
其实他们只排第三
instead of the third most intelligent.
排在第二位的 当然是海豚啦
The second most intelligent creatures were of-cause dolphins,
说来也很奇怪
who, curiously enough,
其实他们在很久以前 就知道地球要毁灭了
had long known of the impending destruction of the planet Earth.
他们尝试了很多次 要给人类警告
They’d made many attempts to alert mankind,
但是很多讯号♥ 都被人类理解为
but most of their communications were misinterpreted
它们是在玩球 或者吹口哨要吃的
as amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for tidbits.
所以它们毅然决定离开地球
So they eventually decided they would eave Earth by their own means.
就连海豚最后的口讯也被人类理解为
The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted
完美的后空翻
as a sophisticated attempt to do a backward somersault
穿过铁圈 然后冲向悬在空中的旗子
through a hoop, whistling The Star-Spangled Banner.
实际上 它们的口讯是
In fact, the message was this:
再见 多谢你们给我们的鱼
So long and thanks for all the fish.
再见 多谢你们给我们的鱼
So long and thanks for all the fish
事情到了这个地步真是不幸
So sad that it should come to this
我们总是想警告你们
We tried to warn you all but, oh, dear
但是你们并不了解
You may not share our intellect
你们是多么不尊敬
Which might explain your disrespect
你们身边的美好世界
For all the natural wonders that grow around you
再见 多谢你们给我们的鱼
So long, so long and thanks…for all the fish
你们的世界就要被毁灭了
Your world’s about to be destroyed
你们再也不需烦恼了
There’s no point getting all annoyed
躺下看着你们的星球被摧毁
Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you
不管今天是否打到鱼
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
我们觉得你们大都很可爱
We thought that most of you were sweet
尤其是小孩和孕妇们
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women
再见 再见 再见
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
再见 再见
So long, so long
再见 多谢你们给我们的鱼
So long, so long and thanks for all the fish
我只有最后一个愿望
If I had just one last wish
再给我一些美味的鱼
I would like a tasty fish
如果我们可以改变一件事
If we could just change one thing
那就是要学会唱歌♥
We would all have learnt to sing
大家一起来
Come one and all
人类和哺乳动物
Man and mammal
肩并肩在一起
Side by side
生命是一个庞大的基因库
In life’s great gene pool!
再见 再见 再见
So long, so long, so long
再见 再见
So long, so long
再见 多谢你们给我们的鱼
So long, so long and thanks for all the fish!

但是时间仓促 只能扮成这样了
but the best I could do at short notice.

You’re the first to get that right.

People at these parties are drunken idlots.
